That's because when a corporation sees another do a genuinely beneficial things for their customers, and not something purely extortive, they feel threatened.

You know what pisses me off the most? Epic will not rerun a skin or emote in the item shop unless it has a LEGO version. We are literally at the mercy of the LEGO Fortnite skeleton crew. A fine example of this biting us in the ass was the El Chapulin Colorado rerun that happened not too long ago. The last time we saw him was over *800* days ago! Hearing that he's coming back after all this time, you would hope that _everything_ from the collab would rerun, right? Well guess what? That didn't happen. The emote was missing. Why? Because there was no LEGO version. You'd think that since this is a rare collab that they'd make a LEGO version in preparation, right? I guess that's just too much to ask!

[@doesthisIookinfected]

This is not true at all 😂 You must be from the subreddit. There have been multiple instances where skins without Lego styles have come to the item shop. At this point, EVERY skin now has a Lego style and the item shop is still bad so this is an Epic issue not a Lego issue.

Those don't return to the item shop so ONE skin from a very old BP isn't gonna effect the item shop like @masterofbloopers is insinuating.

Fortnite used to be way calmer and it wasn't this chaotic. It is losing it's personality. It is like that one insecure kid who was already appreciated by his friends but is trying to be someone else in a weird way. The battle passes were actually fun to grind and get all the extra styles back then but now they decrease the xp you get and are forcing you to level up 50 more levels.

[@Weeb_Goblin]

I am sad that the storyline is gone, but I disagree with basically everything else you said. The movement is fluid and nice, and allow the older map to be Zero Build accessible. I find the UI and locker non-issues, the shop is fine. The battle passes are easier than ever, which I personally find kinda bad, but they definitely aren't harder. While 150 levels for all rewards is more than 100 levels for all rewards, like C2, but its way easier than the 100 tiers of C1. And it allows people to grind more. I love grinding to 150 for all the rewards then grinding more for the super styles. Also I don't really get the complaints, as this game is free, and with careful planning, could've only had 10 dollars spent and every battle pass obtained with a 500 vbuck surplus each season.

@iAmLufa it is. They took item trading out just a few days before Rocket Racing was added to Fortnite.

All because they wanted to be the sole profiteer of Rocket League cosmetics for RR

[@saltysavagexd]

@@iAmLufa yeah when they announced in November of last year it inflated the market. Some things went for nothing and other things skyrocketed.

Fortnite's Multiverse failed because epic forgot what brought them record numbers in the first place, originality and uniqueness. Rocket racing is another quick arcade racing game that you can only play for so long until it starts to get repetitive, lego fortnite is in an awkward spot, trying to be minecraft while not allowing the freedom minecraft does, nor is there a story to the lego mode which it sort of has in terms of npc's and progression but its just not there, not to mention the worlds aren't made from lego bricks only structures players and mobs are which kind of takes away from the lego vibe, Festival is really the only valid mode as the team from guitar hero revived a game thats fanbase had been sort of split since there was no main rhythm game, the majority were fan made. The real reason alot of people dont appreciate these modes is because they sacrificed the innovation from battle royale such as seasons and live events for modes that the majority of people don't play. Adding the modes itself is good as they do have their playerbase, however its clear they only added these modes for money more than anything which would explain why they released these modes with glitches and bugs.

I just quit ranked Rocket Racing yesterday after grinding to unreal for the past 3 seasons of it. It's broken. Cars don't maneuver as smoothly as they should, some tracks are built so ridiculously that it makes you question who would even release such a thing and most races only having 6 players when you get closer to the unreal rank. It was fun for a while until it just became annoying. Countless updates passing and almost zero attention to the broken mechanics of the game mode just made me give up on it. It's upsetting too because the mode can become addicting. It's just become too obvious that Epic thinks placing a proverbial bandaid over the bugs will make players happy. I hope they decide to make changes and fix the mode so that it can be enjoyable again. Not only for casual players, but for the few who had fun racing competitively against one another. The mode could've been something if they just cared about it enough. Edit: It's the day after and it's also the Day of Doom update. Decided to give one last chance to Rocket Racing and the game crashed mid race. They don't even try anymore man....

As someone that has been in Rocket League since 2016, has all but 3 cars that have transferred over, and has been Unreal all these seasons, i agree, recently, i've unlocked the loading screens of the new season, and just wondered, why aren't the races looking like this? Rocket Racing was dealt the worst hand out of them all, releasing days after removing one of Rocket League's STAPLE things (trading) made it so A LOT of people just relate it to that, hating it, making it so the people that should transfer over from Rocket League, not do so, and there is just so little gamemodes, a Rumble gamemode would be sick, like Mario kart, but there isn't, the game needs content, same with Rocket League, which needs a port to UE5 FAST I will always be there for this 2, because i can find them fun, but there's always those times where i just need a break Granted, the transfeering stuff was a great idea, i just hope this means a brighter future for Rocket

They could do so much that could change the pace of the mode and make it enjoyable for everyone, but they just continue adding cosmetics instead. I recently started playing RL because of Rocket Racing and it's going to be a middle ground to scratch the driving itch until Epic decides to put care into Racing. They also need to do something that would encourage RL players to have a reason to play. The player pool is just too low where it is right now.

@@MarioMario-u1p EXACTLY. Bro if I just bump the wall slightly with the tip of my bumper, my car basically loses control and pinballs against the walls until I can figure out a way to control it again.

The tracks demand smooth drifts and thruster boosting, but even if you drive perfectly the tracks find a way to knock you out of sync.

@@iAmLufa disagree. I played it a little on its first release but you are right, the content wasn't there. By the time of the Billie Eilish season, the number of songs was enough to be satisfying. The Metallica season introduced a ton of content and really sucked me in. I grinded the whole Metallica pass. It was very cool. By now there are plenty of songs and I'm not going for the current festival pass but I still play often just because there are so many good songs that I enjoy. It's just like Fortnite BR, there are some seasons that I really like and some seasons that I let slip because the content just doesn't interest me as much.

I have a few ideas that could help the songs sell really well: 1. Be able to store at least 3 tracks as a playlist for the car radio. 2. Gotta make each of these a bit cheaper. 500 is a lot for one song. I must commend epic for one thing though: Jam Tracks can be used as lobby music. Epic is so close to making me buy a half-dozen more songs, and they just gotta change things up a bit.

[@doughbird4356]

They should have let Lego cook for longer, but having a creator mode was a great idea. Rocket racing got boring quickly, and letting it have creative was a good idea in theory, but what they should have also done was introduce more modes instead of just racing and time trials. For example, let people make a derby mode for it or an elimination style race or even tournaments. Lastly, fortnite festival is overall better than the rest and the battle stage was a unique idea that can be fun. I'd say most they should do for it is let it have a creative scene so players can build their own stages and possibly have it so they can have their own in-game animations like guitar hero did.
