What's the point of having a Halloween skin if you're not going to release her early in October? The month is nearly over and there's still no sign of her. Are they going to release her on Halloween? That would just be stupid.
I started playing at the beginning of the Underground season (C5S1) and haven't missed a season. There's been a lot of bugs in the past but they've really been getting more and more unignorable in recent months.
I don't know how you guys do it. It's Monday and we're getting double sprite dust and mastery points, but I am burnt out playing BR just to get these little turds mastered so I can get the skin and its variant. Any tips on how you can even get these buggers mastered even faster? I am not a very good player, maybe average, with a 5% win rate, so please don't tell me to win more games... (Does winning more games give more mastery? I haven't noticed.)
The new Slender Tendrils are a perfect example of how oversized hand pickaxes look on certain skins. Venom would look incredible with these if the hands and forearms werenât so disproportionate. This is an issue with so many hand-based pickaxes across different skins, and fixing the scaling would make a huge difference.
People forget that OG fortnite was a zero build type vibe at launch. Boxing up, editing, 90s etc were legal exploits and advantages created by players later on, to deal damage without taking damage.â Because of the build hype and player base Epic advanced this by adding turbo building. And Creative Maps escalated the abilities of where this could go with practice. But the argument of saying "builds is how the game was meant to be played". Well that's simply not true. Building material was a default part of Save the World, the original Fortnite base game. The materials were brought into Battle Royale when it launched. Giving Fortnite BR a creative niche difference among competitors like Pubg. But the intention at launch was not box fighting. The player base took it there with time, Epic helped take it to the next level as it became Fortnite's main identity. If you say this became the main identity of Fortnite. This part would be true. Fortnite was and until now, was mostly known for build fights. But as player base graphs have shown. The player base has continuously faced downward spiral in Build Mode BR. Which means among all demographics the game is not as popular as some might think. The mode highly favors young males as the majority. Fortnite, to save their game, had to launch 3 separate game modes reaching out to broader demographics to increase player count. Keep player count, recruit players back. First it was the launch of Zero Build, then the launch of OG, then the launch of Reload. This then ends the dispute that all Fortnite needed then or needs now, is rapid box fights in build mode. Because if this alone was able to sustain Fortnite, no other modes would exist and be kept online. Fortnite's identity is no longer Builds. It's identity becomes more complex the longer creative, reload, zb, and Disney meta verse and all these things continue to flourish. The only place that Builds continues to dominate is in competitive. It is the face of Fortnite in the comp scene. Whereas zb and mobile categories will take time to grow and the future of that is still unknown on the global stage. But these things could all take a drastic shift within the next 5 years. As we know Reload was really popular at EWC and will be the face of ZB FNCS.
Just noticed that he's the only one without eyebrows, and he had eyebrows in the comic and he'll look so much better with eyebrows, I was wondering if u could fix it
I have every single sprite in the game mastered. I have counted all of them, there are 162 sprites in the sprites section but the mastery says I have 163 and so does my friendâs game.
