Summary
- Fans upset with Marvel Rivals' decision to reset Chrono Tokens each season.
- Players are divided on whether Chrono Tokens should carry over between seasons, highlighting different opinions within the community.
- Some gamers feel that using Chrono Tokens instead of traditional XP for battle pass progression was a mistake by NetEase Games.
Marvel Rivals fans took to social media to express disappointment with NetEase Games' decision to have Chrono Tokens reset at the end of every season. There are currently three currencies within Marvel Rivals: Lattice, Chrono Tokens, and Units. While Lattice and Units are used to purchase cosmetics, Chrono Tokens are exclusively used to progress through the seasonal battle pass.
While the hero shooter has largely been a success, some fans have had issues with the use of Chrono Tokens and limited battle pass progression in Marvel Rivals since the game's launch. Chrono Tokens are earned by completing daily challenges, seasonal challenges, and event challenges. While the game provides a steady feed of tokens, fans have been disappointed that they're the only way to progress the battle pass. Many gamers feel as if there should be some kind of progression that comes from participating in matches, similar to the way Fortnite rewards players with XP just for playing the game. Now, players are learning that Chrono Tokens have yet another drawback.

Crimson_V- went to Reddit to express disappointment with NetEase Games' clarification that surplus Chrono Tokens earned in Season 0 won't carry over to Season 1. In a recent post on the Marvel Rivals Twitter account, the developer addressed the notion of Chrono Tokens carrying over to new seasons. NetEase Games decided that paid Chrono Tokens would persist across seasons, but currency earned through challenges would be reset at the end of each season. Fans seem divided on the issue, with many expressing that they should be rewarded in some way for continuing to complete challenges throughout the season, while others feel it's reasonable to reset Chrono Tokens to incentive players to engage with new seasons. This isn't the first time the community has been split, as players were recently divided over the implementation of a surrender option in Marvel Rivals.
Chrono Tokens Won’t Carry Over Between Seasons in Marvel Rivals
Some players feel NetEase Games made a mistake when deciding to use Chrono Tokens instead of traditional XP to level up the battle pass. One redditor noted that few people expect XP to carry over from season to season, but since Chrono Tokens are a currency, it's reasonable for players to expect that they'll persist. NetEase Games has been busy trying to meet the needs of its community, as Marvel Rivals has recently had an influx of cheaters as well. While there's no way to please everyone, many fans are happy with how responsive the developer has been when addressing issues with the game.
While players await the upcoming Season 1, some gamers have been digging through the hero shooter's files for clues about characters coming to the game in the future. One prominent leaker revealed the ability kit for Human Torch in Marvel Rivals, which seems to indicate that the hero will be a ranged Duelist. With so much on the horizon for Marvel Rivals, it seems like many fans are feeling enthusiastic about the game's future.
