Epic Games Has Already Removed Playground Mode From Fortnite

Beware the oncoming store! Bargains galore!

@gaga64
You’ve never seen price cuts like this before!
When your wallet is weary, and your bank holds no more;
Beware, beware the oncoming store.

Not the store!!!

When you're caught in the store, one euro/dollar/pound is deducted from your bank account every second.

I got caught in the Store once... oh man, never again. It was awful, I had to spend the whole night. Having said that, there was a pretty cute mannequin in there I got along well with. Sure, ok, we had some fun - what of it!?

You will soon need a news story about the incredible amount of Fortnite news stories!

@Pod You will soon need a news store about the incredible amount of Fortnite news stores!

Fixed that for you

@gcunit that's not the only case of mannequin love.

Did they not test it or something? You'd think with a game this ludicrously popular they'd have a test server...

Please don’t fear the store and it’s closing door
Come in and adore the bargains galore
You may end up poor and your arms grow quite sore
From taking much more from our well stocked floor
But you’ll get such a score and tell great tales of yore
(just ask our newest Employee of the month Thor)
So don’t be a bore or prepare for a war
Come in and adore the oncoming store

Clickbait again. There's no reason to intentionally leave out the "while they fix it" part from the headline, apart to play of peoples' sensationalism.

I hope playgrounds come back. There is absolutely no kind of tutorial in this game and I have zero idea what I’m doing. I don’t want to learn while getting shot at, so a low-key place to even just learn the controls would be nice.

@Pod FortniteLife

@Morgan19 So if that's clickbait, and you felt the insatiable urge to comment about it, what does that say about you?

@gaga64 Holy all, I think that's the best thing I've seen all week. Bravo

But when are we getting AAAs like Fortnite on Switch? We need more information on this, and NL posts nothing at all!

Also, so if you zip away from the store on a trolley, does that mean no micro-transactions then?

@HobbitGamer thanks!

@Pod
It's the Chicken Wiggle situation all over again. Though at least this time, they have the excuse of being a game people actually know about.

@SmaMan
HAH!
For what it's worth though, I did know and care about Chicken Wiggle.

@HobbitGamer

It says they felt like commenting on something they took issue with?

I can't wait for this mode to come back. My kids got into fortnite recently when their cousin came over to visit and now they pulled me in. The fact that I can fire up the came on three different platforms (Xbox One, Switch and PC) and play with both my girls, in the same room, is amazing to me. Reminds me of the old PC lan days. If only Sony would jump on board, my wife could play on the PS4 instead of her phone. Shame on you Sony. Shame!

@thesilverbrick This new mode is the only reason I downloaded it again. It's incredibly frustrating when my game only lasts a couple of minutes because I don't know what I'm doing and have had no practice.

I know it sounds silly, but how can I scroll down the list of updates in-game? And how can I change characters?
I don't understand half of the main menu and that's really turning me off.

"The oncoming store" I think you meant storm.

@Prof_Yoshtonics You had to go and ruin it. Here I thought NL was taking a stand against microtransactions.

The Store is coming. The Bargains are a-hunting. Many won't make it out alive. BEWARE THE STORE!

@SKTTR previously, you couldn't scroll down through the updates, but that's been fixed in the latest update, use the left (or maybe right) control stick.

For the characters, you can only choose if you have purchased the battle pass or a skin directly from the store, otherwise it's random

It is my mission to ride the cart over all the daring peaks. Btw did you know that there is no damage when you “fall” down a mountain in one? ‘Tis glorious. I’m not sure what they do in their performance updates but I still have issues with the descent and people all of a sudden being there when they weren’t.

@SKTTR @Sup
I found that by choosing “Random Skin” in my locker, my character changed to a different default after a new match started. Then I unequipped “Random Skin” and it has stayed this way. So if you just need something fresh (or gender swapped), that may be the way without spending money.

@Sup The ingame update list still doesn't scroll. There is no update to download.

@HobbitGamer
Thanks, I will try that.
