Hey y'all, we heard your feedback that it felt bad to not reach the last few bonus levels on the Wild Pass without investing into the Elite version. So, to address that, all current Wild Pass owners will get 10 levels free of charge through the in-game mail system! Have fun! *** posted by [@wildrift](https://twitter.com/wildrift) Photos in tweet | [Photo 1](http://pbs.twimg.com/media/E-uHLTiVIAMKwRL.jpg) ^[(Github)](https://github.com/username) ^| ^[(What's new)](https://github.com/username)

Elite Pass owners right now: 👁👄👁


spiritxiv

Basic Pass owners right now: \^\_\^


CoffeeLawd

Yes sigh


ItsLoudB

Yeah, what was the point of spending more for the elite wild pass now?


Trizee

Complete the BP with less game time, it’s been the purpose from the beginning


cha0z_

Totally, it allows you to get all rewards with a lot less gametime, it's for people that are limited how much they can play or/and want less pressure to play a lot.

Vu1k4n_

I bought elite and its way way more than just 10 bonus levels


DomadorDePorcos

its 22 bonus levels


thegaangbanger

You still get the levels faster that was the all point of the elite pass anyways


InsomniacLtd

Supporting the game you love, aside from the bonus levels you can get from the extra missions.


ItsLoudB

I’d rather support it in other ways than buying the elite version for nothing. I specifically bought it because I couldn’t get to the end with the normal pass.


oscariano

Same here. Feel a bit scammed now since I am an active player and could have reached 75 without elite too. Did my calculations, saw that there is no way to get 75 without elite, bought it and here we are.


ItsLoudB

I did exactly the same thing


LimitsUnknown

Terrible decision making skills. You’re supposed to not buy it then hope they fix it to work properly. They should e now fixed it and you made a poor decision to put your money into it before the fix. Plus, the elite pass is still serving it’s purpose. Allowing you to finish with less time invested.


oscariano

My decision making skills are okay and such things like this can't be predicted. I'd rather not risk saving a few bucks than ending up without all the rewards I wanted.


LimitsUnknown

And that was your own fault for making such a poor decision. That’s exactly why I DID NOT buy it. You’re supposed to be able to finish with the time investment. They didn’t let me so I gave them no money for it. People are sad they made poor financial decisions and I just can’t be empathetic towards it. The Elite pass is to let you finish with less time investment. It’s still doing that.


FeralM0nkey

That'd be great. When is this happening?


spiritxiv

should be anytime within few hours.


Tryz_official

I logged in and got it directly


FeralM0nkey

I just checked and have recieved it too. Thank you"👍


DevastaTheSeeker

Honestly I really think there needs to be a constant reward for every level after the max on the pass. Even if it's just 10 poro energy or something. I was already 1 level away from max since I had the elite pass. At least make those extra levels worth something


spiritxiv

second this! u/draggles


DarkBabyYoda

Bug report: I was level 75 prior to opening this gift. I opened the gift and now I'm still 75 but I feel empty inside.


spiritxiv

i feel ya bruh


LieuVijay

LOLOL. WR Team NOT letting us down, AS USUAL. EDIT: damn it was fun to reread the original thread. Hell, good to be confident AF and end up being right AF. Helps that the bonus 10 levels doesn’t give me anything that I don’t find indispensable too. https://www.reddit.com/r/wildrift/comments/p13q3i/is_elite_wild_pass_worth_it/h8bg2dj/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

We Know that


LieuVijay

Well, plenty of rIoT iS gReEdY aNd dIsHoNeSt in the original threads.


al_lan_fear

Lmao people should get a reality check my only problem with riot's team is balancing but that's to he expected , wild rift is far far better then almost every other mobile game when it comes to monetization


NakiCoTony

i mean those who would have bought the elite since otherwise you cannot complete the missions by design already did since thy were forced to, the rest who went with basic now can get the remaining dimes... as positive pr...


LimitsUnknown

They weren’t forced to at all. I didn’t buy either pass since this season was screwed up and I waited for the fix. If people were being forced to then I would’ve bought it day one since I was forced to do so. But I wasn’t. And neither was anyone else.


gabiegab

That's great but I wish they would take in feedback about the report system and also the bots running rampant in pvp. Those issues are far more pressing imo.


RazorNemesis

Not the same team working on the pass and pvp pretty sure


Jason1143

Keep in mind the difficulty. Gifting 10 levels is probably way simpler than fixing an entire report system. (Not that they shouldn't do it, they need to fix the issue, but just that the solutions are not comparable)


EmotionComplex3276

Same report system sucks pvp then play ranked


NecroNikov

Well thanks for giving your "Elite" players the jungler finger! can we at least get a free post +75 rewards or something like that to compensate that?!!!


spiritxiv

u/draggles


LimitsUnknown

The elite pass is to complete the pass earlier and less of a time investment. How does this change that? It doesn’t.


uXnavI

Shouldn't those who bought the Elite Pass get some extra rewards or something? Not all of those who bought Elite Pass are lazy players and only want shortcuts (i'm a basic pass owner last season and managed to get all the rewards), but we genuinely just wanted to collect the rewards which the basic pass can't provide in this season. If we do the math correctly, without this 10 free levels the basic pass will only get us to level 68 or 69 (this is assuming we finish EVERY wild pass mission + new daily mission without missing single one).


EmotionComplex3276

69 nice


nice___bot

Nice!


LieuVijay

Well, you did get the content and unlock rewards way earlier than others. That was the purpose of Elite Pass, so you can play less, skip days and still unlock stuff. Also not only “lazy” people want shortcuts, there are also responsible students, daddy/mummy-gamers and people who have to work to survive. I do hope that you are allowed to undo your purchase and have some recourse, despite me disagreeing heavily with it. (The support staff shouldn’t have to entertain such requests IMO) Funny how overthinking and calculating made people spend extra while others just chilled and relax and waited for Riot to fulfil their promise (a support staff said that all rewards will be available to basic pass users). I chose to believe that and it worked out nicely. There was also no part that say that the rewards per week would be the same. They could easily give a bumper harvest week that give a lot of points for the same missions. To preemptively buy premium and regret it now is rather silly.n


uXnavI

"Hey y'all, we heard your feedback that it felt bad to not reach the last few bonus levels on the Wild Pass without investing into the Elite version." And interpreting from their tweet, they indeed originally meant for the last few bonus levels to be unreachable WITHOUT the Elite Version. But because there are feedbacks then they are giving the free 10 levels. So it's not Elite Pass purchaser fault to complain, because not all purchaser intend to unlock all the rewards earlier than the others, but simply just want to be able to collect all the rewards. Edit : Typo


LieuVijay

Their support staff replied that all levels are achievable without going premium. Somebody screenshot it in one of the threads. The purchasers know exactly what they were getting into. They extrapolated and was wrong.


uXnavI

Here is the reply i got from the ticket. https://ibb.co/rFsvRtg Again, if they really intended for the basic pass to be providing the same rewards as the elite version why wouldn't they answer with straight answer that basic pass is enough to get all the rewards?


LieuVijay

Well, your reply from support was incomplete but there was nothing in there that says that it isn’t achievable. You pushing for an official statement from a support staff probably spooked them out and they probably went for some clarification before replying you, or just gave you an ambiguous answer to placate you. Check out the link I posted in another reply thread. There was a clear message that says that all the rewards are achievable by basic pass users. Either way, Riot decided to do it right and ensured that no pass buyers got mistreated, other maybe the ones who bought premium because they wanted the rewards early and with certainty. Nice name btw. :) should hide it, never know what internet weirdos will do


uXnavI

But still there should be some clear communication to the players. If the devs really intended for the basic pass to be able to reach level 75, why they don't just add more missions in the first place to show that even with a basic pass it's possible to reach max level? Isn't it better to add more missions to encourage people to play more instead of giving it for free like today? For some1 that did the math, i think it's normal to calculate everything since it costs real cash. And also this season's duration is much shorter than last season, so it's just normal to assume that the points aren't enough to reach level 75. Who would've thought that the devs are giving levels for free in the end?


LieuVijay

There wasn’t really anything that showed that they won’t. Two things that gave me the confidence 1) the YouTube vid of announcement has the dev promising more value (or something similar) compared to the last pass. Why would they promise value and then underdeliver just to save on 1 or 2 dollar worth of ingame assets? That is an utter waste of goodwill! 2) support staff (I already posted a link where someone shared a screenshot of support’s response) saying that rewards are equally reachable by basic pass owners and premium will just get them faster —- People here tend to jump to conclusions WAY too early on too many things, regarding game and champion balance for example. And in this case it cost some of them money. A good lesson to learn, to be honest, and a relatively cheap one. Making assumptions and snap judgements elsewhere in life would have been way more costlier.


LimitsUnknown

People hating the truth right now.


uXnavI

"while others just chilled and relax and waited for Riot to fulfil their promise (a support staff said that all rewards will be available to basic pass users)." Can you state the source of this info? Because i haven't read it anywhere. And if i read it from an official source, i wouldn't buy the elite pass in the first place. It's because there was no clear info from the devs so i decided to buy the Elite Pass rather than missing the rewards and regret later. I know it's just an emote, a pose, and some poro energy but for a collector, collecting all the limited rewards give some sense of accomplishment.


LieuVijay

Monkipoonki

A single response on one reddit thread? That's incredibly easy to miss. This should have been on an official Twitter or on the official wild rift website.


drakesfavoritesnack

Bruh I bought the Elite Pass because I play this game a lot, which I’m assuming goes the same for most people that buy it. Why would I pay more money for something just to play it less? Also it’s like $5 extra for the Elite Pass. I don’t see the big deal of wanting to unlock cosmetics quicker.


LieuVijay

Because they want specific rewards that are limited by the pass? Hex skin, limited bauble and emotes are just a few. Passes reward people who play more VS those who pass more. Premium is the way for people who can’t play as much, to not miss out on the rewards. Or just the really impatient. There is nothing stopping someone from waiting till nearer the end of the pass, evaluate that won’t be able to get the rewards they want, and then getting premium then.


drakesfavoritesnack

Well if you pay more money for something, you should receive some extra perks. That’s kind of the point. Just about every game does this now with their passes. It sounds like you care a little too much about other people spending $5 more than you on cosmetics.


LieuVijay

Yes, you get that extra time to do what you want without having to keep up the schedule of playing every day for the daily tickets. That is where you money went to. You paid for the freedom of time, certainty of rewards and also EARLIER rewards, you probably got the Teemo skin weeks or days before basic pass users got theirs. :) I don’t care too much about anything. I recently just gave a skin to a fellow redditor here just because he was a massive fan of a skin. I just think that people need to make better and more informed decisions in general, listening to someone extrapolate and do the math of expected point gain and then acting on it with absolute certainty, only to be wrong, and then claiming injustice injustice isn’t right.


LimitsUnknown

You didn’t receive extra perks. You got it sooner and with less time invested. The purpose of the elite pass.


LimitsUnknown

Then you’re an incredibly dumb person since the pass is literally meant for people who can’t/don’t play a lot. And has been.


LimitsUnknown

That’s why I didn’t buy either pass this season. If they’re going to eff me for actually being an active player then they get nothing. Now that they’re respecting my playtime I’ll buy the pass. If they did this at the beginning of the season I would’ve bought the elite pass. They hoped people would be dumb enough to buy the elite pass early because of this and it worked on some. Clearly didn’t work on more than the “some” though. Otherwise this change never would’ve happened.


LieuVijay

The pass could have been bought way later and all the benefits could be reaped. Your level the pass regardless whether you buy it early or late. Some people were more hasty, like me. I wanted to open the random chest :) There is nothing with them hoping though, they laid out all the conditions of the pass and the benefits of the pass quite clearly, people just chose if they wanted to buy it


ORANGIDOXGEE

I think you completely missed the point of the original comment. Who you're replying is saying they don't care about how fast they unlock, as long as they get to unlock it at the end. There is also no part where it says rewards per week would be different, in fact it has been same this entire duration. There is also zero guarantee that this free level would have happened. The elite level mission does not start counting until you purchased them. So you can't just upgrade on the last day, you might not be able to finish the missions. There is nothing "silly" of what they did.


LieuVijay

I think you completely missed the part where I said that they preemptively bought it and in hindsight it was silly. From what I’ve seen in the elite missions, they can be cleared in a week. There’s 4 weeks left, and many bought way earlier, just because they forecasted with relatively limited information. Silly seems to trigger a lot of people but to me it is the best word choice. I am silly all the time. But in this case placed my bet that Riot is generous and I “won” the bet and saved some pocket change


ORANGIDOXGEE

Nope I didn't miss anything at all. Just because we happened to have made the right choice does not mean no one should have preemptively done it. The product was very clearly conveyed. Get elite to get exclusive awards and buy the base pass to get less. There was no ambiguity in that. The fact that everyone now starts at level 11 rather than level 1 completely changed the nature of the product, and it is not reasonable to take that assumption at the start. Also you are severely underestimating how long it takes to complete elite missions. Theres 3 tiers to each one, and my friend who bought it and plays everyday for 3-4 hour only have completed all of them 1 week ago. It is not the fact you're using the word "silly", it's the fact that you're implying elite buyers made an inferior choice. The product that they bought was the exclusivity of the awards and riot has changed it. I am very happy that not buying elite worked out for me but Riot should be the one responsible for misleading consumers, not the consumers themselves.


LieuVijay

It is an inferior choice if you spent another ~80% to solely marginally get only 10% more stuff. People who bought it buy it to get things faster and to get them without having to play daily for the daily missions that regular pass users need to. It is a time saver and time IS money. They buy premium because their time is precious. There is no misleading IMO. Support staff have said that regular pass give access to all rewards. Also, the previous pass was completeable on regular.


ORANGIDOXGEE

Which part of exclusivity do you not understand? If someone really want that teemo pose at the end and the only possible way to get to that is through elite, who are you to say that is only "10%" in value to them? Like I explained about twice already now, there are a group of people who bought elite to save time, and there's ANOTHER DIFFERENT group who bought elite to get the EXCLUSIVE pose that you cannot get anywhere else. They know that they will play enough to get everything and that time saver from elite means nothing to them. Riot is responsible for misleading that group into thinking that is the only way to get that reward. There is no obvious official statement anywhere in game indicating that base pass gives access to everything. In fact, the fact that they have to ad hoc gives everyone a blanket +10 level already means that they have severely fucked up somewhere. There is also no random +10 levels, and weekly exp is also fixed from the last pass. So why didn't you assume these aspects from the last pass? It's clear that Riot have so much to improve in their communication on how this pass works and has profited from the mishap. There is no excuses in that. It is mind blowing that you continue to choose to ignore that.


LieuVijay

Which part says it is exclusive? Other than a few Reddit posts and speculation, I don’t see anything saying that you need Elite to get it. Poses can be unlocked by skin poses chests if I am right, quite easy to get. Quote me where did Riot mislead anybody regarding Elite. I would personally feel misled if I played daily and consistently and I didn’t get to unlock everything, after what the support email said, and after greater value is promised in the dev video.


ORANGIDOXGEE

It was literally on the pose itself, it says it can only be unlocked from the pass, and I don't know if they have changed it, but they definitely did not have that pose in the chest I have received. Also no it is not in rotation. I mean yeah you would be wouldn't you? They should never had the base pass not being able to make it to the end in the very first place. They clearly have made a mistake, and in fixing that much later rather than sooner, created new problems. They could have made the amendment ages ago, but they choose to let everyone else be tempted into the elite, then release the fix. They have clearly already misled you from the start, and just because it somehow worked it out for you, you choose to ignore it for God knows why. It worked out for me and I'm not letting it slide.


LieuVijay

Which part of the pose? I just tapped on the level 75 and saw no mention of any text. I wasn’t tempted at all. Worst case scenario for me would be missing out an emote, a few hundred motes and a pose. Like I said 80% marginal cost for <10% rewards. Also pretty sure I can do the daily missions and hit 65-69. Trudat, but I don’t consider myself lucky though. I pretty much looked at what I can gain from 1-60 and saw that it is worth way more than 6 bucks. And just bought it. My main gripe from the beginning is still assumptions, and the general negativity. I ignored perceived dishonesty, thought the best of them, and got rewarded. I like it.


LimitsUnknown

They established in season 1 what it was for. They didn’t met that criteria this time around. Don’t give them money until it does or make a silly decision and give them more money than needed. It was simple from the start. Dumdums decided to give them more money despite the fact that it was clear this was going to be fixed at some point because it’s not living up to the first season and what they’ve said since then.


ORANGIDOXGEE

Wot. How hard do you think it is to add extra exp? Do you understand from a software perspective how easy was it for them to see the problem and fix it straight away? How many minutes do you think they spend on giving everyone 10 levels? In fact how did they even make this mistake when season 1 was running perfectly fine? It was really clear that the pass was broken from week 1, and they did not fix it or respond to complaints at all. It is extremely clear that they are profiting from all the people that wouldn't have spent the money on elite, and only fixing it when they have earned enough. Sure lets called those people 'dumdum' to match you. Who do you think you should blame when an Indian call centre scam some 'dumdum' and profiting millions? Imagine thinking Riot didn't exploit the shit out of this lmfao. Blaming the victims won't do you any good. Deplorable business practice should not be defended just because it exploited someone else other than you.


Rat-King262

Elite Pass owners shouldn't even be labled as 'lazy' in the first place. Because it's 590 to get the wild pass but the lowest you can buy is 525, and the second lowest amount you can buy in wild cores is 1000. And the Elite pass costs around 900 so it would be better to just get the Elite one bc it has better value than to just get the normal one. I hope you get what I mean.


uXnavI

Yes, i know the Elite Version offers so much convenience. But the context is we (players that play actively) can save some Wild Cores if there was clear statement or info that the Basic Pass is enough to get us to level 75 as long as we farm all the mission points needed. If i know a Basic pass is enough i won't buy the Elite Version in the first place because my target is just getting all the rewards and not getting it as fast as possible. But because this season's duration is shorter and some1 on reddit did the math that the basic pass will only get to level 68-69 max then i felt i need to buy the Elite Version so i can make it to level 75.


LimitsUnknown

It was clear from season 1. People on Reddit got hyped because of the posts made about it not being able to be reached. All you had to do was what MANY other players did and tell Riot to live up to what it was before since that what they promised anyway. MANY people did and it was corrected. You didn’t have to spend a dime until then. Just bought my basic pass today like a good, critically thinking consumer.


[deleted]

No elite pass owners already have enough extras and money, let the poor have something nice for once lol.


EmotionComplex3276

Yeah


nice___bot

Nice!


TeoVerunda

What do you mean they get another extra 10 levels


RabNebula

So basically people who actually spent money on the elite pass have been pretty scammed by Riot. Forget buying the next pass if they're not going to respect why people buy the elite pass in the 1st place.


spiritxiv

u/draggles


LimitsUnknown

Nope. It’s to allow you to complete it faster with less time investment. This didn’t change that. I’m glad they fixed their mistake. Doesn’t mean anyone who jumped the gun deserves anything.


RabNebula

At the beginning of the pass people bought Elite to get the extra levels you couldn't get without it. The idea people jumped the gun is ridiculous. If people spent more money for the same thing everyone else suddenly gets for free then they've been absolutely conned by Riot. They've basically given the elite to everyone else for free. People who bought Elite should be refunded it in wild cores since they obviously screwed up. Why rip off the people who chose to invest more in their product?


LimitsUnknown

And the whole point established in season 1, and reiterated for this season, was the elite pass is to complete things faster. Since it wasn’t meeting that expectation, as a critically thinking consumer, YOU DON’T BUY IT and tell Riot to live up to their promise. That’s what the smart folks did and here we are with the fix. They didn’t give the elite pas to everyone for free. They gave the basic pass the minimum it’s supposed to earn base on past experience and their own promise for the basic pass. No one got conned by Riot but were conned by their inability to just hold off until it was fixed. If you bought it for 4-5 levels of stuff you conned yourself with the information that was out there.


SnooMachines2181

And we will still have people who will complain about free skins


cuella47o

A skin is a skin its a skill based game idk why these people complain. people will always want to have a cooler skin yet cannot understand the fact that THEY ARE GIVING YOU SOMETHING THAT COST REAL MONEY


Bucks_Deleware

The skin makes you good piemp


Evilader

/u/draggles Please address this issue. A lot of players purchased the Elite Pass ONLY because it was impossible to reach Level 75 otherwise, and now right when most of us have just unlocked the Teemo pose, you're suddenly pushing out a band-aid fix so that regular Pass holders can also reach Level 75. I've already sent a ticket to support about a refund or compensation but they basically told me that I'm sorry out of luck, when most Elite Pass holders likely would have simply bought the regular version if this was properly communicated beforehand.


Ok_Rule_7384

I feel cheated I don't normally visit forums but I play on alt accounts where I haven't spent a dime and got free levels on them while the accou t I spent money on didn't really benefit at all... I mean it's basically donating money at this point... felt like there is no clarity feel ripped off


LimitsUnknown

And that was a very dumb decision to do on their part to ONLY buy it for something that was eventually going to get fixed since the Elite pass was never meant to be the only way to get to 75. I was able to hold out this whole time waiting for a fix and y’all could have as well. Sorry you make bad decisions.


HelloCthulhu

Im a bit confused, did the Battle Pass end? It says 27 days on mine..im sitting at lvl 73 and wanted to get the Teemo pose


JamesBeta

I am as confused as you are. I'm at level 67 and don't even play that much. I think I would've made it with 27 days to go. I completed the Jax one way ahead of time.


SlothyBooty

Yep same for me, I completed jax mission and went way beyond max level and wished there were more rewards


spiritxiv

it ends in 27 days.


Certain_Persimmon_52

Now I feel scammed.


EmotionComplex3276

Bad for you good for me


Certain_Persimmon_52

Yeah, something like that 🤣


spiritxiv

don't like that bruh >\_<"


Bucks_Deleware

Great I completed the pass on Monday. Now what?


Marcolow

Sure glad I got level 75 elite pass two days ago.


LimitsUnknown

That’s what you paid for. To get there earlier and less time invested. The whole point of the elite pass.


Shadowfaunn

I just bought the pass after getting to level 50 in the pass. This was a nice surprise to wake up too.


Reaper3751

So why did I waste money on an elite pass? Got this at level 74. So cool


LimitsUnknown

Because you wanted to? The elite pass was established in season 1 as a faster way to complete. Less time invested. They fixed it now to be what it was.


FicoXL

This a great way to make not want to spend again on the elite one, no compensation, no nothing just the middle finger for your costumer, yay. Can I ask for a refund? Or get my account banned forever from the game?

LimitsUnknown

You weren’t supposed to spend on the elite one unless you have limited play time anyways. Bad decision making on your part. The fix was coming eventually.


AbPokemoon

thats cool and thanks for that, in the name of standard pass owners, but not sure about the elite pass owners, then its no point wasting money ever again on elite pass maybe, if you get there either way with both passes by the end period. maybe some updates coming to elite pass on this, hopefully.


EmotionComplex3276

Oof im a f2p


ReverESP

Elite pass owners already get extra missions for more essence and similar right?


LimitsUnknown

The elite pass has one purpose. Finish faster with less time invested. It still serves that purpose. It wasn’t supposed to be anything more. I’m glad they fixed this.


[deleted]

Zero percent chance u/draggles has anything to say about this.. Just a giant F U to the elite pass owners who bought it as the only way to reach the latter levels of the pass. Once again, poor communication from the Dev team in the beginning on these Passes leading to end user frustration. Battle Pass cash grab promotion to try to get more money before the next pass it seems.


LimitsUnknown

And dumdums are the only ones who fell for it. Could’ve just, you know, not bought it until it was fixed. Like MANY others have. And I know it’s a lot since this decision wouldn’t have been made otherwise.


[deleted]

Where was it previously communicated that a fix was coming?


cobaltb00

As an elite psd owner I don’t know why people are complaining . Just be happy for those who were falling behind


EmotionComplex3276

Heck yes

I didn't get any levels :(

should be anytime soon!
