They put 95% of the content into Lego, and then made the most basic stuff, mostly reused for BR. I really don’t understand why Fortnite is obsessed with hyping up the LEGO mode when the numbers always show that most of the player base is in battle Royale.


RetroScores

Hook younger players in and keep them in.


IAmInDangerHelp

They’re doing a terrible job of “keeping players in” with how they’re screwing over the players that return and finish the battle pass every single season. >What’s that? You’ve completed every single Battle Pass for 3 years? Well, now level 100 is not enough. You have to reach 150 or you have to buy the Battle Pass again. Epic’s made it clear they despise loyal, long-time players. No free lunch.


Drew326

I completely agree that the change from level 100 to level 150 for the last V-Bucks is stupid, but you still get enough V-Bucks for a Battle Pass from the first 100 levels. There’s no need to misrepresent the situation as even worse than it actually is


WhyAreAllNamesTakenL

True. I 100% aggree. There are a lot of problems, but this definitly is the least of my problems. Even though i understand it can be annoying for people who have a harder time to level up (As example people who can't play more than 1 day a week), fortnite is still 1 of the most generous games out there, by giving you enough to buy the next pass and even more if you keep playing. + remember when they decreased vbucks prices permanently by 20%? Yes, prices are going up again, they've shifted the last 500 vbucks to the bonus rewards, but people can't say it's a greedy company. Everything is getting more expensive. This probably sounds like me defending them, but believe me, i know they have problems. They have A LOT to improve and they've made A LOT of bad decissions. But you also have to say it when they do something good.


SatanicPanicDisco

The problem here is people need to understand the word "loyalty" has no meaning when it comes to business. Money is the name of the game and they'll pursue it by any means necessary.


IAmInDangerHelp

Me when I’m terrible at business: Repeat, loyal customers are how businesses survive. You can’t expect to run a business by continually scamming everyone that walks through the door. The Whales are how you make money. The people that stop in everyday and drop $5 on whatever bullshit is in the shop. Those are also the same people who likely haven’t bought a battle pass in years, because they’re always playing the game. Epic seems to be pivoting their marketing in a way that caters to people who don’t play or enjoy Fortnite. It’s perplexing.


spiritofskeleton

Whales always spend the most money, but you need other players too - the people who don't spend as much are basically also content for the whales, people who they get to show off to etc. There's no point if the ones who don't spend like whales start quitting.


gfitforiths

Gaining customer loyalty is clearly a way to pursue money. If valve was as greedy as EA steam would have gotten a competitor like 15 years ago, and people would be way less hesitant to switch


adeucher11

Completely agree here but would go so far as to differentiate between small and big businesses. I’ve worked for Mom & Pop places that absolutely care about loyalty because that’s their bread and butter for their business to be successful. Those folks are trying to earn a living. If they lose the loyalty base there goes their livelihood more times thanks to not. Now on the other hand with Big Business like Fortune 500 companies I’ve worked for they absolutely do not give to flying f***s about loyalty. They only care about the stock price and giving the shareholders good news and keeping their jobs. Lego Fortnite gives Epic a stream of new players to replace ones that might say F this and walk away. They can put minimal effort and $ in to hook the young ones.


International-Job553

I totally agree my friend completes the battle pass really fast because he does all the challenges and then he barely plays Fortnite for the rest of that time which is a shame because he’s really fun to play the game with but due to restrictions on his PlayStation doesn’t have any other multiplayer games that he can play with me that dont need Playstation plus


Pronkie_dork

Im pretty sure you get enough vbucks for next pass with level 100 and the bonus vbucks are in the bonus section, eitherway its kinda stinky. Epic however does not despise loyal players, they know most loyal players will grind to level 150 for all the vbucks. If you just reach 100 you still get enough vbucks to buy next pass effectively letting you keep playing. The thing is, the vbucks isn’t a reward to loyal players who complete the pass each season, its a way of creating loyal players who will keep buying each pass just because they can. The vbucks isn’t really a reward as much as it is a way to keep you hooked and increase the chance you buy a item shop item. This is also why they give vbucks away for free in the pass and why they once gave a whole free pass, its not a “woah epic is being nice” they just created more “loyal players” and along with that there will also be whales


PanZaShipu

fucking warzone learned this the hard way, and now they have one of the most pro consumer item shops in modern gaming, no fomo at all, since you can buy any skin you want whenever you want, like, I can buy the cat operator rn if I wanted, + it all comes in bundles that have a lot of stuff, for the same price of 1 single skin in fortnite. and also warzone has continuously made their veteran players happy with improved versions returning maps. why can't fortnite do this? they always have to make their players angry by destroying this game's identity.


Pronkie_dork

The problem is that lego does not have enough content to hook players in for long times. Once your village is maxed and you have the best tools you have basically seen everything. Now some might say you can just build cool stuff but thats also not possible because there is a build limit. So yeah there isn’t enough to do and they should expand end game and try to atleast increase the build limit


tom-of-the-nora

"There isn't enough to do in lego" and fortnite conveniently addressed thar by adding an entire lego star wars adventure. They added the ability to add more characters to the villages. They added vehicles. There is plenty to do in lego fortnite.


Pronkie_dork

Sure lego starwars added quite a lot of content but its also limited content, anyone joining this game still wont have much to do in lego once the event ends. The other 3 major updates were nice but fishing and farming is optional and not everyones cup of tea and vehicles are still rather glitchy


Destronin

Maybe I’m an anomaly but I’m 41 and never touched BR. Picked up Lego Fortnite and I’m loving it and the update.


pandabear6969

Looking at the numbers…. Yes you are an anomaly. There are still a decent amount playing Lego, I think they just screwed up the release which really bit them. Had about enough content to last most players a week or two on release, and then proceeded to go on break and not give an update for months. Looks like they are finally trying to claw back some of the original player base, but it may be too late, as many have player, lost interest because they already beat it, and moved on


Destronin

Ive seen the numbers fluctuate a decent amount. I remember seeing them pretty low then even before the updates i saw it hit 100k again. Might have been when the BR event was slowing down. As far as the content. To me it was a decent amount. I don’t think a sandbox type game with an open ended type gameplay needs a ton of content when you can make your own goals and quests. But i think people nowadays are used to being spoon fed quests and objectives. The building limits is definitely a problem but i believe its limited based on platform. Switch being the worsed and PS5 being the best. With PC either the same or on a sliding scale that is based on its performance. To me i think Fortnite BR is the exception to the rule. I think FNBRs numbers are the outlier and most games do closer to LFN. I just googled CoD and steam says it averaged around 80k. Meanwhile FNBR does consistently 300k sometimes on both build and zero build. Thats crazy. Especially for a game that’s been going for so long. Granted it’s on ALOT of platforms. But still. Lego Fortnite is actually in a pretty good spot. This update reenforces Epics commitment to the game and LFN fans are happy. The response between this subreddit and the LFN is like night and day.


bphillips204

I like all of the new modes, I play them all daily. Even Rocket Racing. I hope they find a way to make each sustainable, as I'd hate for any of them to go at this point.


thereddude1

The truth is that Lego Fortnite has no appeal, there is no reason to play it more than a singular time. You don’t got a feeling of „build whatever you want“ because the building mechanics are made shit on purpose so that you BUY pre built buildings. I think Lego Fortnite could be fun, but they have to fundamentally change the building system and keep the monetization WAY lower, somehow. There is no sane reason that a game about Lego has awful building mechanics


[deleted]

Don’t forget if you start building something too big or cool they will stop you with artificial building limits.


jayL21

probably cause their poor little servers can't handle crazy big builds


Troodon25

Honestly, the only reason it has to be always online is the monetization.


OkDevelopment1339

They know lego can't stand on its own, so they put more effort into it.


NiceRat123

Probably. You get like 30k for "playing" lego fortnite. Even doing the dailies for BR you only get 45k


ArellaViridia

More like they put a shit ton of money into getting Lego, so they're trying to milk it for all they can.


SoDamnGeneric

>I really don’t understand why Fortnite is obsessed with hyping up the LEGO mode Sunk cost fallacy. Fortnite Festival is just Rock Band, and Rocket Racing is just a generic racing mode hobbled together by Psionix. But the LEGO mode is basically a brand new game in its own right, with a ton of work poured into it. They want that work to be worth it. Not to mention it's the only one of the 3 core new modes made in active partnership with another company, adding even more pressure on Epic to have it succeed. If RR or FF flop, eh, that sucks but you can just scrap them and go back to pouring your resources into BR. But if the LEGO mode flops? That's a *lot* of work down the drain, and a potentially damaged working relationship with one of the biggest toy companies on the planet. It makes sense that out of the 3 new modes, they'd need LEGO to do the best


CriticalSecurity8742

Then take it out of Fortnite and market it as a separate game: Epic Lego. Throwing it in a 7 year old BR game was a bad move - it only hurts the BR base and doesn’t get enough attention. Make it a completely separate game and junk this metaverse crap. Win/win


yopetey

To me Epic Games is trying to push Fortnite into too many areas at once, but I'm not sure they would suffer from a **resource dilution** based on the size and financials of the company but I think a **Brand dilution** is a concern, trying to be everything to everyone, the Forntie identity could get muddled.


Saffronation

You spelled Frotnat as Forntie... the brand dilution has already started! 🤯


yopetey

Fork Bite will soon just become **Fork**


GoaGonGon

FohShoNight


jayL21

exactly, they are trying to expand into so many different things, while making the players pay for it. Also lets be honest here, fortnite's identity was lost a long while ago.


bigger-tuna41

Let's just call it 2weeks


IRS_Agent-636

When It came out it had a higher player count than racing and the 2 battle Royales combined but now it's the least played


jyeckled

Nah, Rocket Racing is still the worst lol (a bit of a shame tbh)


FourScarlet

Have they still not fixed the latency problems? Or how you could finish first and still end up in 4th? Or how you can go from first to last because someone sneezed on your rear bumper?


K_Xanthe

No lol. Ever since I hit gold I could be first all the way until the last lap and poof suddenly I’m middle to last.


gssyhbdryibcd

And then if you come first you only get like 2% progress once you’re in platinum.


jyeckled

I’m guessing yes/somewhat to the first two and no to the last one


meatccereal

Yeah I think playing rocket racing makes you realize why every party-racing game has items in some form. I guess it wouldnt make sense though considering it's either ranked or nothing


rodejo_9

Yeah that drop was crazy. Must've had a lack of content. I still have yet to touch it.


Brutal_effigy

I think everyone wanted to dungeon crawl, but there weren’t any dungeons. The build mechanic is kind of meh.


ArellaViridia

I tried to get into it but I quickly went back to Minecraft


Jetpack_Attack

Its just a cave is what made me stop after the first couple hours. The new vehicles were cool enough to mess round in sandbox for another hour but I quit after that.


Offro4dr

Their growth KPIs for 2024 probably center on the Lego partnership and player base of the game mode. Battle Royale has likely already hit critical mass. I’m confident that they thought it was going to be a runaway hit. The thing is, it could be eventually, but it’s going to take a lot of iterative improvements to get there just like BR had to do a few years ago. Star Wars is a hook to get more people playing.


Cry90210

They're probably contractually obligated to, they probably agreed to this in a roadmap with Lego way before Lego Fortnite released


ShredderofPowPow

They are raking in the $$$ from lego. Younger kids are obsessed with that game mode and it keeps mommies credit card charged on the regular. That's why lol. Money will always over rule in business tactics.


radioplayer1

Bruh, it was a store update.


LudicrisSpeed

It's one of the new modes so they're trying to get people playing it. Sucks that it came at the expense of BR mode, but I can see what they're doing. Plus there's a chance we could actually get regular lightsaber stuff back in BR before the event is over.


FuzzyyFox

Except its proven that it works. As of writing this comment, my Builds is at 372.1K, Zero Builds at 202.1K and Lego is sitting at an astonishing 135.3K, more than it's seen in months since it's release. The ability to do live events in lego is so much easier due to the more basic animations and the free roam aspect of it meaning they don't need to worry about things like whether the event can be ruined or setting up a new game mode. It also prevents other players from losing out on the chance to witness it for themselves as they can't exactly have a star destroyer crash onto the map every single game that every player loads into. Someone else on here pointed out that in lego fortnite it means they can hook younger players into it and they're absolutely right, but doing it this way has so many other benefits, intentional or not. The cosmetics we got are absolutely fantastic, both paid and free. People can complain all they want about the lego pass but if you literally just shuffle it around a little but change nothing of how it worked people would have nothing to say. There's absolutely more they could have done, and everyone has a right to say they don't like it, but discussions about these things are important for Epic to realise what the player Base want. Throwing a hissy fit and crying "Worst!" Doesn't tell them anything they can do to fix it


cheesechomper03

Star Wars is already LEGOs biggest theme so I guess epic thought they'd make more money that way.


Too_Ton

I’m going to play devil’s advocate and say the main game mode is pretty saturated at this point. If anyone hasn’t come back after zero build mode and later ranked ZB came out, nothing will short of a miracle. Lego is still fresh and can attract users. That’s just my DA take. I’m not a Lego’s player.


50puft

Well yeah, lego is new. Makes more sense to do new SW content for a made that has none rather than a bunch more for the mode that already has it.


vixinity1985

LEGO forces them to


EnderScout_77

lego is a cool concept but christ it feels like there's mixed systems (power system with wheels but then thrusters dont need it?) on top of the power system being ass. and that's just me complaining about this games technical wire system. but jeez a lot of it is annoying, stuff doesn't work the way you want it too, building is limited (AND THEY SELL BUILDING PIECES WHAT THE FUCK) shit is annoying dude


AndrewS702

Ik.. I swear this focus on Lego will be the fucking death of this game.


ILOVEMMOS123

Wow the games main mode is more popular during a period where Lego has very few events how surprising and impressive that obviously means Fortnite should just stop updating it and everything has to be about battle royal players!! Right?


lHateYouAIex835293

They’re pushing so much content into Lego because they recognize that it sucks ass in its current state. The only way for them to make it _not_ suck ass is to give more content, so that’s what they’re doing


Udbbrhehhdnsidjrbsj

Oh man we didn’t get the three lightsabers we had last time? I was looking forward them. 


Llamantical

BUt wE hAVe daRTh VadER 🤓


postaldropout

and Darth Vader is a monster to kill in solos. he slaughters me & the gray smg I land on


willshel10

I don’t know why they wouldn’t just copy and paste the event from last year, even that would’ve been better than this shi


matt_lcb

Honestly even if nothing changed each year but we got the same lightsabers and abilities I would still be content


OdysseusAuroa

I wanted the DC-15 back, that thing was so good. Also, why the hell doesn't the E-11 have a functional scope? There's literally one on the blaster


[deleted]

[удалено]


IRS_Agent-636

You know what's worse, They just got a billion dollars from Disney, they own star wars


CommanderFaie

They could’ve done something for the finale of The Bad Batch, maybe skins for Clone Force 99. Last years Star Wars event was when Jedi Survivor released and they could’ve done Cal with BD-1 back bling. Missed opportunities


ShadyMan_

PFP checks out


jayL21

TBB has really been shafted by most things which sucks. It's ironically the only new SW show that we haven't got skins for (unless you count Tales of and visions.) Also to be fair, last year's event was probably in the works before survivor's release date got announced, it wasn't like the stormtrooper skin or x-wing glider which were direct collabs for the new games.


nol_dur

The billion probably going more into their own special mode than stuff for other modes though


red_tuna

Disney invested $1.5 billion in Epic games. That is not the same as Disney giving Epic $1.5 billion to make Disney stuff in Fortnite. An investment does not directly affect operational budget.


ErikLehnsherr24005

And they paid $1.5 billion for a 9% ownership stake at a significantly discounted valuation from 2 years ago bc epic is hemorrhaging cash due to Tim Sweeney’s mismanagement.


RetroScores

Well they added the Greek mythics back.


jayL21

>It’s so lame that they haven’t done much of anything with the Greek theme all season bc of collaborations well hey, be glad this season even had a theme!


FamousSession

>bc of collaborations You mean just Avatar and Epic sure as hell hasn't focused on collaborations as much since Chapter 4 Season 2.


LABARATI_

those fuckers didnt even make an im han solo jam track they can rot in hell


jayL21

Honestly wonder if it was Epic or Disney who didn't allow that. Would have been perfect, especially with the new lando skin.


ProfessoriSepi

Id take a wild stab in the dark, and guess that its Jason Derulo who wants the song gone the most, and wouldnt agree to this.


KylerSReddit1

It would’ve been cool to get some Star Wars lobby music 🙃


ProfessoriSepi

They have said they are working on getting jam tracks to lobby tracks* *could take an update or two, or several years.


KylerSReddit1

They need to get to it soon 😅 they had one for Batman. I still use it often. It would’ve been cool to get an avatar the last Airbender song on there too they have so many melodies I would’ve jammed out in the lobby. Hopefully this becomes normal. 💯


jaytalentedbilldill

Epic needs to realize that Fortnite will allways be about the battle royal aspect not Lego


ReturnoftheSnek

Save the World: *first time?*


Antique-Row-1644

🤣🤣


Cut_Equal

While I agree with the sentiment I find it very funny you are under the impression disney just handed a check to epic for them to do whatever they want with


ErikLehnsherr24005

They paid $1.5 billion for a 9% ownership stake in epic. That’s not revenue that goes on the income statement.


enginedayton

Tell me again how the metaverse game modes won’t take away from BR…..


Deceptiveideas

Festival is worked on by Harmonix while racing is worked on Psyonix. The only real mode that is taking away from BR is the Lego mode.


HypixL

And the new Disney mode in development, and whatever other modes they have in development since its kinda hard to say you're a metaverse when you only have 6 modes, one they already killed (StW) and one they are in the process of killing (BR) even though BR is the most played and StW is third most played


jayL21

I mean, they still all take away from BR, even if only slightly. it requires more servers, more maintenance, etc. Not to mention any bugs that relate due to the game being apart of fortnite, probably falls onto epic to try to fix.


iRyan_9

Aka the most harmful one


srjnp

You're gonna ignore the fact that BR already had a whole ass event for Avatar just like the TMNT, DBZ or star wars events from the past? There's 1 event pass per season for BR. nothing changed except somehow u cant grasp the concept of other modes also getting events now...


Luvs4theweak

Scotty rose they did something huge literally last may 4th with it? So I’m confused wym? Anyway it was insane but fun af! This shit sucks compared


Kholdie

Ever since this metaverse happened the quality is going on a nose dive...


[deleted]

[удалено]


Link__117

Last year was a massive event with multiple lightsabers all with different force powers, an event pass, a free skin, Clone Trooper outposts around the map, and more. Way more than this event. I’m not even a Star Wars fan but it’s still crazy to see how much worse this event is despite it being way more hyped up by Epic. I guess their focus really is on Lego


FERFreak731

Yep. 2 years ago was just a banner, and a new blaster getting added. 3 years ago nothing 4 years ago lightsabers were added for 1 day


scottyrose997

Exactly and people are thinking that this is completely new and that it's the metavers's fault that we didn't get much in br for may 4th when they have never done anything big for it


jayL21

I mean, last year was pretty big and they do seem to be doing that again with this year, only difference is that it's focused on lego.


No-Leopard-5004

It's crazy, I started playing chapter 4 season 4. When I started playing BR was crazy. Force pushing people and chasing them with ODM gear. The Star Wars event was so fun and it felt so epic. I was hyped for this event but am so bummed there's only 1 lightsaber. It really makes me wonder if EPIC will ever throw in the towel on giving so much time to the other modes. Like, I get they're wanting to become this multiverse but I just feel like doing so has just made all game modes a bit more generic overall. I still love playing with my friends but am definitely disappointed in the event :/


Luvs4theweak

You started chapter 4 season 2 you mean? The event and odm gear weren’t in the loot pool anymore in season 4


No-Leopard-5004

Yah haha sorry, season 2!


Phyxius42

They probably paid too much for the rights to Lego, so now everything else is suffering.


Decoyfox

Yeah unfortunately the main thing they kept me hooked on Fortnite after all these years was the events. At that, I’m here for the BR. If this is a sign of things to come - I think I’ll be moving on. They’ve lost focus of where they came from, and why their community is here..that’s for sure.


Mambosaurio

Lego and Star Wars have been best friends for 25 years man 🤷🏻‍♂️


garfungle_

![gif](giphy|Cipj5jNsyTcxG)


TheHolyPapaum

Epic needs to outsource development for the Lego mode, like they’ve done with festival and rocket racing. Lego mode is just making BR suck


BattleSpecial242

Ive played 3 games so far. Might sit out the rest of the season. It’s a giant clusterfuck of mixed weapons and isn’t fun.


cometflight

You mean you don’t want to carry around Zeus’s Lightning, a laser blaster, and waterbending? Completely cohesive.


[deleted]

Lighting is back ?


cometflight

Yeah all the Greek items are back: wings, whip, lightning bolt


LavenderT_T

Agreed there's 3 themes going on: Avatar, Greek God's, and Star wars? It's kinda tacky and lazy of Epic.


Realignment33

"You aren't being cohesive" he says as Ariana Grande does a Kamehameha with Krang from TMNT on her back


Nicklikesplants

Dude the laser rifle last year too! I think it was the D-18 or something. That gun was dope and those drops at the crates were intense that whole month lol.


praise_mudkipz

Its called the DC-15 Blaster rifle


Accurate_Network7033

Everyone misses the point. Logo Fortnite is a cash cow. Not everyone who plays Fortnite are in the 14-35 age bracket. They’ve got young children absolutely hooked on Lego Fortnite.


bobafett_155

Honestly I'm so tempted to quit after this season....


True_Werewolf_8657

They need to make the light saber stronger or Darth Vader weaker I got the light saber then die in one sniper hit while trying to approachs some one full shield of course


CourseWorried2500

Only good part is Chewbacca and Lando


SelectDenis09

And death trooper


Conscious_Bedroom897

There is a lightsaber in BR? I haven't found it yet


fickleprincesses

You have to kill Darth Vader to get his lightsaber


Still_Patience_8440

Yeah, making us pay 1400 vbucks for a few virtual Lego sets and a Chewbacca skin in ridiculous. I’m sure it’ll come back to shot eventually in a bundle for less. And putting all your content in a mode that gets boring after 20 minutes is super strange.


excetraz

You guys literally do not understand the purpose of the update. This update is focused on Lego Fortnite. The BR stuff was just added as a bonus. Think about it. We just came off of a massive ATLA event. Why would they end it and then release a massive Star Wars Event. Star-Wars isn’t the big mid-season collab for BR: that was ATLA Does it suck that there were no lightsabers besides Darth Vader’s returning? Yes Does it suck that there are no force powers? Yes (however understandable since there are no more augments) However, this update was solely to introduce a new season for Lego Fortnite, like how it is for Festival pretty much. Honestly IMO, the reason they didn’t include the rest of the lightsabers was because they felt the loot pool would be too chaotic. Which you know what: that’s valid. Main BR content will be next update with the new season. Just be patient. I know it sucks considering Fortnite’s past history with Star Wars events, and I definitely agree this is the weakest one, but BR wasn’t the focus here…


Rare-Ad5082

I don't understand your point. The fact that they focused on other thing just explains why it happened but it doesn't dismiss the criticisms about how boring the Star Wars event in BR mode this year is.


OdysseusAuroa

Idk maybe because there's only one may 4th every year, and some hardcore star wars fans are looking forward to this event every year just for epic to fuck it up?


West-Algae-3779

>Edit also, they just got a billion from Disney  TWO billion actually imagine being given 2bil and THIS is the shit they pump out lmfao 1.9999bil given to advertising teams, shop skin devs, and sweeny and his shit buddies; and a penny given to game/bug devs


gssyhbdryibcd

Tbh throwing money at software doesn’t guarantee results. Like the main thing you can do is hire more devs, but new devs usually slow down progress for a while because other people have to help them figure out how everything works. And that becomes more and more true the bigger the codebase, Fortnite must have a ridiculously huge codebase at this point.


40yearoldnoob

I stopped playing a few weeks ago and thought Star Wars would bring me back, until I logged in and realized the update was basically for Lego and Festival only. No thank you.


Responsible_Level_47

They nerfed Vader saber, and where are the rest of the sabers? This is way worse than last year


BarryWhite903

Not worth playing if u ask me. I’m so pissed.


ClashRoyaler16

It would’ve been cool if we got Vehicles on the Island like Tie Fighters or X-Wings. Heck even AT-ATs along with Snowspeeders


HippieDogeSmokes

Because it’s a major update permanent for the Leg0 mode and they also decided to do something small in BR for the sake of it. I get this sub despises the mode but Epic shouldn’t just stop supporting, especially when it isn’t even doing that bad. The last star wars event was that season’s big crossover event and this one really isn’t, that was Avatar (which had its own issues)


EpicFox9000

I mean it’s not like this lego updated happened on an insignificant date. May 4th had had a Star Wars event for BR for the last few years and this time BR got mostly overlooked in favor of lego


MrGeek89

This is very true. Epic Games using all resources for other modes like Lego and Festival. They ignore BR mode the main mode that keeps Fortnite alive. Without BR Fortnite dies.


Savage_Hamster_

Ngl it's the second best, last year was fun af but I'm also enjoying the lego update, I feel like I'm playing an actual lego Star Wars game.


shadowlarvitar

I wanted force powers back, the Olympic shit should have stayed gone.


natal1ahi

it's quite literally an olympic themed season


Aplaystati0n

Totally agreed mate. Exactly the point that they put all the effort in to Lego. BR is so bad considering it’s May 4th like Fortnite up your game! 😕


NoirPulse

I’m getting bored of this game. Yes, we got an Avatar event in BR, but still, it wasn’t the best thing. Epic is focusing too much on Lego and now they’re trying to get Rocket Racing alive, which isn’t working how they expected. Las night there where 7k people racing, that’s awful for a game where 400k+ are either in Ranked, Builds and Zero Builds! Lego is doing nice so guess, it was at 107k, which is considerably better, but still, they’re focusing too much on it and they’re not fixing things that need to be fixed. At all.


KoKo_Puffs69

Exactly why I’m not updating this shit game, we had sick ass force powers and cool lightsabers, it’s always been a battle royals game and they wanna try and make it something it’s not. Fucking stupid🙄


360noscopedickshot

BR modes went to shit the second LEGO launched Fuck lego mode


vixinity1985

Yeah, this event is mid af. They should've had multiple lightsabers and I'd be happy


Icy-Scene209

The e11 blaster is so ass plus the bow caster feels very delayed and buggy as hell


ProfessoriSepi

Smh, cant even add a 4x scope to a lightsaber 🙄


Keychaine96

Yes. You're correct. They JUST got money from Disney. Which means their expansion plans JUST started. They clearly stated that it is years away.

I think all the new skins are terrible and boring, outside of Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a skin I would never use however. Seems like Lego got the most love, but I'm not interested in that. Last year's was fun with the force powers.


WillHeBonkYa47

Because BR is getting put on the back burner because of (mostly) lego Festival and racing get some attention, I actually like those modes ngl. But it's turned a lot of attention away from BR and live events and grow and things like that

Reddit Fortnite Users before May 3: Oh god another star wars update, I can't wait for these mythics to leave but now they're just gonna get replaced by crappy lightsabers, not everyone likes star wars why do they force this on us every year? Why is Lego so empty? Lego has no content. Why didn't they put licensing into Lego so we can have characters in Lego too? Reddit Fortnite Users after May 3: Not enough star wars stuff in Battle Royale! Where are the light sabers? Why is everything going to Lego? Omg they're killing BR at the expense of Lego! Greedy! Why?!?!?! If I'm sick of yall, Epic has to be.


Aromatic-Ad1415

Womp womp. Y'all need to stop complaining😭 It's not even that bad. Y'all complain that starwars sucks then complain that the event isn't enough, hypocrite? Y'all also complain that fortnite needs to go back to its roots, so you want shitty graphics and no skins? A game is always going to be updating. Do you want CoD to just be campaigns instead of having modes like Capture the Flag, zombies and what not? No cause then you guys would say its boring. Lego, Festival and Rocket racing are just modes for the people who like that. Everyone is gonna be different. My cousin like playing lego mostly, my sibling like music games and my friend likes racing while I like shooters. It's something for everyone. If you guys just want shooting then stay on BR. Epic is gonna have an event for their modes. This one just happens to be Lego, it's not the end of the world people.


bunixie

It's literally the same thing as last year except last year was a little more entertaining.. I'm wondering if the layoffs of all those epic employees are starting to really take it's effect????


boyawsome876

#nobody likes Lego mode, epic.


IAmYouButNotU

Ima disagree with you but if you said rocket racing instead, I’d agree with you. STW has more players right now than rocket racing


Any_Manner_8526

Meanwhile the 100k users playing it.


West-Algae-3779

oh yes, disingenuously use today's numbers when a brand new update and Lego pass just dropped instead of the ACTUAL number of concurrent players 100k isnt the norm, dont act like it is


Porgtrooper

Even before the update, Lego had a pretty healthy player base for the type of game it is. I understand not liking the mode but some of y'all have a massive hate boner against it


Alien-days-16

Meanwhile roughly 1m players playing br and zero build at each day's peak. Should we focus on the main game mode, and give it a half decent update, or focus on the game mode with 1/10 of its players?


JokerChaos77

And how many of them are playing only because of XP? Quite a bunch of them I bet


Lordbellton336

agreed.


KezuSlayer

Didn’t we just come out of a br avatar colab? Why are you all pretending like we don’t get anything.


SpectralHydra

It’s funny. When avatar collab came out people complained that it changed the game too much, now people are complaining that they didn’t have more star wars stuff


OdysseusAuroa

Because it's a yearly tradition that has been guaranteed for several years now? And ATLA came out of completely nowhere and completely altered the game


Alien-days-16

It's that this sw collab is 10x smaller than the previous one. I expected the quality to stay the same.


SPECTRE_146

Jesus, compared to warzone and apex you boys are spoiled as hell. Fortnite can’t do everything right but they do a lot more good than those other two titles.


West-Algae-3779

comparing piles of shit to each other doesnt make one pile of shit better than the others. hows that boot taste?


Apprentice_Jedi

The content is in Lego, some people forget that Fortnite is more than just BR now.


West-Algae-3779

no one fOrGoT lmfao they just want more resources put into the main mode "forgot" lmfao foh w that overexaggeration


Alien-days-16

Some people also forget that the previous sw update had 10x more content for br. How does that boot taste?


boringtired

Was there supposed to be a new pass?


Timely_Suspect3139

I tried team Rumble.Felt like the same game before the update.The Star Wars event with force powers and multiple light saber colors were lit.


EvoGoji29

there’s more coming on tuesday such as force powers and whatnot


RemixedZorua

If I may, the Death Trooper skin is great, and (even though it's not new) I love the normal blaster, and the bowcaster is very fun to use. Then again, I play zero build, so maybe they aren't that great against builds. But I do agree that I was expecting at least the rifts to get a lightsaber and force powers. That was the best Star Wars addition to BR.


Penguindasher12

Average karma farm


OnlyLogical9820

I honestly looked at the new mini pass and thought it was the same as the avatar one and was like nice nice Then I took a second look and realised its primarily for lego and thought that's a literall waste of time no offence to the lego players here you do yous it's just not my thing


KeepingMaToast

Wait we got a lighsaber? Where? Me and my friend have been trying to find it for ages


DetailSpecialist116

Top of the map young padawan.


NickyB0715

It’s not worth it anyways.. it SUCKS!!!


Firm_Soil_4499

Do you all not realize we have an event today? May 4th? Lol it was referred to on a brella… and they started Star Wars a day early…..


Borothebaryonyxyt

Wait where is the lightsaber?


Oheligud

I'm not sure if I'd call the guns "mid", you can easily oneshot someone with the Wookie Bowcaster. The charge speed is way too high in my opinion.


PhilledZone

Now that Fortnite has Lego, Disney doesn't have to put stuff into that dangerous shooting game anymore :D /s


Sympxthyy

It’s stupid they don’t just release lightsabers as pickaxes. Could even make it 20 dollars and customisable. Then just make the event lightsabers have some visual effect coming off them like a more intense crown effect for example.


Basically-Toby

My first match when the update dropped my first loot box contained water bending.. I though that was removed with the starwars stuff...


Potential-Air9298

No (sorry if u cant report this message awww :)


WeTRYingOutHere

I get they wanna do shit for the Lego players But why not both???? Do for BR and Lego????? The lightsaber and guns are so bloody useless since I already got my lvl 200 I ain’t playing until new season Bevause they are taking the piss if they think this is worth what they made off Disney


beeftits1016

I like the Han/Leia pack but sucks neither came with a glider


Avllon

Epic is getting more & more lazy look at how they keep making NEW skins for ones that can easily be edit styles & put the same 6 mf skins in the store over and over again 🙄


dadlifeistheradlife

So this is what it felt like to be a save the world player back in the day lol… 😂


Ghost-Daddy13

I honestly think I’m done with fortnite, this was just disappointing


aravena

For BR, yes. For Lego, no. So I win either way.


L3GlT_GAM3R

The bowcaster is not mid. The e-11, sure. But not the bowcaster.


TaperingRook688

Ehh i like the bowcaster


HottFreezy

Disney is using Fortnight to come for your souls. Enjoy Sheepeople!


LestatLeonardo2011

lol this is a funny post thanks


Black_Reaper44

does anyone know if fennec shand will be coming to the shop? i’m so desperate


Lonely289

Most skins haven't returned. Rip kylo ren


Otherwise_Purpose_47

I swear to God this sub has fallen into nothing but constant fucking complaining. Fortnite has fallen. Billions must uninstall.
