I don’t know about a lot of you but Map Mastery is one of my least favourite things about Reload. I enjoy RL on it’s own because the seasonal rewards make it worth it but I really think they should make rewards in Map Mastery look more like Weekly Highlights. Not in the sense of weekly quests but rather where getting elims and Victory Royales should still count and then once rotation happens, you can attempt to get each quest in said rotation without it being a miserable, slow and even more grindy experience.

The rotation combined with the sequential quests make it feel utterly unpleasant and insufferable, especially with how sweaty that mode can get.

I just want Map Mastery to be reasonable without it feeling like a waste of time. I end up getting VRs before the actual quest so it feels downright painful.

Not even asking for much, just to make it less awful to play.

I’m genuinely sick of trying to find these things and I’m convinced I’ll never find them in a chest. This isn’t fun anymore. It’s just soul-crushing not being able to find them legitimately.
If anyone has these, I’ll trade any sprite I have for them.

I had another thought about Animaniacs potentially being in Fortnite while embracing every ensemble character to be utilised in fun ways.

But in particular, I wanna see these two awesome cartoon canines in the game as sidekicks.

They’re loyal, endearing, protective and good boy sweethearts with goofy charm. I would love to see them implemented into the game alongside the rest of the Animaniacs cast having skins and an assortment of cool goodies.

This game has the worst FOMO I have ever seen. Not just this season, I mean in general.
Epic has packed this game with brutally hard quests that feel more like miserable chores and I’m at my wits end with this game.
This game actively screws me over with the servers being atrocious with horrible ping. The odds of collecting random things needed in seasons is atrocious.

It’s not just regular BR. Map Mastery, Reload, Arenas and Ranked are all exhausting and needlessly stressful to try and win the rewards. It’s completely unnecessary to make this face-plantingly brutal to do. The mental endurance is maddening and it takes a serious toll. But strangely, that isn’t even my biggest problem with the game.

The worst part is how bloated the size of this game is encompassing it. 103.5GB. Most games are not this big and it shouldn’t even be half that, period.

This game offers so much and I do occasionally find fun in it but there is too much going on in it.

I felt like I had to say something. Haven’t found a Sprite thing on a special day event and it’s been miserable. I want to love this game but it’s a lot to deal with.

Instead of doubling down on the things people dislike about this game, they should focus on optimisation and improving on the modes because I’m extremely close to giving up on the game. I have patience but Epic is really reaching my limits.

Also, Blitz is the only mode I consistently love. Please don’t take that away from us. Please do more quests/rewards with Blitz. I love that mode.

I was on the West NA servers (because Oceania ones are godawful where I live) and I accumulated over 80 points while getting elims and moving/hiding (ping sucks so it was a safe bet) and after the 8th or 9th game after dying to another player yet again while my ping was terrible, it seemingly reset back to Match 1 out of 11 with zero points.

Even worse, the ping on every server shot up in each and every region from 900 to over 1000, virtually unplayable.

I then realised, I may be on the wrong server so I went to the Oceania one, potentially completely resetting my progress.

I have exercising/boxing to do today so I have zero time to play that in the time I have today to fix all that.

I’m so sick of this game. Why do I even play this bloated mess of a game? It’s just awful at times.

Edit: turns out it never reset my points and I got my cool rewards, minus the skin because that was too hard. Yay!

There are glimmers of silliness and fun in this reboot with the clear satire the show was known for but obviously, it suffered in the end due to bizarre character writing, off-putting gags and a lack of respect for the audience given the massive amount of character omissions from the overall segment-lineup.

I would’ve forgiven the revival entirely if they just gave us one-off segments of the OG cast in a “Where are They Now?” Skit that as cartoon characters, they could’ve been probably doing something interesting that reflects their personalities and honestly, I wouldn’t have minded some changes to the stories that got rid of the formulaic structure that hindered the older segments.

Just a glimmer of interesting possibilities that fleshed out the world of Animaniacs while still including the goofy comedy and heart that made it so beloved in the first place.

It was so frustrating seeing a revival I wanted so much, only to see it fall face-first in the most embarrassing way possible after the admittedly decent first episode.

Even the theme song/opening felt so lacklustre with the lack of the original cartoon cast and its lack of energy. The opening running gags were fun at least but it’s clear they could’ve included the old cartoon cast with clever gags for these and that feels like a wasted opportunity. The end credit gags are gone and it just feels even sadder thematically.

Just because they admit they’re sellouts, that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be allowed to critique this rather cynical revival. It still sucks in ways that truly mattered in the long run.

Whether the show could’ve run longer with stronger writing and characters not reduced to cheap cameos and shock value, I have no idea but the seasons being so short did not do the reboot any favours.

There were genuinely fun moments in this reboot but most of it was from Pinky and the Brain. The Warners were used for awful gross out gags and not-subtle satire that aged incredibly poorly at times. They had occasionally fun moments but honestly, it was too much.

I wanted to love the revival as Animaniacs is one of my favourite shows of all time but I simply can’t as much as I could just barely tolerate it. It’s a frustrating and off-putting experience I don’t want to suffer through again.

Instead of making me laugh, it left me angry, sad and exhausted how much they screwed it up.

It’s honestly frustrating talking about this episode without spoiling it’s biggest twist and the implications around the episode itself.

It even has occasionally really funny jokes in the first half but I really just can’t excuse how horrendous the second half of the episode is that not only ruined the episode but the entire revival as a result.

The hunter actually being a fan favourite character despite what the show claims wasn’t just really stupid and nonsensical despite the brilliant disguise but it also felt like a bizarre character assassination much like the plot of the episode itself.

Seeing 90% of the cast seemingly murdered despite the copout ending was highly disturbing and felt rather, horrifying, cruel and meanspirited on the writers’ end.

It told me just how much many of the people running the revival hated the OG cartoon (except Spielberg apparently) and getting rid of much of the cast turned me off of watching season 2. I only bothered with season 3 because I had hope it would improve and it was mostly okay but it had a horrible ending.

The fact of the matter is season 1 of the reboot was so cynical and vile in the intent of how they treated the legacy of the original series that I think it was without a doubt one of the worst episodes of the entire franchise for how it was a massive insult to what Animaniacs was in the first place.

Animaniacs wasn’t just about the Warners and Pinky and Brain. It was about people from all walks of life being interesting and eclectic in how they told stories in a variety show. You take that away and it becomes a hollow vapid excuse for a series with no substance or any understanding of the characters and their appeal.

It’s bad. It’s so dreadful. Just awful.

The Zero-Point Sprite feels like peak-gaslighting. It’s in the quests for a Seven Suit Style and yet I cannot find it for the life of me. It simply isn’t possible no matter how much I want it. The drop rate is so low, it’s offensive. It’s driving me mad and makes me question my reality.

It may as well not even exist. I have been desperately trying to find it and it’s a complete enigma.

Why do I even play this damn game? It feels horrendous with the irritating FOMO and RNG.

I guess the name of this horrid thing is accurate. There is Zero-Point in even trying to find it.

Edit: a very kind gentleman helped me out so thank you so much for that. Much appreciated. ^^

This is a game where petty people want to ruin other people’s fun and experiences.
I genuinely don’t know what possesses anybody to do garbage like this but it needs to stop.
Epic shouldn’t be tolerating this either. It’s cheating when players are forced in place and can’t fight back.

This game is genuinely atrocious at times and it needs to change. I even tried reporting but it’s absolute garbage.

Epic, please do something about this. It’s ruining your game.

This might sound like a hot take given the controversy surrounding the character but I’m just gonna say it: Runt was completely harmless and didn’t deserve any of the hatred thrown at him from people demanding his removal from the series for ableist reasons.

As someone who is neurodivergent, I genuinely like the character. His personality is someone who cares despite his dimwitted nature (he’s a dog so that makes sense) and he even gets along with other characters in both Animaniacs Stew and Wakko’s Wish. He’s a generally friendly guy with a capacity for emotional intelligence even if he isn’t the brightest, he still cares about his friends and will help out on occasion.

I think the Rain Man parody stuff is an understandable sore spot for the Autistic community and that movie definitely has its detractors who view it as a misrepresentation of the disability spectrum. However, I don’t think this justifies throwing vitriol at a character who simply wanted to be loved and cared for while being a silly comedic cartoon character.

Even in Wakko’s Wish, it implies he was putting on a brave face for Rita in the original show given how aware he was of how awful his situation actually was. He was homeless, had traveled the world while suffering hardships that would break most people. But at that point, he was losing hope. It was only after the kindness of the townspeople gave him and Rita a chance at sincere happiness that he was finally at peace with his situation…

…until the 2020 reboot undid all of it and tried to kill him off.

This was the tipping point for me. They treated him with distain and threw him away alongside many other characters from the cartoon ensemble cast. It was insulting and a slap in the face to everyone who genuinely liked the character.

It wouldn’t have been hard to make Rita and Runt therapy pets. Especially for other animal characters who needed it. It would’ve been amazing to see him using his empathy, kindness and goofy personality to help others.

I think it wasn’t fair to disregard him and the others. It was definitely shameful and pretty ableist to throw him away when all he wanted was to be treated with kindness despite his problems.

He definitely deserved better.
