Lack of Support Throughout
Things Fortnite Needs to Change in Chapter 2 Season 2
What has baffled me most about Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 1 is Epic Games’ seemingly lackluster approach to supporting the game throughout the season. So much so, I wrote an entire separate post about it.
In Chapter 1, Epic Games was dropping at least one set of patch notes a week. These detailed changes to weapon damage or accuracy, introduced players to new gameplay features or items, and generally kept us in the loop as to what was going on behind-the-scenes.
In Chapter 2, it’s been almost the polar opposite. Patch notes have been sparse, and when they have dropped, they’ve seldom brought anything anywhere near as exciting as the new content we were getting back in Chapter 1.
While this may partly come down to the game reaching its final state (remember, it’s still technically in Early Access), Chapter 2 was supposed to be ushering in a new, exciting era for the Battle Royale title.
Instead, what should have been one of the most exciting seasons in Fortnite’s history thus far fell to the ground with a resounding splat. The kind of resounding splat that comes with dropping your ice cream on the floor. You know the one.
While the changes introduced at the beginning of the season were enough to keep Fortnite fresh for the first few weeks, it didn’t take long for players to feel the monotony set in again.
Combine this lack of patch notes and new content with Chapter 2 Season 1 being the longest season in Fortnite’s history and the problem was compounded ten-fold.
