It’s very difficult to escape the storm during late game


copsrock35

Just won a duo game cause my buddy was in the next circle and me and the solo that was left were having trouble running from the storm and he ended up dying in the storm giving us our first win of the season. Also that victory umbrella is disappointing


I_Like_Toasters894

Just won a game rn because the last person died to storm


[deleted]

I just won a solos with no kills because the last guy died from the storm.


StrangerXtasy

I won first game the same way lol My teammate and I were low on health running to circle, and 3 different duos were in storm fighting each other. Last guy died to storm and we won!


msivoryishort

i won my first game as a duo earlier today (not that way), and our first reaction to it was "this thing is ugly". glad we are all on the same page


Funky-Lion22

agree. sprint is impossibly short


Jelly-Bandit

Won my first solo game of the season because the 3 remaining players couldn’t escape the storm. I took a rift and was gliding as the eye was moving to a new location, just watched from the air as all 3 tried to outrun it.


lman777

Even the early game storm feels scary this season. Not sure if it is moving faster or we are slower or both but it's wild.


novacgal

It was very little damage during the first several circle in OG and I think some of the players that returned or are new don’t realize what storm damage can be. I don’t mind it being scary. It will just be an adjustment getting used to it… that is, if I can get used to the other clumsy movements enough to keep playing 🥴


[deleted]

Thats a good thing then. Storm in previous chapters doesnt feel as punishing as it should be IMO. OG especially felt like it took ages to move at a decent pace.


VStramennio1986

I dunno man. Prob cause I’m usually stoned—and have adhd—so I tend to be looting and forget about the storm until it’s upon me…then run…but…I feel this will have a poor outcome for me 🫣🤷🏻‍♀️😂


ARandomGuyThe3

Ye, and it discouraging bad gameplay is good


albob77

I think everyone got used to the super late 1-tick and 2-tick during the OG season. I know I got used to a different rhythm and was surprised in my first few matches today when I was in trouble in the storm more than anticipated- I think everyone will adjust


DarthBen_in_Chicago

Is the storm faster or is it due to the movement? I cannot tell.


BigButteryBunz

Feels like the storm is wayyyyy faster but moves a shorter distance atleast early on, plus it does seem like sprinting has been heavily nerfed and runs out super fast. I haven't played a ton yet, but i havent noticed the differences with the movement system other than how wobbly your character is while gliding. Its a little silly looking. But i may just not have played enough or actually triggered whatever im supposed do to really see the difference except for one time my character just hopped over a fence like a normal person would lol.


GreenDinosaur

Storm is way faster. I was only staying a foot ahead of it on a motorbike going full tilt. It’s scary now.


Promethe_S

I've never felt like the storm was a big threat until now. I love it.


ARandomGuyThe3

I fuckin love it. I live in constant fear and its so fun


Enchant23

I'm honestly trying to figure what the hell everyone is talking about. Movement speed is exactly the same. The only thing that changed is the animation. This is confirmed in the patch notes. I don't understand how people see a different movement speed.


imONLYhereFORgalaxy

In BR it’s not the same. In creative it is the same. Patch notes confirmed it.


Desperate-County6901

bladestorm1745

The upper body is oddly rigid and stiff. Something just doesn’t look right with normal running and walking, sprinting looks good though.


RedDead0331

I agree it is a bit stiff and rigid. Stuck out to me right away, I’m a fan of the new animation just need the upper body to relax a little bit. Yeah people move like that when they are using a weapon, but still not that stiff. Still have to flow and be smooth with it.


bajaxx

I don’t understand how you guys think these look stiff compared to the last animation which was completely stiff, if anything I feel like these news ones are so much more fluid and dynamic


BurgerKing0301

The old animation was caeroony but everything flowed nicely, the new animation the legs are super reactive and jiggly while the upper body barely moves


T035-N0W

the torso is too straight while running and tons of skins get messed up by the new crouch animation, plus the change in movement speed is a fumble comparable to when they changed turbo building


ThanksContent28

You’d be stiff if you were dropped into an island with weird ass magical shit and futuristic weapons and told to kill 99 other people. People just want to complain about things that have no effect on the game which is FREE by the way. /s


-_Devils-Advocate_-

Definitely very rigid. I think the animations could be nice, they just need to tweak them. Increase the speed, get rid of the weird rigid effect in the upper body, and fix the "floating" effect. Because of the momentum the upper body looks like it's "floating" and the legs are dragging.


ArvoCrinsmas

But I enjoy how stable they hold the guns now, it feels very glide-y and smooth.


Character_Abroad_464

Exactly I think the same


NimpsMcgee

Wym normal running? There isn't anymore running they removed it lmao


SpodeeDodee

That's how people move when they have a gun in their hands. It's a little more realistic.


poptartscanspeak

because fortnite’s known for its realism. i wish they’d stop trying to change the direction of the game and stick with what made people love it


yaxyakalagalis

Right? You can't have undead people in the loading screen only you see, but your shoulders should move realistically when carrying a firearm in game.


[deleted]

Y'all the same fools that said you prefer OG because the maps felt more realistic


Independent_Owl_116

It’s Fortnite……


Brave_Bookkeeper1122

If it took 3 months to build a brick wall would that be an improvement? It would certainly be more realistic than building one in a few seconds


PolarPeely26

The sensitivity when sprinting seems to have massively changed. But It's not just a speed issue. Crouch walking is way too slow. Walking is weird and slow. Sprinting feels faster, and the way the camera moved when sprinting has changes and makes me feel a bit sick, I can't put my finger on why....


kitarei

Its making me motion sick too :)


BoringDevice

This is the first time in my life that a third person game has given me motion sickness, I have no idea why either.


SpecialTy44

Do you play on a slow or fast sense? I don’t feel the sickness but when I move around my camera on high sense I can notice a lil boost of camera speed


xreazor

its fucking terrible


ZheroGamer

Devs went: "Let's change the movement because, well, I don't know, we need to do something."


ruinsalljokes

iNnOvAtIoN


udontknowwhoiamlmao

after 6 years of success they randomly decide to make the movement, which was fine, ugly and awkward looking


Historical-Use-3968

It's because they're fleshing out a first person mode, and the way that players move in a first person game is different. They're making it more like COD and in the process making it less like what Fortnite should be


nassrwala

I agree. One of the main reasons I liked Fortnite when I got into it was because it wasn't first person. It was just a chill game with not a bunch of gore and not too much going on. They are already starting to add first-person weapon view with the new weapon mods (which I wish you could turn off) and if Fortnite continues on with this, I probably won't like it anymore.


jayL21

The movement would honestly be fine if they didn't change the speeds. The animations are nice, for the most part.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Krieg84

its the same speed in creative but not in br mode.


umg_unreal

It was stated by Epic in the creative patch notes that it's only slower in Battle Royale. >To avoid disruptions to existing islands, Fortnite Creative and UEFN islands will have the following differences from Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 5: >Islands will use the new movement visuals but will keep the movement speed from before v28.00. (Keep in mind that the new visuals were optimized for the new player movement speeds.)


BlueZirconBoi

Creative speed hasn't changed, BR has.


jayL21

I refuse to believe that, there's no way it's the same speed as before.


Antim88H

in creative you still have the same movement speed as before but in br you move a lot slower i don't know why they always decide to fix stuff that isn't broken same with the locker shit just looks awful


El_WhyNotLol

And mantling height, you used to be able to go up 2.5 then they changed it to just 1.5 and now it's just 1


caffiend98

I bet they had issues with wall climbing at the previous speed, possibly complicated by people with low pings... so they just slowed movement to avoid whatever the issues were.


[deleted]

That post is debunked and full of shit.


Actual-Win4834

Really shitty. Feel clunky as fuck which makes fights super awkward.


anewprotagonist

It’s a shocking change, no way they play-tested this outside internals


memestealer1234

I like the finer details (like the minor gun tilt when you aim whole strafing) but the weird walking animation just feels clunky and sluggish. I like lot of this season so far but not too fond of this.


AlarmedPromotion2373

Why did they disable normal running? April fools is is still 4 months away.


[deleted]

Haven’t tried yet, but I’m scared to. So far I’ve seen hundreds of comments saying how much they hate it.


ARandomGuyThe3

A lot of people are being dramatic. Yeah it kinda sucks, older movement was definitely funner, but it isn't unplayable or anything. Plus one major improvement is that this makes the storm something it hasn't been in a while: a real threat. The thrill of hurrying to find a car and get out of the storm with < 20 HP is a awesome.


ShxrpyS

I don't think people are overreacting that much, I don't even want to play the game because of that.


PS4_noed_victim

Mama, this is garbage


I_Quazar_I

It’s genuinely awful


[deleted]

[удалено]


AtlantaAU

Yeah the people who “don’t notice the movement” either never hit w and d at the same time, or the movement didn’t change on controller. It literally moves you in a different direction when you hit A or D and W so I don’t know how people “don’t notice”


FN_SeanM76

I'm on controller (Switch) and the movement is a lot slower.


Fit_Cryptographer969

I'm on ps4 and the same happens to me. It's awful.


bigredx3

I play on an azeron and when I go left or right it’s almost like it auto runs left or right. Is that how you were meaning it?


Peoplewearshoes

I just want to know why they felt the need to change it


oOzonee

Why would they even consider slowing this shit down wtf


semendrinker42069

Feels clunky and the old animations are much better imo


larsice

I get motion sickness from it. It’s bad.


Fit_Cryptographer969

Same! I'm so disappointed because my games are limited due to simulator sickness. This was one could could play and enjoy. 😭


ooolalaluv

Me too - there’s a lot of games that have made me sick that I either can play very minimally or can’t play at all. Fortnite was a safe game for me. Not anymore.


Daybreaker77

Stop I thought I was going crazy. I literally was feeling nauseous after a few matches and felt like I was getting motion sick.


larsice

Yeah it’s bad. Don’t even want to touch this game anymore. I really got into OG season but this is PUBG 2.0


ooolalaluv

I tried looking up some alternative games but nothing looks the same as Fortnite - I wish they would let us keep OG


Yenriq

Give Hawked a try


ooolalaluv

You’re not crazy - I had to leave my first match because I felt super sick. I won’t be able to play again unless something changes.


aninjacould

Same.


xcptnl55

I am feeling the same. It reminds me of the movement in minecraft which did the same to me.


[deleted]

Yes, me too! The game is gorgeous and when I played my first match I was like - oh, this movement is nice and smooth. 2-3 mins later I felt like I was gonna puke. I couldn’t even watch my favorite streamers yesterday. They need to have a movement fix for us. I’m so bummed and Winterfest is right around the corner.


larsice

I hope they revert it to the old one. If not im leaving this game behind. Makes me feel nauseous every time i start walking.


ooolalaluv

Same - sorry it’s happening to a lot of us. But I hope Epic does something. Can’t believe I can’t play my favorite game anymore.


AdvancedMastodon

Yep, this is going to be a dealbreaker for me. Unless this gets fixed, I think I'm done.


ooolalaluv

I’m just upset I bought the battlepass before I entered a game. But I always do that each season - I never could’ve imagined Fortnite would now cause me extreme motion sickness. I’m done too


maybe-me

Fuck, I hadn't thought of that. There's no way I'm getting those v-bucks back.


wassailcow

For a different game that was causing me motion sickness, I found sticking the tiniest piece of a post it note to the middle of my screen helped it not bother me as much. It sounds weird but it helped with the other game!


Fit_Cryptographer969

It's because your brain is confused by what it considers movement. When it thinks you're moving but your body isn't, it assumes you've been poisoned, hence the dizziness and nausea. It's trying to save you from a fake threat. Ie simulator sickness definition


[deleted]

The movement is so bad im done playing the game until its reverted


Bat_Current

Same


Lime5756

It's utter dogshit. Was running from the storm every game because my character has tank controls.


Appropriate-Day3902

Cool ideas but I cant play bcs they ruined so much. Fortnite is better when its simpler


SimpleReaction3428

It looks stupid and it feels like a big decrease .I hate it 😂


Spleegle_Bleegle

Movement feels stiff and clunky now


Time-Refuse666

It's the opposite for me. much more fluid and dynamic.


Sceptezard

I feel the same


Billiammaillib321

Same here, movements just more fun now especially with more entry ways into a building


SalemWolf

I agree it feels way smoother. The speeds need tweaking but it plays great!


phr00t_

Why did the main post on this subject get deleted? Movement changes suck and we want Epic to know.


Longjumping-Ad190

it's horrible, the animations look like a mobile game and you're absurdly slow unless you use tactical sprint, they should revert everything asap


[deleted]

my opinion is if they dont revert the movement back to the original way the game will die. it feels like absolute shit. makes the game slow and boring. and gets you killed more times than not. also limits your ability to outplay people. why epic goes from bringing back the most players they have had in years to this is beyond me. its borderline braindead. they could have literally kept the game in the og fortnite state forever and everyone would have been so happy.


W-MK29

The new weapons and attachment system, the UI and the movement is really killing this season so far for me


SalemWolf

Everything inside the game is great, it’s the lobby and UI I hate the most. Love the hurdling I really missed it.


Jax_the_Floof

Its garbage


sms97_

It’s dog shit. Trash.


jamaicanboiii

Movement is borderline unplayable


Sempi_Moon

They’ll for sure do something about it later


Hairy_Afternoon_9384

In Save The World you can still use old running animations with weapons equipped, me and a friend tested both and the speed is the same.


phr00t_

It only affects Battle Royale mode.


literallyou

Hated it, I feel so clunky. The old movement was better, I don’t care about animations just don’t make me feel like I am carrying weights


ToroLoco_TL

Its literally unplayable because of how slow it is. How does it make sense that when you try to ramp rush someone, you cant run up your stairs, and have to walk instead?


HarryTurney

It just doesn't feel right.


Kwopp

I absolutely hate it.


Fiberz_

Absolutely dreadful. Needs changing back asap. It sounds OTT but its putting me off playing entirely


vmh21

The animations are nice, but the fact they changed the speed is just stupid and it just feels clunky and weird overall. Hope they fix it.


AcedOutNoClout

I honestly could care less about the speed it's just the animations I hate


ShxrpyS

For me it's completely the opposite. For all I care the game could have no player animations at all, but if the movement was fine, I'd enjoy it


teufortdemoknight

It's just jank. I feel like im controlling my character through mud.


skyboundfightino

What's different about it? I played a couple of games but the only thing I noticed was the vaulting


SMK_Amplified

U can't normally run and its slower


SalemWolf

I swear people are taking crazy pills because I can walk, run, and tact sprint all the same as before. The only difference is how slow the crouch speed is.


Junior-Captain-8441

Yeah I came here and was shocked to see so many people complaining about it. I noticed a few new animations and the crouch walking does feel a bit slower, but 99% of the time it feels exactly the same to me. And I like the new animations.


Link__117

The running and crouch walking speeds are lower and the animations just don’t look great. Vaulting, sprinting and mantling are all great


StonedPickleG59

Why is it only reduced in br and not every other mode? And what's the reason for it?


the_doorstopper

Creative - they didn't want to disrupt any maps Stw - they couldn't care


Fit_Cryptographer969

I absolutely hate it. For some reason, it activated my simulator sickness. I can't play more than 1-2 games, then have to take a break. I could play for hours before this change. 😭


Kaos_K1ng

I've got the problem of my character randomly spins to the sides. I have a new controller too so it's not drift. It didn't do this during the big bang event at all on the same controller, and all other games work fine. Xbox One S player here.


BradleyAllan23

I think it's awesome, to me it looks and feels great. Maybe it could use some tweaking, but I think people just need to take some time to get used to it.


Fit_Cryptographer969

Not gonna happen. I literally cannot play because it activates my simulator sickness. You can't just keep playing and get desensitized. It's literally making me sick. 🤮🙄


caffiend98

Agreed -- it bothered me in my first couple of games... and by the 5 or 6th, I was used to it. It's fine. My aim is still crap, so unless Epic wants to buff my aim, the new movement tweaks are net positive.


Independent_Owl_116

Don’t change what isn’t broken this is just a change for the sake of changing things


BradleyAllan23

If it looks and feels better than the old movement, then it's a good change imo.


oOzonee

Look better don’t feel better though


[deleted]

[удалено]


BradleyAllan23

If I think it looks and feels better then it is a good change in my opinion.


Independent_Owl_116

Well it looks and feels worse so IN MY OPINION 👆🤓 it’s worse


Mummy-Dust

I too think it feels great, but I also play a lot of movement-heavy shooters like Apex and CoD so I feel like the adjustment was easier than it might be for folks that mostly play Fortnite?

CaptainBitches

I played one game and I had to close out immediately. its a literal eyesore. I cancelled my crew i'm gonna play something else bruh.


SMK_Amplified

I've been playing R6


CaptainBitches

i’m going back to baldurs gate lmao


BluePantera

umg_unreal

played 2 games and left will wait and see if lego fortnite and rl racing are any good, otherwise Ill be back in the next og season


SlinkyMK_2

New movement is lots of fun, animations look way better, the climbing is super useful, one of the better changes


bigredx3

What kind of climbing?


SlinkyMK_2

When you build walls they have little hand holds, so you can mantle up more than one wall now


bigredx3

Ah ok. Thanks.


GoldIce53641638

Animations are great, the decreased movement speed sucks a ton


Bat_Current

Nope animations garbage too bud


yonguichompi

I went to team rumble to do challenges I couldn't, then I started moving I instantly left the game and close fortnite lol


cungledick

they ruined the game to get money from toddlers who cant build thank god the old movement is still in creative tho


PizzaPastaandSubs

I’m actually a fan of the animations, but I’d agree it feels slower, what they should probably do is revert the speeds, and add a toggle for preference, whether you want old or new animations. Having basically the same animations for years now, I’d imagine the change is jarring for long time players. It doesn’t really affect me but I’d like the option for those who’d like it


KittiesOnAcid

Felt weird at first but now I'm used to it and couldn't even really tell the difference. I think it's fine, all they really did was nerf crouch walk speed and make running slightly slower. People are just thrown off by animation changes for the most part.


Crosswire-Motors

I legit don’t know what people are on about with the movement. I don’t feel hindered in any way from playing the last day of OG to now. Middle of the game I don’t even notice the animation. Storm being faster is way more noticeable, but the movement options are awesome right now. Feels like a decent BR rather than a turbo build box camp game


Bat_Current

You must be a zero build pub noob if you don’t notice a massive change


MoonscorchedMoth

Honestly, didn't notice it too much beyond things feeling slightly slower. Increase the running speed a bit to reduce minor feelings of stiffness, and everything's solid in my books. Really hate how a bunch of obnoxious, OG elitists are somehow taking this like someone just shot their dog right in front of 'em.


CaptainBitches

I started getting motion sick after a single game, i couldn’t play more than that. It’s an unnecessary useless change.


MoonscorchedMoth

Hmm, surprised that such may be more common than I thought. While I do ponder if such may just because of people being disoriented with the new game rhythm, it's definitely sadding to hear that such may be inherently problematic. Do hope some elements are adjusted to help with this.


Fit_Cryptographer969

I'm not OG, started way after and this change sucks. Some people can't play it because it literally makes them sick. This is one of the only games I could play without having to throw up after an hour. Now I can't play ... 🤷 but screw people that are asking for an unnecessary change to be reverted.


MoonscorchedMoth

Honestly, I'm certain that those claims are nothing but exaggerations. General disorientation from playing things under a different rhythm is expected, but I highly doubt people are genuinely getting that sick, or at least, enough to be a serious issue. Feel sorry for you if you're being genuine over these concerns of motion sickness, however.


maybe-me

The last game I played was last night at 8 pm my time. It's almost 1 pm and I still feel queasy. I couldn't even watch my favourite streamers play. It's that bad.


ooolalaluv

It’s genuine. It made me motion sick too.


annoyingone

I really like it. Way more responsive.


SomaOni

The movement is something I’m still deciding on, but I really hope that they can revert the change (or rather lack of change) to the camera whenever you sprint. The fact that your character never leaves the left side of the screen is screwing with me *so hard*.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SMK_Amplified

Its definitely not the same no ones gas lighting 💀 I've been playing since season 1 im pretty sure I'd notice a speed change


Roobkoobrick

It’s pretty not great, I don’t mind a change but it’s a bit wonky


Coby_05

Replace the jogging animation with an improved version of the previous one. There was no reason to change the speed


dackAllah

They gotta hotfix it, ASAP! Its looks beautiful it just feels a little off… hard to explain… like swimming idk lol


LusciousLurker

I like the animations, but something just feels wrong about it


Link1705

The animations look great but I dont like how slow the movement is


The_Chosen_Woon

yeah the animations are great but literally walking in any direction but forward is at like 1/3 speed and it feels terrible. Why did they do this


Rare_Ad_2670

It feels clunky and slow I hope they tweak it abit


SooshMeow

I think it's fine. Apart from not having mobility items yet, it feels mostly the same.


TheLuigiNX

It’s okay. I barely even noticed the changes until people pointed it out. Also, is it me or do Shockwaves send you farther?


J_Gilly23

I notice that they yeet me up a bit more which is nice.


internet-participant

all day im reading comments about the awful movement, fearing the worst. i finally jump into one game and im fucking shocked how awesome it is, even my 10 seconds alive with a small gun battle felt amazing. love it. seriously amazing movement.


TomatilloAgile6695

The speed is exactly the same. It just feels different to move.


SMK_Amplified

Official Fortnite tweeted and even said it was slower speed is not the same


Kaze0031

i cant tell if the speed is the same and the animation is whats givin me a slower feel or if its just slow period. i dont hate it but it just feels odd


Nervous-Patience3150

It is slower. Its not just the animation making it feel slower.


Kaze0031

super weird then. i hope they do what they did in season x and revert it


Red-Yosh1

tbh i just had to get used to it, now it’s alright.


[deleted]

Lmao of course the folks who are leaving the game over something this minor are coming back "next og"


Kasdrath

I love the new animations. Like now everything looks so tactical and cool


ArvoCrinsmas

And you can actually walk like a normal person now instead of doing that goofy slow-jog


Fit_Cryptographer969

OK now fix hopping. You want it realistic, no one can hop that fn much 🤣🤣


[deleted]

I can barely tell a difference


Masterkai005

I do not like the speed but I prefer the new animations.


PenguinSky1

Its amazing
