I’d think the competitive community is defiantly gonna complain so it would come unfortunately… THOUGH IT WOULD HE SICK! Maybe yeah they just put the block (a larger version then the C1 since pois are kinda large so a tiny one wouldn’t make sense) and every 2-3 weeks it gets replaced since with the larger size I feel like it needs more of a ‘adaption’.

[@IronPikachu724]

I feel like a good "concept" for a Block 3.0 is combining the aspects of both of them into a working thing. We have it to where The Block is an actual POI (or heck, maybe a landmark would make it seem cool as well), and a voting booth near the thing for you to vote for which creation you'd want to see the next week or so. To make it fair for creators getting their builds accepted, there would be a system where the losing builds would get shuffled back into the deck of remaining builds for vote, and the second to last week would shorten the options to 2 instead of 3 (or however much they decide to put in on the vote), then the votes stop at the end with the last option being there by default on the last week. To prevent accidental rigging, they dont cost gold and dont auto-select an option for console players, and since they dont cost gold, they dont function like the funding stations where they drop minis after voting, but maybe XP would be a nice replacement to get people to vote (it also prevents people with max gold to vote multiple times for their favorite to rig the votes from casual players, but they can get the vote XP in different matches, making it a good place to stop by). That's all I got for a suggestion, and I'd say a landmark size location makes a bit more sense to keep other locations the season's new POIs in a spotlight, but still making this a good side landing spot, also tried to keep things balanced with the smaller location and puting precautions that give a reason to stop by, but not make it too powerful and in a small group's power on who will be featured next.

[@ShadowDemon_4]

The quote at 5:15 reminds me when they first started censoring skin styles because they had guns, knives or any other kind of weapon they didn't want kids to see. Which is on a game where you kill people with multiple kinds of weapons.

Fortnite should bring back the block and if they do the creations in it should be themed around the season's theme like this season is Apocalyptic meaning the creations would be Apocalyptic themed and the block 2.0 was rigged but we need the block 3.0 maybe we can have that this Summer with this season being called Wrecked and Megalo Don's wasteland is wrecking the island we could have a block 3.0 to rebuild places that have been Wrecked by the wasteland

I'd love to see The Block return. The POIs we got while it was on the map were insanely creative and fun to drop at (with a few exceptions like the huge turtle). With the introduction of Creative 2.0 and tons of new galleries, the creative potential for these POIs is through the roof. I hope Fury's inappropriate behavior hasn't discouraged Epic from doing community collaborative efforts like these, since the Block hasn't returned, and we haven't seen a single skin concept make it into Fortnite since Harmony Lee was scrapped.

I think a block 3.0 that would be cool is an entire separate mini BR like what they have rumored right now where the community each gets to create one entire poi like the first Block but all over the map. Of course that might be hard/ a bad idea but it’s a possibility. Either way, I think an entire community made map officially published by Epic would be cool, but there’s a very small possibility that it may happen based on the banned Block

[@lopezz257]
