The End of Fortnite's Story...

[@wowolema]

The Fortnite story made me care more about the game, i came from Save The World, an around chapter 2, the story started to pick up, not only in enviermental progression, but also with dialogue, i like games where i feel like im part of the world, and doing quests that is voice acted and seeing events that show the reult of my efforts, eaven theo it would happen if i did not do a single quest. ( when i think about it, chapter X, where you worked for the scientist the first time is one of the fooks of fortnite for me) The story made the BP grind a little more intresting, the BP Costumes could have some or a lot to do with whats happening on the map and storyline, it felt like an evolving game with a story and world i could lose myself in to, and i noticed that i play less and less, as the story become less focused on, it could be a combination of Fatigue and Story decline, but i miss, weekly map changes, and hints, youtubers talking about whats going on, what could this lead to, and what can the event be when the story clashes with the event. Fortnite is becoming more and more child friendls, it seems like they take less and less risk, and i get less and less intrested in store items and BP skins, it might just be a me problem, or something has changed at the core of fortnite. The current season has been one ive had alot of fun with, it has had a story line, and fun co-labs like Avatar, so who knows.

They are going to do a cliffhanger on the story here just like twine peaks storyline.

The story is what made me want to hop on fortnite every day. I was so excited to learn what happened during the night, and if we had any more rumors of things. Now, fortnite is somewhat dry and plain, and I only log on like 5 times a season (maybe) to check out new collabs or play tournaments.

@CranicVTno way... chapter 4 had the shittiest story I’ve ever seen, none of it ever lead to anything big it was all just used as a Segway into the next season and then forgotten about. Chapter 2 actually had meaningful , easy to follow along with story. It actually made sense

[@soniaharper8346]

So ur basically telling me we are getting these shitty events for fuggin legos 16:52

[@captaingauntlet2530]

​@CranicVTi'm sorry but that's not even an opinion chapter 4 literally had no storyline at all (except for season 1 and that Led to nothing aswell) chapter 2 and chapter 3 were the ones with the best storyline

[@Gremlenz]

Fortnite is no longer just a battle royal. It's becoming (or more accurately) has become an ecosystem of different games. Its a newer/better version of Roblox. Epic still provides quality "headliner" games: Rocket Racing, Festival Stage, Lego Fortnite, Battle Royal & No Builds, Tournaments, and the entire Creative game mode full of thousands of custom games that are anything from fan made Battle Royal modes, Box Fights, Prop Hunts, to horror, tycoons, sport games, and role playing. Epic partnering with creators UEFN, and companies like Disney will keep Fortnite alive for years to come. It may not be in the same way we see it today with stories, lore, and a main focus of BR modes but there will be a lot more exciting things coming. Change isn't always bad. Only time will tell.

[@Jaden7Yugi]

tbh live events was one of the highest key reasons fortnite survived the period of that they could fall and fade forever(first two year likely: if they faded in 1st two year fortnite could never be as popular as it is rn), alongside constant constant updates. they dropped weekly updates fully, it was a treat to wakeup every tuesday(occasionally wednessday and rarely but sometimes thursday) and read patchnotes and later in the day stand in line to enter the game and experience the new weapons and changes. they still are doing live events but, it is not as how it was back then, for my group we even if we didnt like a specific season(say CH2 S3, or S5) but we still would gather for the live events.. the last live event i remember most of us gathered was when peely drove the shield tank to the mech, and that was also a let down(live events peaked with CH1S9 mech vs catus. last two year was dry of events and almost all of my group are parted (except for the OGs first few week, but they didnt stayed for the event either).. i dont think people will ever care for live events as much anymore(Ch3-Ch4 is a proof of that, they didnt do live events for a long time and still kids played) they will always keep losing players and i dont think they will ever have a big chunk of pie of player base that have been playing for more than 5 years, there will be times the percentage of people that played for 5+ years in player base below 1%.. then they probabily realise the importance of hitting live events for their game(more than battle passes these events keep the OGs alive for atleast 1 time a season they will return for events)

[@79693]

After watching this video, I realized how perfect chapter 1 was. Nothing comes close to the excitement of seasonal events, the loot pool, POIs and heavy weekly updates. It's just not the same.

I love a storyline and if Fortnite got rid of it, I would probably quit because the game would be boring. I get if you don’t care about a storyline and just play because it’s fun, but I like the hype of the feeling of “what’s going to happen next”.

[@shaunthomasgaming]

To answer your question about anything being as exciting as the cube (or Kevin as I've learnt) is it was a fresh new game with fresh new ideas. I have (as a 1st time player in my rookie chapter) found the story interesting and the events great. I've never experienced anything like it in a game before. BUT. I think for it to be as universally big as the original items, it needs to be something as unique and attention grabbing. It needs to be something that carries the story forward better than the box did with the mythic and legends (side note, MASSIVE shame we didn't get the Kraken wreaking Snooty steps or something) the sandstorm has my interest BUT its an event to get from one season to another it's not holding this season together like previous years.

[@Badlex727]

To play off of Sypher question at about 2:45 in, I think the general population of Fortnite players don’t care too much about the interactive elements around the map, UNLESS they directly effect gameplay. The reason Kevin was so impactful (besides that this was the first time we saw this happening in a game to this scale), was because you could interact with it (bounce on it, shoot it and it would attack you, it moved around).

[@Goodgamingyt468]

I love the storyline feels Sad At their pushing it back

[@VividBoi]

Fortnite’s story being clearly tied with the world events is pretty crucial and engaging for me. It gives a sense of purpose for current metas and loot pool.

[@princemod]

As a person who really loved the Fortnite storyline, and was catching up to it as well as making even theories about it, I hate the situation it's at right now. Ever since chrome season, the storyline has been going down hill. It's as if they make a new story every season, and once a season ends, it won't have any effect or impacts into the new season. Chapter 5 is a great example. We started off with the underground and how jonsey wanted to rescue peely and they lived happily ever after. What's next? What happened to jonsey? Then we went into season 2 with the Greek mythology. It was great until I don't know, they stopped? Oh and btw, it won't have a great impact on next season, but rather making a new story. In conclusion I guess, they're just producing what I'd like to call "fillers" every season, and nothing is really clear at this point. I really hope they improve it, and somehow get into the "canon" events of what's actually happening next season.

[@ThatOneGuy_lmao]

I think they should split the Fortnite team in half - half of the team focuses on the storyline and the events and what not and the other half focuses on the game itself: gameplay, loot pool, map, etc.

[@jlmank33]

I hate the way they ended the seven storyline. I hope they bring it back and say what happens because that was bad.

[@TimelapseWTO]

People really cared about the story more than you think even just the loading screens formed a story that 90% off the players could understand and they would have a general understanding. A big reason no one cares about the mini events now is because most people lost hope in live events since the fracture event happened and because the story becomes bad. I guarantee you if there was a mini event that had to do with the old lore itd be way more hype

[@Only_Some]

I got into the game for the story, I played it because my friends liked it but unlike the other games that I play for that reason I actually enjoyed this game it was my game for a long time. story was fantastic in the characters were deep and interesting. it wasn't pay to play like all the other games out there. if they're actually done with this story I'm really sad.

Cool Anyways here's a brownie recipe:Ingredients 185g unsalted butter 185g best dark chocolate 85g plain flour 40g cocoa powder 50g white chocolate 50g milk chocolate 3 large eggs 275g golden caster sugar Method STEP 1 Cut 185g unsalted butter into small cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl. STEP 2 Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them. STEP 3 Remove the bowl from the pan. Alternatively, cover the bowl loosely with cling film and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on High. Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature. STEP 4 While you wait for the chocolate to cool, position a shelf in the middle of your oven and turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. STEP 5 Using a shallow 20cm square tin, cut out a square of kitchen foil (or non-stick baking parchment) to line the base. Tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl. Tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps. STEP 6 Chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks on a board. STEP 7 Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar. They will look thick and creamy, like a milk shake. This can take 3-8 minutes, depending on how powerful your mixer is. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture becomes really pale and about double its original volume. Another check is to turn off the mixer, lift out the beaters and wiggle them from side to side. If the mixture that runs off the beaters leaves a trail on the surface of the mixture in the bowl for a second or two, you’re there. STEP 8 Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Plunge the spatula in at one side, take it underneath and bring it up the opposite side and in again at the middle. Continue going under and over in a figure of eight, moving the bowl round after each folding so you can get at it from all sides, until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a mottled dark brown. The idea is to marry them without knocking out the air, so be as gentle and slow as you like. STEP 9 Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly. STEP 10 Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. The mixture will look dry and dusty at first, and a bit unpromising, but if you keep going very gently and patiently, it will end up looking gungy and fudgy. Stop just before you feel you should, as you don’t want to overdo this mixing. STEP 11 Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they’re dotted throughout. STEP 12 Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, scraping every bit out of the bowl with the spatula. Gently ease the mixture into the corners of the tin and paddle the spatula from side to side across the top to level it. STEP 13 Put in the oven and set your timer for 25 mins. When the buzzer goes, open the oven, pull the shelf out a bit and gently shake the tin. If the brownie wobbles in the middle, it’s not quite done, so slide it back in and bake for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and the sides are just beginning to come away from the tin. Take out of the oven. STEP 14 Leave the whole thing in the tin until completely cold, then, if you’re using the brownie tin, lift up the protruding rim slightly and slide the uncut brownie out on its base. If you’re using a normal tin, lift out the brownie with the foil (or parchment). Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into four squares and finally into triangles. STEP 15 They’ll keep in an airtight container for a good two weeks and in the freezer for up to a month.

Here's my take: UEFN was the killer of Fortnite, everyone can create everything. Events are not as interesting. There are so many things so you can play, people don't know what too choose and there is no point in even playing any map at this point.

The only thing they can make a comeback and make Fortnite popular again is to bring back og weapons and og mechanics in the game and also fix the story line and bring back live events and If they bring back this I would comeback to Fortnite but as of now I am sticking to Call of Duty Warzone. Also remove skill based matchmaking that would be fun.
