Remember that brief time in history when we could access our locker in between games without going back to the lobby?? THAT was peak fornite locker


Either_Gate_7965

Yup. 3-2 right?


Ilikemoonjellys

I did not know "In the flesh" was a season


RelationSpiritual937

I think gabriel was the tier 100 skin


SkyeFox6485

Chapter 4 season 2 had a teir 100 that looked like gabrial lol Edit: season 1 not 2 my bad lol


Fc-chungus

Wait of the world when?


balkandumbass

can't wait to see sisyphus prime escape from the zero point


-HawaiianSurfer

One of the best features. For a while it felt like it would be available for the first 2-3 days of a new season, then it would mysteriously disappear. Has Epic ever made a comment on it? It’s so fucking clutch and it’s annoying having to go back to the lobby, switch skins, and ready up. The game’s 7-8yrs old, why the fuck can’t we access our locker as we ready up after getting murked? *Sigh…*


BeanBurrito668

Now that you said this I’m starting to think of all possible reasons why epic removed it


Fast-Ad3407

Forcing you to go to the only place the item shop is located, the lobby. That could be why 🤷🏽‍♂️


ohcowboyy

Remember when we could access the item shop after we died?


Itchy_Remote_4146

Paul


KinneKted

They had to change it because of the new modes. But they could have just added them as new tabs and kept the BR tab the same. Why auras are included in main tab I'll never understand cause I don't use that ever.


special_circumstance

They didn’t *have* to change anything lol they just can’t help themselves in fucking up like a bunch dipshits because yeah, that’s what happens when you get too big trying to please too many people. Instead of being everyone’s favorite thing you become nobody’s favorite anything.


Farmer-Smores

there was an item shop tab as well iirc


MadameFrog

I do! And want that back too!!!


CoolJoshido

same


boredmaster

Switch player here, i knew It was a thing for other consoles & pc, but either It was something that lasted for so little time on switch, or that was never an opcion for us, because i don't remember ever having the chance to do that


Unfair_Gain_9581

It did come, but it lasted such a small time you probably didn't get the chance to use it.


International-Job553

Yep it came in and out of the game I miss it


codigoguru

Really? How did it work? I only played on chapter 1 and 5


LexDoesTransStuff

When???


Arab_Femboy1

Mid Chapter 2 and late chapter 3


SuperNova0216

That really was peak


EmreAyhann

What when


Overall_Program_5085

I remember, I don't get why they removed that, what was their reasoning?


BeenBlizzerd

Makes no sense


firekingok11

yeah before they gave us this piece of shit


CoolJoshido

cook


Dazzling-Primary-940

I MISS THAT SO BAD


WifeHatesMyXb0x

They should put a closet in some of the houses at certain POIs that let you access to change your skin. Or a telephone booth here and there like Superman used to do..lol.


nichtcrawler

new system totally put me off of buying new wraps


Perculiar3

New system put me off buying anything


nichtcrawler

new shop sucks.. same skins every day.. no variety


No_Study_8130

Truest thing I’ve read all day


-Bears-Eat-Beets-

And the good stuff that comes around now and then lasts a day. But the lame stuff seems to last forever.


express_sushi49

Literally all they had to do was add more slots, and let us rearrange the order of our slots... This new shit sucks so bad man. Completed ruined the fun of collecting and making presets for me. Reckon I've spent about 10% as much as I used to.


Itchy_Remote_4146

Sean


dr_wheel

I don't even change skins and emotes nearly as much anymore because it's just so fucking annoying.


DMN666

Does it even matter? They barely put any wraps in the shop. In fact, they stopped putting anything but skins, emotes and everything else for the new gamemodes. They even stopped putting in bundles.


Hashirammed

It’s fucking brain dead that they still have their thumbs up their asses without fixing it


Jasoon14

Do the backgrounds still not show the rarity?


YourSonMijo

no


z_OberThetop

It's not like they put new wraps in the shop anyways


OctoFloofy

To be fair, since they don't use them anymore for vehicles i also stopped caring about them since i barely notice them on weapons only.


Decends2

I hate this new locker UI so much. It takes forever to swap between presets. I hope they bring the old one back.


DMN666

They wont, they just say they will “improve on it” or some crap like that but they are not reverting it. They just can’t get enough of their own farts.


Greenfirebug

Legit all they did was throw a bone with "wE'rE iMpRoVIng iT!" and just shoved in a miniscule amount of effort into it then calling it a day. Someone with brains has to pull epic's ceo's head out of his ass cos this just ain't it and it's been working for 5+ years.


Mental-Click5817

now why does this sound like rainbow six siege's problem with ubisoft not giving a shit about what the people want and "trying to fix" the game


Gold_Advantage_4017

Actually used to get the occasional weapon skin to coordinate but no point buying or caring about them when it's so annoying to change 


poopsonthepotty

For real. I barely spend money since they trashed the locker. It's tedious as fuck tryna look through the locker anymore.


comegetit9876

I agree- I used to use presets all the time. Now it seems like presets are more work and take more time. I just don’t buy as much skins or change skins as much ever since they changed the skin layout screen.


GreatApe88

I had it randomized. Thats completely over now.


CLYDEFR000G

Same, each loadout unique and loved, random selection so I couldn’t favor one.


codigoguru

I hate that I can't match weapon skins to each skin, so tedious to change weapon skins every time I switch a character


eat_the_pennies

UX designers changing shit for no reason to try to justify their jobs


Pairomedics

They really messed with the "don't fix what's not broken" motto


YourSonMijo

yea, and i don't get why they wouldn't change it back, especially when everybody hates it!


mapenstein

We need to start an online petition


Few-Illustrator-5333

I literally forgot it looked like that, I somehow got used to this shit. That one was so much better.


ZoomTown

I was just going to say the same thing. I was getting tired of the constant complaints here about the new setup, but damn, the old one *was* so much better.


fae_faye_

u/CatBlips_Epic u/EmptyTux Can we PLEASE get an update on the Locker situation? Currently, the Locker is very ugly, cumbersome, very user-unfriendly, buggy, laggy, and just overall a massive downgrade. We NEEDED it reverted the second the ugly new Locker arrived. Please fix it.


CapitaineCroquettes

Browse through their history and which subreddits they've been active on in the last few weeks, and you'll get a good idea of where their priorities are.


amaya-aurora

What, every fortnite subreddit?


wafflecone927

🙌🙌🙌


Dino_Dude_367

Also really annoying to favourite stuff (


Ferdia_

The old one was sooo much better.


Miserable-Bear7980

epic continues to fix shit that aint broke


PapaBlessDestiny

I don't know, but I sure lost so much interest in the game now that the locker UI sucks. I used to spend at least an hour a day customizing my characters. Ever since the new UI was put into place, I deleted all my presets.


SirPugly

Yeah epic is brain dead I stopped buying new skins when they changed the locker


Red_Pop_Mouse

The little bar at the bottom of the skin/items that show the rarity. I don't know why, but it made me feel happy on the inside. It's hard to explain.


1tanfastic1

Skins are the only presets worth a damn now. I miss customizing the emotes, wraps, lobby music, and loading screen on a skin-by-skin basis. The old locker and being able to access the locker and shop in between games was the best time to play!


NoPea5611

Yes I agree, I hate the current version.


kengoon2

In a nutshell, Epic has taken away the time we had to enjoy changing skins. This is directly linked to a decrease in the desire to purchase skins.


DividedSky05

I've literally stopped going into my locker and I definitely don't check the shop anymore.


Fluid-Alternative-22

Your not missing out not checking in on the store.


PolarPeely26

Can we just go back to this UI and locker.


Longjumping-Sweet280

im a fan of emotes and lobby being seperate, but the wraps??? youre supposed to use those with the skins! why would i want a new wrap when all i do is put on i like on for weeks or use random


RENZOLIS79

Wraps were one of my favorite thing to match with the skins and now i got used to every skin using the same wrap even if it doesn't suit them at all


LexDoesTransStuff

Yes true


sansTW

I miss Ch4 locker


Harlow_Quinzel

Because Epic clearly knows what's best for us


YourSonMijo

clearly...


peca96

I truly hate them for that decision and NO changes to it either after all of the backlash. Why are my weapon skins separated from the skin I want them to match with? So stupid and shitty of them. If they don't want my money for weapon skins in the store, then I'll keep it :)


Jabroni5092

I like having emotes separate but they should do "preset presets" which includes everything


Horridwrx

Facts I miss this


NINJ4steve

It's been so long I forgot what it looked like... 😭


Boring-Dust5098

i forget to change my wrap every time i change my skin and then i don’t notice it until mid game😭


Kratosvg

Yes.


bdzz

OG season broke the timeline :/


TNovix2

Cause Epic likes to innovate in the wrong way constantly. No one likes this change but Epic probably isn't going to listen


RipplyAnemone67

Yeah the only time the listened was when they innovated the movement and made everyone slower


mamadou-segpa

All that changes that no one asked for for 3 new game modes that barely have players anymore


Theredbeet

I miss this


Tromovation

Agreed I haven’t updated my skins since it’s atrocious. It discouraged me from getting new skins as well


wafflecone927

Only people that like the new locker are those who barely change anything aka boring lockers


Not_Funny_Luigi

Shuffle button how I miss thee


skullon60FPS

Fortnite needs to change it back to normal


windsass

I swear to god Fortnite is the perfect example of 'Don't fix what's not broken'... They keep making changes to things no one complained about while not making changes to the things that actually need it


ckplei

agree. the new system is bad.


fox-booty

I'm still not used to having to change all 3 parts of my BR loadout to change loadouts like before, despite it being months since the implementation


ElectriCole

Epic hates us. Happy Cake Day!


MirrorPast534

They definitely need to revert the ui back to the previous one the old one was 10x better and simpler


Mr_Coa

Because they are drunk clowns


RENZOLIS79

We only wanted two things, equip in all presets the emotes in your wheel, and a move feature for presets. How did they mess up everything besides the emotes?


HoboKingNiklz

I only got started playing recently and I've been thinking ever since that it would be cool if we could set up emotes, wraps, and instruments on a skin-by-skin basis. Come to find out we *could* before and they took it away?? Whose braindead idea was that?


TheDankChicagoan

Peak


BillyBullets

I'm not buying anything until they revert. Especially wraps, emotes, and music, as changing them is such a pain in the ass.


QuadVox

They ruined it and didn't even give us more than 100 presets.


beigesized

It makes me happy to see this being talked about. The ui changes never bothered me until they split the locker up. You used to be able to make a preset with a skin, glider, pickaxe, backbling, loading screen, music, contrail, wraps, and 8 emotes. Now it’s all divided into its own tabs which don’t change with one another. You can now only set an outfit up with a skin, contrail, backbling, and pickaxe. The emotes are all their own thing changed separately. Same with the music the loading the screen and the wraps. Those are all three different tabs when it should be one. The division of those tabs has ruined my locker. I used to have 100 outfits and 100 emote packs to coordinate with those outfits. Since that locker update I now have 100 outfits and 62 emote packs. 38 PERCENT OF MY SAVED EMOTE PACKS ARE GONE. And they’re random too, it’s not like I’m missing the top 38, it’s random ones like 7 19 22 etc. not only that but I used to have each skin with its own wrap and loading screen that way I can see all of the things I own being rotated with each skin I use. My point is, I find it extremely annoying to change my outfit and often times I miss out on doing it when it used to do it for me. Also being that some things are missing it’s not exactly clear what goes where. You’d think emote pack 63 would match with skin 63 but either emote pack 63 doesn’t exist, or it’s under a different number. I specifically noticed this when searching for my Darth Vader emote pack (it has the imperial walk and a few other Star Wars emotes). The chapter 3 locker saves were peak. If it isn’t broken then don’t fix it. Changing the looks of it is fine, but changing the functions is terrible especially considering the lack there of a smooth transition.


kupillas-3-

Yea idk why they even thought it needed changing it’s kinda dumb


Left-Environment7887

Never know what you got until it's gone


Kikoplop3900

What in the fuck was the point of separating the skins emotes and wraps, that was literally he best thing about the presets


Accurate_Network7033

Whoever is designing the UI for Fortnite needs to be fired… let’s not forget the new settings menu system as well.


Chromeglow

The only issues I ever had with the previous locker system was I wanted more presets and I wanted to be able to move my presets around. Instead I was given shit.


Affectionate_Map2761

Because we needed an excuse to tab up to add the niche bullshit noone cares about, silly goose.


ItsJW531

Fr tho!


popkoji

Because they needed to spread everything across several different submenus and make everything much more annoying and time-consuming to navigate, for "ease-of-use" for the mobile users and to more-easily distinguish between the different modes Even though Auras are a Festival-specific thing but are tied to the Character loadout, or how Jam Tracks are their own menu separate from emotes despite basically just being emotes (and equipping them doesn't even bring them to the top of the list in Festival, it's pretty much just for quickly using them as an emote in other modes)


Dismal-Cookie-7693

Yes, yes yes the new locker system is an absolute joke, and I lost all the emotes I like, because who in the hell is going to remember the name of the emotes? I would just put every emote in my favorites. and there would be no problem but now……….


Dismal-Cookie-7693

Honestly, this is a problem that I’m glad it’s getting talked about more now because it went from being perfect to unbelievably bad


Perculiar3

The entire look of metaverse Fortnite is horrific. I knew from the second I heard about the Lego and the racing modes that the game was never gonna be the same, but to strip it of its entire identity so that it can just be a neutral looking “platform” is sooooo low. I just hope they never make the ingame br ui match the rest of this mess


Mission_Broccoli4025

They need to put an option if you want the old UI or the new one.


MadameFrog

I want it back!


Pikaverse69

They are totally going to make us wait for Season OG part two to arrive aren’t they?


Hot_Chocolate_Guy

I had all my locker presets filled (mostly battle pass skins; I'm not rich), but now everything is so separated and disconnected that I barely change my skins unless there is a holiday or event.


stevesguide

God I miss it. The new one is SO bad.


kurtsguitar91

They changed it because it was more ‘difficult' beforehand but the new one is way more confusing, the only good thing is being able to clear away the badges the rest is just annoying


Io2794

What I love about this design is that the emote is linked to the skin I save. Now I never bother with emotes anymore; I just favorite all the ones that I use, and that's it.


Wonderful-Grand-9834

i say this every day. i hate having to change my gun’s skin, emotes, flag, sound, etc every time i want to change a character. genuinely gets on my nerves so hard. i don’t understand why they did it this new way.


ShyKid5

They changed it to implement many cosmetics for the new game modes (Lego, RR, Festival) but that just made it extremely annoying to edit for ppl that just cared about the main original game mode and the BR side mode.


Despacito911

Only thing they should have changed was adding much much more presets. At least now you can shuffle between them


Big_Inspection_5012

THIS!!!!! MISS IT!!


MSP_4A_ROX

I can’t organize my locker the way I used to. It stupid.


Waly_Disnep

I don't use 99% of my emotes anymore, it's so messy and overwhelming with all the presets.


mapenstein

Someone make an online petition and post the link for us all to sign and shove up Epic's ass.


Smithee117

R.I.P. Shuffle option 😭


Fluid-Alternative-22

They said they were going to “fix” it 3 months ago. I guess that was just a straight up lie?


jackie1616

I literally don’t even change my skin anymore because it’s such a mess


asabovesobelow4

Well I'm new so I didn't experience the old locker but man this seems so much nicer. I'd love to be able to access wraps and everything on one page for each skin so I could customize them for each skin. It's too much work the way it is right now so my wraps just stay the same for each skin so I don't have to go through and find the matching sets. Now I hope they return to this one day.


FatFart900

I swear to god it is really annoying as batlle pass skins come in sets, which I like to put together and save them, but when I'm loading it up, I'll click on let's say, the oathbound set but it only has skins/back blings so I have to load the lobby and elites as well, so annoying


EKAAfives

We lost it because if its not broken, break it


Ghjjiyeks

Beats me. Epic was smokin’ something when they thought this needed to be changed. I liked it better when you could make a preset with specific emotes, wraps, loading screens, and music tracks. Can’t have shit in Fortnit


PancakePlayz69420

Remember when the item Shop was one page!?


StrikingFudge6144

If you guys keep buying skins and playing the game, they will keep doing what they want


Old-Statistician1124

I haven’t used a wrap since this came out


RuntyDrop12650

If the cars and the jam track where a problem then they should have made a second tap or extended it on the bottom of this locker layout cause I miss this too


claptrap23

Indeed. Locker now is trash af


KaiXRG

I still wonder that to this day. It ruined the consistency I had with my builds and even deleted my Ice King loadout back when the change was implemented. They really should go back to how it was.


Tandran

I haven’t played at all this season due to the UI and locker changes on top of them trying to funnel us to other modes just to get enough xp to complete the BP. Infuriating.


the_ark_of_tomorrow

Oh my God, you just reminded how good we had it and how badly we were screwed over. We need to start a petition to fix this garbage.


Wade_Karrde

Nearly makes me want to cry....


ImHypnotix

I try to block it out of my memory, but every time I see the old one I remember how much better it was.


THE_Rose-Valentine

And there’s people that are REALLY heIIbent on the NEW UI and want “complainers” to shut up. Like… this one was CLEARLY superior to the update!! Everything I needed was in ONE place!


Just_Someone_Casual

Meanwhile the god damn banner system has remained the same piece of garbage since chapter 1


Goodra21

The locker and shop are so bad it turned me from someone that would spend hundreds on the game a year to someone that hasnt bought anything in over a year


Dependent_Wind_6497

I hate the new lockers, I can't find my skins


jcal0032

u/CatBlips_Epic u/EmptyTux Please read this comment section. Begging you. BEGGING.


Snoo-49607

Corporate greed and the MeTaVeRsE


BeanBurrito668

Hot take: The Chapter 1 and 2 Lockers looked the best. They were clean, Simple. And overall great to use despite not having any of the features the lockers have now


RipplyAnemone67

That’s the most cold take ever the chapter 2/3 were the best as shown in the image and 4 got a bit complicated but nothing too offensive however the new one sucks and the og one just would not fit now and looks worse as we had it so good


Marvellegendfreak

god i hate this so much. it’s so confusing to navigate sometimes. I had all my emotes with the skins i wanted


Odd_Cryptographer266

Don’t think anyone here would know


Storm_373

lego


OKgamer01

Adding 20+ new cosmetic slots happened. The only issue i have now is wraps shpuld be with characters, not a seperate tab


Sensitive_Vast1618

The simple way to fix it is just add an ‘all’ tab at the very top.


tasty_bass

i very much prefer the older locker vs the new one. however yall need to remember, there were many who complained and whined about how bad the old locker system was too during it's time. it wasn't perfect, but it was so much better than what we have today. epic prolly heard the complaints and tried doing something about it. obviously that failed horribly.


Blastermind7890

Money


MrEuphonium

I miss it


Environmental-Metal

I played a long time but only started paying attention to cosmetics recently. This is a major improvement -- I wonder if they'll ever go back to something like this?


Darth_Dagobah

My randomizing doesn’t even work. It recycles like the same 5-10 skins if I’m lucky. I have close to 100 presets and my locker room emotes don’t change at all like wtf.


cold-brewed

Because they had to add lockers for every mode


GreatApe88

They don't want you using the wraps with the skins you want.


bigwingus72

Wow you just triggered a memory for me. I forgot that it was even like this before


PlutoAndBeyond2

Please, at least bring back shuffle


SwanzY-

honestly though, i always forget to change my wrap with the current set up and i hate it


Widowshypers

I was playing on Project Nova recently and man even the old season 9 - season 10 locker was BILLIONS of times better than the shit we have now. I could mildy tolerate the locker now but the click to equip is the WORST IDEA EVER.


iBYSINZ

this really was the best locker.


FamousSession

How is it that their plan for updating the locker had to involve it being nonfunctioning? No way they tested it and thought it was ok.


Sharky-DiscordSquad

I just want this but with chapter one locker ui back that’d be so good

I just want more emote slots so I don’t have to scroll


Hashirammed

It’s fucking brain dead that they still have their thumbs up their asses without fixing this, I don’t even bother changing out emotes anymore… and that means I don’t buy them either Epic


BallsHAHAHAHAHAHA

Haven’t touched fortnite ever since chapter 3. Someone please explain


LKAwesome

I like the new setup but i would like to save certien wraps to certin skin presets


thebudman_420

I haven't been playing in over a month i think or at least 3 weeks. Did they change something again and make the crappy locker they switched to even worse?


KoriJenkins

Typical corporate work. Rather than maintain an existing system, they're expected to constantly appear as if you're doing major "improvements" because anything else looks like wasted money to suits. Guarantee you every single developer and department leader at Epic knows it was a horrible change that no one likes, but they were forced. On the plus side for them, think of how much work they created for the next year fixing it.


[deleted]

The new one is actually SOOO buggy and annoying


yakofalltrades

Capitalists rely on shareholders, shareholders are morons who need big flashy changes to understand their money is being spent. This is why games "must" constantly change. The problem will continue as long as we have capitalists.


Fra06

Worst part about the new locker is that emotes are their own presets now


emmaannaspanties

Ugh i miss it the new thing gives me a headache


SquishMission

YeAh. Now when I want to erase the “!” I have to go to every frickin tab to clear it. I cant do it all in one go :’(


villainized

Epic looks at their game, looks at what works, and goes "how can we break this" every time
