Kinate this game
Ive gotten back into it during the corona. Game is fun, regardless of the hate it gets. Playing quads or duos with my buddies has provided a lot of LOLs and funny moments.
I really hope the extension leads too more EXP. The grind to reach 340 (Unlocking a special costume for battle pass owners) is near impossible without cheating the game via bot lobbies.
@Savino Same scenerio with me and my little bro. I've been buying the Battle pass since season 7. Its the only thing really worth buying since the battle passes give you enough currency to buy the next seasons battlepass. So when you buy one you never really have to buy another, unless you spend all of the money from it in the shop.
@patbacknitro Yeah fully gold Peely is a grind. I play hours a day, everyday and I’m only level 209. I missed a few punch cards and I have a few location dominations challenges left, but that is it. The most I’ll be able to get fully gold meowscles if I grind. I really hope the gold styles carry on till next season, but knowing epic, probably not.
Man 2 days before the event and they delay it by a week. Hope they get the timer on the lobby screen fixed or else people are gonna be pretty confused come saturday afternoon lmao
I've been having a lot of fun with this game since Season 4. I like how i bought the battle pass in Season 5, and then i never bought another one because you can get every pass only by playing the anterior one.
It's a nice game, regardless of the hate.
This season has been a blast, will be really interesting to see where they go with it next. Better get those last couple levels done to get full gold Brutus.
This season had definitely dragged these last few weeks. Just kinda been waiting for the change.
Good my son just bought the battle pass by accident, so at least he’ll get a bit of use out of it lol
The first quarter to half of June is already ruined it seems with all these delays. I really hope the protests die down in the coming weeks. Can't delay the events forever
Get ready for 3 seasons this whole year lmao
Debatably the most played game during quarantine, the game is just that fun and even better with friends.
I personally don't care for Fortnite but I highly doubt the haters actually gave it a shot, because mechanically it is a very good game. Just not my kind of game.
UGH. Really?? Two delays hurts a lot. If they would just add another 10 tiers or something to the pass that would at least give us something to do. Lol
@invictus4000
There is much more at stake than games these days. Just thought I should state the obvious.
i don't play anything else. just want to say that.
