Yeah, they specifically extended sign ups into the test itself, so they're probably still picking people

Honestly, the special skin in the full game being unlocked at level 20 is kind of a harsh ask for a network test that's up for 5 days. Like, a season pass like this is more reasonable over an actual season, like a month or two, but that's a LOT of game to play in less than a week.

You get a stamp for playing one ranked match and a skin for the OG Gundam by hitting 20 that transfer into the full release. That's it. Everything else in the NT season pass is limited to the test.

This is something that puzzles me because a lot of the high power flagship suits have these super jacked abilities that don't translate well to tight corridors and killboxes.

The Double X's twin satellite cannon would literally melt the whole stage. Are we just going to let it blast straight through all obstacles? (Didn't Hanzo do this in OW?)

I mean, hell, you can already see them struggling against this with Moonlight Butterfly

Yeah, their takeaway is that they as the developers failed to get across that they were intended to be counters because they felt bad in general to use so players did not use them very often and did not get a sense of their purpose.

I know that the build here has the exact same balance as the PC test, but I'm curious to see how much the play experience will differ by just player adaptation. Will we see more Turn As and Marasais now that we know that they're intended as melee counters, regardless of their actual efficacy?

I'm still waiting to see if the season pass system has a paid tier. I think with such short seasons, it wouldn't be worth it, right?

Also if they're going to be releasing new units on the cash shop, there's a lot of people who would pay up for SEED suits, at least in Japan.

There's a free pass, and two upper levels, Premium and Premium+

Premium:
Unlock Premium Pass rewards.

You will receive all of the Premium Pass rewards corresponding to the Season Pass Level you've reached at the time of your upgrade. (For example, if you're at Season Pass Level 10 at the time of purchase, you'll receive all Premium Pass rewards up to Level 10.)

If you're below Player Level 20, Ranked Match will be unlocked only during your Premium Pass period.


Premium+:
Unlock Premium Pass rewards.

Adds 20 levels to your Season Pass Level, and receive all of the Premium Pass rewards corresponding to that Season Pass Level. You will also receive any Standard Pass rewards you've yet to obtain. Season Pass EXP starts at 0. (For example, if you're at Season Pass Level 10 at the time of purchase, you will jump to Season Pass Level 30 at 0 EXP and receive all Premium Pass rewards up to Level 30, as well as all unobtained Standard Pass rewards.)

If you're below Player Level 20, Ranked Match will be unlocked only during your Premium Pass period.

Looks like Premium+ is just an additional 20 level boost

The pass upgrades are bought with EVO coins, so depending on how much they pay out, you could potentially get a premium for free.

Yeah, how I feel about the monetization systems really depends on how many EVO coins you can get playing free.
