Same with emotes: If the LEGO character can't do a specific dance, that emote won't return to the store until a lego animation is made.

Even with fortnite's original skins, they reuse themes from their own characters way too much (in the battle pass not the item shop.) What I'm saying is this new "Rust" "The Machinist" and especially that brite raider have got to go in the item shop. We already have skins like those.

[@SuperDominicS]

​@MichealAfton1983 even whether the skin is or isn't good it doesn't feel as rewarding as a unique character. Would you rather get a new character that unlocks styles or colors throughout the pass or quests like some of the chap 1 skins, or another iteration of thor or something with 1 or 2 styles and an emote. And I don't hate the collabs directly, I like some of the skins like the new iron spider and some non-skin items from c2s4 (which I don't mind because it is supposed to be a marvel season), but there are so many of the marvel skins and items that including them in the battle pass constantly feels more filler than a reward. And it doesn't help that the new item shop is just a full on catalog with the same items for as long as you need. Like it feels like a fluke when I see an older skin I recognize and like in the item shop, despite it still being overshadowed by the same collab skins in the shop for the last week.

What i don't like now is that we have bonus tiers now which, apart from the super styles feel like bloat and a way to extend play time in regards to FOMO. Why are we adding lego sets and rocket racing cars to the battle pass when it's supposed to be all about battle royale. For the lego mode if we're not getting our content in updates then why is the customization content being paywalled in the shop as well. Progressive skins were way better in concept and execution. AND i believe you could work on unlocking styles after the season had ended. Also having collab skins of some of the most iconic characters expected to never return (Gaming legends, Marvel, Star wars) is just cruel

[@froggo9539]

imo there are things that old passes do better and there are things that new battle passes do better. what I prefer about older passes: -progressive outfits (like Drift & Calamity) -having multiple emotes that actually play music -having a new type of cosmetic (like sprays, toys, wraps) introduced in every pass, tho I get why they don't do that anymore -skin styles being unlockable even after the season ends -not having collabs in the pass what I prefer about new passes: -better overall skin quality and amount of styles for each skin -less filler -less of a grind -being able to get it through the crew pack -the original skins all fitting the season's theme -the skins feeling more like characters with personality, instead of just outfits -the progression system being based around in-game levels instead of having battle stars as a seperate way of progression -2D loading screens made by artists that were specifically commisioned for them (and the artists being credited in the description)

[@89carti]

I agree with a lot that you said but also disagree with some -I think the skin quality has gone down, battle pass skins now only get one style that just has different clothing and the rest are recolors. While yes some skins back then only had recolor styles, they were made up with the multiple progressive skins that each battle pass had which all had an insane amount of styles with good quality -I think battle passes now have more filler, especially with edit styles taking up so many tiers. These styles could easily be made into challenges you get when unlocking the skin like how it was in chapter 1 but they all take up battle pass slots. Also in chapter 1 we had stuff like pets and toys that weren't filler at all -Personally I think battle passes being a bit harder to grind was better and more rewarding. This one is just personal preference tho, and I understand why they're easier now especially with bonus rewards going all the way up to level 200 -I feel like skins now don't have much personality. Compare recent battle passes to ones like chapter 2 season 2 where each skin got so much personality and attention which lead to that battle pass being so memorable

[@froggo9539]

@@89carti I'll just reply to your points about skin quality & personality, because the other points are completely subjective and I think what you said about those is fair. Obviously it's also subjective how much you enjoy current skins compared to older ones, but I feel like the edit styles we get now don't offer much less customization than the ch1 ones. For example the Brite Raider skin from this pass has 3 normal color options, a helmet on or off option and 3 super style color options. Compare this to the Drift skin where you have 5 clothing options and a vfx effect you can put on the fifth clothing style. No color or mask options at all. It boils down to personal preference in the end but I think being able to run a completely different colorway on a skin makes much more of a difference than putting a vest on it and nothing else. The point about skin personalities is a bit less subjective imo. Skins nowadays all have unique facemodels (except for stuff like Vengeance Jones, since he's a new rendition of an existing character) compared to older skins which often used one of the 8 default models. Epic also puts new characters on the map as npcs who have unique dialogue, which helps a lot. That plus having theme songs, own pois on the map and appearing in story quests just gives them more character to me. They're less iconic than older outfits of course, but that's inevitable since we have thousands of skins atp. I definitely agree on your opinion about the ch2 s2 battle pass, that one was great. Though by older battle passes I exclusively meant chapter 1 passes

[@89carti]

@@froggo9539 I see what you mean, and you are definitely right about the skin personalities. You mentioned a lot that I wasn't keeping in mind, but I still feel like these are just small things that aren't really memorable. I think they could do much better to make the personalities show more, since I feel like most people aren't really going to remember stuff like npc dialogue. Now for drift I agree he would have been better with stuff like color styles, not sure why he didn't get any color styles when both carbide and calamity, the tier 1 skins before and after him had color styles. But I'd say catalyst makes up for that, since she's the best of both worlds. Brite raider is cool but her styles don't seem too interesting but obviously that's up to preference. Her styles are just recolors and one adds a helmet that changes nothing else. She could have been so much cooler if she was somehow progressive

[@HBDiamondVlogs]

I believe you because when it comes to most of the things that we have gotten so far in the current battle passes from the past battle passes I could definitely see the past battle passes were better because they’re unified in a way where it’s challenging to actually complete and not just that but the edit styles actually felt rewarding as much as not many people care about edit styles back then when you would earn an edit style.

Those tiers that the extra styles are taking up could be replaced with something else rather than having the edit style within the battlepass. Back then, no styles were included within the pass, they were given by doing challenges and to add onto it, they were progressive too by reaching a certain level. The point is that we could be getting other rewards in place of those and just unlocking the edit styles by other means like challenges and yes we may get additional styles for completing quests and leveling up after level 100 but quantity doesn't always necessarily mean the quality is good. Instead of having 4 different colored variants of a singular skin, we could have a singular different variant that looks good or hell, a progressive skin that as you put work into it, it starts to look better and better.

Especially the old skins! because nowadays people like myself only buy the battle passes for Collab skins :/

[@bigmanarnold]

I don’t think that they were necessarily better, we were just less accustomed to the art styles of Fortnite back then.

[@bryanmb9994]

For me, what has made the battles passes less good is the removal of the evolving skins, because in fact the skins in the latest passes aren't so bad in the sense that there are some good ones like the crystal guy from season 1 chapter 5, Nisha or even skins in the season 2 chapter 4 pass like Renzo, Mizuki, the galaxy samurai chick. But for me what made a battle pass good was those evolving skins, now they make us grind on super styles, super styles have become boriiiinnng asfff, I prefer when he had two skins that you max well, I find it much more interesting than just color styles.

[@zekofusion]

Fr I miss when battle stars functioned like this and not the XP thing we have now it use to take weeks to get too tier 100 (unless you payed $$) now its just takes a week

[@Arthur_Kivanc]

Everything was so much better when we had battle stars for leveling bp

[@brandonstarstorm3289]

I agree with this, though I do have some things to say. I agree with the battle pass not needing whole pages just for an alternate style for a character, but I do like when skins are customizable and have different color variations. When you unlock the skin, a pick axe, or a glider, you should immediately unlock all color variants for it as well. I dislike when you unlock a skin and then the glider, but you have to wait a whole month for the quest reward to come out so you can unlock the glider color that goes with the skin. There's a lot of wasted space on current passes due to edit styles. It would have been cool to have Scarr on one page, and then the hyena concept art skin on the next page. They could be the same color and have different, interchangeable cosmetics that compliment each other. (Also, I'll be pissed if we don't get the hyena skin at all. I don't care if it becomes a store skin for 2000 Vbucks, that's one of the cooler concept art skins. Scarr is also one of the most disliked battle pass skins from what I've seen). With pets, I wholeheartedly agree that we need more of them. I still use a few of my pets (Some of them, I barely use because I can't unlock all the colors currently and would like a way to unlock the colors I missed). I love the little wolf back bling and use him fairly often. Some more would be nice. I know we occasionally get similar back blings like Billie's dog or the hermit crab, but more pets on the little chairs would be nice. Especially ones that are reactive, like the chameleon changing color every time you pick up an item. Finally, I'd like to say, I would love if they excluded cars, instruments, and LEGO builds from the normal battle pass. They take up space and I barely use them. Instruments should be put on the Festival pass instead. LEGO builds should not be on the Battle Royale pass at all, since they aren't usable in Battle Royale. While people say it was a free reward and didn't take up space, it still took time to develop. They could have spent that time making an extra contrail for the pass instead of something that isn't usable in the mode the pass was made for.

[@FictionFan7]

9:16 ohm was cool, it could be your contrail and glider 💖

[@yugen.mp4695]

The only problem I have with the current battle passes is the emotes most of are very forgetble and are not even dances.

[@AcousticBros69]

Ask a bunch of players if they like a basic skin with a pink and gold superstyle to show how sweaty and chronically online you are or a skin like carbide, ragnarok, omega, dire, calamity, lynx, etc. It makes the game fun and challenging in a simple way that makes you want to grind not just to show off but to feel like it payed off when you rock an awesome fully maxed out. Even with the new ones, do you like an interesting and engaging heavily themed one like chapter 2 season 2 or just another cheap money grab with a million crossovers.

[@squibmclovin4612]

I don't see how liking a basic skin with those superstyles makes you sweaty and chronically online when Lynx or even sometimes Omega are known for being used by sweats

[@ltisdabest21]

I prefer well balanced passes over ones that only focused on 1 or 2 skins while not caring about the rest for example the chapter 4 bp only had two skins with extra styles (not counting The Visitors helmet) and all the other skins no one ever mentions. I don't think I've ever seen anyone mention any other skin from that bp. All the new skins get pois, dialogue, npcs, and theme songs, while most chp. 1 skins didn't even get an extra style up until season 7.

[@pantherfox8671]

NAHHHHH I THOUGHT THEY WERE WORSE

[@CherriColaV]

Chapter 1 Season 4 was peak bro idc, No battlepass will ever beat it.

[@Monarch-lf7yc]

One thing, you cannot get the tier 100 without getting level 100, they block it even if you have enough stars.

[@idkdawg8824]

Personally they should resell older battle passes call me stupid, crazy, etc… but still some people can’t get their dream skin because it’s a locked skin from 6 years ago

[@b1uesi1ver66]

True, it would ruin the "Rareness" or whatever but then again, this would be a big win for Epic. Maybe during the OG seasons? Or something like that.

[@Junebu99ie]

100% agree with you.

[@gerbals]

You should have played back then🤷🏻‍♂️ they do more than enough reskins

[@Titanmatthew_]

Season 4- Chapter 2 Season 3 was the elite days of battle passes

[@christianurdaneta2889]

1:52 no, you cannot skip the rewards until you reach level 100, it requires you to have purchased the rest of the pass, investigate more

[@Bubba_Zero_d14a_Vrc]

Technically Master Key, Sentinel and Yon3r had an edit style at tier 99 6:42 but I fully agree with everything you said

[@gorsk708]

this video was truly mystic

[@Mrnew_vegas]

I miss the ch2 s2 pick your faction system

[@LeftyPickleMaster]

To counter the Megalo Don point, the 'choose what you want' only applies if you're getting his first version. But since you said tier 100, that would prove your point false, because you need everything else in the battle pass in order to get the tier 100 reward. Besides that, I completely agree with everything you said. The battle pass has a LOT of problems which could easily be fixed.

[@itstrulymystic]

Yes that’s what I mean’t to say lol

[@idfkboy]

Fortnite did 2 skins on the first level since season 4 chapter 1

[@Jeikno]

I believe the reason they won't bring back xp bonuses fir challenges is because of all the new modes and how much xp u can get from them

[@SheaN1026]

I’d rather them do something like Halo Infinite where they lowered the pass down to 50 tiers but all the items are quality

[@aclosedanddiscontinuedchan124]

Remember when tier 1 skins were actually good 😢

[@Death_Brigade]

I also just wish Epic would start making good skins in general for the battle pass. All the skins nowadays largely just kind of suck. Like remember Black Knight, Reaper, Rust Lord, Dark Voyager, Omega, Ice King, Catalyst, Lynx, Vendetta, or Ultima Knight? The only skins in the battle pass that have interested in me over the past couple years are the crossover skins, the original skins suck ass like 85% of the time. I rarely ever buy battle passes because nowadays there’s only like 1-2 actually good or cool skins. We honest to God didn’t know how great we had it back in chapter 1.

[@Failure_inc]

Something I really don’t like is how you have to get above level 100 to get all your vbucks it used to be 1500 vbucks in the 100 levels and now a part is put in the extra stuff

[@fruitlist]

1:54 Actually no, you can't skip to Megalo Don. You still have to unlock everything in the battlepass before you can get him.

[@skullx7657]

I wish they bought back 2 skins for battle pass again

[@tonyxultra2279]

Tbh, there are so many skins in this game. What more do we ask? Collaborations are gonna stick around for awhile with battle passes nowadays. We just had to deal with it, for now. Even though, it's sucks that it locks under FOMO. But it is what is it. As for Original skins, to be honest, I love Originality of the skins in the game. However, compare to chapter 1 battle pass skins to current ones. The current ones looks a lot better than most of chapter 1 battle passes. But I do agree that edit styles, emotcons, and sprays on the current battle pass are really filler and so bland. Now hear me out, that are some good chapter 1 bp skins that rivals or better than the current ones. Like Lynx, Drift, Omega, Reaper, peely, and Calamity are all soild. But for real, every battle passes have it's own unique rewards, and that's all it matters. But one day, I really hope that epic games would stop relying on these collaborations and bring originality and more effort into the current battle passes. Sorry for the long essay.

[@Jesus-fj3hj]

OMG I finally found a good comment on this video😊

[@hectorguy5687]

Chapter 1 battlepasses only got better when Season 5 came out

[@Deadman_Elit3]

The only reason i bought the current battlepass was for the T60 power armor. If not for that, i probably wouldnt have bought it MegaloDon is cool and the Brite Raider with the helmet reminds me of Twister from Twisted Metal 2 but I'll rarely even play those.

[@tacooty]

Those edit styles they put in the passes are often times better than the base skin and sometimes I won’t even run the base version because the edit style is soo much better. I think edit styles are a much better reward than crap like emojis and sprays. I think that newer skins having lost of edit styles makes them far superior because some people might only like one style.

[@Xornys6138]

If the past was a person, he would answer: « cry about it »

[@Reflux_E]

Personally I like the stars system cuz it means you can get the rewards you actually want sooner but I do with the rewards would be a bit more varied, I feel like a mix between the old system and the new would work best

[@DJ_Wolfy5]

You still have to reach tier 100 to claim the final reward.

[@Asami_Real]

tbh, i just wish epic gave us newer players a chance to get the older battlepasses, and maybe bring back older seasons in a more effiecent way. oh and stop the item shop rotation. but yea, i see old battle passes and i just feel like i missed out on so much, i hate fomo and how epic is using it they need to fix so much with the game but they just wanna focus on getting as many collabs as possible as if quantity is perferable over quality (it isnt)

[@ToastyOtaku]

Fr, it sucks butt now.

[@Asami_Real]

@@ToastyOtaku exactly, im rather new in actually playing the game consistently, like epic could make the game so much better but insteads does crap like remove rarities and other things that NO ONE asked for

[@originalname4701]

I do think the older battlepasses were better overall, not to say there's not been any good ones in recent years there have been plenty that I enjoyed. However, I think Older Battle Passes were definitely better, modern Battle passes for some reason seem to have less stuff overall, which is rather unfortunate, modern battle passes also use the Battlestar system which has its pros and cons. Now instead of getting something every level you get something every 3 or 4 levels. One other thing that I'm not sure of, is that tier 100 skins have been replaced by variants of the skin on the previous page. I'm not one to turn down skin variants, but I also would like it if they didn't sacrifice tier 100 skins.

[@Peterbotusesdma1234]

Rip to the people who have started with last year

[@cherries7734]

I remember when Battle Passes were filled with ORIGINAL skins and not fucking Spider-Man or some shit I love Spider-Man as u can see from the pfp but like why u adding his ass to the BP bro where's the originality of the BP where did that go Edit: before someone comes at me thinking I didn't get Spider-Man, I did get him, I just think it's lowkey dumb as fuck for fortnite to take one of the most popular superheroes and lock his ass up behind a battle pass... Yeah you can argue that there were other Spider-Verse characters out there, Spider-Man 2099, Ultimate Spider-Man (miles morales), Tom Holland Spider-Man, even Spider-Gwen. But MOST people when they think Spider-Man, they think the classic suit with the red & blue colors.

[@tonyxultra2279]

Skins are just cosmetics. Not really that special unless it's a collab.

True man sucks Spiderman has to be locked in bp forever 😢 unless they create a new Spiderman skin for shop or sum

if yall didnt realize that games now are becomin way worse than the way they were back then call of duty is now bad just as the fortnite battlepass ,,,,its just that they are mostly interested with the money not the players benefits

[@melonmale]

To expand your point on the on seperate free and paid battle pass, i believe that the toal amount of rewards we got was 125 ish. which, guess what is the roughly the exact same amount we got for not just completeing the battlepass, but the ''bonus" rewards and, the quest rewards (which includes the base versions of some items???) and the 'secret' styles. They are just FOMO filler.

[@Megalon-qc8pf]

Yeah. I do, sometimes there were ACTUALLY more then 1-2 good skins in 1 battle pass.

[@ltisdabest21]

Get better preferences then.
