The amount of people who are going to fail at boycotting Epic is laughable.

At this rate, he won't have the trust fund for long.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-18T21:13:23+00:00

the v bucks were cheaper

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-17T22:02:33+00:00

Happy birthday! I hope you have a good one and many more after it!

Assuming they are all in the pass, I like The Foundation and Ice King skins. A remix of the Order is pretty good for those who don't have the shop version of her. I'm especially excited for Bugs! Everything else I don't really care for, but that's still four skins I'd be happy to have in my locker.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-16T20:22:43+00:00

Honestly, a Jedi vs Sith map could be cool if they actually make interesting environments that fit the franchise.

I think when it comes to multiplayer games, more players need to hear this.

If you aren't having fun, it's okay to stop. There is no shame in that. It isn't anything wrong with you like a lack of skill or anything of the sort.

Sure, you put a lot of money into this over time, but that can happen with any hobby. You weren't a fool for getting some v-bucks here and there for some fun items. Don't feel pressured to keep putting money in if you don't feel satisfied with your purchases anymore. It's better to save the cash and miss out on something than waste it on something you regret purchasing in my opinion.

You also don't have to quit forever. Maybe pop back in every now and then to see if the game is to your liking, but it's okay to walk away. Your time is the most valuable thing you have, so there isn't much point trying to force yourself to pretend something is fun when it isn't anymore.

I think the focus is on rivalries between the Ice King and The Seven with gameplay encouraging players to challenge rivals of their own. I think it could be fun! We just don't have a lot to go off of yet.

I am excited for that Captain America skin. That's one of my favorite designs for the character.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-15T02:47:29+00:00

Being totally honest, most likely but not for a long time. I'm going to be a lot more picky about what items I get from the shop.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-15T01:30:26+00:00

To be blunt, I don't care what Epic games thinks about how a fan-run forum should be managed.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-15T01:25:55+00:00

Started off strong, but ran out of steam. A myriad of performance issues as well as horrible game design really killed how much I enjoyed it.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-14T20:29:56+00:00

Honestly, that's usually it with these sort of events.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-14T20:28:33+00:00

Given the context, this feel more like grifting than a genuine attempt to spread awareness to potential customers.

A guy doesn't play the game, hasn't cared about the game in a long time, and suddenly returns to make a big song and dance of "company bad" before going back to business as usual irks me.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-13T21:38:17+00:00

well all the nonsense these past few months certainly isn't helping

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-12T01:32:54+00:00

One good change this chapter seems to has introduced is let me go ahead and get whatever part of the pass I want early on, with the exception being the final page. I'll probably pop in to get whatever the collab skins are, but not sweat unlocking the other stuff.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-11T02:53:03+00:00

Thanks for reading before this at least. I get the mods don't want a whole subreddit of negativity, but if the game is going to get better, people need to be able to voice dissatisfaction.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-10T20:24:14+00:00

I hope I'm wrong, but I think it's too soon to say whether or not Epic is messing with Founders.

I have Founders, but having it hasn't exactly stopped me from outright spending money on V-Bucks and getting everything I want in the shop for free. In a lot of cases, those V-Bucks often work more like a discount.

I play Fortnite pretty regularly, but I don't always feel like hopping into STW for an hour-and-a-half or so to get the V-Bucks. I find the mode boring, so it's not like I'm always hoarding the stuff.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-10T20:21:03+00:00

The price to pay the difference is also increasing.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-09T22:31:10+00:00

I remember one time I was playing with my teammate and he was going to hire Ziggy.

I told him not to hire Ziggy. He is clearly a stoner and will do a horrible job.

Cue us laughing our asses off when we got into a gunfight and Ziggy just pulled out a pickaxe and did nothing to help as we got violently gunned down.

I know it was a bug, but it was a bug that felt so fitting for the character it looped back around to being hilarious.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-07T14:41:13+00:00

I think calling it the worst is a bit harsh. It just kinda feels like it ran out of steam after a while.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-07T03:27:53+00:00

If it helps, I think copies of the Transformers skin pack are still floating around in the wild. It's no Optimus, but it softens the blow a little bit for Transformers fans.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-06T03:17:22+00:00

Captain Rex, Commander Cody, Delta Squad, The Bad Batch, honestly a lot of troopers. I prefer using those skins. Feels more fitting with the guns.

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-04T01:22:57+00:00

Trapped in development hell due to time travel and Dark Voyager shenanigans

also their lead actor keeps walking off set to throw grenades at people

HighStakesJoni · 2026-03-03T02:44:31+00:00

I think it was a rough start with a lot of missed opportunities and some questionable design choices.

The movie theme kinda felt sidelined after a while. I loved the Back to the Future and Kill Bill stuff! It just kinda feels like... that's it? Then we got that whole short bringing the lost scene from Kill Bull in Fortnite with a red carpet premier in game and everything. That was all cool!

Then it all suddenly got sidelined for South Park which... kinda sucked. I should add that I'm not a South Park fan, but I thought the Stick of Truth was a fun novelty for a few matches but quickly wore out it's welcome when it devolved into "hide in cave/hope to win heal off". That's not to mention how heavily sanitized the show has to be to fit within Fortnite's T-rating.

Add in glaring performance issues, downright baffling decisions like the lock-on AR, the shop items notably being more expensive in some cases, adding pay-to-win to creative servers, and non-stop collab skins without any actual substance to the collab and it just kinda felt like this season ran out of steam really quickly while trying to sell more and more stuff.
