Ninja claims Epic have \u201clost their way\u201d with Fortnite in Chapter 2 Epic Games \/ Mixer: NinjaTyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins claims Epic \u201clost their way\u201d with their hugely popular battle royale title Fortnite in Chapter 2, after a \u201cmassive f**king disconnect\u201d between the fans and the players that they still haven\u2019t quite recovered from. Ninja has always been one of the more outspoken members of the huge Fortnite community. The streamer always speaks his mind \u2014 even if it earns him a \u201ctoxic\u201d label \u2014 in an effort to help fix the popular title. Chapter 2 has been a mixed bag for Fortnite, and Ninja knows it. In fact, the Mixer star said, it\u2019s because Epic \u201clost their way\u201d after the season-ending black hole event last October; they have become \u201cdisconnected\u201d from the fans. \u201cYou know\u2026 I\u2019m going to be honest, I talked to the guys [at Epic]. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on but I know more than others: Epic lost their way, they got lost. They lost the communication, they lost the community. They just got lost,\u201d he said. \u201cAlong the way there was just this f**king massive disconnect. Something was dropped, and it was never picked up. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s particularly a bad state, but that\u2019s why Fortnite is in the state it\u2019s in. Updates, patch notes, everything.\u201d Epic needs to focus on Fortnite gameplay, Ninja says Fortnite has struggled to please its fans so far in Chapter 2. Gameplay has had a question mark over it so far this year, and the new map was not well received. 2020 has also seen patch notes simply vanish. That\u2019s not to say this year has been a major bust for Fortnite. Ninja pointed to the title\u2019s huge crossover events like its Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker trailer reveal, and Travis Scott concert event as \u201cbig wins\u201d for Epic. They even have a Christopher Nolan feature film screening later this year. \u201cYes we\u2019re getting cool shit, we had Star Wars, a Star Wars trailer, the Travis Scott event was one of the coolest things ever been seen in gaming history,\u201d he said, before adding Epic \u201cneed\u201d to turn their attention to gameplay next. \u201cThe events were dope as sh*t, but that\u2019s not gameplay in Fortnite, and that [gameplay] is Fortnite. The amazing things that Fortnite can do have split from the gameplay\u2026 but I feel like they\u2019re coming back though man.\u201d The related segment begins at 3:56 in the video below. There are, of course, a few things Ninja still thinks needs some work in Fortnite too before it actually hits its peak again though. One is the player count: the Mixer star called for Epic to copy Call of Duty\u2019s Warzone last week. Blevins has also been one of the most vocal figures in the ongoing war against aim assist in Fortnite. He believes the best way forward now is for controller players to be \u201chonest\u201d about the feature so Epic can properly nerf the \u201caimbot\u201d assist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
