I'm still so mad about how when they added the Save the World pickaxes to BR, instead of having them scale from common to legendary, they all became uncommon.

@@insertnamehere2022Same but I favourite loading screens I like and then put it on random so I get a different loading screen each time but it's never a bad one
Legendary still exists you just wouldn’t see the background but that whole system of 800, 1,200, 1,500, 2,000 is still present. Some skins are also sold in a bundle with a pickaxe making them 2,000. Some skins were also legendary 6 years ago and are outdated now. If they truly removed rarity the economy would change.
I mean they kinda phased out legendary skins with the start of chapter 2. Nowadays whenever a skin costs 2000 it usually includes a pickaxe or like an emote. Still think we need skin rarities

@@menbersintayehu5100 how so? fortnite is still fun to a certain extent. but it wasn’t JUST battle royale that made the game. the locker and ui made it too!!
Ikr it's so annoying cause my locker has 300+ skins & I already have a skin I love equipped & just because I edited a style on a old skin now I have to scroll back up/down looking for the skin I just equipped & put it back on.
They just love making pointless changes, dont they? They said "this will not affect prices" but it completely does. Every single collab skin thats came out since have all been 2000 vbucks, thats 20 dollars
I miss when everyone was hyped to get a legendary skin. It was considered the coolest possible rarity in chapter 1. But I think now they're subliminally doing this to increase interest in collab skins like Marvel and Icon Series because they look better in your locker now.
@logicrblx4540 as someone who no longer has my og ch1s4 account with the og marvel battle pass, I bought this pass right away not just because the skins are good, but also because I felt a need for more marvel skins in my locker. I’m level 80 now and since i got all these marvel cosmetics, my locker looks almost as stacked as it used to be for some reason.
You know they chose the rarity anyway right? They don't overcharge cosmetics because then people would've complained. What is overcharging is them choosing the old skins to be rare/legendary when they were just defaults and/or ugly ones with no backblings like leviathan and flytrap. Compare 2k v-bucks then to 2k v-bucks now getting you a bundle of items.

I miss the old ui, old battlepasses, old lockers, everything. I also miss when collab skins weren't locked away by an older battlepass never to be seen again
In summery everything about OG fortnite was just perfect. Especially the old graphics contributed to it as well. They need to bring back the rarities and somewhat of the old locker back.
the biggest thing for me in the new locker is the way presets have been broken apart and scattered and after every game you need to go switch your skin preset, emote preset, wrap preset, car preset, lobby preset, and instrument preset if thats your thing then queue back up, when in chapter 4 it was ONE CLICK collecting skins was so fun for me because id unlock like say spiderman and be excited to look through my emotes like "oo that fits spiderman, thats something he would do!" and choose the wrap and everything and really express myself with my presets, but now that they're all spread out i dont get excited for that anymore, i no longer even change my emotes or save emote presets, now everything is just 1 giant 3 wide column of skins that i cant even look at them all to appreciate, the old system had them sprawling from one side of the screen to the other so i could really see all of my presets, and collecting these presets and allowing me to express myself is what made me buy skins i otherwise wouldnt if i had a cool combo in mind with them now i stick to the same 5 skins, never buy non collab skins and even when i do its a rarity because IM OUT OF PRESET SLOTS TO PUT THEM SO WHY BOTHER, and never change my wrap or emotes or anything because they made everything such a hassle it really sucks, i wish they'd revert it or atleast make "preset bundles" where you can bundle your presets into one mega preset that changes everything in one click like the old locker used to, but thats a good idea so they wont do it, it all just sucks man
i'm pretty sure i'm not alone in this, but the absolute worst feeling thing about this whole stupid change is the battle passes. knowing you were gonna get a legendary skin at the end of each and every single one was such an awesome feeling, and now it makes it look like the tier 100 is nothing more than just another skin to collect. i hate it so, so much. i miss cosmetic rarities so much
It also makes it so that the tier 100 skin just doesn’t feel that special anymore, since they have removed rarity, it just makes the tier 100 skin look like it could’ve been the tier 1 skin tbh
Getting a legendary skin in the shop for the first time felt amazing, maybe its just me, but knowing the fact it was “Legendary” was amazing and made it more special to me back then
@@Ryzer235 this mindset would’ve saved a bunch of games… including TH-cam because nobody really asked for the dislike button to be removed or for them to bring the ‘Channels’ tab beneath the ‘Home’ tag without anyone knowing that they were about to changing some dumb shi like that
One of my least favourite parts about the new locker isn’t even removing the rarities, I just hate the fact that the emotes, lobby items, etc are all in separate tabs with separate presets. I set up a lot of my skins with coexisting emotes and stuff to match the skin, but now whenever I wanna swap to a certain skin preset, I’ve gotta go and change the emote preset, lobby preset, car preset, it’s all very tedious and annoying and I hope that they implement something that lets you attach separate presets together so you don’t have to keep switching things around and flipping between tabs just to make sure you’ve put everything together properly.
My silver lining from the removal of rarities has that I now give what was low rarity skins/backblings a second look Prior to this update, I would never create skin combos with uncommon items, but with the removal of the colors, I now pay attention to items I've had for years that I've blatantly ignored.
If you ask me, you’re spitting FACTS! Because my brother and I use to collect all the skins and now that they have no rarity he doesn’t care about them anymore. The gameplay was always a bonus but the skins and rarity and collecting and the locker mattered. My Take- they should’ve added a few new series. Featured/Multiverse: could be ANY SKIN THAT IS A COLLAB (Jack sparrow/sara Conner) Animated: ALL ANIMATED SKINS- Naruto/even the fortnite skins that are animated. And that would’ve been the change that would’ve mattered more, having cosmetics with new rarity would be exciting/ something new and fresh! Not abandoning it all together
ALSO: Fortnite clearly sees its profitable to release marvel skins at whatever value or DC skins at whatever value. But making cyclops 2000 with pickaxe is dumb. And jubilee separate and picksxe separate costs more Vbucks…makes no sense- the cosmetics aren’t even attached to the character
@joelburgos283 i think they might make a Pixar Series when the incredibles come out later this year. They might also make a Disney classics series for Captain Hook and Cruella.
Same. A lot of stuff got worse about the game... They said the metaverse was going to expand the game, but what happened was we got three game modes that a lot of people don't care about, one game mode heavily limited the battle royale store, the store cosmetics are just rotating the same few things over and over, and Epic Games are just making random decisions to change things that don't need to be changed and end up upsetting people.
Every season this chapter, they made one major change. Season 1 was movement and UI, season 2 was rarities, season 3/4 was ending exclusivity in battle passes.
@scoob_11e27 i used to have an og account, from ch1s4 to about ch3. It had all my favorite skins, such as the ice king, omega, iron man, Midas, and others. I lost the account now and started fresh in ch2s7. I wish I could play as those skins again, but I only can when my friend comes over and lets me use his Xbox. The only reason I’m in this mess of not being able to use those skins again is because of exclusivity. IMO they should have done this earlier.
@@ace_renegade21 that sucks but it doesn’t change my opinion. You’ll never get those skins back unfortunately, but I think Battlepasses should stay the way they were intended. This is no different than the rarities issue, when having an exclusive skin meant something, just like a legendary did. I’m not necessarily against it anymore, the game is kinda bad now.
@@scoob_11e27 I think removing exclusivity is good, it removes a lot of FOMO from the game, since now if you don't grind the battle pass every season, you can always just buy the skins later
@@scoob_11e27 I remember when everyone was excited to get legendary skins. Now it doesn’t mean anything. I But, if I started in chapter 6, and they didn’t make this battle pass exclusive, imagine how mad I would have been if they just kept gatekeeping battle pass. Gatekeeping/FOMO is a really outdated business tactic.
I think disney has to do with rarities removed - they own star wars/marvel and people would buy those skins since they have special rarities, it has happened before they removed rarities but more after rarities removed. The marvel season wasn't too long after rarities were removed.
Seeing the rarity line up for all the skins in the locker looked so good. Luckily I am a memory person & took individual photos of my Skins in their rarity. I miss seeing the rarity, just made it so much better.
@@Gxmergeddonwe know, we’re saying that putting collabs in battle passes was such a huge mistake, because a majority of older players don’t play any,ore. But they weren’t thinking about future players at the time, they prioritized older players, and as a result, newer players may never get the chance to get their favorite characters because epic was more concerned about making people buy the battle pass at the time.
This is the only comment in this entire thread that makes sense 😂 everyone on this video is worried about the wrong shit. 💀 why the hell would you make battle passes exclusive when you know people in the future who have NEVER played Fortnite (kids or adults) are GONNA want them?? The reason older players are sad is because…it doesn’t look the same? Are you kidding me?? What about little johnny who can’t play as the regular fucking Spider-man? What about jenny who couldn’t finish the season because she was busy studying her ass off? 🙄
@jawdn9744 the wrong thing, lol? I mean the video is about fortnite lockers ui. If you wanna see a video about them hiding collab skins behind battle passes then you will find it on TH-cam. And if they miss out on the skin then they can't do nothing about that, they're already gone and we just have to deal with it, they have plenty of other collaboration skins that come in the shop every now and then
It’s like a business decision probably, they can jack up prices and not have to change rarities which will go under some peoples radars, also it encourages cheaper skins to be bought because you don’t get turned off by the blue or green rarities
Its so that they can sell cosmetics for a wild upcharge without any consequence because the skins in question dont have any rarity anymore, so they dont have to follow a strict pricing system
Fortnite needs to stop changing things that don’t need to be changed. The lobby, item shop, locker, quests, legacy achievements, and win stats are so messed up now
Tim Sweeney and the rest of the higher ups at Epic don’t understand how a video game is supposed to work and are only it for the money and corporate stuff. Glad Donald left before it got bad so his name didn’t get dragged in the mud when he was actually the only who cared about the game itself and not money and collabs.
Chapter 5 ruined everything. Shooting system, movement, basically entire gameplay is ass, also when did fortnite remove siphon? Was it when Ranked came out in I believe C4S2?
This was honestly something I was kinda seeing coming. This must’ve been a decision they’ve been making for a looooong time. I say this because the skins used to have the full color in the background, then it was just a bar on the bottom, now it’s just a gray blue. Even when chapter 5 first came out, they still said what a certain skin’s rarity was if you hovered over it. I’m used to alphabetically sorting my stuff now, but the colors gave the skins and locker so much more life.
I actually had a dream bout old locker and rarities, and it makes me miss old fortnite, and hate the new one. I don't miss old gameplay, i miss old artstyle this game had
I know people would say oh it doesn't affect the gameplay but its a thing that you would prefer to have in the game because it just makes your locker colourful and helps you find skins easily
I also hate that they separated emotes from skin presets, it’s annoying! I only want certain emotes for certain skins. “Just make an emote preset for that skin” just keep the emotes in the skin presets!
i absolutely hate the entire UI change, i can't think of any change that i liked, just the skins presets, thats it, and i dislike that emotes are not included on those presets
I saw so many people say that "No! Epic wouldn't raise prices!" when this change was first done. Now we are getting skins that cost 1.5K V-bucks that don't even have a backbling or 2K V-buck "bundles". I haven't seen a new 800 or 1.2K V-buck skin in a good while.
Alright now name the skins we get now that cost 1.5k without backblings. Also did you forget them making legendaries back in the day which were just terrible like flytrap or Leviathan with nothing. Also there has been new skins lol
They keep bundling up skins now so for example, if you wanted to buy the new Iron Spider skin you’d have to also purchase a weapon wrap, a glider, an emote and a guitar skin. Not even mentioning they really tired to play off the Heroic Hope as a “three item bundle” because it counted the Lego style as an additional bonus
I was talking with my friend about why the newer seasons weren’t as popular. I think it’s because Fortnite changed its bones. It’s an analogy that goes that every game has “bones” to it that make the games identity. For some games it’s the style of it, others it’s guns, but for for to me it was the aesthetic and the movement/sounds . The aesthetic being the skins, the way the characters are styled, the lobby, the shop. The sounds and movement are unique to Fortnite the lack of sprint, the sound of a pump, the chest. But overtime they got rid of these things that make Fortnite Fortnite. Don’t get me wrong though You can change anything OUTSIDE of the bones of a game but if you change the bones the game loses its identity. Fortnite not looking or feeling like Fortnite is what’s losing players imo. The map and guns come and go and building isn’t considered a bone to me because there were times that nobody built and the game still felt like fort. But tbh they shouldn’t have ever changed the games aesthetic and movement. I get change is good but too much change and you have a different thing (I forget the quote) you need to keep the bones of a game at the bare minimum. That’s why people are begging for og seasons they want what they remember Fortnite being. It’s the same for games like overwatch and apex. Change anything but the bones because losing the identity of a game is something that can be felt, and usually it makes a lot of people leave. I just want the game to keep its bones man😢
6:19 agreed, compared to robux, vbucks is so expensive. The £17 I spent could’ve been spent on a whole indie game purchase, or some hardware, maybe a usb, or way more robux. Instead I spent it on the alien pack and I feel ripped off. I mean, I wanted it but it wasn’t worth the price.
I actually quit Fortnite over the ui and locker changes I have over 500 skins its a absolute pain finding my stuff it feels so slow and looks like a cheap mobile game I dont think im returning any time soon im just so sick of these horrible unnecessary changes I miss when the game had simple graphics and a good movement animation and im so sick of Fortnite not making stuff return because the stupid new lego mode
I made a couple videos about this topic. The change to the locker UI and removal of cosmetic rarity are just symptoms of the overall corporatization and Disneyfication of Fortnite. The game’s identity is long gone. It’s now just another cog in the Disney machine.
100% agree with you. I have almost 1,150 skins and it is a nitemare even trying to remember what skins I have. At least with the old system there was subcategories that helped keep track or narrow it down on which skin I was searching for. Fix it Epic.
@@Whiskers--5 imagine u had 1k+ skins. Sometimes u want to use a skin but u forgot its name, but remember its rarity, u sortby rarity. now we cant even do that. Also on controller even if u remembered the name u couldnt search it up without taking 5 minutes of ur life
It's 100% to upcharge cosmetic prices. Isn't it funny how the same day they removed rarities we got the Avatar skins released in the shop, and they were all priced at 2000 vbucks each.
This is all corporate greed, corporate greed has taken over this game and it has damaged it significantly. This whole removal of rarities is just the tip of the ice berg of what corporate greed has done to this game.
I really miss rarities, they were just a good way to categorize and find items, as it stands there is no good way to organize the locker anymore, the closest is sorting by season. Also, I remember subscribing because of the Taiga pfp, but I started to watch your videos and you actually have some pretty good commentary, it's legitimate criticism and not just "old fortnite was better" or "modern Fortnite is so great, people only like old Fortnite for nostalgia" You strike a nice middle ground on things that Fortnite has improved over the years, and the stuff they really didn't need to change at all.
Removing rarities because they said nothing will be exclusive or rare anymore yet the item shops they keep bringing is the same items we been getting for the longest time… like where is all the Marvel skins? Dc? Anime? Atp they need to give us a search button or at least a date when exactly something is coming back. Like can we please start a petition or something for this because its ridiculous how crappy the shops are everyday. And for the lockers we should be able to have an option to put rarity items first or something like that. Im tired of the game taking up all these gb just for them to screw us over on their end. And give us these slight changes. Like no give us what we want we are paying Epic and they arent listening to the majority of their fan base only the crybabies that want to nerf everything.
Not to mention how they separated everything with the new locker like making combos is more annoying because emotes and/or wraps are no longer combined with your skin, back bling and pickaxe. Also removing *every* pickaxe rarity was also pretty dumb. Like sure they're removing rarity but even pickaxes that are part of the Marvel series, Gaming Legends series, Icon Series, etc all show up as grey rarity
exactly! when they separated our presets it broke so many of them or just removed them, a lot of people had pride and joy making them just to get them mixed up cause of epic’s terrible new locker ui
the worst shit is that when i try to find my emotes i have no idea now what emotes i even have because i remebered them by the rarity like the salute emote i even forgot i had that one bc i never even saw it in the locker
The rarity system going away hasnt really bothered me that much, I always sorted based on season so I can still navigate my locker just fine I recommend everyone to switch from alphabetical to season if youre struggling to find the skin you want, I memorize skins based on the season they came out and it makes finding skins a breeze
@@Acidic_101 yeah and I’m saying I’ve never navigated through rarities I preferred using the season filter, so I wasn’t affected by the removal of rarity If everyone just filtered through season nobody would be having issues finding skins
This is what I did after they removed the rarities and it helps, but man it just lost that look that made it feel so accessible, which was mainly the new UI but this certainly didn’t help.
luckily, I already sorted out all my cosmetics from season instead of rarity, but I can fully understand why others would sort based on rarity instead, and there have definitely been instances where I went 'that skin released way earlier than I thought it did.'
I liked going through each new item instead of marking all as read. The new search bar is so annoying that I have not flipped through the majority of items from the last 4 seasons, I have like 20 something skins and well over 100 emotes
I never thought I'd see the day when people would be begging to be manipulated by a company, holy crap. It's like so many people never realized rarity never meant anything to begin with, it only existed for the sole purpose of manipulating you and everyone else into believing it was more valuable. It does NOTHING for the game, it's purely bad. People are just upset because the veil has finally been pulled back and they can see it for what it is. Skins can be more or less expensive for a variety of reasons, rarity had nothing to do with it. A company might request more of a cut for their collab skin so they make it more expensive to compensate. You never know, nor will you ever. Not the mention, in my opinion, the colors just made everything look worse; it's so much cleaner now. Just organize your locker like with favorites and archives, it's even better like that. If none of that was enough, consider that having your favorite skin be in a green or blue rarity could make you feel bad for NO REASON. Shaming someone for not spending more money is truly scummy beyond comprehension. It sounds like the only thing you want is a way to organize your locker better, if that's the case, then ask for that specifically. I can and will never support the abusive manipulation of human beings for profit, you're sick.
I agree it’s pitiful honestly I’m sick of the “one size fits all” bullshit that’s being forced down our throats, it’s not just in Fortnite mostly all things media feel like this grey mesh of everything being the same. I miss individuality and creativity in games and other media I hope one day we’ll return to it

collecting skins was so fun for me because id unlock like say spiderman and be excited to look through my emotes like "oo that fits spiderman, thats something he would do!" and choose the wrap and everything and really express myself with my presets, but now that they're all spread out i dont get excited for that anymore, i no longer even change my emotes or save emote presets, now everything is just 1 giant 3 wide column of skins that i cant even look at them all to appreciate, the old system had them sprawling from one side of the screen to the other so i could really see all of my presets, and collecting these presets and allowing me to express myself is what made me buy skins i otherwise wouldnt if i had a cool combo in mind with them

It also makes it so that the tier 100 skin just doesn’t feel that special anymore, since they have removed rarity, it just makes the tier 100 skin look like it could’ve been the tier 1 skin tbh

@@urbnctrlyou could but it will cost like 100+ to buy all the skins, or you could just buy the battlepass for $10
Getting a legendary skin in the shop for the first time felt amazing, maybe its just me, but knowing the fact it was “Legendary” was amazing and made it more special to me back then
"if it aint broke dont fix it."

Well said freind 😂
If it ain't broke break it over and over - epic
This mindset would have saved Fortnite from making stupid changes at least 10 times by now.
@@Ryzer235 this mindset would’ve saved a bunch of games… including TH-cam because nobody really asked for the dislike button to be removed or for them to bring the ‘Channels’ tab beneath the ‘Home’ tag without anyone knowing that they were about to changing some dumb shi like that
Personally, I don't think it's a "bad" update. I think it's a stupid, FUCKING USELESS and FUCKING ANNOYING update.
🫠
So yeah pretty bad
So it's bad
Exactly
Nah not really
Thanks for talking about this man, I’ve been begging for months and I thought no one cared 😭.
Don't forget some cosmetics still have their rarities, shadow, dark and lava series too
Yep
nd DC, Marvel,gaming
It's so dumb
One of my least favourite parts about the new locker isn’t even removing the rarities, I just hate the fact that the emotes, lobby items, etc are all in separate tabs with separate presets. I set up a lot of my skins with coexisting emotes and stuff to match the skin, but now whenever I wanna swap to a certain skin preset, I’ve gotta go and change the emote preset, lobby preset, car preset, it’s all very tedious and annoying and I hope that they implement something that lets you attach separate presets together so you don’t have to keep switching things around and flipping between tabs just to make sure you’ve put everything together properly.
My silver lining from the removal of rarities has that I now give what was low rarity skins/backblings a second look
Prior to this update, I would never create skin combos with uncommon items, but with the removal of the colors, I now pay attention to items I've had for years that I've blatantly ignored.
I think that (optimistically) was the point of taking away rarities. It’s definitely the best way to look at it
Nahh that was just stupid of u bro.
7:52 they've done it with cars, just in this chapter alone we've gotten like 12 new rarities for all the car brands
Everyone’s favourite rarity, McLaren
I hate that wraps, skins, loading screens and emotes are separate from the skin presets
Emotes are fine cuz I hated changing all my presets just cuz I changed 1 emote
But wraps , skins and loading screen should be in 1 place
Its so annoying. I feel like im scrolling netflix now. It takes forever to find anything without a keyboard.
The hole lobby ui sucks, the game modes, Shop, locker, and even the career tab, are all hands down awful
Same
@@Nrbeck dude the competitive tab doesn't even make sense. Why not allow us to join those modes from that tab?
@@yayayaokoksure the competitive tab has been untouched for like 5 years now
@@RC568 ya I forget about it until I see a reminder about ranked gliders the past few seasons. The UI definitely regressed.
If you ask me, you’re spitting FACTS! Because my brother and I use to collect all the skins and now that they have no rarity he doesn’t care about them anymore. The gameplay was always a bonus but the skins and rarity and collecting and the locker mattered.
My Take- they should’ve added a few new series.
Featured/Multiverse: could be ANY SKIN THAT IS A COLLAB (Jack sparrow/sara Conner)
Animated: ALL ANIMATED SKINS- Naruto/even the fortnite skins that are animated.
And that would’ve been the change that would’ve mattered more, having cosmetics with new rarity would be exciting/ something new and fresh!
Not abandoning it all together
ALSO: Fortnite clearly sees its profitable to release marvel skins at whatever value or DC skins at whatever value.
But making cyclops 2000 with pickaxe is dumb. And jubilee separate and picksxe separate costs more Vbucks…makes no sense- the cosmetics aren’t even attached to the character
@joelburgos283 i think they might make a Pixar Series when the incredibles come out later this year. They might also make a Disney classics series for Captain Hook and Cruella.
i miss my rarities. i hate seeing grey pickaxes whenever i login
You still haven’t gotten used to it? I’m fine with it, it’s something to not even stress about
@@republic1173 it’s just ugly imo
@@cukoilthe least they could do is allow us to choose a display color for the pickaxes
@@republic1173you dont understand it was way easier finding a skin in the locker with rarities until the locker ui change
'cause of that I am using DC pickaxes
Recently returned to Fortnite and almost immediately left because of the menu and locker layout, I had no idea how bad it had gotten.
Same. A lot of stuff got worse about the game... They said the metaverse was going to expand the game, but what happened was we got three game modes that a lot of people don't care about, one game mode heavily limited the battle royale store, the store cosmetics are just rotating the same few things over and over, and Epic Games are just making random decisions to change things that don't need to be changed and end up upsetting people.
ong you have the best pov on fortnite, i wish they see this and actually do something instead of updating the rocket racing and lego modes
Every season this chapter, they made one major change. Season 1 was movement and UI, season 2 was rarities, season 3/4 was ending exclusivity in battle passes.
Ending exclusively is also… pretty dumb.
@scoob_11e27 i used to have an og account, from ch1s4 to about ch3. It had all my favorite skins, such as the ice king, omega, iron man, Midas, and others. I lost the account now and started fresh in ch2s7. I wish I could play as those skins again, but I only can when my friend comes over and lets me use his Xbox. The only reason I’m in this mess of not being able to use those skins again is because of exclusivity. IMO they should have done this earlier.
@@ace_renegade21 that sucks but it doesn’t change my opinion. You’ll never get those skins back unfortunately, but I think Battlepasses should stay the way they were intended. This is no different than the rarities issue, when having an exclusive skin meant something, just like a legendary did. I’m not necessarily against it anymore, the game is kinda bad now.
@@scoob_11e27 I think removing exclusivity is good, it removes a lot of FOMO from the game, since now if you don't grind the battle pass every season, you can always just buy the skins later
@@scoob_11e27 I remember when everyone was excited to get legendary skins. Now it doesn’t mean anything. I
But, if I started in chapter 6, and they didn’t make this battle pass exclusive, imagine how mad I would have been if they just kept gatekeeping battle pass. Gatekeeping/FOMO is a really outdated business tactic.
it's unfortunate to see fortnite spiral down
They could easily make these new rarities such as Disney Series, Warner Bros Series, Paramount Series, Etc.
And uncommon series, rare series, epic series, and legendary series
I think disney has to do with rarities removed - they own star wars/marvel and people would buy those skins since they have special rarities, it has happened before they removed rarities but more after rarities removed. The marvel season wasn't too long after rarities were removed.
Disney supposedly owns 9% of Fortnite, but it feels like they own 85% of it now with how much it has been collaborating with Fortnite...
Remember when you clicked on recent and it showed you the newest thing you unlocked first?
I miss that
Seeing the rarity line up for all the skins in the locker looked so good. Luckily I am a memory person & took individual photos of my Skins in their rarity.
I miss seeing the rarity, just made it so much better.
let's start a petition to restore the items rarity and send it to epic games
Making bp skins exclusive and putting collabs in it was their biggest mistake
wdym, collabs in battle passes happened in chapter 2 season 4 and that was the second greatest season of all time (C2 S2 being number 1)
@@Gxmergeddonwe know, we’re saying that putting collabs in battle passes was such a huge mistake, because a majority of older players don’t play any,ore. But they weren’t thinking about future players at the time, they prioritized older players, and as a result, newer players may never get the chance to get their favorite characters because epic was more concerned about making people buy the battle pass at the time.
This is the only comment in this entire thread that makes sense 😂 everyone on this video is worried about the wrong shit. 💀 why the hell would you make battle passes exclusive when you know people in the future who have NEVER played Fortnite (kids or adults) are GONNA want them?? The reason older players are sad is because…it doesn’t look the same? Are you kidding me??
What about little johnny who can’t play as the regular fucking Spider-man? What about jenny who couldn’t finish the season because she was busy studying her ass off? 🙄
@@jawdn9744 what about the fact that fomo is way more addictive than gambling but its legal
@jawdn9744 the wrong thing, lol? I mean the video is about fortnite lockers ui. If you wanna see a video about them hiding collab skins behind battle passes then you will find it on TH-cam. And if they miss out on the skin then they can't do nothing about that, they're already gone and we just have to deal with it, they have plenty of other collaboration skins that come in the shop every now and then
It’s like a business decision probably, they can jack up prices and not have to change rarities which will go under some peoples radars, also it encourages cheaper skins to be bought because you don’t get turned off by the blue or green rarities
GUYS lets start a petition so rarities come back!!
Its so that they can sell cosmetics for a wild upcharge without any consequence because the skins in question dont have any rarity anymore, so they dont have to follow a strict pricing system
Fortnite needs to stop changing things that don’t need to be changed. The lobby, item shop, locker, quests, legacy achievements, and win stats are so messed up now
And the movement. I’m still mad they changed it
Tim Sweeney and the rest of the higher ups at Epic don’t understand how a video game is supposed to work and are only it for the money and corporate stuff. Glad Donald left before it got bad so his name didn’t get dragged in the mud when he was actually the only who cared about the game itself and not money and collabs.
@@prince-bm4xtthey changed it back though???
@@TheCheeksBClappin what? No they didn’t. Chapter 5 ruined the movement
Chapter 5 ruined everything. Shooting system, movement, basically entire gameplay is ass, also when did fortnite remove siphon? Was it when Ranked came out in I believe C4S2?
This game changed as a whole so much it’s crazy fortnite is just multiverse to the point I don’t feel like they make original characters anymore
This was honestly something I was kinda seeing coming. This must’ve been a decision they’ve been making for a looooong time. I say this because the skins used to have the full color in the background, then it was just a bar on the bottom, now it’s just a gray blue. Even when chapter 5 first came out, they still said what a certain skin’s rarity was if you hovered over it. I’m used to alphabetically sorting my stuff now, but the colors gave the skins and locker so much more life.
I actually had a dream bout old locker and rarities, and it makes me miss old fortnite, and hate the new one. I don't miss old gameplay, i miss old artstyle this game had
I wish they’d go back. I would rather go back to the old days than living in an metaverse soulless game.
But bro don't you want the newest Disney variant from one of those franchises they absolutely destroyed?
real.
game is not "soulless"
@@gamerbeast3616it kind of is. That’s literally why people enjoyed the game so much back then
@@gamerbeast3616 It's the definition of it.
We need to bring back the rarity and get the favorites on top.
They can also add a sort filter to organise your locker by yourself. So you can choose where your skin must be in the locker.
bro you are genuinely one of the most entertaining contents creators of all time
I know people would say oh it doesn't affect the gameplay but its a thing that you would prefer to have in the game because it just makes your locker colourful and helps you find skins easily
I also hate that they separated emotes from skin presets, it’s annoying! I only want certain emotes for certain skins. “Just make an emote preset for that skin” just keep the emotes in the skin presets!
I feel like when they removed the colored backgrounds for the locker, was the beginning of the downfall
Good vid, and you are actually spitting facts. This issue needs to be solved!
The locker, the weapons not being hitscan, the movement animation, and the graphics to an extend, all of this made me quit fortnite, and its a shame
i absolutely hate the entire UI change, i can't think of any change that i liked, just the skins presets, thats it, and i dislike that emotes are not included on those presets
emotes and wraps being seperated from the main loadout was so dumb
I saw so many people say that "No! Epic wouldn't raise prices!" when this change was first done.
Now we are getting skins that cost 1.5K V-bucks that don't even have a backbling or 2K V-buck "bundles".
I haven't seen a new 800 or 1.2K V-buck skin in a good while.
Alright now name the skins we get now that cost 1.5k without backblings. Also did you forget them making legendaries back in the day which were just terrible like flytrap or Leviathan with nothing. Also there has been new skins lol
Also yes they are in fact bundles. 2k v-bucks for bundles/all cosmetics is better than a 2k v-buck flytrap or leviathan
Also remember that some collab skins now have multiple versions that you need to buy even though they should just be edit styles
The last new skin I remember being 800 vbucks was blair
They keep bundling up skins now so for example, if you wanted to buy the new Iron Spider skin you’d have to also purchase a weapon wrap, a glider, an emote and a guitar skin. Not even mentioning they really tired to play off the Heroic Hope as a “three item bundle” because it counted the Lego style as an additional bonus
Everything is just too complicated and messy now. Everything was neat and simple before.
Y’all remember when we could directly pick a saved load out after a game instead of going all the way back to the lobby or having it randomized
I hate this change because I have more trouble looking for an outfit.
I just love goofy shooter games so much because randomly deciding to have a dance party in the middle of ww3
I really miss Donald Mustard
mustard wasn’t any better lmao
@@fanumgoon he was tho
I was talking with my friend about why the newer seasons weren’t as popular. I think it’s because Fortnite changed its bones. It’s an analogy that goes that every game has “bones” to it that make the games identity. For some games it’s the style of it, others it’s guns, but for for to me it was the aesthetic and the movement/sounds . The aesthetic being the skins, the way the characters are styled, the lobby, the shop. The sounds and movement are unique to Fortnite the lack of sprint, the sound of a pump, the chest. But overtime they got rid of these things that make Fortnite Fortnite. Don’t get me wrong though You can change anything OUTSIDE of the bones of a game but if you change the bones the game loses its identity. Fortnite not looking or feeling like Fortnite is what’s losing players imo. The map and guns come and go and building isn’t considered a bone to me because there were times that nobody built and the game still felt like fort. But tbh they shouldn’t have ever changed the games aesthetic and movement. I get change is good but too much change and you have a different thing (I forget the quote) you need to keep the bones of a game at the bare minimum. That’s why people are begging for og seasons they want what they remember Fortnite being. It’s the same for games like overwatch and apex. Change anything but the bones because losing the identity of a game is something that can be felt, and usually it makes a lot of people leave. I just want the game to keep its bones man😢
My thing is when you hover over a skin and then choose "edit style" the game chooses the skin!!!
God that's so fuckin' frustrating..
You never fail with making such banger videos its been hit after hit man, just phenomenal work! Easily your one of my favorite Fortnite yters.
Also seeing the grey at the pickaxe area it just looks sad
Agreed
It looks depressing 😭
I haven’t played the game in forever, but right now I just feel like getting back on.
6:19 agreed, compared to robux, vbucks is so expensive. The £17 I spent could’ve been spent on a whole indie game purchase, or some hardware, maybe a usb, or way more robux. Instead I spent it on the alien pack and I feel ripped off. I mean, I wanted it but it wasn’t worth the price.
I hate how the emotes, wraps, and banner, I had saved for a certain preset is now separated
remember collecting all rare skins
Let's not forget about the legacy achievements, and how they just disappeared along with the superior ui
The Locker UI is terrible. The preset loadouts is too small it hides my skins. I wish i could see them from a distance so I can see how many I have.
i agree like a million percent. the whole locker ui sucks. i’ve been saying this ever since they changed it for chapter 5
I actually quit Fortnite over the ui and locker changes I have over 500 skins its a absolute pain finding my stuff it feels so slow and looks like a cheap mobile game I dont think im returning any time soon im just so sick of these horrible unnecessary changes I miss when the game had simple graphics and a good movement animation and im so sick of Fortnite not making stuff return because the stupid new lego mode
boo hoo no one cares buddy, also the long ass paragraph was so unnecessary
@@fanumgoon sorry this is coming from an og so you chapter 4 kids won’t understand
If chapter 6 doesn’t have a total overhaul for the UI I’ve lost all hope
Disney bought and ruined Fortnite
I made a couple videos about this topic. The change to the locker UI and removal of cosmetic rarity are just symptoms of the overall corporatization and Disneyfication of Fortnite. The game’s identity is long gone. It’s now just another cog in the Disney machine.
I swear ever since they remove rarity from locker I can’t find anything in there since
Till this day I still have trouble finding different cosmetic since the rarities were removed
I cant wait until next chapter when they remove all rarities so you can't tell how good weapons are. You just have to know.
I used to be able to find my skins easily but ever since then this update pissed me off
Short answer: corporate greed
There was a lawsuit which caused epic to have to remove rarities and add a text showing how long the skin works stay in the item shop.
The locker system didn’t need to be changed, expanded for a new type of cosmetics yes but full on change no.
This vid is great, i also want them to bring account merging back
100% agree with you. I have almost 1,150 skins and it is a nitemare even trying to remember what skins I have. At least with the old system there was subcategories that helped keep track or narrow it down on which skin I was searching for. Fix it Epic.
It’s not hard to find skins bruh
@@republic1173It really is. Let's not gaslight. It's much harder now.
It’s really not difficult at all let’s not gaslight ourselves
Yes dad
@@Whiskers--5 imagine u had 1k+ skins. Sometimes u want to use a skin but u forgot its name, but remember its rarity, u sortby rarity. now we cant even do that. Also on controller even if u remembered the name u couldnt search it up without taking 5 minutes of ur life
It's 100% to upcharge cosmetic prices. Isn't it funny how the same day they removed rarities we got the Avatar skins released in the shop, and they were all priced at 2000 vbucks each.
This is all corporate greed, corporate greed has taken over this game and it has damaged it significantly. This whole removal of rarities is just the tip of the ice berg of what corporate greed has done to this game.
I find it funny how corporate greed is the reason why companies lose money. It hurts itself in it's confusion every time.
WE WANT RARITIES BACK
I really miss rarities, they were just a good way to categorize and find items, as it stands there is no good way to organize the locker anymore, the closest is sorting by season.
Also, I remember subscribing because of the Taiga pfp, but I started to watch your videos and you actually have some pretty good commentary, it's legitimate criticism and not just "old fortnite was better" or "modern Fortnite is so great, people only like old Fortnite for nostalgia"
You strike a nice middle ground on things that Fortnite has improved over the years, and the stuff they really didn't need to change at all.
Removing rarities because they said nothing will be exclusive or rare anymore yet the item shops they keep bringing is the same items we been getting for the longest time… like where is all the Marvel skins? Dc? Anime? Atp they need to give us a search button or at least a date when exactly something is coming back. Like can we please start a petition or something for this because its ridiculous how crappy the shops are everyday. And for the lockers we should be able to have an option to put rarity items first or something like that.
Im tired of the game taking up all these gb just for them to screw us over on their end. And give us these slight changes. Like no give us what we want we are paying Epic and they arent listening to the majority of their fan base only the crybabies that want to nerf everything.
If Donald mustard didn’t leave maybe Fortnite would’ve been better
literally
The Master Chief trailer was actually perfectly timed💀💀💀
Not to mention how they separated everything with the new locker like making combos is more annoying because emotes and/or wraps are no longer combined with your skin, back bling and pickaxe.
Also removing *every* pickaxe rarity was also pretty dumb. Like sure they're removing rarity but even pickaxes that are part of the Marvel series, Gaming Legends series, Icon Series, etc all show up as grey rarity
exactly! when they separated our presets it broke so many of them or just removed them, a lot of people had pride and joy making them just to get them mixed up cause of epic’s terrible new locker ui
As someone who’s played since chapter one
This new ui system from the locker to the play tab to the store etc is genuinely just sh*t
W take man. Epic just ruins it for the sake of Change. It was not outdated since they updated the rarities for chapter 5. Liars
the worst shit is that when i try to find my emotes i have no idea now what emotes i even have because i remebered them by the rarity like the salute emote i even forgot i had that one bc i never even saw it in the locker
The rarity system going away hasnt really bothered me that much, I always sorted based on season so I can still navigate my locker just fine
I recommend everyone to switch from alphabetical to season if youre struggling to find the skin you want, I memorize skins based on the season they came out and it makes finding skins a breeze
It’s not that. You used to also be able to navigate through skins using rarities
@@Acidic_101 yeah and I’m saying I’ve never navigated through rarities I preferred using the season filter, so I wasn’t affected by the removal of rarity
If everyone just filtered through season nobody would be having issues finding skins
This is what I did after they removed the rarities and it helps, but man it just lost that look that made it feel so accessible, which was mainly the new UI but this certainly didn’t help.
@@x-modulator4067 rarities we’re aesthetically pleasing yeah 😔
luckily, I already sorted out all my cosmetics from season instead of rarity, but I can fully understand why others would sort based on rarity instead, and there have definitely been instances where I went 'that skin released way earlier than I thought it did.'
I liked going through each new item instead of marking all as read. The new search bar is so annoying that I have not flipped through the majority of items from the last 4 seasons, I have like 20 something skins and well over 100 emotes
I never thought I'd see the day when people would be begging to be manipulated by a company, holy crap. It's like so many people never realized rarity never meant anything to begin with, it only existed for the sole purpose of manipulating you and everyone else into believing it was more valuable. It does NOTHING for the game, it's purely bad.
People are just upset because the veil has finally been pulled back and they can see it for what it is. Skins can be more or less expensive for a variety of reasons, rarity had nothing to do with it. A company might request more of a cut for their collab skin so they make it more expensive to compensate. You never know, nor will you ever.
Not the mention, in my opinion, the colors just made everything look worse; it's so much cleaner now. Just organize your locker like with favorites and archives, it's even better like that.
If none of that was enough, consider that having your favorite skin be in a green or blue rarity could make you feel bad for NO REASON. Shaming someone for not spending more money is truly scummy beyond comprehension.
It sounds like the only thing you want is a way to organize your locker better, if that's the case, then ask for that specifically. I can and will never support the abusive manipulation of human beings for profit, you're sick.
your so right dude haha, saying the point of buying a skin is to see the colour in the background of it on a menu screen is so dumb
I agree it’s pitiful honestly I’m sick of the “one size fits all” bullshit that’s being forced down our throats, it’s not just in Fortnite mostly all things media feel like this grey mesh of everything being the same. I miss individuality and creativity in games and other media I hope one day we’ll return to it
