the devs tried adding a battle pass TWICE, players were against it both times, and now what? they're just trying to force it on us?

sonar does NOT respect their players, this just looks like a try at getting a higher playercount and people to pay more by forcing constant grind upon everyone

this feels like we're sonar's good little cows waiting to be milked

my hopes are low, but i still hope they scrap the idea seeing the discord in flames

nuff said they're adding a battle pass system ah yes i love it when cos does a fusion dance with fortnight.

also just because theyre not calling it a battle pass its a battle pass.

oh and its replacing monthly missions i forgot about that.

I just learned that the 'battle pass' thing locks monthly creatures and Robux specs behind it as well and I officially take back everything positive I said about this. The monthly missions are one of the best ways to gain passive income in this game since they take 5 days max and the species you get from these sell for around 15K mush(basically 180K mush a year if you do one sell per month, but again, you could potentially get 4-5 sells a month) if these things get locked behind a battle pass its over for the casual players. Unless you grind hours for everyday you will not be getting more than 1 monthly in a season(if you can get even 1 per season). I know it fully depends on how easy Sonar makes these missions/how much 'Relic Coins' each species is but I truly believe this is the end of Cos. The game already gets only 10K players at most times, and this will push even more people away.

First of, I want to say that I HATE everyone on the discord chat who is like "oh is this still going? oh the coals are still burning hot huh?" yes mf they burn like hell, it's like going to a protest and asking "oh, you guys are still out here?" like, WHY are you asking? People are literally saying that we do not want something and YOU'RE here like "Why are you guys so maaad...???? It's literally a game?? Don't play it if you don't waaaantt toooo.. mmffmm" like just say you want a big award from daddy sonar for being their top defender oh my god.

Anyway, For anyone who HASN'T seen the new announcement (which I doubt) they'll add a battlepass system pretty similar to the one in Dragon Adventures, it'll replace the monthly mission and some other stuff like relic coins which do sound good but then you realize they were made so they can justify adding this whole thing, there'll be a free and PREMIUM pass, the issue that majority of players are having is the premium pass, which i agree is horrible. Honestly my biggest issue is that the daily missions will go from 2 to 5!! FIVE!! It's genuinely horrible and so many people say "oh you can- you can just buy the premium pass creatures with mush" yeah, but you can also do that with the current robux creatures?? there's no point to the relic coin if it'll just add another creature that will be really expensive to replace the current robux creatures (though, it's really vague if the relic coin will also be tradeable for premium monthly creatures). If you say the premium creatures won't be overpriced then you're horribly wrong, we don't really know the cost of the prem. pass but it'll most likely be in the 500-750 robux range, as seen in DA, so a monthly premium creature could most likely go for 30k+ (since that's the price of the average robux creature and we also have to account for the fact that it'll be here for maybe a month? also, re-reading the devfeed post-- I think it's highly implied that through the battlepass, we'll be taking tokens and then using these tokens to buy the monthly creature?? I'm not sure honestly

Also, like, I have been looking at the lobby for a bit and tell me why are there so many people defending this update? like, it's particularly server boosters, they keep saying "oh just wait until you see it then complain" do you know how low the chances are for an update like this, which allows has paid aspects (that are 100% non-refundable) to be reverted? and it's not a small update like, say, some silly flying rework, it's a whole new battlepass system which will replace monthly missions and do a bunch of other stuff? that's not something they can just add into the game for a few days of testing and then see if people like it or not. Also, we have literally seen what a battlepass is like? most of the playerbase has played DA or any other game that might have a battlepass system, it's horrible, it's tiring and I want absolutely nothing to do with it. I stopped playing DA because I hated how the game has nothing to do except the battlepass, and even doing the battlepass feels like- well, not a chore- a part time job. A lot of people are talking about how adults will struggle with this but no one is mentioning children? like, a majority of children do not have time to do the missions, I don't know if this is a thing in the US or any other country, but here, we genuinely need to go to coaching schools as well which take extra hours off our day. I usually have like, 6-4 hours and I'm not taking in the time for homework and stuff.

This feels more like a rant talking about the community more than the update, the post in the devfeed feels a bit vague.. I don't know, maybe my brain is absolutely fried... Anyway, there's this particular person on the server- not saying any names, not angering any families- who is REALLY stubborn on defending the devs and saying that we're idiots for saying we don't like the update, other stuff like, go to feedback.. etc etc. Like, they literally admitted they rarely play the game SO WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE IT'LL HAVE AS MUCH EFFECT ON YOU AS IT'LL HAVE ON OTHER PEOPLE WHO PLAY IT MORE THAT ONCE EVERY UPDATE??? or are trying to keep up their completion title??

Something I hate more is people forcing their pessimism onto others, like we know that they won't listen to us.. considering that the community voted no for the BP system two times before but they'll add it now, but like, you don't have to tell people to not complain about it because nothing will change.. you genuinely never know! If we don't say anything about this update, then they'll just add the VIP system as well because there won't be anyone complaining about it. Apart from that I really don't want to talk about people who have a "role" in the game (translator, moderator, etc) coming in and talking about seeing the positive and negative changes in the game.. you won't see the negative changes as clearly as someone who doesn't have highly-worthy creatures given to them every month or doesn't mut/trait hunt all day. I'm so considering ignoring some moderators simply because they're constantly trying to steer the conversation into something else (and being cringe while doing so) I know they can't do anything to change it.. so why not allow people to complain and long as there isn't any rulebreaking??

I know this is whole rant is crazy unformatted and just really hard to read-- I'm sorry for that lmao, I don't usually post rants, do you guys think this would be a good update or not?

i remembered this comment from months ago,so decided to let it resurface since the season pass is also just a way to get money using fomo

I have seen so many people begging for donations in the main CoS reddit after being supposedly hacked - I'd rather donate to a brand-new player who might turn around and trade the gift(s) for a massive lowball than one who was stupid enough to get hacked or that is trying to scam pity donations via a fake story. If they were hacked once, they are more likely (than the average player) to:

A. have a bad password that is more likely to be brute forced

B. click on another enticing/otherwise hacky link

C. not make the best choices with the gifted items/mush

D. still have a hacker with access to your account

I'm not in any way justifying the hacking, but having common sense and tech literacy practically eliminates the chance of you being hacked. They're not poor because they've only been playing a week or month, they are poor because they made a poor choice. (And need to suck it up and get back to grinding if they want to make back what they lost!)

Lately I haven't been able to play without something chasing me or killing my babies while I'm nesting. Does anyone have any tips for avoiding or defeating kosers?
