There is a bubbling controversy in the Fortnite community over perceived ‘low-effort’ in recent map changes. While some argue that the changes are justifiable tweaks, most players find them uninspiring and dismiss them as lazy.
Summary
- A majority of users take issue with the lack of creativity and novelty in the recent game map modifications.
- The concept of an ‘altered timeline’ is heavily referenced in the conversation as either a justification or excuse for the lack of innovation.
- Some users defend Epic, the game developers, suggesting the disappearance of certain details might be due to software limitations.
User Reactions
One user going by the alias, Inky_Train, goes as far as to accuse Epic of outright laziness, noting the absence of Shadow Cubes and Haunted Castle. To paraphrase Inky_Train’s comment: “Epic needs to get back to making Fortnite fun and creative, bringing back the good old days of the icy Greasy Grove. The present scenario just doesn’t cut it.”
The Altered Timeline Cop-outs
Another user, Chuomge, called out the ‘altered timeline’ argument, saying it didn’t make up for several missing Points of Interest (POIs). Meanwhile, GoldenYellowPup pointed out that changes in the timeline might be an excuse for the loss of original software coding for certain now-absent details.
What Happens Next?
What seems evident from these discussions, despite varying opinions, is a shared sentiment of disappointment and a plea for Epic to step up their game. Every gamer desires to see improvements, innovation and novelty in their gaming experience. As for now, players await the game developer’s response while continuing to vent their frustrations online.
