Fortnite's OG Battlepass Return Is Causing Division In The Community

[@genericfriend2568]

Look, I'm an OG player, been around since Chapter 1 Season 3. I don't care anymore about unlockable skins. I play this game with my family members and everybody deserves a shot at their favorite skins. There's a household rule that we have where I can't use his favorite skins because it breaks his heart and mine knowing he can't get Superman, a skin I'd willingly give to him if I could. The game's 7 years old now and it's not fair to force these children to go without. I understand more adult skins being left in the dust, such as Predator, but it's not cool to leave them out of Superman and stuff like that.

If they make a come back I’d love to have the OG players obtain an extra edit style (I’ve been playing since cht. 1 szn 2)

[@Kataruff]

Since they are adding an OG game mode they should just release the battle passes with it. Make it cost the same, have the same rewards, and the same grind that everyone else had😂 I’ve been playing since the beta version but haven’t bought all the battle passes especially in the beginning but have most of them and I think 7 years is enough gate keeping time😅 If each season of ch 1 will be a month long I’m not sure they will do this since that’s not enough time, but I kinda wish they made the seasons the exact same amount of time, same weapons and map and movement and just let everyone earn the battle pass rewards from old seasons the same way everyone else did. It would technically be harder if you wanted to also play ch 6 and earn those rewards, but still give people a chance at least😢 Epic would make so much off of doing this since everyone would be playing more and looking at the item shop everyday and I personally don’t see a problem, I think it’s better than just reselling skins we had to grind for in the shop🤷🏼‍♀️ Or at least allow trading! There are so many skins I don’t care about I know others want, and some I missed.

[@ilyvnmpire]

you play fortnite?

[@DefMM123]

Same here played since the beta but I was a student and didnt buy a pass until much later on so just bring them back it benefits all players

[@ilyvnmpire]

@@DefMM123 i moved to usa in mid 208 and i didnt know what fortntie was because we had no phones. so in the end of 2018 we had a phone and my cousin was playing on her ipad they wouldnt let me play so i said fine. and then when i got acces to my dads phone i started playing fortntie and every season goes my account logs out and i had to create new account. i played from season 5 to season x with my parents phone and they were strict so when chapter 1 begin they bought me psn and now i can finnaly play but i still regret not buying the pass when i can back then it was 10 dollars so i think epic should bring it back for people that didnt get to experiance it like me and bunch of others its a big profit and big playerbase so i agree on that!!

[@l2488l]

I think the best option of the ones you mentioned is the selectable styles for the og's. I will quickly go over why i dont think the other solutions are as good. *The one with the lights*: Only season 4 has skins with lights plus if someone had omega for example and didnt unlock the lights that guy wouldnt get any exclusive item. *Being able to buy only the passes after you started playing*: Most of the community simply wasnt present back then so it wouldnt make much sense and it wouldnt make epic a lot of money.

[@FatalDyZr]

Nah no OG styles, this whole mess started because of that.

[@l2488l]

@FatalDyZr Well epoc can't just screw over the og players like that right? I mean I wouldn't be that bothered myself but I can see that it would be unfair.

[@Gingersdad]

A lot of people who started in chapter two and chapter three are the ones who wants the battlpasses to return missing out on a bunch of seasons where they either took a break or couldn’t play for whatever reason they would have like two or three whole chapters of battle passes which is a lot and most of the community

[@DefMM123]

@@FatalDyZr Agreed there's no need, players compensation was having years to have and use skins like these exclusivity is garbage for a game in the long run

[@Comicedits39]

@@FatalDyZrif We shouldn’t get any compensation then you shouldn’t get the skin 😂 fair game

[@FuriousKai]

i would like if they let the old players who didnt get to buy the skins buy them again since epic knows when u created your account

[@clanka5509]

The only downside would be little Timmy spamming take the L 💀

[@FlipflopMount222]

Bring them back and give us edit styles that's the one solution, and I've seen people saying "don't give them edit styles" well, that's too bad because we were led to believe that these items have a FOMO "will not be obtainable again" label slapped onto them and so the people were preasured through FOMO at the time to buy them there and then or miss out. I know some new gens don't like that, but it's how they put it, it's what they lead people to believe and so for that they should give them special styles and just let the new gens but the cosmetics that they wanted from the battle passes. At the end of the day, you can't please everyone and this is the most realistic solution.

[@SpreadingOfGodsWord]

I like the first Option bevause they do know when we started.

[@drewstoppa]

i think they should just let whoever bought the battlepass and didnt finish it still be able to get it but they should make a remix version like how they did with fn og

[@VirusNightmares]

Look, I'm an OG player, been around since Chapter 1 Season 1. Never bought a battlepass until Chapter 2 Season 2. also skipped a few seasons because for me it became boring at the time but would not be against old battlepasses returning. for example: i bought the Chapter 2 Season 5 battlepass way to late to get stuff like the Predator Outfit and missed out😟 P.S. Love the idea of account creation being the part of being able to buy old passes or not

[@SmoodGraphics59]

I started playing chapter 1 season 4 never finished the battle pass so I can understand why people want them back and I would like to get a second try on the battle pass but in the end, I would only buy the battle pass as I want, and the rest is irrelevant to me

[@YATL45VA]

As long as they give the og owners a special style to show that they are OG’s then it’s fine

[@Sting1986]

Dude it is easier for them to change some colors on a skin (og edit styles) then for them to come up with a new one (idea, design, color, new model...)

[@SassyCheetah-HRATB]

i was thinking just make the og passes cost a little more and add a star near your name if ur using og things that u got from before they came back

[@Michaelrocks9876]

They done said they wouldn’t rerelease old passes before the marvel pass… if they do I better get a 1500 vbuck grant for every one!

[@KhamariHarris-c1i]

If they don’t do this then I always said it would be great to just allow account cosmetic trading so I can get gifted skins and other cosmetics from my friends lockers

[@Dunkinarts]

Man I just wish people would let others be happy. There are skins I really want too man. I'm new and didnt really realize these passes were exclusives and honestly I would just let people play the battlepass they want. Heck I don't even mind grinding it. Also I don't know if restrictions are a good idea. Just let people grind through it like og players

[@weskintime4177]

The biggest outcry is coming from the people breaking ToS by selling accounts so if it does indeed happen it will be amazing. If it doesn’t then accounts will continue to be sold anyway. I started in C1 S2, Save the World player. Missed the S2 pass because I hardly played BR until season 4.

[@KingFuriousFire]

see this is one thing I reckon is the reason everyone is saying too bad you just have to deal with missing out, because they want the chance to sell their accounts when in reality they are stealing other peoples money because they breaking tos and the account just gets banned, so really this should happen so it stops this happening at such a large degree

[@Danny_Delorean]

Honestly the only area you’d see the real extent in toxic behaviour would be areas of creative and party where the flexing is huge get rid of that and hey everyone is on the same page

[@Gingersdad]

First ideas The best I would love the s3 bp as someone who started in s3 I didn’t have time to get the bp because my brother who introduced me to the game said to get the next battle pass because it was in less than a week so I waited man I regret. Bruh

I got orange justice tho 🙌

[@clanka5509]

Season 4 hurt my soul beyond belief account level 79 when it ended. Omega is cool asf but not having the lights is saddening

[@unkreativ7047]

imo maybe release it in different colors like the black knight but in red

I feel like they’re gonna go the og style route

[@skullx7657]

Community now can’t be happy for nothing

[@KhamariHarris-c1i]

I don’t care if they bring it back and I didn’t have Season 1-4 chapter 1 even though I started in season 3 and I just made a new acc couple seasons ago since I forgot my old acc information. So yes!!! Let us all enjoy the cosmetics it was gonna eventually happen anyway

[@turtleeater2720]

My nephew wants Superman so bad bring it back ❤

[@camcane1]

Imma OG player who owns every single Battlepass skin and I think the best option is for Epic to just leave the exclusives in the past. Fortnite loses nothing by keeping these skins locked forever. They'd gain a couple million in sales, but that's about it. Eventually the newer player's cries will be tuned out, hopefully. Fortnite loses more by walking back their word imo. Don't say/imply one thing then switch up (I'm aware of the loophole) Skin culture is interesting when rarity is a thing. If everything is attainable ,it becomes...lame. I'm not afraid to admit that I like having what most don't have, even if it's virtual pixels lol

[@KingFuriousFire]

too be fair though locking stuff out from others is just never right, not only would epic continue to make money from more and more newer players joining they'd also have a better picture to themselves because they'd be the first game to appeal to all because they would without a doubt compensate original owners, so they'd make good on all measures, rarity never really eisted in terms of fortnite since items that are deemed rare is only because of two reasons hardly anyone uses them and millions of people own said items, an Item is only rare when a small limited quantity of them is released maybe from 100 to around 10000, anything more is really just an average sold product, I get that exclusivity should exist but battle passes, crew packs and anything else sold directly in the game shouldn't be exclusive for any reason, stuff like quest rewards I can live with because you are not paying anything and stuff sold/given outside the game too make sense considering you have to go out of your way to get it, not just earning it in game. also one last thing, people won't stop asking considering it's a live service game, experience of a game is timeless and people will continue to look back on what they missed, this has been a thing where people have requested some sort of way to go back to older battle passes since the release of chapter 1 season 3, it's grown more and more over the seasons.

[@drewstoppa]

i think if u bought the battlepass and u didnt finish it you should be able to get the rewards but if you didnt buy it u can buy the remix battle pass for szn 2 fn OG

[@5starben_]

I think its only gonna be chapter 1 gang if there js gonna add chapter 1 back

[@Sting1986]

They will not bring old battle passes just for the people who didn't finish them. And how is that fair to somebody who spend 100$ last days of the season to max it out.

[@felps501]

and how is it fair for ppl that wasnt even born i played c1 and i think it still isnt fair bringing battle passes and giving og styles are the best option

[@gale-lucas]

W yapping, thank you for the vid

[@BlkBornSeed]

Let's face it, Fortnite has the potential to far exceed GTA V in a longevity since. They are constantly attracting new kids and even adults. My point is that why would the company mess over themselves by missing out on profits? It's literally less than 1% of people who own "OG" skins that were around for chapter 1. Not a made up number you people look this up. Now that's not including players who don't play or got their accounts deleted. So look at it this way, why would epic screw over not only themselves but their new fanbase over the less than 1% of their fanbase? When you have kids, your kids will want to play Fortnite. Imagine never getting to experience reading Spider-Man comics or movies because you weren't born the time he was created and the company is like oh well that's too bad. That's how people sound when it comes to iconic skins. Fortnite has the potential to be a brand like Hello Kitty, it just never gets old. Which is why Disney is so invested. If they want to stay in business as long as Disney they have to make Disney moves! I just don't think it's a good business move in the long term if they don't. They pay people top dollar that are educated with all this. I say that because I'm sure they forecasted this needs to happen to not only peak, but keep there numbers up there consistently.

[@Al99NextGeneration]

At this point no one cares about Chapter 6 😅

[@jerryrobinson6665]

to be honest...alot of those old battle pass skins weren't all that great honestly. there to me, were like 12 or maybe 15 out of allllll those battle passes that were good

[@KingFuriousFire]

see I can agree with this but there are still items that are really cool and I want others to experience them and let them enjoy the items that are just collecting dust in all of our lockers

[@jerryrobinson6665]

@KingFuriousFire they are definitely collecting epic dust..lol. I think everyone should be equal and have a chance to own them as well. some new players were either too young or weren't even born yet to play ...now...7 year old wanna play and like it. let them have fun too and have skins they want. after all...its really just a game.

Ur so smart bro love this

Why do new playes even want our og cosmetics so bad anyway like why are new players are so entitled to thinking they should get things that epic said was limited time

[@__dinho]

​@@SamanthaKandipeople couldve seen those skins in Posters or arts in general before they could ever play, I for example got a Poster of c1 s5 and loved drift and rook's Design, yet I can never obtain them because I didint have a console at the time

[@camcane1]

Nah people just like rarity. People like having special/rare items. It's cool. Whether it's virtual pixels, cars or shoes.

[@__dinho]

@camcane1 people only like rare stuff for their value, but fn skins dont have a price since they cant be sold/traded

[@FlipflopMount222]

​@@__dinhopeople collect things as a hobby whether it be real life items or in game cosmetics it doesn't matter. When they slap a FOMO "limited time" label onto something, it entices people to wanna get it, that's how it works. And I'll never get the "it's just pixels it's pathetic," thing because that can be said for the people who keep bringing this subject up and making countless videos on the subject.

[@Avragefortniteplayer1]

Atleast epic should let me finish my old passes I dint finish

[@chainedupdelinquent648]

Im tired of seeing this. Stop believing everything that's on the internet and social media. Epic made it clear. The time they said that older battlepasses are not being touched. What is so hard in understanding English or comprehending. Even more than extremely doubt epic is gonna do it anyways.

[@FatalDyZr]

IT IS NOT that serious bro😂 you look really weird fighting tooth and nail for these items to not come back, you need to find a hobby or sum bro cause gatekeeping is NOT it😂💀❌

[@__dinho]

Old bps got moved to an kind of offer catalog, so they can bring back, it would make them alot of money since some iconic fortnite emotes and skins are locked behind those bps
