Allow players to change the active season to past seasons

  • A good example would be what Deep Rock Galactic has done with seasons and allowing players to change which season is active at any given time. This would allow players to earn past rewards while also allowing players to purchase past season passes which I think would benefit everyone. If this is implemented I personally think it should be in a way that any previously purchased pass won't have to be purchase again by an individual who didn't finish the season when it was originally released, as well as giving the player the ability to continue from their last saved progress

  • This is an interesting idea and I could get behind it! Although previous seasonal cosmetics are always re-released to the gold shop, a few seasons in the future, so I don't know if this is necessary.

  • @valor-omega I took this into consideration when i made the post. Yes it would effect the cosmetics going into the shop as far as the prices for cosmetics in doubloons go, but they are always unreasonably priced to acquire a whole set. The suggestion to change the season allows players to acquire these items at reasonable lengths while also leaving an opening for rare to continue to make profit off of old seasons. Idk, feels like a win-win to me
    Edit: they could even leave the doubloon cosmetics in seeing how it would be more of payment for the convenience rather than having to change season if you only want one item

  • This game has so much good lore that it really hurts to have no way to replay it or even see it again. I wonder if after 10 years they'll do a SoT Classic, like WoW classic, but starting from the beginning of the lore again.

  • I think having access to previous seasons would be a good thing. It would take away from the time-limit cosmetics so maybe just don't give access to the plunder pass items and have an option to work towards previous season's basic 1-100 levels

  • I assumed the time limit is there to keep players engaged by using the fear of loss/ "now or never" sales technique as a motivator (i.e. "if you don't play the game now you'll never get..."). If players can backtrack to earlier seasons, there's no fear of loss as they can always catch up later. If "now" is the only time they can get certain rewards, they have to play "now". Then when next season ,comes along there are more things they can only get "now" so they have to keep playing.

  • They are constantly bringing to Outpost shops the cosmetics from the past seasons, so if you haven't played them, you are able to buy them using the doubloons you earn by selling tomes, reaper chests and completing commendations.

  • Rock and stone!

    I'm not sure this is possible, I guess the plunder pass could be changed but not the server instance with all the relevant changes at that time of the build version.
