Most of the opinions in this video are my own, if you disagree that's totally ok! I just wanted to talk about how the state of Fortnite lately :)

[@dwerical]

Honestly in my personal opinion the reason why the end event for Chapter 3 was awful to many people was because of it's length and just yet very fast paced story.

[@kevinmark6389]

I remember the build up made me think it would probably start with us invading Sanctuary with the blimp and ship before fighting a 'potentially' losing battle against the Herald and Chrome zombies before transitioning to the changed map. I will (sadly) admit that I spent a long time thinking about my cosmetic load out and came up with a combination that was eye catching enough that I could be spotted by teammates during battles while being one that I liked. I even experimented and found a back bling that couldn't be completely chromed out by Chrome to throw in a story way of resisting being chromified. All that (I guess unnecessary) time and for nothing. It didn't help the initial waiting room gave off the air of one last calm time before a major battle.

I probably would have enjoyed it but I got glitched and I could move my character or the camera so I was stuck staring at a pot. Also lots of people got kicked out apparently. Also I don’t like that they split up teams and put you with random people even if you were in a party

[@Dutch_Van_Der_Linde534]

@Awsomeftf5 kinda hard to think since alot of times some developers can’t think of over ideas

[@sebastianolunz2062]

What really disappointed me is that for all that time I was expecting a PvE event where you had to defend the island from the chrome expansion and the Harald and eventually had an ending where you either defeated them or had to escape because of chrome taking completely over the island and beyond. It would have just been perfect but apparently the developers thought a 2 minutes cutscene would have done the work.

[@energydragon1147]

Facts, it would be even better if EVERY single player battled The Herald at once in an epic boss fight at the end. THAT would've been the best way to end Chapter 3

[@Chomik-np8rv]

Let's just say that The Big Bang event made up for it.

[@silasmaldonado8124]

I think if winning or losing actually mattered to how the map is changed, it would be a lot more interesting and fun. And it would open up the option for players to pick sides in events and show what outcome the community would like to see more. Also I think if Fortnite incorporated more natural map changing in game hints or build ups to the next season that you can interact with and don’t lead to dead ends or confusion. In my opinion event lost me when it just became a ride instead of interactive, interesting and curious happenings around the map. One last thing Collabs are cool to see your favorite characters in game but most of the time they seem to not be worth all there hype and it seems like sense they first started doing collabs they have lost a lot of their originality that really brought interest in the beginning. Thanks for reading, hope at least some people agree with me

[@TheEpicGalaxy21]

The problem is that usually the losing in an event would lead to the end of Fortnite (Reality is destroyed or whatever), so unless we somehow rebuild the Island or whatever (which people call a Win for some reason) then that's not really an option. Similiarly, it'd be pretty annoying/ difficult to have to create 2 whole different scenarios/ outcomes for an event. Especially if the decision alters the storyline in a huge way. If that decision affects the next few seasons, that means you'd have to create double the amount of season content!

[@ellisp276]

@@TheEpicGalaxy21 and they would have to make two islands for both the outcomes

[@ghosts2169]

I agree the thing that gets me to play the game again is if the map changes are big and if the map its self is fun, if not then zi don't really play that season.

[@B0OBIES]

One thing I've noticed with earlier events is they didn't always need countdowns or an anticipated build up. You'd just be playing the game and things would go on. It felt natural, like Fortnite was a world of its own that played by its rules whenever. Even while you're minding your business, takin down enemies 🤣

The way events can be fixed is having a mix of gameplay and story. Like sky fire or cubed event. You could walk around and shoot monsters and all that while knowing the story. In chapter 3 we got the mech event which we used the mech in the event. We also got story during it. Making it a great event. Having a balance of story and playing during the event makes the last events great

Yes I agree those are probably the best I’d say we can add the unvaulting as well maybe also season 7 with the team rumble aspect some have but the unvaulting was great i mean we saw the vault open while playing them we voted then the volcano erupted where we watched and you could go to one of the areas hit possibly then it was just a team rumble match it was a mix also c2s6 was also good as it was story and gameplay but mainly story

[@TheEpicGalaxy21]

I mean, technically that's how the last few events have been. Fracture just took it to the extreme by making it super interactive with mini games and whatnot. But I guess they spent so much time making all the gameplay part work, that there wasn't much room for story stuff, after all, you can't have story stuff going on while you're busy getting points.

[@ZapZillaOldChannel]

I think half the problem is that the events have become TOO INTERACTIVE - Events started out as you just sitting back and watching the action unfold infront of you. I'm not saying interactive events are a bad thing though, I really enjoyed Operation: SkyFire and the Chapter 2 Finale. But the events like The Devourer of Worlds, Zero Crisis, and Collision had more interaction and shooting than actual action and story. The Fracture event was basically ALL INTERACTIVE ONLY, except for the two minute cutscene at the beginning which was a letdown and the chapter 4 trailer at the end which got posted on youtube an hour later anyway.

[@OfficialDylanDanville]

[@thejaguarplays9947]

Imagine this as the chapter 3 live event. You get in the lobby with 4, being at the reality tree waiting until the counter goes down, it will just be like the cinematic you see herald appear and she gets destroyed by rockets. You hear people cheer and soon after you hear the music rise just as the huge herald rises. A small boss fight begins, she keeps smacking the tree chroming parts of it leading you to the middle as it goes over to the cinematic. Idk how it would go after this, but would've been way better then what happened

I think if you added that at the beginning of the event, the quest part would've have been more enjoyable. You'd get to help with the battle AND doing zero fusion.

[@standlethemandle]

the issue with live events in my opinion was when they started treating them as "events". It's not something unpredictable anymore, and it loses all the surprise when they start hyping it up on twitter and make it its own gamemode. Another piece of it that kind of stole the magic from me was trying to make the events more like cutscenes now you have specialized gameplay and it seems more like a "cinematic" than an event. going back to season 4, having those little meteorites drop randomly in matches during normal was crazy because it genuinely felt like something that wasnt supposed to happen. that feeling of mystique is completely gone nowadays

[@SomethingSomethingSirius]

Honestly, my favorite events were the ones where you would just sit there and watch the madness unfold. The only event that I love that doesn’t follow this rule is skyfire.

in my personal opinion, Chapter 2 Season 7 Operation Skyfire, was the best event I ever played. It was fun playing with friends and watching the event unfold. It brought so much joy! Then Chapter 2 Season 8’s event happened and it was pretty good. Then everything after that was just disappointing! Hopefully Fortnite can pull off what they’ve done before: Redeeming themselves with events.

[@nullsmack]

Fracture was just so disappointing to me. The whole season I'm hyped up for more lore about The Nothing, which was referenced a lot in C3S4. It's been teased for years. It was even included in Canny Valley Act 3 in STW over 4 years ago now (Dec 2018). They thought it was a negative energy coming from the Storm King's domain. They never knew it was more than that. Then it was referenced for the first time in BR as a secret message in the black hole event in 2019. (Immediately following that event, 2 weeks later we had the Storm King LTM. "Coincidence"?) Then not referenced again until it popped up in some of the Cube Queen's stuff in 2021 right before Chapter 2 ended. (Also, "coincidentally"... one of the sequences in the Ariana Grande tour was the Storm King again....) Finally we get references in C3S4.. including a music pack that directly references part of the secret text from 2019's black hole 'Nothing is inevitable'. And also quests from a disembodied voice coming from TVs for Bytes to do. So I'm hoping for even more revelations in the event. But then they hurriedly chrome and destroy the island in a cinematic with no dialog. And then give us 40 minutes of creative mode fetch quests to jump start the Zero Point so it can make a new island? I couldn't even see everything in that creative map. There should've been an actual in-game event. Then the creative map could've been available as an optional experience until they took the servers down for downtime. It didn't make any sense why we could be on an island looking at the completed map, but not able to go play it yet anyways.

[@The_PaleRider]

It's fortnite who cares about the story in battle royal games, next time write the Bible

[@nullsmack]

@@The_PaleRider The only worthwhile part of this game right now is the lore. BR as a mode has long overstayed its welcome. It's completely outdated and honestly just junky. You play upwards of 20 minutes and if someone eliminates you just once you have to start over? It's the most overwrought Counter-Strike clone there is. If they're too lazy to replace it with something that is actually good, then I look forward to Creative 2.0 taking over. They can give BR a tiny handful of updates that barely add anything to the game each year like they do STW at that point.

[@SHAITfam]

@@nullsmack What are you smoking lmao? Whats your suggestions then?

[@LightRunnerAnimation]

The Chapter 3 end event (The Herald) was the first live event I ever played in, and I must agree that I was very disappointed by how short-lived it seemed

[@teamdgang]

What I think most the community want is an event where we lose. I know we did (kind of) lose in the Chapter 3 finale but we just won again but rebuilding the map. For example maybe we could have lost in the Chapter 3 finale and then Chapter 4's map could have been all or most of the area's surrounded by chrome with some of the communities favouries area's from Chapter 1 and 2.

[@TheEpicGalaxy21]

The problem is that usually the lose condition in these events would be something like "The Zero Point is destroyed, Reality is destroyed" etc. Basically, if we lose, Fortnite ends. And since that can't happen, we can't really lose.

How it should of gone: We fight the Herald for 5 minutes until we get fully chromed. Cutscene for 5 minutes: The Herald is about to release the Nothing onto reality zero until she gets stuck in the reality tree (thanks to Bushranger). All the sudden Midas has arrived with a de-chromify machine he's been working on, un-chroming everyone including us, the other loopers, and the seven. Gameplay: Next we run away from the spreading chrome before it consumes us again. We run from the Reality tree to Chonker's speedway where Jones and AIME are waiting in the blimp. Cutscene: We enter the blimp, strap ourselves into our seats and evacuate the loop using Jones' loop breaker, until the Herald gets bigger and starts chroming the blimp. But with a fully chromed island, a black Rift opens to reveal the Nothing, the Herald freezes before she could fully escape and destroy the loop breaker. The Nothing is about to chrome the Zero Point and we are going to be part of it until Midas sacrifices himself by using all his golden touch to turn the blimp gold, then he jumps off back to the chromed island and defeats the Nothing by bringing the Devourer back to life. As The Devourer blast its ray on the Nothing, reality zero begins to crack like glass, then pieces of the island rip out of the ground from the fracturing tornadoes and at the end, reality zero explodes. Then the Last Reality arrives abducting the zero point with the Cube Queen and Bytes. Until it breaks free are zooms away. Gamplay: We spend the next 10 minutes reforging the island with new pieces coming every minute. Before that, the zero point pulls Jones into itself so he can find the Foundation and the rest of the seven. Finally we have the ending cutscene with Paradigm activating Zero Fusion to bring the island back together. Is this the type of event we should have got? Let me know in the replies!

[@Chromono22]

I mean, I think the old events were just much smaller, and since they were old, we are nostalgia blinded and think they were better The final 3 events in chapter 1 were great, but that was just them getting more skilled and more comfortable with making events Look at skyfire and the end chapter 2 Those were freaking amazing, some of the best looking and most intense events out there. Seriously, if we were to get another butterfly event or cube event now, everyone would be pissed Sure, fracture was really bad, but that’s one mishap in the midst of super well produced experiences In chapter 1 we didn’t know how far epic would take it. Now, we see the skill and passion that epic has. We know how far epic can take their events; how well they can do. So to call this a “downfall” is a super unfair statement, since every event has just gotten better visually and story wise. Come on, they got the freaking rock in the game and that was a super memorable moment. Chapter 3 was one of the most loved chapters, and the c2 end was one of the best events they’ve had.

The Fracture Event Just Made Everybody Sad, Nobody Actually Thinks That The Chapter 2 Events Were Bad

[@Cadeho3]

My first event was that solo one. I didn't mind it... I knew nothing really as I had only played the game a handful of times since first playing a couple games in chapter 2 season 3. Chapter 2 season 7 was the first full season I played and I loved its end event, even if I didn't know the lore. That season has the most memories for me and was the most fun. I liked the other events as well... but the chapter 3 finale was definitely not as expected. The storyline seemed to disappear. That was it? The master of chrome who introduced herself by seemingly killing 2 of the Seven as a chrome blob only to get killed by the chrome? I don't get it. I thought we'd have the comics story play out in game... they set up the story in game after all. What happened to the Nothing? I think they forgot how to tell a story. Right now, the story is boring if there is one at all.

Okay personally, the only bad live events have been C1 Season 7, C2 Season 1 (Star Wars), and Fracture. Fracture could have been better if there was less time repairing the island (pretty much none of what we did is actually there) and spent time actually witnessing the chrome take over the whole island and fighting the herald to no avail, would have been a perfect contrast to the Chapter 2 Finale

[@GoobGoblinGoob]

i feel like what killed it was dialogue. in season 1 no-one ever talked, so there was no explanation for the rocket or the world we were in, and it felt like it was happening around us, we weren’t the main character. mystery was a lot of the fun.

[@KwikBR]

seems like this next event will be like that

[@poweredvoltage3213]

I hope they add an LTM to replay events for those who want to relive or experience any event because most of these were incredible (except fracture).I know this sounds stupid but just take a minute to think about it

[@fishbonetrunk6645]

Honestly i never knew even, i started to play last summer omg i never thought that they had this amazing stuff. Yes i want to see that.

[@fernoskullgaming9256]

Honestly I think the fortnite community would like it but obviously some of the underwhelming events will not get played. It definitely has my vote for being cool.

[@youtubepolicepatrol3154]

I don’t care what other people said about the Star Wars event they did a great job. The stormtroopers patrolling the tie fighter crash sites, lightsabers, and getting the Millennium Falcon as a gift was amazing. 👏

[@alisonhamilton994]

The chapter 2 end event was planned out all the way back in chapter 2 season 2 as astro jacks backbling shows a purple cube a blue cube and a gold cube

[@JT_vids]

And now the only interactivity of Big Bang was "hold to watch better". I just want actually unexpected stuff, and something for me to do during it. Skyfire got it perfectly, why can't they just build off that

[@susli3775]

You can’t really say Fortnite events are no longer good when the past 3 events before fracture were amazing

[@Peemer-7474]

The Collision Event was Amazing I really don't understand how people hated it

[@The_SniperCam]

I had this idea for a finale event since chapter 2, but I’ll update it for chapter 4. So basically it starts off just like skyfire, with us entering the antagonists’ base and venturing our way to a certain point. Then, we are lead into a dark room where the door closes and we are faced with whatever evil being is terrorizing the island around that time. And we jump into a cutscene mid event like in the chapter 2 end event, where slone comes out of nowhere and redeems herself, bringing a bunch of other characters to fight by her side, and is loopers sit there and watch, just like the old days. Then, we are launched out of the base as we discover the zero point has been exposed. We have to then watch the chapter 4 map slowly blow up like in guardians 3 when the high evolutionary destroys his world. We then have to enter a couple small ships as we exit the island’s atmosphere and watch our new home be destroyed like in Thor Ragnorok. We are then forced to see the zero point do what it did in season x’s end event, and we get sucked into the zero point, but then, the zero point scans our memories, and gives us 2 options. To either a: travel back to chapter 2’s map for chapter 5, or to the chapter 3 map for chapter 5. (In conclusion, a jam-packed event mixed with a few elements from previous events like skyfire and the chapter 2 and 1 end events, all with a nice ending that gives us choice like the unvaulting event, only this time, we decide what our chapter 5 map is) Give me any suggestions and feedback in the replies, I’d love to hear it!

[@dr.rioforever50]

I think the fracture event was the worst since almost all the servers in my country over loaded and everybody crashed I wasn’t sad I was just disappointed

[@Leviplayz15]

It’s so sad that fracture was such a let down with all the hype that was behind it

[@LoggyTonight]

This video brought me so much nostalgia and remembering of being a part of all of this events

[@TurtlezzYT]

Chapter 3 was one of the best chapters

[@ChristianBunnyGames]

Besides its finale

[@stormfish9090]

I still think the device event is severely underrated. It had great music, great story, and a fantastic ending. Turning the storm into water was so cool for both gameplay and story

[@jordanquichocho9615]

The fact The Cube Queen took a whole season to charge up her attack for Chapter 2 and sorta failed to destroy the map was so embarrassing compared to The Herald becoming Chrome and 1 shotting both Chapter 2 and 3 within mere seconds and she was no where to be seen during the whole Chapter 3 Season 4 event just the chrome (Npc at her landing spot doesnt count)

[@dolly-boy-1923-aka-pixeldonkey]

They were just trying to rush to chapter 4 so they could compete with cod unfortunately 😕

[@rjstudios742]

11:54 The music made up for it. The event soundtrack was Beautiful

[@cyborg148]

i do think that leaks effect the event a little bit, but for the past 2 events, they felt like playing a coop/singleplayer game

[@jcooper10182010]

I personally thought every event besides the latest one was awesome and will never get tired or the point and shooting I feel like the latest event was the only bad one

[@TheEpicGalaxy21]

I think the issue was just that they wanted to try something different. So far the trend has been that events got more and more interactive, Fracture being the most interactive with full on Mini-games. And other traditional Live-event stuff having to make way for that stuff. Obviously it wasn't exactly a success so Epic will likely learn from their mistakes and do differently.

[@jcooper10182010]

I agree epic galaxy

[@ToothlesstheNightFury510]

I have been on and off forntite only getting to some of the events, fav was Travis Scott of course but these more story oriented ones probably aren’t meant to be the coolest becuase most people don’t really understand the story of fortnite, some are hype some are less to me I doesn’t matter

[@oblivion_kh]

Something that im not sure if you're aware of about how bad the fracture event was was that it wasn't just how the event was designed, but thousands upon thousands of people, even big name streamers, got kicked from the event and couldn't rejoin. Every time you've brought up the event, thats something that you haven't said but have said it about other events

[@AndrewUchiha4747]

So that’s what events need: Interactive action packed events that give you free roam with your friends that live up to the build up. With plotwists

[@PizzaGlowzord]

bro wait there going to hear these and and end this season with a banger

[@ThatDrSlone]

I think we just to wait before Epic can make history again, I’m sure we’ll get a good event in no time. Great work T5G!

[@SPYDERFILMS]

I don’t think the time for these events are over, all we can do know is hope for a new event that’s good, has a good plot twist and can cause chaos

[@omeganeoz]

im betting they are cooking up something insane now tho for chapter 4 end event!

[@THE-IMPOSSIBLE]

Galactus event and the device event was really good...... The one problem with galactus was that we all knew we would defeat him... But the zeropoint exposing, battle bus driving, iron man saving us is stilll super memorable.. ..... Even the device event was so good. Like it opend the reality of fortnite to us.... And when we saw the tsunami storm, It was sooo good

[@WitheredBonnie1986]

I think one problem is that the seasons aren’t really theme anymore I miss the theme seasons like the space the pirate or the future themes now for the past couple seasons it only has been war themed

[@sillytamaa]

this season is medieval themed Last was 90s theme (?)

[@drunklevi]

No matter what people say or how confusing the story can get, Fortnite really knows how to make their events cool as hell

[@minjuahh]

11:32 good transition to nick to ali to nick

[@MatthewRamirezful]

Definitely agree with the events. My all time favorite has to be Galactus though. Loved AC/DC playing while taking out those robots.

[@RealityContractor]

We really need epic games to listen in on this, I desperately feel like the game will die off sooner or later, or a few months now that chapter 4 began, if we need live events, listen in on the whole video. They will know soon enough, and the feeling will come back, and the game will be saved just in time. All we need, is them to listen and to follow in on what the game and live events truly needed....

[@gaspersnakes]

Fortnite Chapter 3season 4event was my firs grand finale the reason is because i accidantly turn off my ps4 on chapter 2 season 8 event and i missed so i didnt get to experience chapter 3 event was the worst

[@dddripz]

You call it great but you weren't there? If you were actually there, you would know it's the worst live event we've had in years.

[@gaspersnakes]

@@dddripz sorry i meant the chapter 2 grand finale event i know chapter 3 event was bad i was there

[@dddripz]

@@gaspersnakes That makes more sense lol. Hopefully it's not the last good event we have.

[@mr.witherhmc9304]

The reason why the events are kinda bad now is similar to a long running TV show, The creative team gets tired and are just told to make it happen, sure things might get better, but we will need to suffer through the seasonal rut until then

[@dragogoose2465]

The device event was sick

[@Murderdronefan_idk1]

i feel like since fracture was so bad the next event will be very very good

[@LucaGamingYT]

I remember I was so hyped for the fracture event. But then it turned out to be one of the worst events in Fortnite history

[@kingconrad4577]

Bro the marshmellow event is so nostalgic for me. First event other than the ice King i played

[@jaquelinehummingbirdcryste5373]

I agree with the last Fortnite event missing the mark. I actually got kicked out in the middle of it, but I still got to watch the rest. I have more questions than answers. BUT I still hold out hope that the events will turn around. I still like the story, but I definitely need more answers.

[@CombustixPresents]

here from the big bang. Didn't age very well

[@not_Edix]

The video is 10 months old

[@Cosmicmorales]

this aged very well if anything, the travis scott event is still considered the best one in the game

[@KT_enjoyer]

The problem isn’t the predictability because almost everything in each of the earlier events were predicted by the community. The actual problem is the fact that the community is constantly leaking everything actual months early. That’s also been the problem with the last few years. We already know everything with the game. The game was only fun during chapter 1 because of the shock factor. We had absolutely no idea of what would’ve happened. You can see that primarily in the design of the cattus

[@KVMONFN]

I started playing in ch2 s3 so maybe since the Galactus event was my very first, I feel like that was just the best. And i had missed the mecha showdown event by 10 mins because I was in a car. I still regret it to this day. But the fracture event was just so disappointing i had actually quit playing for a while even though it was a new chapter.

[@martinezalvarez4275]

Glad i missed fracture but i change my mind about collision lime we are just shooting stuff like bro and the comics reveals what happens after the collision event.

[@Shwiffle]

I kinda feel like the events are going downhill the more the story is explained. I think a big part of the hype for earlier events was knowing that they were all apart of a much MUCH bigger story. But now that we’ve had most of that story explained to us, it kinda just feels more like exposition in between seasons. Don’t get me wrong, they’ve still been fun, but I don’t think they’ll ever be able to capture the hype and excitement from older seasons.

[@TheEpicGalaxy21]

To be fair, there's still a lot that we don't know. Though for the most part, the parts of the storyline that are relevant to the event tends to be fairly understood by now.
