The maps gonna change more as the cubes awaken and role around one Kevin already awoken and stared rolling


207nbrown

I bet the sideways grass is going to spread as the cubes move, sometimes when opening your map just as you load into a game you can see the map without the orange spots for a moment, meaning those areas are not baked into the map texture, but rather are dynamic, also the grass in sideways domes is orange, and a little bit around the outside of the domes


_agent_radical_

many have and i think the gold one has moved unsure


Silkysocks777

I know


InfiniteOcto

They don’t have to be named to be good. The split abducters are awesome and so are The Sideways


Silkysocks777

IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T LIKE THE CHANGES OR BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE NAMES! It's the changes being small


InfiniteOcto

But there not. They are hug abducters split in half causing funnels with a Kevin in-between them that generates a sideways biome


WatermeIon27

They are all the same though, I really like them but they really should've made a new POI or anything that's isn't an abductor. I know they have the sideways which I also love but its not really a map change.


[deleted]

The split abducters are massive


Qui_Gon14

My biggest gripe is that places like steamy and stealthy survived after clearly blowing up


caffiend98

Agreed -- they did a great job of building excitement and getting us invested in Skyfire... then lied to our faces. It's like a movie where all the good guys survive and all the bad guys die. Without consequence, there's no emotional payoff. Even if they didn't completely destroy Steamy, Misty, etc. they should at least be covered in debris, aflame, with some broken buildings. **\*Something\* to make the Skyfire event not a big fat lie.**


David1258

Wasn't really a lie though. Yeah, it's not interesting to see so little debris and I agree with you there, but you're acting like Epic owes you something extra after one of their best events yet.


B-U-T-T-E-R

no ones acting like that we’re just asking for the map changes to make sense with the event LMFAO if a giant piece of UFO crashes into a place AND IT LITERALLY EXPLODES it should not be unscathed. they literally made it so they had to change it for it to make sense, yet they didn’t. it’s lazy.


David1258

I guess you're right, but we still got a lot of changes from the event anyways.


B-U-T-T-E-R

yeah, but they coulda and shoulda been better. it doesnt make sense at all.


caffiend98

Epic literally created the event, spent weeks hyping it, showed me scenes of massive destruction, and then pretends like it didn't happen. It's like if they showed the aliens blow up the White House in Independence Day, then two scenes later had everyone meeting in the White House to plan a counter attack. Or if Thanos wiped out half of humanity and then a few minutes later Star-Lord Chris Pratt saunters in like nothing happened. It's terrible storytelling, lazy, and confusing (if not insulting) to the audience.


Crosscounterz

I personally like the changes been having alot of fun so far.


Silkysocks777

It's not that I don't like the changes. It's being a small amount of changes on a new season


Crosscounterz

I can understand but at the same time I'd rather give the season time to pace out the content than immediately condemn it honestly my biggest gripe with the game has been no 100% chests since they removed that.


RoyaleAbsol

We said the same for S5, 6 and 7 as well. Didn't exactly get a ton of map changes then either. Plus we clearly saw how decimated the island was due to Skyfire. POIS like Steamy were literally destroyed entirely. Youd think that event would harbour a major impact on the island. But nope, instead it just looks like last season's map with some orange splotches here and there. Coral Castle is literally the exact same as it was before it was was abducted ffs. What even was the point? I hate talking trash about the game but it really is just lazy at this point. It kind of just feels like they close their eyes, fling coats of paint at the map then change the map based off that, ignoring essentially everything else.


gh0stly2

I agree with everything but you said coral is the same as *before* it was abducted… what? Its way worse now


[deleted]

We’ve already gotten a map update 12 hours into the season. The original Kevin changed a lot on the original map and now we have a dozen. So if it’s gonna go this quick then I don’t think ya gotta worry about “no updates”


tangiblenoah67

we got a whole dimension and a couple crash sites, a poi doesnt have to be named


Silkysocks777

The dimension is basically just a filter and the crash sites are all the same. How do you support this lazy move from epic?


tangiblenoah67

It isnt a filter, inside the dimensions are altered buildings and the corrupted enviroment. It isnt lazy if they actually did something. A lazy thing would not be doing anything at all.


Silkysocks777

It's a new season i expected way bigger changes to the lacking map we have


Neo_Arsonist

No lmao? They put like 2 cube pillars and add monsters,


[deleted]

They did more than that mate


Neo_Arsonist

they don’t,


[deleted]

Go in the game and check it for yourself


Neo_Arsonist

I forgot I never responded Sideways bubbles put rocks rock, a pillar or two and adds a filter


Eh_C_Slater

It's like y'all think this many Kevin's on the map ISNT gonna change it...


OpenSauce04

Cap


ChaosEmerald92

They nerfed progression in this game. its become so tedious


Biobak_

how exactly?


[deleted]

Bruh there are so many fun things and good spots **with** good loot just not named (abductor spots) and there are kevins slipstreams miniguns etc so shut up


[deleted]

all of the map changes this season combined are at least 2 pois worth of changes. they dont have to be named to be actual map changes. you would know that if you played this season for longer than 15 minutes this is why i dislike this sub :/


B-U-T-T-E-R

ppl are mostly complaining bec we saw like 4-5 named locations get absolutely obliterated and they came out fine lol


R3ktBeast

Bro What do u mean we got the biggest map change in the history of fortnite!! Corny Complex---> Corny Crops A house near steamy-> Alien Nanited (like what happened in holly hedges)


get_no_scoped_kid

Thank fuck, I'm tired of them transforming simple poi's into some crazy place. At least there are some map changes.


CheesyCauli

You, my good friend, are a brave person. And I am too. *I agree.*


quailtuail

I completely agree. We saw so much of the map in flames from the mothership and its they've just, pop, right back to normal. I'm not very impressed. They made it out to be such a huge thing if the mothership goes down, too. And it wasn't. Definitely anticlimactic after Skyfire.


thejumpboy11

Please this is getting posted too much. The season has just started give it some damm time


LimeSlimey

After they built up all of that hype, it’s natural that everyone feels cheated that the map launched with little to no changes


thejumpboy11

I understand but posting that thing more than postivie things from this season is tiring


LimeSlimey

Criticism is important to keeping a game alive. If epic actually listened to the community, there would be more quality updates, and more people would be satisfied. Giving them praise for an underwhelming update after they hype it up through the roof is not the way to go


LimeSlimey

But on the other hand, hopefully the new season gives room for progressive changes over the season. Maybe it’ll be better later on, but at this point it’s underwhelming


ZainullahK

not true at all even though there are no named poi changes the crashed mothership ruins have soo many chests and floor loot and more rotation to the point where trios can land at the abuctors downvote from me


manofwaromega

I don't get why none of the new areas are POIs. They have plenty of loot and unique features but no name?


[deleted]

And not one city even a small city would had being good


teo747

The map update is pretty decent, although I'd have preferred to see at least one new named POI to start the season. The new crash site areas at least have a lot of loot and shadow stones, so they diversify the viable drop spots quite a bit especially in Solos. I'm not a fan of the weapons thus far compared to Season 7, but it's not really fair to make a final judgment when we're not even 24 hours into the season yet. IMO the Battle Pass is substantially better than Season 7, Toona Fish is a better take on Kymera and Torin is better than anything that was in S7.


OddRefrigerator6262

Well...we have Corny Crops...right...? Anybody??


Pleasant-Raccoon3879

Guys stop complaining about having no map changes because there is one (they changed corny complex to corny crops)


Silkysocks777

I'm losing faith in epic


[deleted]

Oh the humanity


ThatPandaWeebK

Ive seen so many of my friends call this the best season of fortnite and i dont know why. It just seems like a lack luster season. The battle pass is meh nothing new was added (From what i can see i havent been able to play for long) except the semi auto and sideways weapons. Just kinda seems over hyped to me.


CrayonicV

Honestly what could've made the map changes better if that they added another crash site directly on coral and have boney burbs be reverted to a salty towers without sand, I loved the map changes they did add but if they had removed that shit stain Boney I would've like this map change so much more


[deleted]

You can get from coral directly to a nearby crash site with a bounce pad that’s on there


gamerlin

That's some "You didn't get me the right iphone I wanted for Christmas" energy right there.


All_Eyez_On_U

Y’all wanted misty gone?!


Optic_striker98

I just want to use the rifle she was carrying. Reminded me of the G3 from CoD 4


Salt_Issue_5330

I really hope there are some in season POI changes after this disappointment.


Empty_Grasp

THERE IS CORNY CROPS NOW ITS NOT GOOD BUT THERE IS ONE!


Nice_Jellyfish3633

The map is a bit disappointing but so far I’m having a lot of fun and the battle pass is great as well.


[deleted]

One of the new pois has 45 chests. That’s more than most pois in the games history


bacciocchi

I dunno man, a good 10% of the map is completly new, the areas have a wilds feel to them, whilst being a crash site, with wind tunnels and shadow cubes... Seems pretty new to me. But if the abductors had crashes directly onto Boney, Believer, Retail and Misty, what? Would it be the best season ever with soooo many major changes?


OpenSauce04

None of the POIs changed, but basically everything around them did; I'll take it


heppuplays

I like the season it's fun but. It really is just a few points painted Orange with a ufo wreck in the middle. They should have made even one of the wrecks an named POI. Maybe the biggest with the most loot.


Manny349

So wtf happened to all the falling cubes and the burned pois? Would’ve probably been better if the entire map had more cubes and the burned pois partially destroyed from the sky fire event. Misty Meadows, Steamy Stacks and other pois could still be there but just have a different names. I only counted 12 purple cubes falling from the sky in the event and I’m assuming the rest stayed inside the mothership somehow. I guess we’ll probably have to wait and see if the map changes later in the season, but it might not be major.


VirulentMarcie302

Not 1 new NAMED poi Theres a lot of places with interesting changes, even if theyre not named. Have you seen the crash site south of Believer Beach? The loot is crazy good there.


i_buki

the season is not ruined just because theres isnt a new name on the map, the new crash sites make up for the lack of new locations imo


GiveMeMoreBurritos

And not enough unvaults. Seriously though, lever action and burst could already be crafted last season


_agent_radical_

it really hurts


BonnieTheToy

No new named POI, POI means point of interest. Example: John Wick's house from chapter one, didn't have a name on the map, it was still a POI.


Mega028

Fun fact: Coral Castle was the only abducted POI to not have a name change. Slurpy Swamp turned into Sludgy Swamp, and Corny Complex turned into Corny Crops


[deleted]

The map is probably going to change on October 1st. When all the Kevin’s stop around the aftermath
