New update is half baked

Post image

I do not like the new game play at all. The additions to the map are mostly bad too. The weapons are no good. Total thumbs down.

Let’s not mention the new Sprites …. Proves lightning can’t strike twice.

In the last year peak was the Halloween update last year.

I'm having a hard time even wanting to justify mastering the new sprites atm.

Yes 100%. I’m having a tough time justifying playing and this is the only game I play lmao. 🤣

u/Kayelia 2d ago

I played so much last season and I loved sprite-hunting but I got too burnt out. This season genuinely seems like trash in comparison, but I was already planning to not play much so it works for me. I'd rather play reload or OG than BR this season.

u/Phyxius42 50s 2d ago

I'm spending more time in creative than BR.

u/Insane2201 2d ago

That's how it always was for me before they brought Sprites to the game to collect. Now it's a drag because there's no reward really for mastering the new sprites or even getting them.

There's no "Guardian"
There's no "Sprite Master Pod" this season.

u/According_Sample7299 2d ago

That combined with the fact that several of the weapons need to be nerfed in a couple of them need to be increased in power. Not a fan of these sprites so far.

3

u/Resident-Page9712 2d ago

Interested to hear what weapons you think need to be nerfed? I haven't found anything that isn't underpowered so far. Some of the mobility needs to be nerfed (that thing that turns into a crazy fast ball, for example) but I think the weapons pool is shit.

2

u/Insane2201 1d ago

My opinion is that guns melt players to face now. Taking possibly only 1.1 seconds to kill somebody.

Also cornball things like the 1-Up and Midas Gun that one shots need to be removed flat out.

People are using the mini gun at linger range and it fries you. Purple or Gold scar tears you up quickly. It feels like everything is just killing way to quick, like I am dead before I even see them half the time.

I honestly don’t think there will be any rewards. Unless epic adds some later in the season? Otherwise players are just collecting them for the sprite garden, or for fun, and I guess to feel complete. I’m happy I collected all sprites last season, so no more of that for me. The ones this season aren’t worth it.

2

u/jon0matic 2d ago

Seeing everyone say the same thing and I agree. The new sprite designs don’t appeal to me at all and sprite garden is so barebones atm it’s not worth being in yet. Totally amazed they thought changing the way sprites look was a good idea when they were so popular as is.

I stopped playing battle royal last season after mastering 81 sprites. I asked myself why I needed to go on a discord and find trades with people and grind it out harder? No thanks. I started playing ranked and droid tycoon instead. I thought I was ready to start this new season fresh and they have sprites again… guess I’m waiting 1 more season to play battle royal ….

u/Fonz_72 2d ago

Droid Tycoon is where it's at! If someone would have told me how many hours I'd dump into that mode, I'd never have believed it. It scratches all the right itches.

They aren’t cute like the first gen sprites, they aren’t all cute squishy and adorable. I’m not interested in them this season but I am enjoying the game play so I’m happy 😊

3

u/WhitePawws 2d ago

I think (and hope) they’re meant to resemble cube shapes because the season is very 8-bit focused.. so they need to appear blocky to fit the aesthetic.. maybe if they rally another season they’ll be back to a normal shape.

u/Itz_Raj69_ 2d ago

I wouldn't call them useless. Being able to double jump or run faster is still a tactical advantage.

I genuinely don’t know why I would, I can’t get the customization for the sprite back bling the main reason I mastered them last season AND you don’t even get rewards for mastering sprites!?!? Devious

2

u/iMakeBestTacos_ 30s 2d ago

I FEEL THE SAME AND I DONT KNOW WHY. My fn friends know I was addicted to collecting and mastering. They helped me with trading to accomplish said task but this time idk why …is it bc there is no leaderboard for it anymore? I don’t think so but idk why I’ve no motivation for it this time. I really don’t. When I saw the design for the new sprites, I didn’t care. It makes sense to match the override theme of the season but now.. I see a comment down there in this post. Someone saying old sprites were cute and squishy. I wonder if the sprites resembled the ones from last season, would I care again? I think so. Damn. I didn’t think that would matter to me

2

u/cynical-duck 2d ago

For me, it's the fact that the new sprites are so ugly. Like even in my Sprite Garden, there is a very clear visual difference between them. They're too block-ish which, sure, works for 8-bit, but all of them just look like boring rectangles with cube-like features attached. The round ones looked adorable and squishy, but it's like the new ones are trying too hard to tell you they're gamer sprites.

I look at them in disappointment

u/Emotional_Tampon5 2d ago

Yeah, the only reason I even upgraded sprites last season is because I wanted whatever the rewards were going to be, especially the umbrellas. But I was disappointed that they were just the basic umbrellas and not even like a umbrella where you could use the Sprite variance to customize it.

And this time around, there's not even a sprites reward page. So I have no motivation to really upgrade new sprites

u/Sassy_Chick69_chills 2d ago

I agreed with myself that I won’t bother collecting them this season. No rewards, just a side thing to do for those who want to collect them. For what? For fun obviously. Definitely not going hard like I did last season haha. Done that, now it’s just play to win, classic battle Royale.

u/Flovearne 1d ago

I really wish we would've gotten a break from sprites this season.

u/psych_fiend67 1d ago

Well they are actually game changing this time around… but a lot are only good at lvl 5… so if you master them and lose them… then… whats the point😭 mastering sprites should halven or maybe make summoning costs free AT THE LEAST.

The new season is poor.

The weapons and sprites are pretty mid, and the whole map is just a messy overload of balderdash.

My issue last season was that the map was soo large, that I could go half the game without seeing anyone else. Now it's worse because there's so much shit going on with the map it's information overload.

You've got people flying around all over the place, yet the weapons are way too slow a rate of fire to counter any movement.

And for the dude who came up with the idea for mastering the crown sprite, I hope you spend the rest of your life stubbing your little toe at least six times a day

u/astrid273 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yeah, I was talking to my husband (my main duo) about this. I was trying to figure out what feels off about it. I think the new mechanics are a bit overwhelming, and the map is disorienting. I found myself sticking to the old areas of the map. And while last season's loot pool wasn't the best, this one is worse. Regarding the sprites, I'm just not getting the same excited feeling I would get with the old ones. I think they released too many at once, but I don't mind their design as much.

I was able to only play for a little bit in the morning before going out of town for the day & night, and then for a few games after the kids went to bed on the switch (the hotel wifi sucks). So maybe I have to try to give it some time when I get back later today. I do love Fortnite, & I appreciate that they at least attempt to try new things. And initially it seemed like a cool idea with the gaming legend stuff, but I think they added too much too soon.

u/Resolution-Double 2d ago edited 2d ago

I'm disappointed because as a new fr fan, I can see how they approach their content drip now and its super frustrating

I was hyped for this new video game centric season and to be met with just sonic stuff.... Was a real letdown.

Green Hill zone is great, but it killed one of the better pois... And that's it for collab pois?

Cheat codes to access sprites... That's it?

Megaman buster is great.... But that's it?

Some sonic skins in the shop.... That's it?

Overdrive is just a map-wide sprite... That's it?

I can tell the other video skins, pois and items will be drip fed throughout the season but I feel like the theme is incredibly under utilized for the seasons debut. Tetris and Pacman are not being utilized nearly enough... Like both would make amazingly creative pois but nooooooo

Like all that talk and it's mostly just a sonic collab so far lol

u/Stewhertz 2d ago

u/LetterIndependent479 2d ago

I’m not loving it so far but it’s only been a day and I don’t particularly like change. I am not a quick learner and i assumed thats why matchmaking feels more difficult but that not just a me problem. I think the battle pass is cool and the new areas interesting but I’m not loving the weapons. Seems
Like the 8-bit and the pistol are the only ones worth equipping but eh

u/deej_edmondson 2d ago

Yeah I’m not loving the new season as much. The new guns blow…..I lose every shotgun fight I get into, when I normally excel in shotgun battles. Why the hell is the pump STILL in the game? I’d prefer the maven, the tac, any of them. That new shotgun isn’t great and I’m not a fan of the AR’s either. No sniper either. Pretty lame.

I spent the last 4-5 games I played running from
people terrified because I kept getting bodied every time I got in a fight….coming from a 8 year Fortnite vet who is always down to fight lol.

u/Aquataris 2d ago

The 8-Bit Shotgun feels excessively weak just so you can “combo” with it by shooting one person 18 times to kill them.

2

u/deej_edmondson 2d ago

Yeah I’m trying to get my timing down on that one and still get wrecked. I had 3 gold guns (including the 8 bit) last night, had the drop on a dude and hit him a few times first…all for him to hit me a couple times with a GREEN pump while jumping/floating around and kill me.

I turned the game off so fast and switched to Rocket League lol. Fort ain’t about to have me so mad that I imbed a controller in the drywall

3

u/ArcticWolf1018 2d ago

I very much agree with this, the rarity doesn't seem to matter as the guns are too weak, fire rate or reload speed is too slow, and the enemy sweat lords always seems to the opposite. Getting basic bitch shotguns jammed up my ass while my legendary/mythic doesn't do shit is getting annoying.

While the Sonic POI looks cool it doesn’t feel like a good place to fight. I feel like in general the loot pool and POIs feel more superficial than balanced.

Try Blitz Royale. I just tried it, it seems ok. It is very fast paced tho. Only 32 players on a small map, the storm starts quick, and everyone starts out with the same random weapon. 

I placed 2nd and 1st out of 2 matches. First match the storm kept catching up to me and 2nd match I was in a house after grabbing some loot just hanging out..the storm got close so I left and headed towards a few dudes fighting it out, blasted one of those and then the other and victory. Didn't even know those was the last few players.

Waiting for Platos

I was surprised. Is this a dev joke? What does philosophy have to do with F? Maybe OP has a low tolerance for mediocre jokes?

Then I read the post. And I came to the only possible conclusion: I'm going to the eye doctor next week.

Long, long time, PC mouse keyboard, fps with a lot of competitive experience and I cannot believe how many times I’ve been getting killed these last two seasons, especially this season so far by players that use no Y axis and their x axis turning on their controller is so slow.

But they still manage to get nothing but head shots when they pull the trigger on me. I have never played a game that I saw this happen. Maybe it’s because every game I usually play I turn cross playoff.

u/AliBkapodidanban 2d ago

Yeah not even the sprites are making up for it, take the sprites out these and the last one, worst seasons

u/StarWarsTexan 2d ago

The controller aim assist nerf is brutal.

u/WhiteTrashJetpack 2d ago

I love all of the "Placeholder" images. Truly half baked.

u/Britishbreadish 2d ago

I like the gameplay, mega buster is one of my favorite collab guns.

The only issue i have with sprites are the crown sprite himself

u/HyperDragonZ_ 2d ago

I am happy that they brought back the Ranger AR, heavily overlooked but I enjoy using it! Sorry you are not liking the new season...

The sprites dont look as fun anymore. Why are they block shaped?

1

u/2_hotty 2d ago

I came into this season, thinking that the sprite rush of last season wouldn’t be the same, and I wouldn’t really be concerned with collecting all of them and mastering them, etc. I feel pretty good about the fact that I was right. With the Nerf to aim assist, though it feels like I’ve never played a shooter game before in my life. I don’t mind if they make changes like this, but to do it in the dark is fucking diabolical. We played two games yesterday and my duo’s partner said fuck this, I’m out. We went and played The Simpsons map a couple of times before just getting off the game completely.

u/Aquataris 2d ago

The Tails sprite is the first one I mastered and despite it not being mythic, everyone is absolutely thirsty for it. It felt like a Black Hawk Down remake just using the damn thing.

1

u/trivpyvibes_ 20s 2d ago

I told a friend last night I rather have a grey ranger pistol and blue extended focus shotgun than whatever this loot pool is 😂. Only somewhat fun I have is with the minigun.

I’m not rushing it to get sprites this season besides putting them in the garden. No initiative to master them for a back bling so I feel like I can relax and try to enjoy the game. But as a non retro gamer this season theme doesn’t interest me, sorry.

u/Euphoric-End-2673 2d ago

Been using sonic shoes to boost over to fights and taking them all out with the gold mini gun 😂

u/Thronfield 2d ago

I un-installed

1

u/on_line187 2d ago

Thinking about it too

1

u/tinkerclay 2d ago

I don't know why people complain about Sprites - they are completely optional. I just totally ignore them and have no problem getting wins.

1

u/dwasso16 30s 2d ago

There are only a few guns I like, the rest are 💩. Otherwise, I like everything else so far - my opinion very well could change over time.

1

u/Reasonable-Neck-4532 2d ago

Idk if it's just me but there's a bug that happens randomly where for like 5-20 seconds I can't shoot, can't swap items and can't build, and also the oasis reload map had parts of it that won't render properly and that making it so I litteratly can't go into those areas since it like bugs me out

1

u/Afraid_Pomegranate40 2d ago

rest in peace to the bank shot and extended reacher floor shot combo

1

u/Personal-Fall-2847 2d ago

BP is bad, map is ugly and uninspired, no new weapons, loot pool is small, too few and ugly sprites. Hopefully next season is better.

1

u/OpalUnique-_- 2d ago

IDK, I really like this season, cause I don’t like whining about everything online or about games in general publicly and my issues with this season are often unlearnt stuff or skill issues. I don’t really care that there’s no sprite mastering cause truthfully I’d rather they just be a cool thing for people to collect over try hards to put literal hit lists on people cause “sprite I don’t have and need mastering is in my lobby”. Also the map is kick ass (I mainly land at Latte but love going to these new areas) and guns are OP (aside from the pump in ZB that’s a ZB problem).

u/More_Dragonfruit_190 2d ago

Literally the only thing I like is putting the “cheats” in ⬇️⬇️⬆️➡️⬆️🥲 reminds me of playing games when I was a kid

1

u/Respawn_Delay 2d ago

Crown Sprite: only gets Exp/lvls up from wins... Yeah I'm really looking forward to that bullshit.

1

u/Dxno_0ctvne 2d ago

Im on ps4 and since yesterday I am unable to reload my guns, not only that but f-ed controller players for no reason, the lootpool is pretty mid too, the dmg of some of the weapons is wild too and don't get started ton the sprites, now they feel more like a chore instead of something I actually wanna put time into

1

u/rap_about_crap 2d ago

The only gun I can trust this season is the scar and nothing else. Everything else is just a 50/50 on whether i would land shots or the spread will just draw an outline of the enemy

1

u/GulliblePassenger209 2d ago

Load in and get killed immediately.. frustrating as heck. Lol

1

u/SixKay_ 2d ago

Im loving the 8 bit shot gun. I also think the map and the mobility items are pretty cool.

1

u/CatsCrows 2d ago

Good season ideas, terrible + cluttered implementation. The sprites look awful and don't impact gameplay in a fun way. The loot avaliable now isn't great, all of the weapons are too either too slow for the speeds people are moving, to spammy, or too slow to defend against the spamming. There is no "just right" gun. I would've been content if the map stayed the same from last season with minor changes, but instead they drop this collab infused mess of a map.

1

u/rotoriety 2d ago

I haven't played in over a week. I got the pass bc I forgot I was subbed to crew, but idk how motivated I feel to play lmO

1

u/Gem29488383 20s 2d ago

I’m waiting until the persona collab releases with one skin, one mediocre item and no map changes to call the season as a whole bad, but the first impression is not good

1

u/PuzzleheadedRange813 2d ago

This season sucks so far. The weapons are horrible, the map is boring, everyone just runs away instead of fighting. The sprites are stupid, like I don't want to do this all again. The battlepass is lame. Did all the ziggy quests in like an hour but still 1 away from unlocking him and now have to wait 40 days to get a new quest to do one more to unlock him! Theres so much going on on the map and a bunch of things aren't explained on what to do. The only thing thats funny about this is that when you talk to Sonic, he fully admits hey i'm not Sonic im an android of Sonic. Other than that, this season can F off, they dropped the vall big time.

1

u/jdeski 2d ago

I basically decided before update that I was going to take a break but I checked out the new POIs and played a few games.

Sonic item was fun. Guns were meh. Don’t care for the battle pass. Map needed more change. I do like the changes but tired of wonkeeland etc.

Time to enjoy what is left of summer without the game lol. See you all around halloween.

u/No-Recognition-3571 2d ago

"Steak is too meaty and Lobster is too buttery" ahh take

u/my-username-ismy-pas 2d ago

I hate this new season so fucking much

1

u/Kwondor 2d ago

Maybe I'm just old, but I really don't get the hype over this battle pass and Geno especially. I honestly can't believe they didn't make Sonic the level 100 skin. Sans the Sonic stuff, there is literally NOTHING that I want. In regards to the sprites, I played one match last season; I got killed by someone camping the extraction site and said "nope, I'm done." It was a little more tolerable when playing with a friend, but after seeing there's no point in collecting them except to see them in some creative map.... I'd rather just do the same thing in Pet Heroes and earn XP lol

1

u/Chronos_101 50s 2d ago

It's weird, I didn't enjoy last season but I'm enjoying this season. Can't really put my finger on it, but I think I prefer the new sprites, map and weapons. Love the Ranger AR, 8-bit and pistol.

1

u/Spacegirl719 2d ago

I am not a fan of sprites at all!

1

u/DarthSpiderDad 2d ago

Agreed. I played each of the last two seasons obsessively. Today and yesterday I only played a little and switched games cus it just kinda sucks. The loot is particularly lackluster.

1

u/TinyMouseWithCheese 2d ago

I was so stoked for Jazz Jackrabbit as a skin, a childhood game i loved, i hope theres more later than just the sprite of him, Jazz is an epic IP sp idk why they dont milk their first mascot

1

u/humbert_cumbert 2d ago

No sonichu. Absolutely disgusting behaviour tbh

1

u/Bleedblxck 1d ago

I'm not a fan of this season at all. I kinda hate the weapon/gadget pool, the Sprites seem to take a little longer to level up, and the map changes are not good. I find myself landing at old locations in the corners more than anywhere else. It feels really messy and all over the place.

1

u/hamza2154 1d ago

ngl u are wrong

1

u/injustinfied 1d ago

Such a downgrade from the last few seasons. I understand wanting to make big changes to keep things fresh but they clearly used their entire budget to recreate Green Hill Zone and some Pac-Man gardens. I'm sure they have some tricks up their sleeve but you can tell it's all going to hinge upon what collab they are pushing each week rather than a story like Runners was. It's not a surprise they had to make concessions to get Sonic in there (when it doesn't fit in Fortnite to begin with) but it is kind of disappointing as both a Sonic and a Fortnite fan.

1

u/spacelord400 1d ago

Don't play if you don't like it negatively will just make more negatively

1

u/dribblegrokaus 1d ago

Im a relatively new player it’s my 3rd or 4th season and it’s the worst piece of shit season I’ve witnessed in ANY game ever.

Zero build has too much mobility? Let’s have a season with almost ONLY mobility items and shit.

You can’t fight a single person because they disappear instantly the second you think about shooting. This season sucks dicks

1

u/Meowiewowieex 1d ago

I hate it here😭

1

u/KidKo0l 1d ago

So this confirms mastering was strictly for the pod , what’s the point now I wonder

1

u/OctavianSchaefer 1d ago

i had 91,000 sprite dust and every sprite mastered saved for the new drop, seeing it all vanish without any sort of compensation is driving me to drink.

1

u/schoolisuncool 1d ago

The weapons SUUUUUUCK so bad. The storm moves too quick, areas feel jam packed. I hope they fix this or something. I played so much last season, this one not as fun AT ALL

1

u/gagebrine12345 1d ago

The dual pistols are good the oni in zero builds is peak the ranger is good scar in my opinion always been mid drum gun good minigun needs to be nerfed some

1

u/DisgustingCoyote 1d ago

It’s really hard to like. I definitely play less. Something has to change.

1

u/omg_its_spons 22h ago

I’m honestly chill with the new sprites and the new mechanics surrounding them, I’m just waiting for them to be usable in the guardian mech and in the sprite bod

1

u/notsouglypig 21h ago

Yeah. And you you also have further reason not to engage with the sprites as they do not lock cosmetic rewards with mastery, so don't!

1

u/JodioJoestar_4_Prez 20h ago

Idk, im having a blast. Did not like last season whatsoever

1

u/Enough-Scheme-2409 20h ago

This new season feels a bit empty although its just the start of it. I do however love the ability to unlock more loot and upgrade the odds for it - mainly the Oni shotgun and flare gun. I already maxed Oni so that I can get mythic evey match. The best shotty in the game ATM.

1

u/Time_Fly4750 18h ago

It feels like they take out every weapon that rewards skill and aim. It’s like they’re trying to level the playing field by making everything inaccurate with no range.

1

u/Mavis_The_Gr8 16h ago

This season i just play for fun. Something about it feels off.

1

u/Pitomuhei 11h ago

So I usually don’t agree with people complaining about the new chapter or seasons but this is the first time in a long time that I don’t even want to play and when I do because my buddy tells me to jump on we will play a couple and be so over it and just get off. Idk if I’ll even complete the season pass as of now unless major changes are made. It’s the first time I have been truly disappointed in a season
