Fortnite gives fans a free wrap for being down for 11+ hours

Fortnite went down for 11 hours to replace the sport.

Players logging on about 24 hours in the past have been greater than doubtless shocked to search out that the sport was down. I do know I certain was. I logged in late within the night time and the servers have been already down. I checked, and it turned on the market was a 4 AM ET downtime scheduled, however this was a number of hours earlier than.

Peculiar.

Turns on the market was a good cause for the lengthy downtime, and it needed to do with a large overhaul of the map. The map was not amended an excessive amount of between Chapter 3, Seasons 3, and 4. There have been some additions, like some factors of curiosity and small components of cities being raised into the sky however little or no modified.

That was not the case right here, as almost each tiny city and POI not solely was lifted into the air, however a few of them began shifting round. Like the blimp by the Rave Cave being nowhere close to it now. The problem isn’t the size of time it was down for, however the unexpectedness of the replace and the size of time mixed.

For that fans received the Sweat-Free wrap for free as a make-good for the difficulty and understanding however was it sufficient?

Fortnite did owe fans for the surprising downtime however a wrap works

The reality Fortnite gave fans something in any respect for being down for any period of time was a good gesture by the sport and its writer Epic Games.  The reality is, Fortnite and Epic ought to do extra, straightforward to acquire, free giveaways like this, and the actual fact they don’t is my largest problem with them.

The reality they solely gave away a free wrap for being down for 11-ish hours isn’t one of many points I’ve. Especially contemplating how a lot they overhauled the map within the course of. It’s chaos proper now and it’s superb.
