Fortnite: Welp, our plan for cosmetics with the ratings update didn’t hit the mark. We're working on a few new options that we hope to have in place for say... some sort of big in-game event... (twitter.com)

I'm not sure how people still care about this.

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

They brought back season 1 (whatever that means) and a lot of my friends are playing the game again, at least until S1 goes away

What was this cosmetic rating system?

[–] Monomate@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, I'm also out of the loop on this whole drama...

Fortnite is changing what skins can be equipped and where, including real-money paid for skins. Specifically, labeling some skins as not E™ for Everyone™ and only allowing them in non-E™ zones.

People are upset that the cosmetics they paid real human dollars for are going to be unusable where they want to play, defeating the entire point of spending money on a cosmetic.

People are also upset at seemingly arbitrary lines-in-the-sand drawn over which skins dont count as E™, and which do. In a "why is my skin off limits but that skin which is far less kid friendly is no issue?" style complaint.

If you're not a child and play the game for the skill then you don't need to care at all

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you paid money for a skin to look cool in the game you like, and now cant use it in the parts of the game you want to play in, thats a valid reason to be upset.

No one cares youre grinding for faze clan entry dude, theres no """skill""" that matters if youre playing fortnite. If you play the game for skill in a way where you talk like this, youre playing cs:go.

Xd I'm fairly shit at the game yet I was LE in csgo. Not trying to enter faze clan. There is no harder game than this at this point skill wise. And no I haven't paid money to them because I just don't see why when you can even earn battle pass by just playing even though it takes some time.
