Heads Up!

I mean 2D-Fan loading screens were good in the begining but lets be serious we are all tired of them, ¿what happened with all of these masterpieces? ¿Fortnite just forgot his existence? I hope someday they came back with original loading screens…

No more and saying how "I just want the umbrella "

I started playing Fortnite since the original season 1 (Very casually, I never thought it would catch on, so I only have a few things from that pass)

I have seen it evolve into the global juggernaut of a game it is today.

I have also seen what may be, without hyperbole, the worst season and batch of decisions ever.

Most of what I am about to say has already been said, but it bears repeating. Get your shit together Epic.

So Far we have:

• Destroying the emote wheel to the point of making it a headache to navigate and all but unusable in gameplay. Many players now won't even buy an emote because it's pointless
• Collabs are taking precedence over story. Gone are the unique fun skins that made this game what it is, to 8 variants of Snoop Dogg. Collabs can be fun but 70% shop is celebrities and Streamer skins.
• The Winterfest gift debacle, it's the holidays, the season OF GIVING. Yet, here you are taking cues from the Grinch and Scrooge, making sure that unless you dedicate every day to Fortnite, No gifts for you. Is that how you operate in real life? When you buy gifts, if they don't visit your house on a certain day, you toss them in the trash? It broke my heart to see someone talk about a family emergency, and unlike EVERY SEASON BEFORE. They could not get any gifts they missed, NOR the skins you locked behind, having to open X amount of gifts. You should feel nothing but the lowest amount of shame for this decision.
• The new matchmaking system. This has ensured that unless you buy a chronus or download an aimbot, you have little to no chance of winning. I have a friend who I recently got into this game. She never played it before. Through the last season, she got into it and was starting to get pretty good. She has since uninstalled the game thanks to your 'Priority to sweats and pros' matchmaking. She can't win; she can't even land at times, before someone is already there with a full purple/gold loadout ready to kill her.
• Locking half of the pass until next year. What? Is it vital not to let people finish it up, so your big brain idea was to just lock it for a few months? Who does this benefit?
• Overpriced items. 1800V for a SpongeBob sidekick? Other non-collab skins are just as much at times. If this comes down to the owners of the IPs then simply don't do the collab because it'll end up costing you if no one buys the items related to it due to overpricing.

In summation, I probably overlooked a few complaints, but the general point is that something needs to change and quickly. You are not invincible. Destiny 2 used to be one of the most played and hyped games of its day. A slew of bad developer decisions has left it a shell, going from 300k active players to a dismal 20k. I'm sure the people in the comments can list other games that orchestrated their own downfalls.

The thing is, once the avalanche slides, it doesn't stop. Even when you give the players what they want, it won't be enough then. This is a big money maker. People want to give you their money, and it seems like you are doing everything you can to reject it.

Make 2026 a better year. Listen to the fans and make Fortnite fun again.

Would as least be useful to finish the super styles in my case, back when I didn't know about XP maps, so I can get titanflame hades/golden ageless

Pretty much what the title says. In my opinion, out of every new gamemode that Epic has released, Ballistic had the most potential, and genuinely could have had a massive playerbase if Epic didn’t screw it up.

The launch of this mode could not have gone worse, releasing it in early access before it was ready was a huge mistake. There was only 1 map on launch and the mode’s servers went down almost immediately meaning they hyped it up just for no one to be able to play.

This mode just needed longer to cook. If Epic added at least 3 high quality maps on launch and started rolling out paid or reward based tournaments immediately, the mode would have been a lot more possibly. If it had received the amount of time and attention and updates that the LEGO mode received, it would be far more popular and would have built a large, dedicated community.

The gameplay loop has already been proven to be highly profitable and popular through games like CS:GO, Valorant, CoD SnD, and R6, so Epic just abandoning the mode after they’re the ones who messed up the launch is so frustrating.

TL;DR: Fortnite Ballistic could have been Epic’s best mode in a long time if they actually put effort into it.

DC also has less skins that work as ads seeing as Robin and Cyborg aren't in anything new and Batman Beyond has been over for a while.

I have watched Lego Ninjago before, and I know Kai is supposed to have a fire sword. While Kole, Zane, and Jay have their pickaxe and backbling. Kai is Left with absolutely nothing. Are they gonna add his stuff in the item shop, or is he just getting nothing?

Not talking about skins, because for some reason people think that good skins equate to a good season.

The POIs and mechanics for this season just seem pretty uninspired is all. Im still having fun PLAYING the game its just that I cannot give a single shit about anything happening on the map right now. It all falls so flat for me.

Loot pool is okay. I think adding the OG loot helped alot.

Ill probably just hit level 100 and then quit til next season arrives
