Ninja explains why Epic is taking Fortnite Chapter 2 \u201cslow and steady\u201d Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has explained what he believes Epic Games are trying to do by keeping Fortnite Chapter 2 simple at the moment, after FaZe Clan\u2019s Kyle \u2018Mongraal\u2018 Jackson dubbed the popular battle royale \u201cstale.\u201d After the explosion of whacky additions to the game at the end of Fortnite\u2019s tenth season, including the near-globally hated BRUTE mechs, many players have been left disappointed by the slower pace of Chapter 2. For many, the end of the divisive Season X, and the black hole event that sucked Fortnite\u2019s old map \u2014 and, for a time, the whole game \u2014 out of existence was the reset the title needed. Some, however, are tired of the return to slower releases. One such advocate for a return of the \u2018glory days\u2019 of Epic dropping weird and wonderful items, weapons, and events into the game at a whim is Mongraal, who said he was tired of the \u201cstale\u201d state the game has found itself in lately. \u201cThe game is so stale right now\u2026 I want combat launchpad impulse boogie bombs hoverboards snow biome item that one-shots builds slurp juice chugjug,\u201d the British FNCS star said on December 11. game is so stale rn I want combat launchpad impulse boogie bombs hover boards snow biome item that one shots builds slurp juice chugjug \u2014 Mongraal (@Mongraal) December 11, 2019 Ninja, who has often been the voice of reason for many of Fortnite\u2019s issues, to the extent that some have joked that he has a close relationship with the Epic developers, said he agreed with the 15-year-old star, but preached patience. \u201cSlow and steady,\u201d the Mixer superstar said in response to Mongraal\u2019s comment. \u201cThe game was so insane at the end of Season X, I think Epic is trying to mimic the way they added items from the first chapter.\u201d Considering Fortnite\u2019s explosion into the global phenomenon that it is today came off the back of a content plan that Epic stuck to in 2017 as they were first expanding the battle royale title, it certainly makes sense that they\u2019d want to return to what worked. That\u2019s not to say Ninja is exactly happy with how content is flowing in the game at the moment either, however, and admitted he was \u201ctotally with [Mongraal]\u201d on the fact there hadn\u2019t been much variety added into the battle royale since The End. Slow and steady. The game was so insane at the end of season X, I think epic is trying to mimic the way they added items from the first chapter. But I AM totally with you I want much more variety. \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) December 11, 2019 Mongraal and Ninja both seemed to come to an agreement on what Epic was trying to do \u2014 bring back the \u201csimplicity\u201d of the very first seasons of the game back in 2017 \u2014 but knew the \u201cslow\u201d pace of the drops just couldn\u2019t last forever. \u201cI definitely think for the most part of this season they want the feel of the simplicity, I hope they start adding some new stuff soon though,\u201d Mongraal replied. This isn\u2019t the first time Ninja has stepped in when someone was complaining about Fortnite either, after he warned Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney, who boasts one of the game\u2019s biggest followings, his complaints could be a death knell for the title. \u201cHe was getting like 70k viewers and he\u2019s talking about how the game is dogsh*t and it\u2019s dying,\u201d Ninja said during his December 10 stream. \u201cDude you\u2019re literally pulling in more viewers than anyone, and you\u2019re drilling the game into the ground.\u201d Ninja\u2019s criticism came after Tfue called Fortnite\u2019s most recent patch the \u201cworst update ever,\u201d and threatened to abandon the battle royale grind altogether. Right now, however, it is clear that Epic is taking their time putting together new content patches, and implementing new features to the game, and it\u2019s definitely coming at a slower pace than most Fortnite fans are used to. Whether this will stifle the game\u2019s explosive growth, or help it in the long run, remains to be seen, but for now, it seems it\u2019s worth keeping an eye on what Epic is doing, and giving them one more chance to show off what they bring to the table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
