What Fortnite Forgets About Collabs

If you're still loving Fortnite and are excited for some new collabs join our discord family here! ➡discord.com/invite/43sgy5q2ck

What Fortnite forgets about collabs: giving the skins edit styles. For example, the Avatar skins had plenty of inspiration from the show to draw from, yet none of the skins had edit styles, except for Aang, since he had two skins, and they made people pay 2000 for each skin

I remember when Fortnite was focused more on story and collabs was just a fun advertisment. Now of how many collabs we have in a short time I feel like lore of this game is nothing important and this is just a big crossover game to make the most money possible.

The chapter 5 UI made cosmetics for me so much worse especially separating emotes and warps separated from skins loadouts

WE WANT LIVE EVENTS BACK

I used to think collabs were stupid and unnecessary for the game. But at the end of the day all they do is bring more people to the game who like the character

Remember when secret skins actually HAD an importance of the story for that particular season? Now it’s just Avatar Korra, Magneto or the next Disney collab taking up that slot instead to keep players interested.

I absolutely love how Metallica, Solid Snake, Raiden and Peter Griffin is in Fortnite but my most used skins are Fortnite original skins. I really do hope Epic realizes people also like the originality Fortnite has and not double down on collabs. Also I agree on making The Rock the face of The Foundation was the worst decision Epic has made to the storyline

I miss stages as edit styles, it’s what made me wanna play BR and progress in the game. Now we just get the skin and basically nothing else:(

8:25 tbf we don’t know if doom is actually gonna be the villain since everything’s leading towards the wanderer being the villain (which wanderer being doom doesn’t really make any sense)

Im in a minority camp that thinks they already spend too much effort on collabs , there's a limited amount of updates per season and when loads of them start being about collabs I don't really care about instead of the theme of the season, I loose interest fast Fortnitemares has also been killed by collabs in my opinion, no longer is it about spooky elements of fn like the cube, storm king, chrome. Last year they put no effort in and it was literally just buy the Michael myres skin event

One thing I think what ruined Collabs for me is the passion put into it. Collabs nowadays feels so forced and it just feels like Epic is running out of ideas for content for the season so they just bring out a Collab expecting that to keep us busy for the next few weeks. The same ol’ Mini-Battle pass, extra item shop skins, the boring quests, and the new item update is getting extremely boring because it doesn’t ever feel different. The only times I’ve ever genuinely enjoyed a Mid-season Collab was Dragon Ball and the Star Wars thing from last year because it felt different compared to the others. (Gameplay wise) I don’t think Epic is gonna be changing their ways any time soon though cause why would they if they can make an extra few bucks. One thing I think they forget about Collabs is what made their Collabs good in the first place. Collabs back in the day felt like actual Collabs from John wick, to Deadpool, and to an entire Marvel season. They felt special because you can feel the ideas and personality put into it and how it actually feels like it impacted the game in some way. Major collabs nowadays just feel so soulless and it feels like Epic just does it for the sake of it rather than actually putting any actual personality into it. It’s the same boring and repetitive gimmick every time and it sucks to see these collabs being treated as more of a material rather than an actual collab.

IMO it's almost an unsolvable problem, the skins are so cheap and the volume sold means the devs can't really focus on any individual skin for too long. Even collabs come and go with less fanfare than they deserve. The end-season Collab passes are honestly a blessing because it always comes with new items in BR.

As someone who enjoys and loves Metallica, I honestly felt Metallica collab and fallout collab in the battle pass was what saved the recent season for a little bit before this season has became mid. It was a fun idea of having modded cars but once after for awhile it's been rather annoying cause it's usually the only way to win these days especially with the medallions

Them also making Brie Larson Paradigm was also horrible. Paradigm was clearly meant to be Singularity and it sucks we didn’t see that happen. Also I will never forgive Epic for ruining Chapter 3 and its storyline just to show off new graphics

With Marvel characters, it's a lot different they're actually probably going to get referenced again, because the fact that Disney is a shareholder in epic games, meaning that most likely we'll get more Marvel stuff storyline related that will be referenced again more often

I'm still hoping for the fortnite MMO to exist. You can make original characters, make storylines big and small, and basically do things that a BR game can't do. It will be peak. STW doesn't scratch this itch because it has a story, but it doesn't develop it like other RPGs do. You can do a WoW with an ever evolving and expanding world. Visit different dimensions and realities like Fox Clan, Ice Kingdom, Vampire High Schools, etc. Like there's a lot of flavor already baked into the cosmetics, and doing this would really make the Fortnite IP much bigger.

One issue I've had with collabs lately is that they've felt a lot more focused on popular and trendy media, which is just going to get boring and predictable. I wish we could get something a little more niche like Mega Man X since that would be a lot more surprising and also give more attention to these lesser known series.

The one thing I hate that epic games is doing is that they stopped putting effort into story and live events, the core thing that made this game so iconic, just for this metaverse thing. It’s losing its sadly losing its Fortnite touch

One thing I really dislike is how there aren’t any more tier 100 skins because they are all just ads now
