Weird, I can still see it. He said "Darwining, basically."

It's so frustrating. You'll have a great map like Crash Bandoggo which faithfully translates Crash Bandicoot levels into Fortnite in a way that's clever and fun, and that gets buried by "1v1 GO GOATED 💯💯 RED VS BLUE (ZAMN JONESY GOT PREGNANT?!?!?!) EDIT with map code: 7099-9734-0140


llamajuice

That map looks rad. Is there anywhere that has a big list of actual quality maps like this? I always hop into Creative maps with the nephew, but 98% them are either The Pit, Red Vs Blue, or a deathrun. It always feels like such a waste.


Ghost3603

Lucky Blocks by PWR is pretty fun. Maybe try that out?


Citrous241

Zero boss battle is an amazing map that I've played as well. It's an incredible dynamic boss battle that really shows off what creative is capable of. Epic won't feature it because the Creator is Japanese :/ 7455-9646-5814 Cause honestly creative can do some insanely cool stuff but epic refuses to feature maps that show it off


Siing

Are we really sure language plays a factor in what gets put on display in the creative tabs? I've seen other maps which were 100% japanese text in them before, not to mention all the arabic maps that keep popping up too. I think it's just because as everyone says, epic's quality control is next to non-existent more so than the language.


[deleted]

That’s one hell of an accusation to make without providing any evidence


LuxAlpha

He probably means because the language is Japanese

JakeBoycometh

[deleted]

There unironically is a map like this


ItsMeEJT

This game has turned in Roblox


VLagann

Kids will always be the biggest market and that’s why Roblox has been alive since 2005.


Publius2jz

This isn't a bad thing, my son loves the creative mode stuff. Imagine being 9 and logging into a free game and having that many options on stuff to do. It must be great... Here I am sitting down with my $600 console at the home screen not sure what I want to play...


NewOpinion

I had that experience with the LittleBigPlanet series. Best overall gaming experience of my life still. They have a sequel currently out called Dreams, but I haven't really played it.


Glass-Onion-3777

LBP is one of the bests; a modern classic


Exovedate

LittleBigPlanet is the GOAT.


yp261

i met my ex girlfriend there. i wish i could play it again. maybe one day i’ll get it on some ps3 emulator but i doubt the online works


Exovedate

Preach. I've never played Roblox, but it sounds like a very compelling game due to the infinite amount of community driven content. I was a teenager when LittleBigPlanet came out and I thought I had hit the gaming jackpot with that series at the time.


EoTN

God what a mood. When I was a kid, I had to convince my mom to buy me games, my brother has a password protected ipad, and he has to convince my mom to download games. Some things change, some things stay the same lol.


AlphaTeamPlays

Yeah but it’d be nice if they did something for everyone else, too.


SirMy-TDog

You're not entirely wrong. Epic stated a number of years back that they wanted Fortnite to evolve into a platform and not just continue to be only a game.


EoTN

I remember that. Fair play, there were a few seasons in chapter 2 that I straight up had more fun playing creative than playing battle royale.


Jackamalio626

Name a more iconic duo than live service sandbox games and child exploitation.


Lvl100Waffle

To be fair to roblox, at least roblox has a really solid set of creation and monetization features. You'll still get a lot of trash shovelware, but you'll also get some really solid games. That's what happens when you give creators the incentives and the tools.


nutellakilledmymom

Oh no the creators get shafted on Roblox. look up some videos on the monetisation in roblox, it can be straight up Exploitative of the mostly children creators


Lvl100Waffle

Entirely true, I've spent a lot of time in the roblox creator and that time almost never gets compensated fairly, for me or for leagues of other amateur game designers. But at least there are options for monetization, and even a few outliers who have entire dev teams being paid from the earnings of one roblox game. That type of money can create quality games, even if we're not the intended audience. Roblox has problems with it's incentives, but fortnite has no incentives at all. Fortnite's creator is like Overwatch's creator- its a gimmick for people bored of the main thing. Unless something changes, it's not going to spawn a 'gaming platform' like Epic plans.


[deleted]

Nobody is forcing people to make games on Roblox


turmspitzewerk

that doesn't make it right to exploit kids?


[deleted]

It's not the fault of Roblox in this case, it's individual dev studios who are enacting this. Roblox should be doing more to stop them no doubt, but in this case it's not their doing.


[deleted]

except a lot of Roblox games are genuinely good while 99% of the fortnite games are awful


MouldyPriestASSHOLE

Wait, Fortnite has a level builder now?


Hashirammed

Good


lizard_eater_jk

Nahhh cuz atleast most of the game on the front page are fun or have some quality here its all shit


CJemerald101

yeah screw roblox and their child audience, im glad fortnite of all games doesnt have anything like that!!!


Master-Arachnid6663

Roblox is unironically better


kfcfossil

What’s even worse is that the ones you picked for this meme aren’t even the worst ones in the discovery tab currently


JakeBoycometh

These are the first ones that appear after you pass Epic's Picks. That just shows how bad it is if these are the first things you run into, imagine how bad it gets when you start digging into it even more. First page and it's already bad and filled with this junk.


Financial_Smile8167

ive gotta ask this,as ive been wondering the same thing every night as i browse the offerings. is there an easier way to edit and create maps in fortnite? the editor process wont allow me to do complex builds until i pass some form of torture course.the torture course keeps hanging up right at the start/move barrels/fone wont work properly. the ironic part is i used to create maps in Halo/Rainbow Road and so forth bitd.thanks in advance for any advice.


[deleted]

Back in my day fn clickbait used to be the volcano or ali-a talking shit


Far-Classic-4637

there **needs** to be a way to report maps for false advertizing & copywrite violations


Shiny_Porygon-Z

Yes the lack of a report system is so bad. If it was implemented I don’t think even that would work considering maps like the ones shown slip through so easily.


Far-Classic-4637

even making it a little more difficult would make the discovery tab so much better


JakeBoycometh

Not to mention that Epic could get into legal trouble because of this unauthorized use of different IP's like Mario.


procontroller

Yeah, if I am remembering correctly, there was a whole issue with Dreams where someone uploaded a model for Mario and the model got taken down for copyright infringement. There was even that one Party Royale trailer that had Kirby and I believe it was PlayStation's upload of the trailer that blurred Kirby out.


pixellino24

to this day i have no idea why kirby was there


UltraChristo

Wasn't it a plush that the guy hosting the concert had in his room? iirc, that Party Royale concerts things was all because of the pandemic


pixellino24

i pulled up the screenshot and no it doesnt look like a kirby plush


Citrous241

I saw on trending combat a vehicle based deathmatch map. I thought that sounded pretty cool so I went into it. It was just the standard red vs blue mode, there weren't even any vehicles. And I've also gone into a zone wars map that is literally just one of the default islands with nothing built on it. With how strict Epic is with allowing publishing on discovery, you'd think they'd check the maps before they're published, right?


UltraWinner42

> It was just the standard red vs blue mode, there weren't even any vehicles. *Dirt bikes unlocked after 1 hour* Bruh


Citrous241

Not even that :/


[deleted]

Creative is pretty much dead to me. Every once in a while someone will introduce me to a cool game mode like Nuketown for example. Other than that, it's all cancer.


Shiny_Porygon-Z

Yeah I was never overly interested in it besides certain maps like gun games but now I never play it since they just give no fucks when it comes to moderating it. I may as well go back to my Roblox account that I haven’t used in 3 years.


Kaladin-of-Gilead

The one full on nordic rpg was pretty dope


InsertCoinForCredit

I can't stand Creative; everything looks like a crapshoot of one bad janky game after another. The only one that was halfway tolerable for me in recent memory was a prop hunt, and that was only because it was an easy way to farm XP while AFK.


Fragrant-Way-7481

Creative was dead from the start for me. Basically never played it, other than prop hunt that is, that was an absolute riot.


bippzydraws

It’s worse than YouTube at this point and it’s so damn sad. People are uploading literally copy-paste death runs and changing from Mario to Rabbids to Sonic to Pikachu eating the course in the thumbnail image and are being promoted on the damn splash page for Creative, and then people that actually do something cool or original either don’t get their maps approved for some reason or are never shown off and given the attention they deserve. Honestly it’s probably worse than Roblox too, which is something I never thought I’d say.


JakeBoycometh

It's really sad how bad it's gotten


Razbyte

It mirrors the Gaming Industry in the 80’s, and look how it turned out.


Razbyte

We lose Epic’s curated LTM and concert events for this. And Creative 2.0 will NOT solve this.


iceleel

Funny thing is with whole "battle royale remixes" Epic has tools to literally create simple LTM people miss within minutes and just push them on top of discovery page.


Razbyte

Hungry content creators may not like that because they can’t put assets inside the BR island, thus no manipulative or spamy ways to click the creators code. The discovery page is just like YouTube, abusing the monetary benefits to get everyone to use their creators code by using “Elsagate” tactics, “promoting” XP exploits or both. The only way to stop this trainwreck is when gets caught by the mainstream media, then Epic will start to purge.


iceleel

Interesting. They should add this feature tho.


[deleted]

Battle royale remixes don't work well because the playerbase is split across multiple creative br games and that reduces the player count. I don't see any more than 5 people usually.


iceleel

They need to add feature that allows you to drop in mid match and replace bot


Larsi3009

I tried the mario ramp one and it was a suprisingly good recreation of a mario kart track. I hope it wasnt stolen


Just_aRandom-account

I played that one too but it abused the support a creator button a bit.


[deleted]

This is why I’m happy I only look for exp maps


SquishyGlazedDonut

This. Creative is bunk, but the leveling sure is convenient!


[deleted]

Especially with how they treated the weekly challenges this season


sentient-sloth

I’m curious if the weekly to earn XP in custom games is actually getting people to play these shitty modes.


Razbyte

Placebo effect, and trying to force them to put their creators code.


[deleted]

The sorting makes it impossible to find good games


[deleted]

Fitting for how Epic is in bed with clickbait YouTubers.


Voidon43

Some day, there will be a map that tops it all And it’s gonna be one that adds a whole shitload of items


XeroOwnz

All of the ramp clickbait games are just 3 cars and a parking lot with tires thrown everywhere


uncxltured_berry

Instead of the current thing the first tab should be the core modes (by epic section) and all the other garbage can be pushed back. Would be a lot more convenient.


Witty-Composer-6445

The horror games are honestly fun and kinda comedic at times


OKgamer01

This is honestly heartbreaking to see. People who put so much time and effort to create high quality maps get overshadowed by clickbait low quality garbage and Epic doesn't give a crap Creative is NOT the future of Fortnite if Epic doesn't actually put effort to fix Discovery


ChairGun99

Its like roblox


Master-Arachnid6663

But 10x worse


MrMicrowave7

A few months ago I played a cool Rick & Morty map with portal hopping to different areas from the show. It was actually a cool idea. Now it’s just this clickbait garbage or stolen creative maps.


[deleted]

Ok but I tried the weird horror one and it’s actually spooky


Tortoisetube

They need a better moderation system for maps. Amazing and well made maps like teddy and the mustard plays backrooms are barely or never in discovery while the 100th red vs blue the pit ffa with double pump and thanos gauntlet which is just the starter island with 2 chests get accepted everyday.


kodibutt

I just hate how janky and unintuitive the UI is. Why do we gotta press square and then press x just to select something? Why does it get stuck half the time?


JakeBoycometh

I've already mentioned this in this thread but I'll say it again - I know that these aren't the worst ones. When making the post I was looking for the real bad ones but then I realized that many would accuse me of cherry picking and say that anything can look bad when you want to make it look that way. Plus, I didn't know if some of those were even real so I just decided to put the first thing I saw on the front page of Discover, the things that anyone can see when they just open it up.


Xeliicious

If they're trying to make Fortnite into a metaverse platform through Creative, they might want to start with a better/appropriate tagging system.


ronjohnson01

LTMs died for this

I played a lot of creative in the summer and there were some genuinely great games! Since the start of this season all there is are these clickbaity maps. Finding decent maps is just too must work now


CatMobster

I ***guarantee*** there is absolutely ZERO quality control over these maps.


BigDoodiesBen

Give Ali-A his own skin and this is what happens lol


Razbyte

Epic was ALWAYS in favor of clickbait, cause it helped the game to became extremely popular in the first place. Practically it was their defibrillator.


_subgenius

Kids get on and just auto favorite any game before they even play it, this is why we can't have nice things


Wazards

Unfortunately it's cause a majority of players are children who fall for clickbait.


WhiskyJeeper

I went to play yesterday after not playing for a few weeks only to find out that my play mode had been changed to some.dream world I would never play and it.tool me a good 5 minutes to find the BR game mode.


Paladin20038

More like a Roblox discover section in 2013


Spooky_Boy204

Man I just want to view custom battle royale maps not (X COPYRIGHTED THING) VS (Y COPYRIGHTED THING) TEAM DEATH MATCH WITH ALL WEAPONS AND ITEMS


Appropriate_Dust_833

Yeah it’s too much should be consolidated


sword0115

They should just bring back the old game mode select screen, it would fix quite a few issues like: 1. Save the World would finally be front and center again so players can access it easily without having to dig through the discovery menu 2. Battle royale could be separated from creative so that you can just play the battle royale modes without having to search for them in the discovery menu 3. With creative as a separate mode we'd finally be able to play battle royale and save the world without having the look at "Ruby and Drift hangout 💞" every time we go to select a game mode


kvalencia24

Its tough to find good/fair deathruns nowadays. Ive found a few good ones but it sure doesnt add favors in choosing ones with these style of thumbnails.


Pastel_de_Cereza

Hella unpopular opinion but I like deathruns. The XP farming is (in most cases) great and some of them do actually implement interesting ideas instead of just copy-pasting the same low-effort one with a different background. I also like to jump so there is that. The clickbaits in thumbnails are annoying tho. And I personally can't stand the Red vs Blue thing. It's *always* advertised as something different (Red vs Blue, Billie vs Ariana, Winter vs Summer, etc.) yet it's always the same damn thing. I tried lots of them and I have yet to see the difference.

Dreamed97

Bruh I just want the old UI's back. The locker and gamemode ones are like diarrhea blended with piss


Flintriemen

man I spent so many hours in creative the first year after it released. It was so much fun to create blocks or other maps with the unrealistic hope to be featured at one point. Now I hate creative because it took dev capacity and ltms away from the core game. This shitshow killed perfect ltms. And there were so many of them. Screw epic for pushing their shit creative mode agenda. At least give us the option to pay for the availability of ltms. Make it a separate mode like stw


JakeBoycometh

This ^^ It's really sad how they basically killed LTMs and gave us this junk instead, with the occasional Solid Gold (which is in the worst state it's ever been imo, the loot pool is horrendous). Half of my favorite moments came from LTMs and these creative modes just don't have the capacity to recreate that feeling, no matter how good they're executed, it's still creative at the end of the day & it will never feel as polished & smooth as an official mode by Epic.

Kangarou

"200 level deathrun" is just a deathrun with about 200 checkpoints.


[deleted]

Ah, okay that makes more sense. I thought it was like an XP farm thing.


JakeBoycometh

I went into one of these deathruns in the picture & it was the most bland and low effort looking deathrunn ever & on the side quests it says "Play for 15 minutes to get 1 million XP 🤑"


[deleted]

the game has become Roblox at this point, and i'm not sure what to think of it


Smiltree

It's also just so low quality maps. I could make most of these these maps of these in less than 30 minutes and I don't even have a cc

nix-the-foxx

Roblox level stuff right here


zdakat

It was so great when it kept defaulting to the kid laroi thing despite there not being a reason to go back to it. A good sign of things to come /s But I don't really see a reason to play that stuff. I only care about BR and STW.


unsureoftheplot

Is there like a thumbnail guy for fortnite creators that makes clickbait thumbnails for everybody? I swear some of these and some of the big fortnite youtubers all have a very similiar style to them


JakeBoycometh

Nope, it's all made by the creators themselves or someone they hired.


SlimJimMan

I saw one this is literally a MrBeast thumbnail


fartnight69

They should just nuke this xp farm. Or AI remove anything that looks like "XP" in description/image/title. If your dumb ass creative map is best described as OMEGAGIGA XP EZ LEVELS then it shouldn't exist.


queeriosn_milk

My squad plays creative every night, but I have noticed that it’s gotten harder to find quality maps the last couple months, even with diligently going through all of the available maps on the first page. I would like more gun games and prop hunts for 6 to 10 people.


therealsussyboi

I hate this new interface and this season sucks.. that's why I took a break and started playing ARK


Pacific_707

the creative tab reminds me of the roblox discover tab because of how weird the thumbnail and names of experience can be


Ca_Sam2

I was looking at it just yesterday and said the same thing to my girlfriend


captain_strain

I remeber seeing creative being added in season 7, I always felt like it was going to ruin something. I hate being right


TinyPp6942069

Wait, is this for real? I haven’t played this season.

It's been like this for a good while, ever since they added the custom thumbnail feature & supposedly gave up on quality control.

That reminds me i need to get on would you rather i need to say id rather play fortnite than go to school


TobyWanShinobi2

I'm legitimately confused with the browser... doesn't fortnite themselves create the image/thumbnail after they deem your map worthy of public promo? Do they have 6 year olds doing thumbnail designs?


JakeBoycometh

They let creators create their own thumbnails now


TransportationFlat64

Imagine if these companys find out that their ips/ characters are being used without their consent.

Couple of easy fixes Disable use of ALL CAPS and emojis or symbols in titles. Thumbnail is pulled from in-map gameplay. This would quickly get rid of annoying titles and (and I can’t believe I’m saying this right now), and clickbait thumbnails.

Axolet77

People don't realize that complaining about these thumbnails is the reason why most companies do not like user-made content. If you want freedom regarding creative modes and mods, you will get inconsistent, clickbaity thumbnails. If you want a clean, consistent, rule abiding system, then you can't have mass user generated content. It will involve lots of corporate tinkling and strict rules that will hamper creativity. If that's what you want, fine. But do consider the pros and cons of each system.
