I believe the actual reason why Epic games made Peter griffin buffed instead of his original design is because he would of been much shorter than the average skin hitbox, someone even did a concept of stretching his legs and arms to fit the scale and it looked awful.

[@aparticularlydustedcoolran2448]

The fix I’ve always believed is an “early access” kinda system. Like, have a tab in the battle pass screen that lets you access previous battle passes, but there’s like a 2 year delay or something, and you still have to spend 1000 V-bucks to access them. And if the can’t get the third-party licenses back, then there just isn’t a skin for that battle pass slot.

[@ShoutyKid4684]

2 years? How about 6 months? But other than that I wholeheartedly agree

[@aparticularlydustedcoolran2448]

@@ShoutyKid4684 I feel like most seasons last for 6 months. I agree that 6 months would be ideal, but I don’t think Epic would go for it. I feel like 2 years is a more realistic timeframe for the exclusiveness to still apply.

I'm one of them I just started playing back in October Because of Michael Myers, I wasn't really a fan of the build mode of it but looking at it now there's some emotes and a couple skins I wish I could get but now that I've did my research I can pretty much tell that epic won't bring those emotes/skins back even if they charged vbucks for each individual item.

[@DatAngryMelon]

As someone who started playing a week ago, Exclusively playing no builds. Exclusivity is a good thing. That is the whole purpose of a battle pass. The players who have stuck around and supported the game for longer, are rewarded for it. The only thing i disagree with is collab skins in the battlepass.

[@supremecookie7123]

@@DatAngryMelon the whole purpose of a battle pass is to keep players engaged with the game along with new content for the battle royal, also how is having battle passes become permanent be a bad thing, all the new players would still have to unlock the old skins in the battle passes plus they would have to buy it, maybe they should make it so people can get the old battle passes but there's no free v-bucks, or if people really care about showing off how long they supported a game of all things "i'm sure epic really cares"🙄, how about they add a date on when you earned that skin, or keep the bonus skins/crew skins out of the old passes. The thing is fortnite has alot of nice skins and emotes that are locked behind the battle pass and I think it's time to start giving the old passes away so new players can play as there favorite characters or use there favorite emotes.

What’s crazy is that the Marvel and DC battle pass skins are not that hard to replace. They are comic characters! Just like Daredevil, They can easily give Spider-Man, Superman (and others) comic like Cel-shading and put them in the shop. That’s just my idea tho.

[@weirdfishes364]

[@DeterminedTorres]

Respect your opinion but the Final Swing suit from NWH begs to differ (I really love how the blue is shiny and the symbol is as good as Tobey and Andrew's) Heck, there’s the Spectacular Spider-Man suit, the Insomniac Games’ suits for both Pete and Miles (Don’t put the Evolved suit though that one is garbage) and even then that’s one of many other suits you can put in FN! As for Venom though, we already have classic and movie in the shop before, so why not add the Insomniac version too?

[@bartimusprime5652]

Absolutely genius idea. Epic hire this person

[@Mama_Yae]

Honestly the best thing they could do to fix the battlepass without pissing somebody off is to just let you complete previous battlepasses that YOU paid for. That way OG skins can stay rare while also letting people finish the pass at their own pace. It'll still keep the fomo aspect for epic since once the season is up you can't purchase that pass anymore, but players with less free time or wonky schedules can still complete it and get the rewards they paid for. If you really want people to be able to obtain the previous seasons' skins then the best way to do that without pissing one side off is to steal from valve yet again and add an in game trading feature. The supply of old skins stays the same, new players can access them, and epic could charge like 100 vbucks per transaction or something, everybody wins, except Epic's legal and IT departments who have to implement the system and all of the headaches that would come with it.

[@zerminecraftguy]

I agree with this comment

[@betabee1221]

Oh cool so BPs from like early Ch1 that I did play but couldnt buy due to lack of income would just be unavailable despite the fact I play fortnite atleast twice a week nowadays No, it should be any battlepass you had XP progress [Level 2 or higher] in you should have an option to buy & complete it.

[@betabee1221]

Also Fortnite would never have a trading system. People used Account Merging as a trading system back when it was still around and all it did was cause headaches. Ever since then, Epic has actively removed trading systems from games they purchased that still had them [Rocket League]

[@IronPikachu724]

This is a very interesting comment, but I feel like it should only apply to the normal pass and non-super level bonus rewards, with the quest rewards and the not so secret skin, giving us some alternative quests like playing a creative map with the necessary items in there... unless if that colab is very strict within their colabs to have their mythics stay longer than the contracted time. All things aside, I could get Grogu in the one singular season I didn't get lvl 100 in, C2 S5. I doubt if this does happen, that it would happen to C1 passes, especially with the seasons like 9 with their fortbytes, and also OG covered those

[@IronPikachu724]

​@@betabee1221there would be a lot of issues with that. It sounds like the Halo Infinite thing, but you have to play during that time to purchase the pass. It seems unfair to people who payed the 10 USD for that pass for someone to buy it 5-6 years later for a slightly lower price at 8.30-9 ish USD. I'm happy with what I got from my C1 pass days, it was free for me, and it feels more like an accomplished to obtain the skins back then compared to today's level system vs C1 teir system (also we don't need more C1 skin owners in the game, need a variety of skins for 5 year olds to cling onto, not the "The Reaper" skin)

[@billy7975]

Sure battle passes are flawed but they’re also much more consumer friendly than loot boxes or pay to win, the 2 previous norms. Really shows if we keep pushing back things will only get better.

[@pogarmor4576]

I feel like many other people believe that making Battle Pass skins be Battle Pass skins and nothing else, creates a sense of rarity. It makes players feel like they have a "relic" of sorts. Like a trophy, showing they've been there since the battle pass's release.

[@zerminecraftguy]

And if they remove the exclusivity many players might quit, cause I know these people only want these skins cause they’re rare

[@JanZaptor]

i must say that if they just sold the battle pass skins in the shop i think that this would be worth for the epic. When you buy the battle pass you use 1000 vbucks for 7 skins + secret, so if they put those skins from the bp but with the regular price like 2000 for legendsry 1500 for epic and on and on, this would also make profit i think and it would make buying the battle pass even more worth cuz you get more skins for half the price of a single one

[@frendamikoto]

EXACTLY. and on top of that they can still make stuff like the superstyles exclusive to the bp so they get something extra still

Battle pass skins should be original fortnite creations, whereas other intellectual propertys should be item shop.

[@theicewolf118]

You make a lot of good points. One major issue I’ve been noticing with the Item Shop is that there isn’t a good rotation of skins. Like, most of the skins were recently in the shop within the past 30 Days. I would love to see a more aggressive rotation in the shop. As in, no skin should ever be out of the shop for more than a year. I’m a bit more lenient with collaboration skins as maybe there are some weird contract stipulations that prevent Epic from re-adding them. Great vid!

[@RavenTeamLeadersSmellyArmpit]

I love the examples you gave to some of them but here's some that i'd also give some: -Doom Slayer (Doomicorn) -Spider-Man (Insomniac, Peter B (Spiderverse (it'd be cool if they gave him his robe)) -Rick Sanchez (Rick Prime) -Iron Man (War Machine (I know it's a different character but eh) -Peter Griffin (Micheal Bay Peter Griffin)

[@youraltaccount2081]

Fortnite should add a feature where every season there are two battle passes, the one for the season and another for a previous. The catch out is that you can only own one until you reach level 100 or 200 so it gives epic more money and playtime since people will be rushing to finish one battle pass to gain the other

[@someoddthings]

A comic version on carnage would actually be cool

[@rib7809]

It should still be possible to unlock rewards from passes you had already purchased and missions when a season ends by just paying an amount of vbucks and only progressing in them after reaching level 200 in the current season, being able to select only one at a time and only being able to go to the next one after completing what you started to unlock the remaining rewards.

Some skins within those Battle Passes were so amusingly designed and fun that it feel sad to seem them lost forever behind an exclusive wall...half the people who own said skins dont really use them or enjoy them, they just have them as trophies and thats it...just something on the shelve, never to be taken out and that to me its sad because there were so many i would've loved to have such as Lt John Llama, Deadpool and Meowscles. While the other varients are in a sense a...compromise...for those who couldn't get the originals, its just...i would've prefered the original concept than a replacement...just because you give me the same coat in a different color, doesn't mean i'll like the color.

[@TheReaper1557]

Why is it i see so many people complaining about making rare skins not as rare a little bit.JUST SAYING oh hey can we do whoever bought the battle pass to have an attempt at these skins? And all the fucking time i see is "NO, TOO BAD" But you NEVER SEE people with those skins. I don't think the people who have those skins are even complaining atp.

[@masterofbloopers]

Are Epic contractually obligated to keep Battle Pass skins exclusive? Is there a legally binding contract that demands Epic keep these skins exclusive, lest they face legal repercussions? If the answer is no, then there is a chance Epic could bring back old Battle Passes or Battle Pass skins, no matter how slim said chance is. Their bottom line would need to suffer first, though.

[@zombiesteve7269]

People bring up that its against the tos but that's not true at least not anymore they changed it in season x

[@DOMINNIMOD198]

During chapter 1 they tried to bring back a dog backling from a bp to the shop by doing a very slight recolour and some people of the comunnity lost the shit, so they removed it from the game and didn't try it again ever since. Since then with the crew skins they removed the text saying it is exclusive, and stated they could return at any moment in the future, but if they haven't done it yet is probabbly because fear of backlash

[@DOMINNIMOD198]

The "muh og skin, muh exclusive" people

[@dayrozo]

they are under zero legal obligation to keep them exclusive and can do whatever they want lol. and all these arguments which people make about "false advertisement" lawsuit is just a funny coping because no butthurt kid whose skins lost their exclusivity is gonna win against a billion dollar company. on top of that these companies always leave loopholes in their policies so they wont be cornered up with them in the future. mad kids wont be able to lawsuit and they wouldnt win against epic even if they legally could sue them.

I completely agree and hope epic does this, like that clip of the player getting stuck in between the tree’s “if Epic still has a heart” they’d listen, but who knows it’s a million dollar company Great video man! Keep it up 👍 ❤️

[@Nelux80]

I think that brawl stars made an awedome BP system. The rewards in BP can be bought with gems and after 1 year of the BP releasing you can buy them in the shop. That way they can sell BP for 950 vbucks, get everyone to grind it out and after a period of time sell the skins individually for the price of the rarity. That way players can get skins cheaper and epic gets a lot of people playing and players can buy skins that way epic gets a chunk of money

[@ComicNerd654]

I’m kinda mixed on the whole thing. I think epic should put battlepass skins in the item shops eventually, but rarely

[@lukel8594]

Having skins gatekept behind a battlepass from up to 6 years ago is so dumb. Especially since this isn’t cs:go with an open player market, they aren’t real items and you can’t sell/buy them in a market so they have even less actual value. I think epic should just add all bp skins to the store at full price. That way people who did get the battlepass, got all those skins at only 10 bucks while people who missed it have to pay for them each at full price.

[@DaisyFan1]

Solution: Get in battlepass = early access to all new stuff for that season for 950 v bucks + some hard work All skins and cosmetics come to the item shop after that season ends for normal shop prices. That way, people who buy the battlepass can get them earlier, for cheaper, while people who only want a couple things can wait and just buy that. For those who wait, it would be more expensive to get all of what was in the battlepass that way though, so it would depend on how much you want, and how much time someone has that they can work on the battlepass. That's how I'd fix the battlepass system.

Fortnite solved this issue for one emote when allowing players to use their locker cosmetics in STW. Before this change, the only two emotes available in STW were the default dance and ride the pony (which is a season 2 battlepass emote). To solve this issue, Epic gave all STW owners the ride the pony emote whilst giving owners of the emote from the season 2 battlepass and exclusive variant. I think it would be nice to see the return of some 7/6 year-old skins and emotes, but the players who put in the time and money all those years ago should receive compensation through unique variants of those cosmetics.

[@BasementDweller_]

I think the reason why we don’t have normal Peter Griffin isn’t because of the hot box, but for the proportions. The reason why proportions matter is because of animations. I feel like a faithful Peter model would have many clipping issues whenever you use emotes, open doors, crouching, climbing, sprinting, etc. The reason Ernie was fine was for starters his legs wouldn’t have any issues, his proportions could be tweaked without it feeling off to the character’s design. Peter being tweaked to fit into Fortnite would look off.

I think the best solution is to give you every tiers items at the end of a season if you’ve bought the battle pass, but offer extra perks if you level up to get them instead of just punishing people for not having to grind all the levels

The only tier 100 skin I really had a problem with missing was spider-gwen because im a big spiderman fan and literally have every other spiderman skin except her so its a real bummer that they drop a heat skin for one of the worst seasons

[@TalleyBellum]

For a Solid Snake alternative that's still Solid Snake The outfit he had on when going by the codename Iroquois Pliskin in mgs2 would be the perfect choice considering that they went with the mgs2 design for Raiden

[@AegonTargeryen]

I just had a debate about this and that they should bring back collab battlepasses/just plain old battlepasses and have them priced at a higher value for people who missed out on them because of reasons. The only argument I ever got was “should have played before”, when I have already been playing this game for as many years as it’s been out. I just think collabs shouldn’t be in battlepasses when the only reason they are there is to get more sales on it and being able to give an accurateish idea of how much guaranteed revenue from it being in the battlepass will be.

[@soundwavesuperiorconstruct4627]

If they do ever think of adding battle passes back I think that fortnite should add them in the shop after 2 years after its release and make it half the price of what it would actually costs if it wasnt a battle pass. And to keep the exclusivity the people that buy it wont get the bonus styles, they will only get the rewards normal styles and rewards. So they wont get the secret skin but fortnite could sell it seperately in the shop as a quest pack. Also it wont give v bucks and they still have to complete the weekly quest for the rest of the rewards

[@giowiokio]

why dont they just make a feature that if you bought a battle pass before, you should be able to unlock it at a later season with battle stars

[@Luis_Neri]

It might seem crazy what i'm about to say... from now on you can buy battle pass skin in the item shops

[@theofielden9121]

7:25 did epic watch this or something 😂

[@unclebug35]

there’s so many skins i wish i could get, having an option to go back and buy certain ones even at an induced price would be nice

[@Simperman2000]

I have 2 ideas to how they could kinda help make battle passes betters 1. Make it too where when a season ends and if you had gotten the battle pass. You can still finish it with the new season battle pass without it going away. But if you didn’t get the battle pass when that said season was going on. You can’t get it anymore 2 make it too where after a season ends. Crossover skins can come back to the item shop but the rest of it stays in that said battle pass. Because I feel like locking away crossover skins is just mean. I don’t really care if they lock Fortnite original skins because that’s their skin. But they shouldn’t do it with crossover skins Those are my ideas

[@MMDBpl]

FUTURE BATTLEPASSES CAN RETURN TO THE ITEM SHOP AFTER 18 OR MORE MONTHS

[@Yamiberryblast]

I just want meowscles I wish it was previous too

[@guffthebir72]

I dont mind not being able to buy old battepasses, i just dont want them to expire

[@Nae_ex]

7:27 I disagree with you. With the recent backlash of these practices, I see them trying to put a bandage in a cancer patient somehow.

[@SKULLPOOPL_YT]

The problem is that it is not just about skins. Wraps, emotes, pickaxes, gliders, even banner icons all come into play. We can now buy Swole Groot, but will we have his wrap and glider? Nope... Also it's not just battle passes, there have been LTMs and Seasonal events, that include items players are missing out on. It's ridiculous that you can't even get a plain black wrap, because they decided to name it Boogeyman, and tie it in with John Wick. They need to follow in the footsteps of 343, and allow players to purchase old passes/events. Halo Infinite did not initially work that way, but 343 changed things. So why can't Epic?

[@lilgoom723]

This is why Brawl Stars did it best with the catalog feature with it's skins

[@YaBoyMezmo]

The fact that they just give us reskins after a year of the battlepass being released is literally perfect

[@Cross-ns9vu]

Dude predicted the Deadpool movie skin

[@greetedfox06]

A nice way to have Epic benefit people and keep making good money, continue their old battle passes or those they don't have, by upgrading the Fortnite Crew to unlock the passes, but they can only be unlockable when the subscription is active. So you just complete the pass before the subscription ends or gonna have to continue paying $12 plus tax for them :)

[@onigiri2032]

For Eren, it should be his season 4 appearance. I feel like thats kind of a no brainer bc im shocked it wasnt a style for him in the battle pass 😂

[@astolfo-ix9]

If you bought the bsttle pass from an earlier season, but didnt complete it, if you have completed the current battlepass you should be able to choose which battle pass you would like to finish if you bought multiple and didnt finish them

[@stanshatter3875]

Replacement skins is ultimately just a bandaid to the issue of FOMO, sure it solves the problem for short term but not indefinitely. I wouldn't put it past Epic to take a gamble and conjure a way to obtain old BP's in the future since Epic is known for taking big Gambles like Zero builds or shutting down the entire game just to stay relevant. I personally think it's inevitable since more games like Helldivers 2 will pop out with high popularity.

[@washinglemon7006]

I personally think my idea works well and still keeps fomo, battlepass reruns, each season as you level up you get rewards, as you know, but what if you could pay extra to gain extra rewards from older season, each season having a side season

[@lrftfh]

i was so sad when i joined fortnite cuz i am a huge fan of star wars , transformers , fallout so i will never be able to get the t-60 power armor , optimus prime , or Darth vader i was not able to join fortnite cuz i was in a bad place and i chould not get a pc.

[@Birds_In_Crime]

I understand, I missed out on rebirth raven and carnage, locking collaboration characters behind limited time passes is scummy

[@EliFigglebottom-yy5qk]

A lot of younger players will never be able to get some of the older skins due to be not olde enough or not even born yet which is why they should let people do older battle passes

[@godsibi2699]

A trading system that lets players trade skins and cosmetics could be a solution that helps players get a chance to grab some skins they missed while also maintains the exclusivity on Epic's part. It's sort of like how Pokémon traders would trade different Pokémon. Say you're a DC fan but not a Star Wars fan... You could trade a Darth Vader for a Superman if you missed that. This way, the number of unlocked battle pass skins remains the same, and players can keep sharing skins among them to complete their dream collection.

[@KaijuMannix]

I have two more ideas you could do for Spider-Man, Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield I think that’s what he’s called. They just kind of obvious and classic at this point.

[@snakemaster254]

The main problem is just the culture around exclusive items in the game and the people who insist that items should remain exclusive purely because they either want to resell or get some sense of superiority from owning a rare item. In all honesty I would be fine with them keeping certain skins battle pass exclusive for like a season before reselling the base skin. Whether or not they keep the special styles from the pass exclusive I don’t care (for clarity I mean the non overtime skins overtime is fair to keep exclusive). Though skins overall from the pass are a better deal in my eyes as you can get skins for years on end for the price of about one rare or epic skin. Like I said though offering up the base styles of the skins in the shop should be fine.

[@usernamedjb663]

Almost like you predicted the new Groot skin

[@na3vers]

This aged like fine wine

[@Tazbgc69]

On my one game, they brought back items that you can purchase in their store that were from a past battle pass

[@Sheshoo47]

My friend and I believe that what Epic should do is add a feature where you can choose a skin from a previous Battle Pass and set it as a Bonus reward at level 101.

[@HylianBean97]

I actually like the idea of Epic doing an option to gain access to past Battle Pass seasons for those who missed out!! I hope they do this!! Deadpool, Superman, Darth Vader & Peter Parker are the most iconic recognised icons in any media available and it just sucks they are locked up Tho with the Disney x Fortnite collab, I can see Disney wanting to bring these back, there is no way Disney will agree with Epic locking those skins away since those characters will make them both the most money Those idiots who think its fine to miss out on BP content are toxic & fake fans!! I definitely wanna see old BP skins/content come back Its easy money & a win win!!

[@LilyReal]

Honestly I think that you should be able to buy a battlepass if you've played a certain amount of games in that passes' season, or if you buy the battle pass that season, you should be able to permanently complete it.

[@Justpega]

What I would prefer is that if you bought a battle pass in the past, you can complete it in the future, just new players can’t get it

[@Deathangel6590_gaming]

I started chapter 3 season 1 and missed out on alot. I was locked out my xbox for 3 seasons and missed those battle passes and didnt even have time to 100% the spiderman battlepass. I honestly wish epic would do something like call of duty mobile where if you buy the battle pass you can still work.on it even after that season has ended. It would make people happy and they wouldnt lose money because they're just adding in already existing battlepasses that were already out.

[@saber512]

I personally think this would ruin the entire point of buying a battle pass. If any battle pass I buy is still available in the future, I wouldn’t mind missing out. Because I WOULDN'T be missing out. In my mind, the battle pass would just be an early release of all the cosmetics contained inside. Why would I grind for an early release when I could just wait and buy it without the hassle of completing challenges? It’s not like I care for most of the skins anyway. I missed a lot of the old battle pass skins. I wish I had them sometimes. But I know that the game would be less enjoyable if there is no incentive to play.

[@foxtrotstormz8765]

All I have to say to this is 'LAWSUIT' since they said it won't come back to people who bought in text. So unless fortnite wants to remove the fomo factors for all battle passes and receive a huge lawsuit by people who bought old BPs it's not worth it. It's part of the selling point and will always be. Life does happen, but these seasons last 2-3 months with using IPs for attracting new players and old ones even if the game isn't that good the current season. This will never change

[@gradientredandblue4336]

Epic just put an expiration date system for battle pass items where they are no longer exclusive and will return to the item shop. I think it's like 8 months after the battle pass ends.

[@TheMostBritishBrit]

Where’d you get 8 from 💀

[@RykerRaymond]

As someone who is in the future they've added a young adult groot, a drax, and a mantis
