u/ClothesDazzling 9d ago

Ouch that’s a hit to the gut.

u/Rensark 9d ago

I would like to apologize to all the players who saw this and immediately went to the comments.

leZyfex was right - it's not funny, it's scary. It would have been more logical to send this post on Halloween, but it is what it is.

Happy April Fools' Day to everyone, be kinder otherwise I'll write to Epic and ask them to add this UI to the game. Bye.

u/LucifishEX 9d ago

It's not that scary. UI parity would mean Epic actually wants StW to feel like the other gamemodes and actually get played, meaning more players, more focus, and potentially a resurgence for the game

u/Rensark 9d ago

Nobody is against mode parity or StW integration into exciting Fortnite metaverse. Everyone is against making blend, corporate UI in a game that used to be an example of great UI+Artstyle. All those uneven-shaped buttons, playful fonts and great game-design basics were replaced with rounded buttons, boring fonts and lack of visual/sound effects. The game itself just lost it's soul, that's why people don't want them to touch the last remains of OG UI.

u/LucifishEX 9d ago

Oh, the UI is bad. But I would much rather take a dogwater corporate UI and renewed support for the game over simply... nothing

u/ChooChooWaah Raven 9d ago

Exactly this

u/Baizey1130 Autumn Queen 9d ago

Jokes aside, i hate the new modernizing the ui, but this actually looks super well done, imo way better than the current ui

u/Civil-Share-4600 9d ago

im gonna hit you

u/Rensark 9d ago

please don't

u/firesale053 Fossil Southie 9d ago

Look i get it its that day but please dont give the overall ui team ANY ideas lol

14

u/Rensark 9d ago

Calling 1 poor guy in the basement of epic headquarters a team is too pompous...

5

u/firesale053 Fossil Southie 9d ago

Thats the stw ui guy, they have a whole team of like 20 first graders making the br ui

u/Rensark 9d ago

Touche 😂

u/FondlesTheClown 9d ago

I believe you have my stapler?

18

u/ArcAngel014 Metal Team Leader 9d ago

I mean I feel like the best part of this would be shop access without leaving STW 🤣

4

u/ElectriCole B.A.S.E. Kyle 9d ago

They’re actually already working on that

10

u/NepNep01 B.A.S.E. Kyle 9d ago

Im gonna snap you in half now

u/dontforget2tip 9d ago

🤬 got me! My first thought was "oh great! New bugs"

5

u/Signal-Abroad3732 9d ago

That actually hurts to look at

u/Feder-28_ITA Trailblaster A.C. 9d ago

Amazing. But it would be even better if STW was simply integrated into the main Fortnite lobby, and each regular and venture zone was only available to select in Discovery as separate games. The button to call upon the unique STW menu interfaces could be tucked in a corner specifically and only appear when you selected one of the STW zones.

1

u/Rensark 9d ago

I would also propose adding thematic fun maps like "Red vs Blue: Plankerton FFA" or "Twine Pit: Gungame" 😍🤩🙏🏼🙏🏼

2

u/Feder-28_ITA Trailblaster A.C. 9d ago

New collaboration universe available in UEFN: Save The World by Epic Games! Create your own wacky adventures with Ray and friends, with the new Save The World assets and resources! You can also keep all the revenue, we don't care about them anyways!

3

u/StormyHospital 9d ago

You can’t do this to me

3

u/Jordyissappig 9d ago

this is so fake. the real ui has a career tab and a comp tab because imagine not playing ranked save the world

2

u/Rensark 9d ago

Bro Save The World Ranked is not out yet since it was a leaked mode. You've probably meant Save The World Zero Build 🙏🏼

u/diegoxxl Power B.A.S.E. Penny 9d ago

Ass

5

u/Rensark 9d ago

It could be better i guess... I still think they should add Discovery Tab with UEFN maps for easier navigation.

2

u/LOEILDUSINGE_ 9d ago

ts wouldve pmo sm if it was real

2

u/TumoPlayzOnReddit 9d ago

Am I the only one that thinks this actually looks good

2

u/justanabricot 8d ago

Okay so it took literal YEARS for a simple STW UI update while they kept drastically flipping around battle royal’s UI every 2 seasons to fk with us..

Edit: I’m an idiot!

2

u/Ok_Plantain_5755 9d ago

I opened the game excited for the a new UI change ☹️

1

u/CherylRoseZ Stoneheart Farrah 9d ago

I was like WOW that’s a huge update! They love us again!

Mean.

1

u/MiningJack777 9d ago

I mean.... If done right... (But at the same time, I'd hate to lose the last relic of old Fortnite design)

1

u/ambassinn 9d ago

you. you. YOU!

u/OwainDark13 9d ago

I hate today so much

1

u/Blue_Cat28110 9d ago

I swear to god if they actually did this i would absoloutly lose it

1

u/karlcabaniya Wukong 9d ago

I wish it were true. I like the OG style, but this way it will look like STW is part of Fortnite and not a forgotten annex.

1

u/DMN666 9d ago

🗣️ lamborghini mercy 🗣️ your chick, she so thirsty 🗣️

1

u/Logical-Dealer-78 9d ago

Honestly, I don't mind it. But I will say, it is nice to load up STW every once and a while and use the old menus.

1

u/General_Snow241 9d ago

OP, if any epic dev sees this and add this Hulu 💀 modern day COD💀 stupid 💀 waisted 10 trillion dollars on something that was fine as it was 💀 lookin UI, I'd rather see them remove STW entirely, I absolutely hate this UI with every fiber in my atoms.

Here I was keeping an eye out for anything on this day

1

u/Elpistoleroz 9d ago

I don't get it

u/xodj_ Jilly Teacup 9d ago

5

u/Rensark 9d ago

The whole state of the game since 2020 can be described as April fools update

Did they implement the movements of this chapter besides rolling the wall jump and scaling the walls and such ?. And can we keep our numbers up or whatever we're doing to show her yes we'd like more stw updates.
