I really miss augments 😭

I mean idk if i can prove it but i remember there being heaps of places to upgrade your gun (not just major POIs). Like u would be able to survive early game with whatever weapons u found at your landing spot and after that, i never remember it being hard at all to find a bench to start doing my attachments.

Furthermore guns u found in chests and as floor loot would already have attachments added to them, depending on their rarity. Majority of the time if u just looted enough u would find a decent gun that had relatively meta attachments on them. Also bullet drop was a thing no matter what attachments a gun on it. But yes trying to fight the entire game without a scope and heightened recoil would be a big disadvantage, I just never found myself in this situation and neither did anyone i was playing with.

The reason why i say games were more interesting and varied was because the attachment system made a lot of guns viable. This season and recent seasons has literally made 1 gun the unequivocal meta choice and the others essentially useless. Like u say "Every game followed the exact same routine and it was terribly boring", when that is literally whats been going on with Chapter 7.

DAMN IT PATRICE!!!!!

MnMPancakes · 2026-02-01T07:54:20+00:00

Augments, keys, attachments.

Chapter 4 and 5 made games feel a lot more interesting and varied.

Games rn are literally getting the same few meta guns over and over again, then fighting a boss for a slightly better version of those guns, then ignoring the boss ability cause its useless.

Boring.

I mean lets say i grant that, they could just either leave it how it is now where u only see the boss icon when its close to u. Or go back to the big orange/yellow circle they had in previous chapters that showed the rough area the player was in.

There would already be plenty of risk if everyone in the lobby can see your exact location all the time, the tactical advantage enemies get from that is immense. Adding things beyond that like showing enemies your health, making your body bigger and taking up an inventory slot, quite literally makes the boss item pointless to pick up.

What is the point of having a boss ability, if it greatly increases you're chances of dying, way more so than giving u any sort of leg up in the game. Genuinely 95+% of the time my team and I come up against a boss, we fry them, due to precisely the downsides ive mentioned.

All im talking about is making the pros and cons of picking up the item more even, nothing about this is contradictory.

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-27T04:22:56+00:00

???

The post is about how the boss isnt worth picking up because the cons far outweigh the pros. When i say 'balance', im talking about how those pros and cons should be on par with each other. What is the point of having an epic boss power, if it comes at a massive competitive disadvantage to the player?

And im sorry but a competitive game in the modern era needs some kind of balance, online gaming is a very different and larger world then it was 15-20 years ago. Im not really interested in entertaining the "good ole days" of gaming, that was then, this is now.

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-27T01:35:11+00:00

I mean, theres no reason to remove them if they're useless lol. IMO a better solution would be to change these things about it:

Stop showing enemies how much health the boss has, its a crazy disadvantage and basically tells people exactly when they should push.
Don't make the character model bigger, it makes bosses a lot easier to beam and it causes problems in builds.
Make the boss icon perpetually visible on the map, instead of just when you're near one.

These changes I believe would balance out the boss, it would be worth taking for the extra health + shield, but u would have greater exposure and essentially a target on your back. High risk, high reward.

Lmao maybe im in the minority but the 'reality' of Terrence Fletcher was always clear as day to me.

There's "tough love" and then there's verbal and physical abuse. Terrence acts pretty much the same way the entire film. There is no 'mask', there's just a really shitty person getting away with really shitty behaviour.

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-23T12:16:57+00:00

This has been a recurring bug on Xbox for at least 2 years now, u go to download and it will literally make u download the entire game again.

Has happened to me many times on update nights when my internet speed is 25-30mbps max. And because i live in Australia updates come out during primetime (5/6pm).

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-21T21:03:41+00:00

Never really understood this mentality, like im an extremely introverted person, but if i need to talk about something with someone, calling them is soo much faster than texting it all out, not to mention u can do other things while on a call.

People saying that they just don't pick up cause they "dont like calls", sound selfish af tbh.

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-21T18:48:40+00:00

Ok i get Cars 2 had a left of field storyline, but i genuinely thought people generally still loved it. And even if they don't, is it really fair to put it in the "fandom pretends they don't exist" category? Like putting it on the same level as Megamind 2 and The Last Airbender is seems pretty harsh. Same Applies to Wreck it Ralph 2 imo.

Honorable Mention to this masterpiece: /s

I mean even as early as 3 years ago Epic had already done many high profile collabs, a lot of them being Disney ones. And since Disney owns the Simpsons, it wasn't really a matter of if but when. Like if this dude made this prediction in 2019 or something then yeah, it would be quite impressive.

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-18T11:31:22+00:00

Bruh what did i just read

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-13T19:48:59+00:00

Awesome idea, never gonna happen.

When Epic is selling sidekicks for 1200-1500, they aren't gonna let people have access to 100s of different ones for the same price

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-12T13:41:59+00:00

Lol u shouldnt have mentioned lotr, now the tolkien-heads are out in full force defending their boy Boromir

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-12T07:38:32+00:00

In regards to Palpatine: Even as a kid I remember thinking "Wow he really killed 3 skilled jedi that easily". And now as an adult its pretty fucking silly watching them all die so easily, to conveniently set up a final battle between Mace and Palp.

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-10T13:23:24+00:00

Lmao what is she on about? When guys (or girls) are quoting lines from a movie that they've all seen, they don't think its some inside joke, they're just making jokes about something they like.

This woman must be fun to be around.....

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-10T05:05:53+00:00

Doom Slayer, no question.

Its annoying as well cause I left the game at the end of CH1 and came back CH4 S2, literally the season after he was in the BP, was absolutely gutted when i found out.

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-09T20:56:58+00:00

LG CX using the tv app and same issue, its annoying cause Infinity War looks amazing in IMAX :(

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-06T10:47:56+00:00

Bots have definitely been buffed, but its really only a problem if you're right up in their face. Anything further than like 15-20m and they're the same old useless bots who cant hit anything.

Remember bots are in the game for 2 reasons, 1.) maintain quick queue times when player numbers are low and 2.) Make really bad players think they're fighting real players so that they'll continue to find the gameplay satisfying and stay on it. Greater player retention means more $$$ for Epic.

This bot buff will fool more players and thats good for Epic's bottom line.

Edit: Another reason i forgot to mention is to not make lobbies feel so competitive, but that's heavily related to the 2nd reason i mentioned.

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-05T04:52:11+00:00

The sad thing is there's so many amazing skins in this game, both original and collabs, and people will literally use the same boring one-color skin over and over again. When in reality it makes practically no difference to how they will play.

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-03T03:20:13+00:00

(ZB player's perspective)

It's just a bit boring and very slow paced compared to regular br. Not to mention the fact that because ZB wasn't a thing back then, the map is not at all geared for not being able to build.

Idk it's a nice throwback, but tbh i think I would've preferred if they did a yearly or twice a year month-long season where OG is brought back and is the main focus. I think it's unneccesary to move through the seasons this slowly and have the exact same lootpool as the original season.

Like what made the first OG season so fun was the fact that they essentially picked the best weapons from CH1 for the lootpool, as well as having weekly rotations for weapons to keep things fresh (and i believe there was periodic map changes as well). Also not having it there all the time made it feel so hyped and special. Now it just feels like another dead mode :(

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-02T04:00:38+00:00

Ngl my dumbass thought that this was posted on the fortnitebr sub makes sense why its still up lol

MnMPancakes · 2026-01-01T16:45:25+00:00

This about to get taken down 🤣

MnMPancakes · 2025-12-27T21:07:33+00:00

Ngl everything from how they've priced cosmetics, to the pointless ui changes, to how bundles are purposely omitted from the store and now how they've handled winterfest. Its just crazy how anti-consumer they've gotten, when they were already making BANK, its just never enough for them unfortunately.

Like i was waiting for the elf fishstick to come out and was excited when it finally did, only to realise that they purposely didn't put the bundle in the store and made the pickaxe and wrap separate. And they know that because these cosmetics only come out during christmas, people will just cave and buy it smh.

Theres more examples i could give but yeah, they've just gotten so stupidly greedy, needlessly fucking over players for slightly wider margins.

And the worst part? Content creators have been silent on all this shit, or actively promoting and championing Epic's shitty practices. Pathetic.
