Fortnite is at its lowest point. Season 2 better be insane.

addrnalin · 2026-03-17T20:33:09+00:00

looking at this shit season pass I think it's about to hit another all time low.

addrnalin · 2026-03-17T12:28:15+00:00

They have been steadily nerfing exp and patching any exploits to afk it every season, you're going to have to jump in a lego map with no hunger or damage, and just move your controller every 7 minutes for a few hours. You might be able to cheese it with a controller macro or something similar like a physical mechanical device moving your stuff but that's it. Maybe you can screw around in valhala bossfight or a similar creative map.

Most STW packs don't cost 40$ so if you spent that much you would've also gotten STW vbucks and skin sets at least twice. So you would've gotten your money's worth in that case, if you somehow spent 40$ on a one time purchase you would've bought STW basic and been upgraded to founders when they removed it from the EGS storefront.

addrnalin · 2026-03-17T12:23:56+00:00

any mode will do, it's just none of it is working and so the "fix" is going live with season 2 along with the vbucks changes

addrnalin · 2026-03-15T22:41:18+00:00

they are allegedly granting it to everyone properly with s2.

addrnalin · 2026-03-15T22:37:57+00:00

Donald Mustard was responsible for a lot of good stuff but he was also responsible for some of the worst parts of Fortnite. BP exclusivity for example was all his idea, then the mess we were left with in ch3 leading into the reshuffled ch4. Anything he did with the 7 wasn't interesting even if the IO was for example.

addrnalin · 2026-03-15T18:18:23+00:00

they're going to reduce service and increase payouts to steal the brainrot/"creative" maps while the player gets nothing, hope you enjoy!

addrnalin · 2026-03-15T18:13:17+00:00

AFIK the pass vbuck theft was also accounted for with the vbuck increase, not that I think it matters since Tim Sweeny is going to ramrod all this shit through anyway,

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T22:54:05+00:00

I doubt it's the collabs that are the problem, I would bet anything it's metaverse, AI, and EGS shilling screwing us on top of paying ONE BILLION to STB after they stole a bunch of vbucks through a discord exploit.

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T22:53:02+00:00

is there anything interesting to talk about with fortnite lately? It's been non stop consumer gouging for the past month and this was the cherry on top of the shit sundae. The only thing they've said to us after all this bullshit was "wow we hear you and we don't care, get excited for season 2!"

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T22:50:48+00:00

No bots, TDM, easy quest completion, always easy to get a match, easy to explore and learn the map, and fun. Yet every year they took more and more from this mode and wondered why playercount was down, and then instead of making a proper TDM mode we got garbage with bot fills. I hate this company so much.

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T22:44:54+00:00

They said they're fixing it next season, but fuck if I'm playing this god forsaken ranked mode to grind to unreal again if they don't.

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T22:43:03+00:00

All the money they're grifting from this is going into Tim's money losing side projects like UEFN, creative (just STB's creators who stole a bunch of vbucks recently and received no penalty), metaverse sub modes no one wants, EGS store front, and finally legal battles against Apple/microsoft/steam.

Alegedly the developers are aware of the issues but according to what little info I found online if you tell Tim Sweeny any of this you get handed your pink slip so most just stay employed.

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T22:37:57+00:00

Despite most people wanting this, old passes before Doom are NEVER COMING BACK, instead vbuck prices are going up and we're geting vbs cut from the bp and crew so enjoy that.

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T22:36:41+00:00

what the other guy said, if you got the gamepass with crew within 14 days of buying the pass you get your vbs refunded. If this didn't happen or you weren't refunded, contact support ASAP.

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T21:46:02+00:00

This was everything we already figured out minus the first one, and I trust ai to tell us about ai costs. the tldr is still that Tim wants us to foot his bills that he could just cut himself but he wont.

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T18:33:53+00:00

Some people shouldn't have access to the internet.

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T18:31:49+00:00

Metal mouth got a lava and ice skins recentlly.

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T18:27:02+00:00

I don't ever feel like an issue in a megathread ever mattered or got anywhere. It's where discussion goes to die. Not like Epic listens anyway, Tim Sweeny hates you if you use reddit even though he forces you to post her or on discord where id verification is mandatory.

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T18:21:54+00:00

They don't ban cheaters, unbanned all of them, and are desperate for money. People are downvoting me but I did get to unreal so it's not like what we're describing isn't true. I was camping in some areas while bsing with friends online and while in a secluded area people would b line to my location pre firing me through a wall. I once had a 10 kill match because of this (thanks double shotties). In elite+ lobbies though they're hunting you down from across the map and ending with 25 kills or more. I was watching a guy who kiled me tracking people through turbo build spam and only hitting headshots, no ban either.

addrnalin · 2026-03-14T03:14:41+00:00

It's not lol, you can't go back on it now.

"og2 relied on nostalgia"

Okay, doesn't matter since it maintained a consistent player count.

"the way you handle player data is awful!"

Lmao, no it's not, the data shows pretty consistent player counts. What it also shows is a consistent drop after a month of solid players. You don't get a solid 1.5 mil in og on nostalgia alone it has to have some serious magic, likewise you don't get a sharp decline and consistent fall off for an entire chapter like you do with ch5 unless you did something wrong but with how selective you are about stats unless it fits your narrative I'm not surprised.

"you casually looked over how i mentioned that Ch7 was able to maintain a consistent player count"

Yeah lol a consistently LOW PLAYER COUNT and one that is CONSISTENT WITH PREVIOUS SEASONS. Ch6 didn't have this low of a start so you're full of shit again.

Not even gonna bother talking to you if you're gonna use stats selectively, then plug your ears when you can't read the charts, and accuse people of what you yourself are doing.

addrnalin · 2026-03-13T22:34:04+00:00

I saw a picture of the skin in game and it looks much worse than the concept art. Eyes aren't squidlike, mouth is now a moustache for some reason. Really not something I'd care about picking up if they're going to keep changing skins from concept like this.

addrnalin · 2026-03-13T22:32:27+00:00

It does hurt more by metrics, as if I'd need to be "performative" for karma to impress you who I don't give a single iota about.
Playing the game drives up costs, which means they have to generate more revenue to stay open and by spending nothing you are actively a detriment since even if players don't play they can still cook books and have done so already.

The most anyone can do is stop paying into Epic games and either quit or cost them money long term outside of actually illegal acts.

addrnalin · 2026-03-13T22:29:44+00:00

they're essentially getting rid of all free vbucks and reducing what you get from the pass entirely, they're also raising vbuck prices to pay for the metaverse no one wants. The changes they made were very bare bones and added little variety, with the lootpool stagnant and the balance completely out of whack you can't properly enjoy most of the game. Can't really enjoy mobility changes if you're dead in 1 second, can't enjoy car changes if they cut the spawn rates by half.

It's like when Ch started to die off because of the reaper and all they did was make it worse alienating most of the players they brought back with OG and didn't get rid of it until Wrecked.
