There’s something brewing among Fortnite fans, a mixture of nostalgia and yearning, for the vibrancy that once graced the ‘vaulted a year or more’ tabs in the Item Shop.

Summary

  • Plethora of players reminisce the diversity of past offerings, comparing it with the current lackluster display in the Item Shop.
  • Several gamers voiced their desire for increased variety, pushing for the return of items quite literally vaulted in the past.
  • Through humor and sarcasm, the community calls out Fortnite for possibly using ‘Cars and the Weekend’ as a distraction.

The Real Feelings beneath the Fond Rememberings

Players not only yearn for the past, but also express dismay at Fortnite’s perceived disregard for the user feedback. SomeWeirdFreak‘s comment forms a light-hearted jab at the developers although it palpitates with underlying discontent about the Item Shop’s monotonous inventory.

First Impressions and the Shop Sameness

‘Cars and the Weekend’ use as distraction? This is a theory that Organic-Horror-4607 humorously put forth. New players like ScoobyVoodoo94 who also agree, highlight how the seeming variety famine hinders the fun part of the gameplay.

Hopes & Possibilities

While some fans like PS2EmotionEngineer maintain a pragmatic stance indicating the lack of demand as a potential reason behind the vaulting, KawaiiKaiju55 keeps the hope alive by expressing a simple yet profound desire – ‘I really want sprinkler.’

The overall sentiments suggest a longing for the pomp and pageantry of the old Item Shop and reflects upon the need for developers to generate renewed vibrancy in the in-game market. Perhaps, it’s time to unlock the vaults and sprinkle some of the old magic back into Fortnite.
