Here’s Why Fortnite Sucks This Season

Here’s Why Fortnite Sucks This Season https://ift.tt/0m7AdPO There's way too much going on in Fortnite's core Battle Royale mode in Chapter 7 Season 4. With sprites giving everybody a bonus ability, and Overrides fundamentally changing the way the game works in the middle of matches, we've got kind of a large pile of gimmicks that show up in matches at random, if they show up at all. It's made for a disorienting and inconsistent experience that's difficult to strategize for, because there's no real status quo to get used to. It's a big mess, and it seems to be affecting player numbers in a big way, both for the core Battle Royale mode and Fortnite as a whole. The thing about battle royale as a genre is that it's already, by its nature, varied enough from match to match. Loot is random, and the other players are random, and so there's always plenty of variety even if you drop in the same spot every single time. This has been one of the key sellin...

Harry Potter Quidditch Champions: Season 1 Battle Pass - All Skins And Rewards

Harry Potter Quidditch Champions: Season 1 Battle Pass - All Skins And Rewards https://ift.tt/umgxN3V


We're now three decades deep into our Harry Potter era, and Quidditch Champions is just the second Quidditch-related video game ever--and the first to really give the fictional sport an authentic sports video game treatment a la NBA 2K or EA Sports FC. The struggle to adapt the game is understandable--the rules of Quidditch in the books are pretty bizarre and unbalanced, and so making the necessary fixes while still maintaining the feel of Quidditch as we know it had to have been a tall task.

Now, Quidditch Champions has launched with a rather mild $30 price tag, and since it's a modern online multiplayer live-service game, it has a free battle pass that will allow you to unlock new cosmetics like brooms, wands, emotes, various accessories, and a Ron Weasley player skin. Leveling is simple: Just play the game, and complete your daily and weekly challenges for XP.

On top of all that fun stuff, you'll get three different currencies from the pass that can be used to unlock more cosmetics and broom upgrades. The pass is 50 tiers long, and along the way, you'll earn 100 Winged Keys, 200 Moonstones, and 500 Gold. The Winged Keys are for purchasing cosmetics from the Vault, Gold is for purchasing cosmetics from the Market--it's not clear why these are separate shops--and Moonstoones are for broom upgrades. You'll earn additional Winged Keys by leveling the season pass beyond 50, and you'll earn Gold and Moonstones by increasing your career level.

Fortunately, despite all that, Quidditch Champions currently lacks microtransactions--the only way to buy currency is to upgrade to the deluxe edition, which includes 2000 gold. But you can only do that once. Everything else can only be earned by playing.

To get a glimpse at all the cosmetics and other rewards you can earn from the first season pass for Quidditch Champions has to offer, keep scrolling.
