LazarBeam slams Fortnite\u2019s \u201cpointless\u201d new UI changes YouTube: LazarBeam \/ Epic GamesLannan \u2018LazarBeam\u2019 Eacott has taken aim at Epic\u2019s choice to change Fortnite\u2019s user interface in Chapter 2, dubbing the screen updates \u201cliterally pointless,\u201d and likening them to \u201cscreen vomit\u201d instead of improvements. Fortnite\u2019s reset into Chapter 2 has been a divisive move so far. It\u2019s been dubbed as a \u201cboring\u201d change for all. Even the battle royale\u2019s biggest defender, Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins, has opened fire on the title, admitting he \u201cfeels bad\u201d for the fans. LazarBeam \u2014 who previously warned the battle royale could be on its final legs, and admits he\u2019s \u201creally worried\u201d for its future \u2014 has also found fault with the new updates. His issues, however, are a little less gameplay related. According to Eacott, Epic needs to consider reverting the Fortnite UI (user interface) during matches. He likened Chapter 2\u2019s gun layouts, info-bars, and medal popups to \u201cscreen vomit.\u201d In his eyes, something has to change, and \u201cfast.\u201d \u201cPotentially controversial opinion\u2026I miss the old UI. The medal and experience bar system is literally pointless screen vomit. I don\u2019t need a giant medal on my screen \u2018cause I\u2019m in the top 50!\u201d he posted on Twitter. Fortnite has also seen a number of quests added, including collecting rare fish. Those \u201cdumb pop-ups\u201d aren\u2019t necessary either, the Aussie star said, and added \u201che doesn\u2019t need a giant medal on my screen cause [he] caught a f**king fish!\u201d potentially controversial opinion but i miss the old UI the medal and xp bar system is literally pointless screen vomit I DONT NEED A GIANT MEDAL ON MY SCREEN CAUSE IM IN THE TOP 50 pic.twitter.com\/9jh0qgoUEf \u2014 LAZAR (@Lazarbeam) March 28, 2020 This isn\u2019t the first time LazarBeam has suggested Fortnite\u2019s original chapter \u2014 just dubbed Seasons 1 through 10 back then \u2014 was a better experience than the game is now. He even admitted to \u201cwatching old videos\u201d and reminiscing. \u201cGame was so simple, clean, and fun [back then]. It felt like the entire globe discovered and experienced this game together. I\u2019m emotional man!\u201d he said in another tweet earlier this month, days before the Helicopter update. He did admit Epic Games had \u201cdone a good job keeping the game exciting,\u201d with the patches they\u2019ve rolled out recently. \u201cThere was a reason it took over the world,\u201d he added. He believes that spark has been missing in Chapter 2 so far. Been watching old Fortnite videos. Game was so simple clean and fun. It felt like the entire globe discovered and experienced this game together. IM EMOTIONAL MAN! \u2014 LAZAR (@Lazarbeam) March 19, 2020 That isn\u2019t through lack of trying from Epic\u2019s behalf, however. The devs have poured new guns, high-flying vehicles, and a hefty helping of challenges into Chapter 2 so far, and there\u2019s even more new stuff on the horizon too. According to Fortnite\u2019s devs, there\u2019s \u201cunbelievable things\u201d still to come. They\u2019ve stayed relatively quiet about what that could mean, though. Let\u2019s hope, for LazarBeam\u2019s sake at least, the changes include a new Fortnite UI overhaul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
