This is true, they took trading out of rocket league when rocket racing came out because no one played it, now they’re trying to siphon players off STW
Making Save the World worth less to the Battle Pass does not make me want to play Battle Royal more, it makes me want to not bother with the Battle Pass.
Because it uses server costs and they don't profit from it. Just how greedy corporations work. They can't just deny you access for something you paid for, so they want to convince you to not play it at all.
I was so frustrated. First they stop adding content, then they insult founders by taking away our vbuck bonuses, now they’re continuing to siphon our XP away from the game mode that most of us started playing Fortnite for. It’s absurd and just money hungry executives pushing all this bs music and car collabs. I hope the shoes, festival, and whatever else they’re pushing brand wise, tanks. I’m so sick of it.

@@IvoOFC-fp7kgyeah and if they ever decided to just remove the game mode by force then that’s going to make a lot of players furious. Especially me since that I own the Ultimate founders edition

@@Robo_Catt Which is BULLSHIT mind you, because me personally, I think Save the World has crazy potential as both a game and an opportunity for epic to make money. Plus it's Fortnite BEFORE "Fortnite" the OG OG game. They care so much about Rocket Racing, Lego, and Festival, yet Save the world gets neglected despite having the strongest and most dedicated playerbase.
“Save the World” really had potential, it’s a shame epic didn’t see it as well. But honestly what really ticks me off about this situation is how Epic keeps trying to sideline the mod, despite how they’ve always been incorporating certain weapons and features from “Save the World” into BR and other mods like “Lego”. The mod truly deserves better
It makes a sad level of sense. Remember, if my memory serves, STW was a failure, and they threw together BR as an attempt to get people to look at STW: That backfired, and the BR blew up bigger than anyone could have predicted. From their perspective, STW has *always* lagged behind, despite being the actual Fortnite.
I’m like 99% sure the xp cap change is purely greed. Notice how you used to be able to finish the battle pass in 2 weeks if you grind hard enough? Well now with the changes to the crew pack, I think they want to force players to keep paying for the crew pack (if they get the passes from it) by slowing us down from claiming all the rewards.
Absolutely beautiful take, and so true, once Donald Mustard left this game they have turned on us, the players, and corporate greed have taken over!!! THIS IS WHAT WILL KILL FORTNITE and turn it into Roblox clone
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who caught on this 🎯 Epic really taxed tf out this szn & they definitely letting the greed get to them. I hope the community can get together to spread the mssg & let epic know that they needa be thankful that the community is keeping there game where it is atm. I really hope we can get these things out there 🎯
Save the world literally carried me through the Chapter 2 drought during covid. I don't know why but I can constantly keep replaying stw and not get bored
@@om-gha I don't play battle, I love STW but that doesn't mean I don't want to complete the battle pass I already paid so it affects me, I have years playing just a few matches in battle just because of the win umbrella, I enjoy STW but I still want the battle pass cosmetics, I was even thinking to buy the crew thing so I would get a lot of cosmetic at a reasonable price, I used to play stw so much in the last season of chapter 5 that I reached level 500 for first time so yes, it affects every single STW player, no matter if they like it or not, even the people that just did daily missions to get vbucks they get XP for that, sometimes you have to repeat missions several times (for example the tv ones, I have days that no matter what I do, just get 3 tvs per mission so at one moment I get tired and just do it 3 by 3 so just there I need to do 7 missions for 1 single daily and that consumes a lot of the limit)
@gamerbeast3616 that's what I enjoy, doing weeklies for superchargers, fighting the mythic storm king, yesterday I spent like 5 hours doing some remodeling at my storm shield so it can look cooler, I have been trying the beta mission a lot of times to see how fast I can do it, I experiment my own hero builds and play a lot of 160s to farm scheme upgrading mats, battle or the other modes are not that interesting for me, I already build a big base in lego with a friend and we have tons of resources, rocket racing no, festival I already played a lot but it's the same thing touching the same songs, battle is just searching a match, loot and win, I don't say it's not funny but STW is tons of time more enjoyable for me and it's my favorite mode.
For real. I remember playing last year and making 17 levels an hour. I didn't mind the cap around 23 levels a day because you could have the battlepass done in a day with save the world. And the funny thing is, you still make less playing battle Royale than save the world. Even if you do good and win a couple matches here and there. Even the new mode ballistic has got horrible xp gain. I make more on playing creative maps than ballistic.
STW is a shell of its former self. No more daily rewards no V-Bucks anymore if you buy stw now. No new missions, no new items or Weapons, just old things reused. So sad ☹️ they should'nt change a payed game like this
its funny how they mistreat stw despite the fact it sometimes has more players than lego fortnite and festival lol, i think they are trying to get more stw players to play lego fortnite as its "similar" to stw
Disclaimer: I'm someone who plays STW because I enjoy it, it's the main mode of Fortnite I play, accounting for 95%+ of my time in Fortnite. I play a bit of BR at the start of the new season until I get the umbrella and then knock out the weekly challenges, but that's about it. I don't play Lego or Festival, and only occasionally RR. I don't believe the BP XP nerf was to try to get people to change to other modes, I believe it's to slow down how quickly people can complete the various battlepasses, especially when it comes to Crew - If you cancel Crew, you lose access to the premium track in things like the Lego pass, but you keep the rewards you've already claimed. If you can complete all the passes in under a month, you can cancel Crew for the remaining months of the season and keep your rewards. If you take two months to complete all of the passes, Epic gets 2 months subscription. It's not targeted at STW specifically, it's across the board in Fornite. Moving on to the daily challenges, a lot of people have picked up on the "except in Save The World" tag. Again, I don't believe this is meant to be a disincentive to play STW, but more that the daily challenges in Save The World are different to the other modes. In the other modes, you have three daily rewards available in every mode, and if you complete one, it's refreshed with a new one into perpetuity. In STW, you get one per day, and it doesn't get refreshed if you complete it. They operate completely differently, although they're called the same things.
This feels like a higher up or someone leading the Dev team at Epic just doesn’t like save the world. The constant neglect the mode has gotten throughout the years is very strange. It has sooo much potential too wtf.
man i used to play this and watch your videos years ago. shame it seems to have gone this far downhill, i played it nonstop summer of 18 and summer of 22. keep it up my man, i hope for the best.
Humankind have a knack for embracing the worst things in anything. In video games, one is disrespecting and neglecting some (sometimes most) of their community’s truest, most patient, respectful and supportive players for some agenda, something toxic and/or something soulless. Great video, Aone.
A1 , Epic been doing this for years after BR got popular, the refusal to expand SDW has always been to get players to buy battle passes. I have always been frank about Devs intentionally doing stupid shit that will not improve SDW, it always goes on def ears.
I don't get why they'd give us an awesome new hero, a new bow, and the whole questline... but then turn around and do this. I was starting to feel hopeful about STW, but this killed it. And now I'm pissed I wasted all this money on skins... I do NOT like BR. I only play that to unlock Lego decor, which I was also forced to do. Glad you made this video, I had no idea. I thought I just maxed my XP out for the day. 😢💔
My only true hope is that this single event causes a rise in player count for save the world as all the players who do or do not care to show that they want this glorious game to stay. #savestw
THANK YOU! I haven’t enjoyed playing this new chapter so far, so I’m doing stw for the whole season, I absolutely hate the epic devs with how money hungry they are
Another crazy thing is that STW doesn’t even appear in the new App screen/ the new menu for the game. Which is just crazy considering how important STW was/is to Fortnite as a whole.
a weekly xp cap is possibly the worst idea they could've come up with. yesterday I got 13 levels in Creative. today I was struggling to get even a single level and pretty often my progress was reset. 20k+ xp not counting after I went back to the lobby. I doubt this will stop me from reaching level 200 by the end of the season or at least I hope it won't. I heard that Festival doesn't have this xp cap, but I haven't tested it myself.
Epic conveniently forgot that people paid so much for founders. Founders of which Epic screwed over by abandoned the game without finishing it. That’s the AAA equivalent of a kickstarter scam.
The sad thing about this is, they’ve got rid of their legacy for battle royale and all these other game modes, what was the point in doing that, they have teams dedicated to all these separate modes but can’t focus their original plan, it’s sad they thin themselves out so much they forget what they started
I think the main issue is the new crew system, ya know, where premium rewards for the passes are only claimable when the crew is active? I think they reduced XP for many modes so that you have to play more for the rewards, and that in turn means you have to spend more time staying subscribed to the crew to claim them, which means more money for epic. I've seen many people say that gaining levels is harder this season, and I think that's why. That's also probably why you only get refunds for the passes within 14 days of buying them, so then people don't wait to buy the crew until they can get all the rewards, and get their V-Bucks back anyways. At this point, I wouldn't get the crew until after 14 days of buying the battle pass, so then you get your 1,000 V-Bucks anyways, and then just get the other small passes within the time of your crew. And if you ABSOLUTELY want the rewards, resubscribe to the crew. If you were already subscribed to the crew, before the season launched, and it ended recently, DON'T buy it again. It'll make you have to claim those rewards by staying subscribed to the crew. I think to make this situation better, we need to boycott the crew, and not subscribe to it. They'll keep things this way to make more money, and they can't do that if crew sales drop.
@WeatherMan2005 it's just an "approval" rating for epic to know which players go above and beyond to help or did a good job in the missions. Games have this to know who might just be leeching/camping and of course for reporting reasons. Also, very interesting username dude... Crazy movie many people haven't seen which has nick cage. I enjoyed it.
I like the idea of a weekly cap a lot, makes it so you don’t have to play daily to maximize xp. but it’s incredibly stupid that the cap wasn’t increased 7x the amount or around that much when that’s how much the length before reset was increased.
This. I almost don't want to play this season because it feels like such a slog even when I place #1 in BR and get like 11-17 eliminations, I get like less than half a level if even that. But I already spent money on the thing so like...ugh.
Well said. Their job is to passionately hate save the world and they give it all they got. Actually feel kinda sorry for those 5 people working on stw and actually care for the community.
That trap thing is weird. I wonder if it works in Endurance homebase Also, Save the World is like there second highest where players play. Definitely beating the other new modes
There was nothing wrong with the way XP was being gained, and no one complained about it. Why did Epic mess with something that didn't need messing with? Also, why did Epic change the BR daily quests to exclude Save The World in earning XP by naming it. How rude! I mean, I don't mind if they tweak the amount you can earn daily, but to cap us with weekly XP is really rough. I mean, I thought it was brilliant that they let STW gain BP XP. What a great change that was. Gave me a reason to purchase the battle pass, as I could do the whole pass with bonus levels without having to touch BR at all. Heck, I didn't have to touch any other mode, and why would I. I love playing STW and not the other modes, and being able to gain all the BR XP in STW was a great move by Epic. But now doing this nerf to XP, you will barely be able to complete the pass, leat alone do any of the bonus levels, by just playing STW.
They excluded it because you only get one daily quest per day in STW. Unlike all other game modes where you get 3 quests that get replaced with new ones as you complete them.
I’m one of those who just can’t put the game down. That’s all I play is STW hours on hours. Outside of work. Me personally, though, I could care less about the battle pass XP because I don’t play any other modes. However, they do need to get their stuff in gear and fix this for the others. If STW was to go, I honestly don’t know what game I’d play. Like I said, all I know is STW. I’d be devastated like many others.
I'm a save the world player with or without XP. But this shouldn't be overlooked. Epic needs to fix this to keep the game alive. Save The World fell to make battle Royal fly and has been in the backburner behind the success of BR for a long time now. It's time they gave some love for STW and help it pull in more players instead of luring them away. The game has gained a good number of faithful players such as myself, and it would really suck if they're trying to pull the plug on this amazing game.
It makes me so sad save the world is such a good game its really unique and when the devs cared about it it really was amazing I'll always miss when the game was still supported I love battle royal but I wish they would show the og game some love if it still had the support it did when frostnite and storm king was coming out it would honestly be one of there most played game modes sadly clearly theyve left it to die😢
This season is difficult to level up because of the crew pack. They only made these changes to the crew to get more people to subscribe and make people finish the battle pass as quickly as possible. But it's obviously a lot harder, especially if you don't play all day
Haven’t been on fortnite or your channel in a while. Got this in my recommended and I’m dumbfounded by Epics constant sabotage of stw. It was the whole reason I ever played fortnite back in 2017. Much love Aone ❤
If you think about it, they are trying to avoud people getting an absurd number of level in a very short time (they capped Lego, Creative and other modes too) because they are pushing really hard the crew pack system. If you buy the crew you unlock every battlepass but temporary, you can only redeem stuff while you pay, so the casual player is forced to buy the crew pack every month in order to be able to continue to redeem BP stuff.
I’ve had save the world since 2018, I haven’t played it much until this new chapter, with I haven’t enjoyed playing so far, so I decided to play save the world instead for a while so I could try to complete more of the story, this is so dumb that epic is doing this
I just love an A1 rant! Well said Sir, my sentiments exactly. Imagine shitting on the players who in the beginning (BEFORE BATTLE ROYALE) helped fund your game - the Founders. You're the ultimate OG Fortnite TH-camr. I've been here since the beginning, your opinion means a lot, so I'm happy you voiced it.❣
It uses server costs and they don't profit from it. Just how greedy corporations work. They can't just deny you access for something you paid for, so they want to convince you to not play it at all.
Thanks A1 for speaking out on this. I am thinking of all of the good peeps we lost along the way that made freaking awesome STW content. When epic turned the lights out in Georgia, so to speak. I have tried to play several time since, it's not the same all my peeps moved on. I am OG player founders pack, after Epic kicked STW to the curb, I started hate Vbuck playing I kid you not. I was on a mission no real money was ever going to epic again. That's how I got my battle pass for a few runs, I just stopped all together. Last few days all of sudden I am seeing Fortnite in my feeds I was like what is going on. Now I know why & with this infor I won't be jumping in now. Thanks for all you do for STW A1😎
I don't know why Epic care? I mean players in StW are still in their ecosystem and not playing games from Epics competitors. Also, they keep updating StW with new heroes and weapons, so they obviously want to support it.
I believe the reasoning behind this has more to do with epic wanting to shut down XP farming. And people AFKing endurance etc to just complete a battle pass is trying to be limited. If epic wanted to be greedy they should release a stw pass like they have for Lego and festival. That would probably even drive more people to stw
The worst part of it all is if players continue to play anyway Epic Games will continue making Save the World more unplayable. On the other hand if we stop playing Save the World they also get what they want and have an excuse to pull it. It's sad to see a game mode you've spent so many hours on be so neglected for literal greed. Multi billion dollar company that can't spare a bit of change to their original mode.
as someone who has been playing since 2017, it makes me really sad to see them kill off what i personally consider a gamemode with more personality and less of an ad than their other gamemodes.
i still remember when back in early chapter 1 epic had talked about giving founders free rewards monthly which ended up never happening and all founders got was the Warpaint skin and Rose Team Leader skin. I thought it was fine not giving free stuff for being a founder cause we still got free vbucks in STW but i think epic probably regrets the free vbucks in STW and is now slowly trying to get the player base low enough for them to shut it all down or just get founders away from the vbuck dailies but i think a decision like that would not be a good idea for epic even if they compensate founders with free stuff even then epic needs to accept with or without vbucks people like fortnite for what it originally was. STW was a 60$ game it is not some metaverse mode
Festival XP got nerfed to the ground too, honestly feels worse than STW. I don’t think they’re trying to get rid of Festival, I think they just screwed up when trying to rebalance all the xp for the new season and crew granting all passes now. I do not think this is a hit job on STW, but I understand how we STW people get in our feels about the game.
Nah bro they've DONE it before when ppl didn't pay attention. I remember szn X there was a bug that let ppl reach max lvl # & then epic came out saying that it was part of the update so they couldn't Do much but to disable certain things to cut the XP caps. I really hope it's a mess up but from the looks of it I think they really sent a hit out to STW. I bought it cus its a vibe jus playing & earning rewards but I really believe that a higher up is tryna axe what epic literally stands for 😂 Ironic how i got a crew add by epic after this 😂
What they should do is just make it half of what it used to be, or mabye 40%, because it’s at least somewhat fair since you could level up extremely fast… but nah they definitely want people not to play stw which is so messed up, because there’s no way they’re excluding save the world from xp quests… I do not like the road epic is going down at all, and if they’re doing this I can only imagine what they’ll do in the future… this is honestly very worrying
This is absolutely unacceptable from epic but my biggest problem with it is that they didn’t announce it until after everybody had started the season and paid their money, absolute BS
i got a notification today asking me what game modes i liked this season and it didn’t even say save the world but put games like lego, music, roleplay, and even fucking teenage mutant ninja turtles mode
Yeahhhh, after hearing you say you can't even complete the entire battlepass before the seasons ends is crazy, they 100% need to change this and just revert back the way it is
The xp change hurts every mode but stw got the shortest end of the stick. You could previously complete the battlepass by playing any one mode exclusively, but with the xp change that is no longer the case. Epic is forcing everyone, except people who play BR exclusively, to play more than one mode to complete their battlepass.
It may also have something to do with founders still playing save the world for vbucks. Maybe they want to drive founders away? Idk but i hope they change it.
What I seen on twitter is they nerfed all game modes because of the crew members subscription so we aren’t able To speed run it and cancel it within 2 weeks
It's more than just the 9 levels on Save the World, they made it so even the Daily Discovery XP is combined with the Daily Missions, so you only get 3 Daily bonuses total from all modes except for Save the World. They lowered the XP you get for StW Dailies too, but at least that bonus isn't combined with Creative, Festival, and Lego. They're just making it way harder to level up this season.
I feel like epic is looking at the 20k+ people playing STW and wanting to distribute that number to increase popularity of their new gamemodes, like STW is a rival game stealing their player base. But its not. It doesnt matter if people are playing BR, Lego, Festival, Rocket Racing, STW or Creative. All those people are still playing Fortnite, and Epic profits from them regardless. Those people could be playing Roblox or Minecraft, but they're not they are still consuming Epic's product. The only way that STW could possibly hurt Epic is maybe other brands (Like Lego, Disney, Music Artists and Record Labels, etc) who are investing money into Fortnite are unhappy. And if that's the case, it just shows that Epic does not care about what their players want, but rather what will make them more money.
The frustration is extreme! And the best of all of this is that they are nominated to be the best community support. A group of clowns that doesn't literally care about anything, what the player base is saying to them. It's such a disrespect for all of us.
I was weirded out on this too, but the vbuck missions have been reduced not because of that, but because of a game mechanic that consist of 2 different seasons, mutant season and mini boss season, mutant seasons means less chance of mini bosses (and mini bosses give vbucks) so during mutant seasons, less vbucks, but during mini boss season, you get a lot more vbucks because more mini boss battles
I don’t think this has as much to do with stw as people think. XP has been nerfed across the board because the way people were buying and canceling the crew subscription. They want to make it difficult to finish the battle pass in any mode so that people keep their subscription going. The daily quests except for save the world probably has something to do with the fact that there’s only one daily quest per day in stw and could even have something to do with how quests are tracked across different modes. We JUST got a brand new mission type that has a new boss and belongs to a new quest line that rewards a new hero and new weapon. I do think we are getting bent over on xp, and I really think they will buff this soon, (not to what it used to be though), but I don’t think there are plans to get players away from stw. That’s tens of thousands of players that will go to another game, not another game mode.
Epic is stupid. Don’t they see that STW gets more players than their metaverse games? The fact they can allocate resources and people to these side projects shows that Epic CAN set up a team for STW, they just don’t bother.
Is it just me or is epic trying to completely cover up Donald Mustards influence on the game? We’ve been getting OG and REMIX thats them trying to make a BETTER version of Donalds ideas. I know its a theory but thats what I think. (They also stopped using OG defaults until they needed it to for OG and Remix)
doing daily wargames and daily endurance and daily quests can get you level 200 still, you are just required to be more active. they likely nerfed it because of how much endurance gave, but they could have just nerfed endurance xp, I wouldn't have cared
A1 please rally the big creators to back us stw players bro cause it only a handful of us out crying for this but if there are more big creators talking about it they would hopefully change it sooner
We already knew Epic doesn’t want people to play STW when they refused to release it for free. Also when they removed STW from the main menu, hiding it deep behind multiple pages. Meanwhile game modes like Festival and Lego are plastered not in the Fortnite app icon, loading screen but also have their own designated app to download. What sucks the most is if Epic decided to just invest 1% of their yearly earnings into STW that’d be $100M. Which is more than enough of a budget to work with, yet they refuse because they genuinely hate their fans and want this game to die. So that other game modes with severely less active players can get more attention.
Apparently Creative also has this weekly cap, there is a group of people who think this 'overall' exp nerf is a way of getting people to stay subscribed to Fortnite Crew, considering there is now massive changes to crew. You get all passes, but if you fail to repay Fortnite Crew, you will essentially be locked out of all future pass progression until you pay for the pass, or pay for Crew, even if the passes are unfinished. But seeing how some quests especially do state "All experiences except for STW", I can definitely see how that can especially be... targeted. But my main interpretation is that Epic is getting a little anti-consumer across the board.
epic is upset that STW gets more players than festival and rocket racing 😭😭 because this is insane
BIG FACTS
Definitely
That is definitely the exact reason😭
This is true, they took trading out of rocket league when rocket racing came out because no one played it, now they’re trying to siphon players off STW

Making Save the World worth less to the Battle Pass does not make me want to play Battle Royal more, it makes me want to not bother with the Battle Pass.

Same bro the resurgence of new players because of the metal team leader and samurai scrapper packs gave me new friends to play with too
Same. This chapter has ruined the entire game for me
To think they’re trying to kill their original identity so bad just to cater to collaborations and other brands is truly saddening
STW is the only reason I play fortnite, such a shame they may be trying to kill it
If you only play STW and not battle royale this literally has no affect on you.
@@om-gha I don't play battle, I love STW but that doesn't mean I don't want to complete the battle pass I already paid so it affects me, I have years playing just a few matches in battle just because of the win umbrella, I enjoy STW but I still want the battle pass cosmetics, I was even thinking to buy the crew thing so I would get a lot of cosmetic at a reasonable price, I used to play stw so much in the last season of chapter 5 that I reached level 500 for first time so yes, it affects every single STW player, no matter if they like it or not, even the people that just did daily missions to get vbucks they get XP for that, sometimes you have to repeat missions several times (for example the tv ones, I have days that no matter what I do, just get 3 tvs per mission so at one moment I get tired and just do it 3 by 3 so just there I need to do 7 missions for 1 single daily and that consumes a lot of the limit)
@@Godjo_THO imagine only playing STW lol
@gamerbeast3616 that's what I enjoy, doing weeklies for superchargers, fighting the mythic storm king, yesterday I spent like 5 hours doing some remodeling at my storm shield so it can look cooler, I have been trying the beta mission a lot of times to see how fast I can do it, I experiment my own hero builds and play a lot of 160s to farm scheme upgrading mats, battle or the other modes are not that interesting for me, I already build a big base in lego with a friend and we have tons of resources, rocket racing no, festival I already played a lot but it's the same thing touching the same songs, battle is just searching a match, loot and win, I don't say it's not funny but STW is tons of time more enjoyable for me and it's my favorite mode.
@@gamerbeast3616 imagine not having the money to play STW
720k a week?! What the fuck-
I’m definitely not hitting tier 100 💩💩 now
Terrible
@@djallwayz3437 right and I may never buy another battle pass ever again now they're barely good now anyways
Nah the battle pass itself is good its just the xp@TrashCanBoiBoi
For real. I remember playing last year and making 17 levels an hour. I didn't mind the cap around 23 levels a day because you could have the battlepass done in a day with save the world. And the funny thing is, you still make less playing battle Royale than save the world. Even if you do good and win a couple matches here and there.
Even the new mode ballistic has got horrible xp gain. I make more on playing creative maps than ballistic.
STW is a shell of its former self. No more daily rewards no V-Bucks anymore if you buy stw now. No new missions, no new items or Weapons, just old things reused. So sad ☹️ they should'nt change a payed game like this
We got that one new mode where we hunt a mist monster
What do you mean no vbucks they buffed them by removing daily rewards because you are guaranteed to get almsot 100 vbucks a day
The fire bow was added with the new boss recently lol
@@mrfrogyeettoday had 30 v bucks in v bucks missions
Not long after it reset
This has been happening for months
@ no the daily quests I’m talking about
its funny how they mistreat stw despite the fact it sometimes has more players than lego fortnite and festival lol, i think they are trying to get more stw players to play lego fortnite as its "similar" to stw
I like how they added no guns to a "fortnite" gamemode
Epic's out here adding the Storm King to Lego Fortnite now as well, they're definitely trying to replace STW.
Disclaimer: I'm someone who plays STW because I enjoy it, it's the main mode of Fortnite I play, accounting for 95%+ of my time in Fortnite. I play a bit of BR at the start of the new season until I get the umbrella and then knock out the weekly challenges, but that's about it. I don't play Lego or Festival, and only occasionally RR.
I don't believe the BP XP nerf was to try to get people to change to other modes, I believe it's to slow down how quickly people can complete the various battlepasses, especially when it comes to Crew - If you cancel Crew, you lose access to the premium track in things like the Lego pass, but you keep the rewards you've already claimed. If you can complete all the passes in under a month, you can cancel Crew for the remaining months of the season and keep your rewards. If you take two months to complete all of the passes, Epic gets 2 months subscription. It's not targeted at STW specifically, it's across the board in Fornite.
Moving on to the daily challenges, a lot of people have picked up on the "except in Save The World" tag. Again, I don't believe this is meant to be a disincentive to play STW, but more that the daily challenges in Save The World are different to the other modes. In the other modes, you have three daily rewards available in every mode, and if you complete one, it's refreshed with a new one into perpetuity. In STW, you get one per day, and it doesn't get refreshed if you complete it. They operate completely differently, although they're called the same things.
Well they aren't giving us Godzilla till January, so they are basically forcing us to subscribe for another month
@@jmx28 Godzilla's part of the standard battlepass, you don't need an active crew subscription.
This feels like a higher up or someone leading the Dev team at Epic just doesn’t like save the world. The constant neglect the mode has gotten throughout the years is very strange. It has sooo much potential too wtf.
Ikr, gotta get some devs in there that love the game like us man wtf
It's solely sweeny
man i used to play this and watch your videos years ago. shame it seems to have gone this far downhill, i played it nonstop summer of 18 and summer of 22. keep it up my man, i hope for the best.
Humankind have a knack for embracing the worst things in anything. In video games, one is disrespecting and neglecting some (sometimes most) of their community’s truest, most patient, respectful and supportive players for some agenda, something toxic and/or something soulless. Great video, Aone.
A1 , Epic been doing this for years after BR got popular, the refusal to expand SDW has always been to get players to buy battle passes.
I have always been frank about Devs intentionally doing stupid shit that will not improve SDW, it always goes on def ears.
I don't get why they'd give us an awesome new hero, a new bow, and the whole questline... but then turn around and do this. I was starting to feel hopeful about STW, but this killed it.
And now I'm pissed I wasted all this money on skins... I do NOT like BR. I only play that to unlock Lego decor, which I was also forced to do.
Glad you made this video, I had no idea. I thought I just maxed my XP out for the day. 😢💔
Fortnite metaverse play what you want unless it’s save the world
My only true hope is that this single event causes a rise in player count for save the world as all the players who do or do not care to show that they want this glorious game to stay. #savestw
THANK YOU! I haven’t enjoyed playing this new chapter so far, so I’m doing stw for the whole season, I absolutely hate the epic devs with how money hungry they are
@THELEGEND-ib4rc I've been playing since 2018 ish and this game will always have a spot in my heart. To see its creators try to kill it hurts my soul.
This is a "then everybody clapped" moment
We can only hope my fellow STW enjoyer lol. #savestw
Honestly I do want to try out save the world as well
Another crazy thing is that STW doesn’t even appear in the new App screen/ the new menu for the game.
Which is just crazy considering how important STW was/is to Fortnite as a whole.
What they are doing with stw is very disappointing
Dude I thought I was crazy because I have it favorited and everything but I can't even find it sometimes
Epic is ridiculous😡
Absolutely
a weekly xp cap is possibly the worst idea they could've come up with. yesterday I got 13 levels in Creative. today I was struggling to get even a single level and pretty often my progress was reset. 20k+ xp not counting after I went back to the lobby.
I doubt this will stop me from reaching level 200 by the end of the season or at least I hope it won't. I heard that Festival doesn't have this xp cap, but I haven't tested it myself.
Epic conveniently forgot that people paid so much for founders. Founders of which Epic screwed over by abandoned the game without finishing it. That’s the AAA equivalent of a kickstarter scam.
The sad thing about this is, they’ve got rid of their legacy for battle royale and all these other game modes, what was the point in doing that, they have teams dedicated to all these separate modes but can’t focus their original plan, it’s sad they thin themselves out so much they forget what they started
Honestly they should update STW
Change the formula
Some game mechanics
Make it less repetitive
Make it fun
I think the main issue is the new crew system, ya know, where premium rewards for the passes are only claimable when the crew is active? I think they reduced XP for many modes so that you have to play more for the rewards, and that in turn means you have to spend more time staying subscribed to the crew to claim them, which means more money for epic. I've seen many people say that gaining levels is harder this season, and I think that's why. That's also probably why you only get refunds for the passes within 14 days of buying them, so then people don't wait to buy the crew until they can get all the rewards, and get their V-Bucks back anyways. At this point, I wouldn't get the crew until after 14 days of buying the battle pass, so then you get your 1,000 V-Bucks anyways, and then just get the other small passes within the time of your crew. And if you ABSOLUTELY want the rewards, resubscribe to the crew. If you were already subscribed to the crew, before the season launched, and it ended recently, DON'T buy it again. It'll make you have to claim those rewards by staying subscribed to the crew. I think to make this situation better, we need to boycott the crew, and not subscribe to it. They'll keep things this way to make more money, and they can't do that if crew sales drop.
NOT THE THUMB UP FEATURE 😭 👍
Also, when will Epic learn that STW players don't like BR and it's the main reason why we demand more content from them.
did that feature do anything? i never have known
@WeatherMan2005 it's just an "approval" rating for epic to know which players go above and beyond to help or did a good job in the missions.
Games have this to know who might just be leeching/camping and of course for reporting reasons.
Also, very interesting username dude... Crazy movie many people haven't seen which has nick cage. I enjoyed it.
Right like wtf?
I’m pretty sure some stw players like it
It's as useless as the anticheat but yea we used to press it back in 2018 to 2021 on every mission for no reason.
I like the idea of a weekly cap a lot, makes it so you don’t have to play daily to maximize xp. but it’s incredibly stupid that the cap wasn’t increased 7x the amount or around that much when that’s how much the length before reset was increased.
they give us nothing now taking lol
Yup 😮
And to further note, this XP nerf has affected all the modes which makes grinding the battle pass more tedious.
This. I almost don't want to play this season because it feels like such a slog even when I place #1 in BR and get like 11-17 eliminations, I get like less than half a level if even that. But I already spent money on the thing so like...ugh.
Well said. Their job is to passionately hate save the world and they give it all they got. Actually feel kinda sorry for those 5 people working on stw and actually care for the community.
I really hope this is just a bug...
Lego mode seems to be bugged right now as well, so it could actually be one
cute oc!!
That trap thing is weird. I wonder if it works in Endurance homebase
Also, Save the World is like there second highest where players play. Definitely beating the other new modes
There was nothing wrong with the way XP was being gained, and no one complained about it. Why did Epic mess with something that didn't need messing with? Also, why did Epic change the BR daily quests to exclude Save The World in earning XP by naming it. How rude! I mean, I don't mind if they tweak the amount you can earn daily, but to cap us with weekly XP is really rough. I mean, I thought it was brilliant that they let STW gain BP XP. What a great change that was. Gave me a reason to purchase the battle pass, as I could do the whole pass with bonus levels without having to touch BR at all. Heck, I didn't have to touch any other mode, and why would I. I love playing STW and not the other modes, and being able to gain all the BR XP in STW was a great move by Epic. But now doing this nerf to XP, you will barely be able to complete the pass, leat alone do any of the bonus levels, by just playing STW.
They excluded it because you only get one daily quest per day in STW. Unlike all other game modes where you get 3 quests that get replaced with new ones as you complete them.
Your asking why they messed with it? It all has to do with $$$
@@FiremanCV I know why they do it, but it just upsets the customers when they do.
The quests already excluded Save The World, they just added that text to clarify it.
I’m one of those who just can’t put the game down. That’s all I play is STW hours on hours. Outside of work. Me personally, though, I could care less about the battle pass XP because I don’t play any other modes. However, they do need to get their stuff in gear and fix this for the others. If STW was to go, I honestly don’t know what game I’d play. Like I said, all I know is STW. I’d be devastated like many others.
Makes me wanna play Save The World more now, just to piss off the suits.
Gonna save the world even harder now 😤
I'm a save the world player with or without XP. But this shouldn't be overlooked. Epic needs to fix this to keep the game alive. Save The World fell to make battle Royal fly and has been in the backburner behind the success of BR for a long time now. It's time they gave some love for STW and help it pull in more players instead of luring them away. The game has gained a good number of faithful players such as myself, and it would really suck if they're trying to pull the plug on this amazing game.
1:46 broadside stacking is gonna be crazy
Its full on greed. They want us to buy tiers, and play even more modes to buy more cosmetics
This is actually so crazy. I don't even play STW (but I want to but I play on switch so) and it is painfully obvious how horrible this decision is.
It doesn’t make me want to play the other modes more, it just makes me want to play Fortnite less overall.
It makes me so sad save the world is such a good game its really unique and when the devs cared about it it really was amazing I'll always miss when the game was still supported I love battle royal but I wish they would show the og game some love if it still had the support it did when frostnite and storm king was coming out it would honestly be one of there most played game modes sadly clearly theyve left it to die😢
The irony of the situation is that Epic still milks STW with those STW packs.
This season is difficult to level up because of the crew pack. They only made these changes to the crew to get more people to subscribe and make people finish the battle pass as quickly as possible. But it's obviously a lot harder, especially if you don't play all day
Haven’t been on fortnite or your channel in a while. Got this in my recommended and I’m dumbfounded by Epics constant sabotage of stw. It was the whole reason I ever played fortnite back in 2017. Much love Aone ❤
that "except for save the world" just sent me over the edge ong
Been playing STW for just over 1 year with just over 8k hrs played power lvl 137 atm Don’t kill STW PLEASE Epic 🙏
@@smitty6883 8,765 hours in a year! That’s a real grind! Grind on brother!
If you think about it, they are trying to avoud people getting an absurd number of level in a very short time (they capped Lego, Creative and other modes too) because they are pushing really hard the crew pack system.
If you buy the crew you unlock every battlepass but temporary, you can only redeem stuff while you pay, so the casual player is forced to buy the crew pack every month in order to be able to continue to redeem BP stuff.
Tbh, it's still pretty hard to level up the pass legitimately. Genuinely AFKing LEGO gives a lot more, and I don't want to do that
I’ve had save the world since 2018, I haven’t played it much until this new chapter, with I haven’t enjoyed playing so far, so I decided to play save the world instead for a while so I could try to complete more of the story, this is so dumb that epic is doing this
What in the (Save the ) World is going on with this game 😂…
Put an Anti Air on top of that triple stack ceiling trap for some extra lag!
I just love an A1 rant! Well said Sir, my sentiments exactly. Imagine shitting on the players who in the beginning (BEFORE BATTLE ROYALE) helped fund your game - the Founders. You're the ultimate OG Fortnite TH-camr. I've been here since the beginning, your opinion means a lot, so I'm happy you voiced it.❣
The crossover is crazy
Destiny’s past A1 reading a current day destiny content creators article on Forbes
In my opinion its not that Epic Games is trying to straight up kill STW, but It is trying to make some money out of the new Fortnite Crew's terms.
They also really nerfed the amount of bucks you can get from STW
I’m still getting the same amount from daily’s
Yes like daily logins and we're getting less vbcuks missions but we are in a mutant storm and not mini boss storm
@@rudigerhouston6270 80 to 100 per mission doesn't really replace the amount you would be getting from daily, weekly and monthly from the login.
It uses server costs and they don't profit from it. Just how greedy corporations work. They can't just deny you access for something you paid for, so they want to convince you to not play it at all.
Not just Stw that has xp weekly cap, Creative and lego has weekly xp cap too festival didn't get the treatment too
Thanks A1 for speaking out on this. I am thinking of all of the good peeps we lost along the way that made freaking awesome STW content. When epic turned the lights out in Georgia, so to speak. I have tried to play several time since, it's not the same all my peeps moved on.
I am OG player founders pack, after Epic kicked STW to the curb, I started hate Vbuck playing I kid you not. I was on a mission no real money was ever going to epic again. That's how I got my battle pass for a few runs, I just stopped all together. Last few days all of sudden I am seeing Fortnite in my feeds I was like what is going on. Now I know why & with this infor I won't be jumping in now. Thanks for all you do for STW A1😎
I don't know why Epic care? I mean players in StW are still in their ecosystem and not playing games from Epics competitors. Also, they keep updating StW with new heroes and weapons, so they obviously want to support it.
I believe the reasoning behind this has more to do with epic wanting to shut down XP farming. And people AFKing endurance etc to just complete a battle pass is trying to be limited. If epic wanted to be greedy they should release a stw pass like they have for Lego and festival. That would probably even drive more people to stw
The worst part of it all is if players continue to play anyway Epic Games will continue making Save the World more unplayable. On the other hand if we stop playing Save the World they also get what they want and have an excuse to pull it. It's sad to see a game mode you've spent so many hours on be so neglected for literal greed. Multi billion dollar company that can't spare a bit of change to their original mode.
as someone who has been playing since 2017, it makes me really sad to see them kill off what i personally consider a gamemode with more personality and less of an ad than their other gamemodes.
They want founder's to spend their stack of vbucks to complete the battle pass
i still remember when back in early chapter 1 epic had talked about giving founders free rewards monthly which ended up never happening and all founders got was the Warpaint skin and Rose Team Leader skin.
I thought it was fine not giving free stuff for being a founder cause we still got free vbucks in STW but i think epic probably regrets the free vbucks in STW and is now slowly trying to get the player base low enough for them to shut it all down or just get founders away from the vbuck dailies
but i think a decision like that would not be a good idea for epic even if they compensate founders with free stuff even then
epic needs to accept with or without vbucks people like fortnite for what it originally was.
STW was a 60$ game it is not some metaverse mode
Festival XP got nerfed to the ground too, honestly feels worse than STW. I don’t think they’re trying to get rid of Festival, I think they just screwed up when trying to rebalance all the xp for the new season and crew granting all passes now.
I do not think this is a hit job on STW, but I understand how we STW people get in our feels about the game.
As somebody that loves STW and Festival, this is gut wrenching. They have gotta fix this XP bs.
For real, STW players have a persecution complex.
Nah bro they've DONE it before when ppl didn't pay attention. I remember szn X there was a bug that let ppl reach max lvl # & then epic came out saying that it was part of the update so they couldn't Do much but to disable certain things to cut the XP caps. I really hope it's a mess up but from the looks of it I think they really sent a hit out to STW. I bought it cus its a vibe jus playing & earning rewards but I really believe that a higher up is tryna axe what epic literally stands for 😂 Ironic how i got a crew add by epic after this 😂
It is the same on LEGO to. I play many hours and normally you get 4 levels. Now nothing or barely 1 level.
@ Lego was changed back today. You get about 1900xp every minute
Them trying to neglect the very mode that ACTUALLY started out their cash cow is dumb
What they should do is just make it half of what it used to be, or mabye 40%, because it’s at least somewhat fair since you could level up extremely fast… but nah they definitely want people not to play stw which is so messed up, because there’s no way they’re excluding save the world from xp quests… I do not like the road epic is going down at all, and if they’re doing this I can only imagine what they’ll do in the future… this is honestly very worrying
seems fair (ppl were able to reach at least level 400 from just playing stw)
This is absolutely unacceptable from epic but my biggest problem with it is that they didn’t announce it until after everybody had started the season and paid their money, absolute BS
i got a notification today asking me what game modes i liked this season and it didn’t even say save the world but put games like lego, music, roleplay, and even fucking teenage mutant ninja turtles mode
That was the first thing I noticed too
When save the world leaves is when i fully delete fortnite
Yeahhhh, after hearing you say you can't even complete the entire battlepass before the seasons ends is crazy, they 100% need to change this and just revert back the way it is
The xp change hurts every mode but stw got the shortest end of the stick. You could previously complete the battlepass by playing any one mode exclusively, but with the xp change that is no longer the case. Epic is forcing everyone, except people who play BR exclusively, to play more than one mode to complete their battlepass.
It may also have something to do with founders still playing save the world for vbucks. Maybe they want to drive founders away? Idk but i hope they change it.
What I seen on twitter is they nerfed all game modes because of the crew members subscription so we aren’t able To speed run it and cancel it within 2 weeks
The reason seems to be stemming from the changes to The Crew subscription.
Can't keep people's subs active if they can complete the pass in 4-5 weeks.
08:30 its exactly caused of br side modes like rocket leage, festival, lego etc. and also to play much longer to reach high levels too
It's more than just the 9 levels on Save the World, they made it so even the Daily Discovery XP is combined with the Daily Missions, so you only get 3 Daily bonuses total from all modes except for Save the World. They lowered the XP you get for StW Dailies too, but at least that bonus isn't combined with Creative, Festival, and Lego. They're just making it way harder to level up this season.
I feel like epic is looking at the 20k+ people playing STW and wanting to distribute that number to increase popularity of their new gamemodes, like STW is a rival game stealing their player base. But its not. It doesnt matter if people are playing BR, Lego, Festival, Rocket Racing, STW or Creative. All those people are still playing Fortnite, and Epic profits from them regardless. Those people could be playing Roblox or Minecraft, but they're not they are still consuming Epic's product. The only way that STW could possibly hurt Epic is maybe other brands (Like Lego, Disney, Music Artists and Record Labels, etc) who are investing money into Fortnite are unhappy. And if that's the case, it just shows that Epic does not care about what their players want, but rather what will make them more money.
They don't like STW and hate founders even more.
The frustration is extreme! And the best of all of this is that they are nominated to be the best community support. A group of clowns that doesn't literally care about anything, what the player base is saying to them. It's such a disrespect for all of us.
I haven't seen many people say this but they also heavily cut down on v-buck missions. We're lucky to even get 1 a week now
I was weirded out on this too, but the vbuck missions have been reduced not because of that, but because of a game mechanic that consist of 2 different seasons, mutant season and mini boss season, mutant seasons means less chance of mini bosses (and mini bosses give vbucks) so during mutant seasons, less vbucks, but during mini boss season, you get a lot more vbucks because more mini boss battles
@ I shit u not I just finished a video explaining that right as u commented💀
I don’t think this has as much to do with stw as people think.
XP has been nerfed across the board because the way people were buying and canceling the crew subscription. They want to make it difficult to finish the battle pass in any mode so that people keep their subscription going.
The daily quests except for save the world probably has something to do with the fact that there’s only one daily quest per day in stw and could even have something to do with how quests are tracked across different modes.
We JUST got a brand new mission type that has a new boss and belongs to a new quest line that rewards a new hero and new weapon.
I do think we are getting bent over on xp, and I really think they will buff this soon, (not to what it used to be though), but I don’t think there are plans to get players away from stw. That’s tens of thousands of players that will go to another game, not another game mode.
When u leave a mission it sets u to no fill again which is stupid.
They need to REVERT this change
Epic is stupid. Don’t they see that STW gets more players than their metaverse games?
The fact they can allocate resources and people to these side projects shows that Epic CAN set up a team for STW, they just don’t bother.
They hate save the world because they know some of us can make v bucks out of it
Whoever decided this need to get fired, I am not one to hate. But man this is idiotic.
I agree
Save the world would have something to show for it if the XP gains become zero eventually. The fortnite trophy system is tied to it.
Is it just me or is epic trying to completely cover up Donald Mustards influence on the game? We’ve been getting OG and REMIX thats them trying to make a BETTER version of Donalds ideas. I know its a theory but thats what I think. (They also stopped using OG defaults until they needed it to for OG and Remix)
doing daily wargames and daily endurance and daily quests can get you level 200 still, you are just required to be more active. they likely nerfed it because of how much endurance gave, but they could have just nerfed endurance xp, I wouldn't have cared
A1 please rally the big creators to back us stw players bro cause it only a handful of us out crying for this but if there are more big creators talking about it they would hopefully change it sooner
We already knew Epic doesn’t want people to play STW when they refused to release it for free.
Also when they removed STW from the main menu, hiding it deep behind multiple pages. Meanwhile game modes like Festival and Lego are plastered not in the Fortnite app icon, loading screen but also have their own designated app to download.
What sucks the most is if Epic decided to just invest 1% of their yearly earnings into STW that’d be $100M. Which is more than enough of a budget to work with, yet they refuse because they genuinely hate their fans and want this game to die. So that other game modes with severely less active players can get more attention.
Honestly makes me wish I had refunded back in 2018.
Apparently Creative also has this weekly cap, there is a group of people who think this 'overall' exp nerf is a way of getting people to stay subscribed to Fortnite Crew, considering there is now massive changes to crew.
You get all passes, but if you fail to repay Fortnite Crew, you will essentially be locked out of all future pass progression until you pay for the pass, or pay for Crew, even if the passes are unfinished.
But seeing how some quests especially do state "All experiences except for STW", I can definitely see how that can especially be... targeted.
But my main interpretation is that Epic is getting a little anti-consumer across the board.
started playing stw again just cause of this change btw
About the traps bug, it is amazing how they can not touch anything at all and break it anyways
