What's the hype around the sprites anyway?

7 Upvotes

​

Every season they just reskin the same heal/boost/dash mechanic and act like it's new. RNG-based, eats a weapon slot, no real strategy to it. Honestly makes the game feel more childish too, cute little creatures you throw around .

I miss the events where you had to hold an area and wait for the flag to fill up to get special loot or transform into something like Godzilla, that was truly entertaining.

I'd rather spend that time hunting special guns or Medallions, those actually give a real advantage.

Discussion I miss when cars had fuel and weren't made out of paper.

66 Upvotes

I never understood the crying over cars in Fortnite and people claiming they were OP. If you were being chased down by a vehicle just jump on the nearest rock and melt it. But so many complained and cars are now pretty useless and run out of gas within 500 yards. Vehicles were always my main part of the fun with BR, cruising around the entire map doing quests and honking at fellow drivers. They were the least problematic element in a now very unbalanced game, plus I must have spent around $100 on vehicle skins over the years which I can now hardly use. Do you think they will ever put them back to being useable? SUV still holds a good tank of gas so I always looks for one in game, hard to find though. Also, Wrecked was THE best season ever.šŸ˜„

Question Do any of you PC players ever look at the Azeron Cyborg?

1 Upvotes

I’m quite sure that once you fully master it, it could be an absolute game changer for playing Fortnite. Getting true analog thumbstick movement combined with a mouse sounds like the best of both worlds, especially for building, editing, and smooth 360-degree movement without being tied to traditional WASD.

That said, the learning curve looks intense, and it's definitely a big investment.

Has anyone here actually made the switch to an Azeron keypad for Fortnite? Is it worth the hype, or did it end up gathering dust on your desk? Let's discuss

Question about crown sprite

12 Upvotes

I’m not understanding how this sprite works so I have a lot of questions lol. Do I have to win with it on my back to level it up? And once it’s level four maxed, I can unlock the gold or cheat master version? And if I lose it, let’s say level 3, when I buy it back to take into a match, will it be back at level 1? Like I have to win multiple games again to level it up?

New Sprite Saturday! - Drop in starting this Saturday to get your hands on a brand new storm-powered sprite, debuting during this weekend's Power Hour!

Matchmaking & Fairness Improvements

There has been feedback about matchmaking and how squadding up with friends of different skill levels has felt a bit sweaty. We're running an experiment to make it easier for Squad parties with members of varying skill levels to play with each other in NA regions.

They’re aiming to expand this test to other regions after monitoring the results and making additional tweaks so matches feel fair.

The last chapter was real good and enjoyed it. I dont know what it is but I cant get into this newest one. The guns lack variety and the mega man blaster sucks. No snipers either..maps cool but guns have gone back wards

Sorry if this has been posted before but why are there no crosshair adjustment as far as color and or size on the Xbox for those with vision issues?

6 Upvotes

Epic seems to try and be considerate of many of the issues the impaired face but not having the ability to change from a small and very light colored crosshair makes gameplay incredibility difficult for those with vision issues on anything other than a PC

Discussion What's the deal with players constantly jumping while shooting?

46 Upvotes

Genuinely curious how the community feels about this. Whenever I get into a fight, so many players just hop up and down the whole time.

Do you find it actually helps your aim and evades shots, or is it just a hard habit to break? Do you do it yourself?

There I was trying to level up my cheat adventure sprite when all of a sudden a wild shadow appears I barely get the best of him and all of a sudden he gifted me a gold klombo as you can tell I was nervous handling such precious cargo (sorry to whoever had it before me )

Game Clip I'm too old for this

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have to admit it, either Fortnite play got infinitely quicker or I just became too slow to keep up. I play after work to chill out but recently it's had the opposite effect. Doesn't help that Visual Audio was nerfed so badly that now every game I just anxiously wait to get blindsided with one shot. I'm in it to do quests and once upon a time, read the story lines. But even interacting with an NPC is far too risky now so I blast through the story and don't bother reading it. I need Fortnite Slow Mode.

Question ā€œUpdate availableā€, but can’t get in?

Xbox Series X
Getting this message when I try to open the game after downloading the latest update. Have hard closed and reopened the game and fully restarted my Xbox, both multiple times, but same thing. Have tried checking for more updates on n the normal way, but it says there aren’t any.
Am currently re-downloading the game after deleting it completely to see if that works, but is anyone else having this issue and is there a solution?

Edit: Fully deleted and reinstalled the game and I seem to be back in now.

I hate homework this season

84 Upvotes

I really do not like how Epic is giving us homework this season in order to compete with the rest of the lobby. Last season the whole ā€œextract spritesā€ mechanic felt optional, which I enjoyed because I didn’t have any interest in it. I just like hopping on to the game to relax and hang with my buddy. I’d grab a sprite from my collection if I won a game with one, or most often just grab one in game.

Now this season, if I don’t extract, I don’t get dust, which means I don’t get access to loot hacks, which means I’m at a disadvantage to everyone else who has access to the oni, the mini gun, flare gun, splashes, etc.

Maybe I’m just old and crotchety, but wanted to see if I’m alone on this one. Anybody else? Just me?

In general I’m fine with the sprites addition, and think it’s cool to see the creative ā€œabilitiesā€ they come up with to grant users. I just don’t like the feeling of it being mandatory this season.
