Summary
- Marvel Rivals fans criticize battle pass for slow progression, advocating for Chrono Token rewards after matches.
- Players suggest NetEase Games should provide small amounts of Chrono Tokens after matches to reward longer play sessions.
- There are three currencies are present in Marvel Rivals: Units, Lattice, and Chrono Tokens, and each has distinct purposes for in-game rewards.
Marvel Rivals fans took to social media to express disappointment with the battle pass, stating it takes too long to progress and that simply playing matches should reward players with Chrono Tokens. There are three types of currency in Marvel Rivals: Lattice, Units, and Chrono Tokens. While Units and Lattice can be spent on acquiring skins in the game's shop, Chrono Tokens are exclusively used to claim rewards in the battle pass. These three currencies can be earned through challenges, daily objectives, or even achievements.
The battle pass for Marvel Rivals Season 1: Eternal Night Falls features 10 skins, Units, Lattice, sprays, and more with players able to earn some rewards for free as well. For instance, gamers who earn enough Chrono Tokens can claim cosmetics for Peni Parker and Scarlet Witch at no cost. Fans who purchase the luxury pass never have to worry about it expiring, as players can continue to progress any battle pass beyond the end of a season. While many of these features have been a hit with the community, some people still feel as if the battle pass could use some improvement.
Marvel Rivals Players Feel One Skin Is Pay-to-Lose
Marvel Rivals players take to social media to express disappointment over one particular skin in the game, claiming it is pay-to-lose.
In a recent post on Reddit, Lady_Eisheth questioned the developer's decision to lock Marvel Rivals' battle pass progression behind Chrono Tokens that can only be earned through challenges and daily objectives. The redditor claimed that they've played the popular hero shooter every day and have only managed to complete two pages of the battle pass. While they understood NetEase Games' desire to have players log into the game frequently, they questioned how a casual player might complete the battle pass by the end of the season. Furthermore, they stated that it doesn't reward players who sink hours into the game in a single sitting, favoring daily engagement over cumulative playtime.
Marvel Rivals Players Want More Ways to Earn Chrono Tokens
As a solution, Lady_Eisheth suggested that Marvel Rivals' Chono Tokens should be given to players in small increments after every match, rewarding gamers who play for long periods of time. Many people in the comments agreed, even stating that school or work keeps them from logging in daily, but that they play for long hours on days off. Meanwhile, some players disagreed, stating the need for NetEase Games to encourage daily engagement to maintain an active playerbase.
A few gamers were also quick to compare the battle pass progression in Marvel Rivals to other titles. For instance, some fans noted that Fortnite buffed XP gains throughout Chapter 6 Season 1 in order to help players complete its battle pass. While NetEase Games hasn't commented on its future plans for battle passes, many people are hopeful that the developer is paying attention to feedback from its community.
