The developers of Where Winds Meet have released a new Battle Pass. There is now criticism from the community saying that the associated skin is not attractive.
What does the Battle Pass offer? The developers of Where Winds Meet have released a new Battle Pass in line with the first major update of the game. It has 80 tiers, each in both free and paid paths. Both paths contain in-game items that help in character development.
Furthermore, all buyers of the Battle Pass receive some advantages in the game. They can access certain vendors and buy items there even if they are not on site. The purchase of the Battle Pass also slightly increases the player’s inventory.
Additionally, all purchasers of the Battle Pass also receive an extra slot for medicine in the game and need 10 ambition points less as requirements for various activities in the game. Every Battle Pass in Where Winds Meet also comes with a skin, but this time it has caused some trouble.

A divisive skin
What bothers players about the skin? The new skin that comes with the Battle Pass is seen as unattractive by many players on Reddit. While the outfit looks acceptable on female characters, many owners of male characters feel neglected.
As Reddit user Vamp-go-brr writes: “The female version looks great, I don’t understand why they didn’t simply change the gender instead of … designing this super average outfit. When you take the hat off, you become an NPC, lol.”
In the comments, many users express that they are skipping this Battle Pass and waiting for the next one, hoping it will look better than this one.
Other players, however, want to support the developers. Reddit user hovsep56 states: “I buy the BP just to support the developers. I didn’t like the previous skin either.”

How does Where Winds Meet fund itself? While anyone can play Where Winds Meet for free on PC, PS5, or now even on mobile, the developers’ business model is entirely based on skins that are sold. Thus, the developers of Where Winds Meet have filled the in-game shop since the beginning.
The Battle Pass, which through the monthly billing and features that provide slight advantages, almost resembles a subscription model, also contributes to covering costs. The game is also already running in China alongside the western version, which means upcoming updates are already in development and only need translation, keeping costs lower in the West.
Where Winds Meet may not have pleased all players with the new skin. At the same time, the shop offers many, sometimes inexpensive outfits that players can buy when they want to change their appearance.
