Epic is playing the Angel and Devil thing with the Item Shop. #Fortnite -Give a quality update (the timer) -Give a shitty update to remove rarities to trick you into thinking a skin is worth more than it is..🤧
@HappyPower Hey – the change to remove color labeling from Shop items doesn’t change our approach or the way we price things. We just wanna simplify the appearance of Fortnite (Locker, Shop, etc) and remove outdated Battle Royale-inspired systems.
Sure, but the idea of simplifying the appearance of Fortnite, the locker and the shop are all going in the exact opposite direction of simplicity. Equipping cosmetics takes double, if not triple the clicks. The UI is impractical and janky, not to mention the introduction of buttons and drop-down menus that were far easier to access previously. Selecting a skin to rotate it, preview it or even spin it around now requires clicking on it, which then applies it to your loadout. Previously this needed a confirm button so you could preview and choose skins, backblings etc without loosing your currently equipped on if you want to go back. Wraps are not included as part of a character's preset despite being completely relevant to the skin worn. Changing emotes, lobby tracks, and all cosmetics now means you have to back out and change tabs, something that could have previously been done on 1 page. The sectioned tabs make sense with new types like LEGO Kits, Cars, Instruments but there's no need to separate Character from Wraps, Emotes or Lobby. Archiving or Favoriting items can no longer be done in batches or quickly. Previously all you had to do was click once per cosmetic on the button but now you have to enter a drop down and select it for every individual item. Applying wraps to all slots now requires a drop down menu rather than simply clicking the button at the bottom. Swinging a pickaxe or redeploying a glider is near impossible to do and feels like more of a chore to actually accomplish with the drop-down menu. It overlays onto other items meaning as soon as it's clicked the menu vanishes and switches to another cosmetic before the animation can even begin. Cosmetics in the locker can be searched by seasons using "S1-17" but after S18+ they no longer filter. Entering the drop-down menu or right-clicking anything in the locker accidentally immediately takes you all the way back to your currently equipped item when exiting. The filter menu requires an "apply" button to be pressed rather than simply closing and applying when selecting one of the filters, taking longer and more clicks to simply find your recent items or remove a filter. The filter menu was also better as a side panel so you don't have to move your cursor to the center of the screen and back every single time. As a side panel it also allowed for more options to be displayed, whereas the current one requires a huge scroll bar to simply filter by favorite. The presets menu scroll wheel also zooms the skins in and out as you scroll up and down the list. Because of the randomize preset button, the list compared to when saving a preset is all moved up by 1, becoming disorientating to where the preset was in relation to the rows. The shop no longer displays item descriptions or set names on cosmetics - now requiring a click on each individual item when there is adequate space to do so. The new shop and locker appearance can be accustomed to, however, it NEEDS the basic functionality and user-friendly UI elements that the previous ones had. Simple buttons at the bottom to favorite, swing, redeploy and equip. Less tabs to switch between, less clicks required to complete simple tasks and less feeling like there's a battle against the UI itself just to equip the cosmetics you paid for. We appreciate the moves the renew the locker and shop, but in terms of functionality and user interaction, there is nothing we want more than the old one back or the old one's elements merged into the new appearance. Thank you.
@FN_Assist @FortniteGame @HappyPower I have another one, when you search for a skin and type "siren" for example, you pick the skin but then if you go to pickaxes it shows an empty page cause it still has "siren" in search bar instead of resetting it 🙏🏻
@FN_Assist @FortniteGame @HappyPower Omg this is the longest thing I’ve ever not read. Waaaaaaaay too long.
@FN_Assist @FortniteGame @HappyPower I also want the old Fortnite Burbank font back for the ui and locker this just doesn’t feel like Fortnite anymore, this shows you where epic’s priorities really are,this really makes me question was making Charlie wen the new man in the chair a good decision?
@FN_Assist @FortniteGame @HappyPower thank you for expressing these issues so thoroughly and concisely. the fact you had so much to say on just the objective issues with it and not even diving into topics such as accessibility concerns really goes to show just how much is wrong with this design choice.
@FN_Assist @FortniteGame @HappyPower No cuz the wrap and lobby is the stupid issue jeez don't u guys get it ive been trying tell u since day one if chapter 5 ugh epic if ur listening right now put the wrap and the lobby with the character then re organized it I'm tired for both sides I'm putting my foot down
@FN_Assist @FortniteGame @HappyPower I honestly hope the backlash doesn't stop. I WANT Epic Games to go full damage control and realize how much they've shit the bed the past couple seasons.
@FN_Assist @FortniteGame @HappyPower You know there's issues when my guy wrote a whole essay. Lol love it! 💯
