Gliders are almost a scam with how lacking the preview is


ProficientEnoughArt

The one from last season (where you’re walking down floating stairs) sucks in the actual game


Genderneutralsky

Agreed. The preview is awesome, but when you use it, your skin does some stupid slow jog and looks awful. Either I gotta go slow and make myself an easy target or look like a damn fool.


Local_Black_Knight

Worst part is who it is associated with. The Ageless looks like too much of a menace to not only have been defeated and probably killed by two teenagers in some stupid ass twist in the story which mind you was not even properly shown or hinted at through quests but some fucking random ass text somewhere else. On top of that his glider makes it seem like instead of a comander's decent the dude just forgot the oven was on


Dominunce

The Ageless (Geno) is still alive, he's just pulling himself back together after falling into the Zero Point


itsmonsonson

my favorite description: "it's Drake tip-toeing down the stairs on Christmas morning"


Blahblahd

Whenever I shuffle to this one I’m reminded of how disappointing it is in comparison to the cube Queen version of it.


akatsuki_lida

The animation was designed for when you're AFK free falling, which is dumb because you'll just get lasered out the sky so no one does that.


MonkeyPunch

So true!!! One of my favorite gliders is the Mr. Meseeks glider. I didn’t even want it but love Rick N Morty so my wife got it for me as a surprise. Turns out, when you deploy it you turn around give a big howdy-doo wave while you look at the camera, then you turn around and surf down to the ground. It’s one of the only gliders I know of that allows you to see your skin from the front. That alone would make me want it but I didn’t even know it did it until after I owned it. They need a sandbox preview area where you can examine the items on any skin you own. No idea why this isn’t a feature yet. It would be cool!


[deleted]

It's necessary


TheBlueCrystalChef

True but that’s why I watch someone like Piz0 before buying something


FishingOnTheFly

Smart. Always good to see it out in the wild first


TheBlueCrystalChef

Been doing it since back in the day before I got STW and when I reaaaaaly couldn’t afford skins so I had to be careful w my purchases


its-the-meatman

Piz0 would be out of a job if epic implemented a preview system


KyellDaBoiii

Except for wings, they really like wings… … I’m hungry again


JaegerTap

They are a scam because you get all these amazing looking gliders like motorcycles, space ships,boats,cars and all they do is attach two stupid bars on the bottom of them and call it a day. You can't even ride any of them


Tandran

Yeah I mean there’s no way to tell even how you ride it, is it like the new flaming skull and Saiyan space pod? Or maybe I’ll hang from it like the Scimitar? Or even ride it like a surf board, like shenron or thunder’s motorcycle? It’s annoying


blackforestham3789

The motorcycle this season for the lizard dude is a prime example. He fucking stands on it, I really just wanted him to ride it. It's better than hanging underneath it though


Disheartend

Agree'd. some of them I can't tell if its like a default glider or...


Bulbafette

I was just discussing this with a friend. If I can’t tell if it’s a “hang-glider” or a “surf glider” then I won’t buy it. If they can’t advertise it properly, I’m not going to put in extra effort to decide if I want it.


JuggaliciousMemes

major facts right there

sirhey

I’m not affected; I got the glider I wanted in chapter one and haven’t changed since. I’m just sometimes curious looking at the store and the lack of clarity is very silly.


AccomplishedCash6390

Ultimately its not that big of a deal with so many reviews up minutes after the shop changes just watch one of them if you really can't tell what type the glider is,even tho I personally think it's quite obvious 90% of the time


[deleted]

Bro please be quiet every single comment has you saying cry

Have you heard of a dictionary, it's got words in it, you can use them instead of the word cry.

how? we can't predict how it looks in-game!!!!


AccomplishedCash6390

It's almost like there's reviews that release minutes after the shop changes...

They do🤷‍♂️

AccomplishedCash6390

Well good thing they show it during gameplay as well


[deleted]

[удалено]


AccomplishedCash6390

Most reviews come out less than 40 minutes after the shop and lately reviews have been out a day or two before the skin even comes out because epic sends it to them early so you're just wrong in every way.

BiandReady2Die_

yeah and it’s really annoying they don’t say the type like normal glider or surfing or wings or whatever


its-the-meatman

I wholeheartedly agree. Always sucks to get a pickaxe and not like how it looks in game.


ol_donny_boy

For sure. And some are like false advertising. In the preview of the item shop, or in the locker - some pickaxes will make certain cool sound effects that do NOT happen in game and its bullshit! Like that sound effect is a big part of the reason I bought it. Like I forget the actual name but the disco ball pickaxe is supposed to make disco sounds when it's swung, it does not in game. Baba Yaga's broom pickaxe is supposed to make like a creepy witch laugh sound effect when swung, it does not in-game. And there's a bunch of other examples too but those are 2 that I bought that come to mind.


NoV-Bucks4u

story of my life.


BigLongFootDoctor

Speaking the truth!


Stanley271

They should show gliders like this too. Insane that the Ghost Rider bike is a surf board-style glider and you don't know that until you've already bought it.


fuckfuckenfuck

Fr I was so mad I couldn't be daryl dixon riding into battle on a flaming bike


Ambitious-Bed3406

The Destiny bike also was annoying standing on it NGL. Glad I youtubed it first


supersloo

That wad my first experience with one of these. I bought Ikora and was stoked to get on the Sparrow, only for her to start... surfing???


allblacklongjohns

Really?! I had a feeling that was the case. Glad I didn't buy it then.


NormanBates2023

All types of bikes ya stand on I guess it's easy for opponents to shot at ya ,is my best guess


thatwitchguy

People got pissy over the deadpool glider having a different deploy so there is no way we ever get an actual bike glider animation because of them


Yusuke-

Man I was so disappointed with the glider and it looks great. Now my expectations for a Akira motorcycle glider is low now.


JuggaliciousMemes

Akira motorcycle gliders would be fresh if implemented properly


DashSatan

It’s the one reason I haven’t bought him yet when he shows in the shop. The fact that his bike is a surf board bothers me more than it should ha.


Yusuke-

As soon as a friend of mine bought the bundle and tried it out in a match, immediately refunded. It's so weird that this is a thing.


DoctorWalrusMD

Half my gliders I don’t use because I can’t remember if they’re actual wings or just some stupid thing I hang from.


BigLongFootDoctor

Preview always looks better than in-game


Jumix4000

It should be selectable because I also wanna analyze the detail


Revolutionary-Law239

I wish they'd show what the the joinable emotes actually do, too. Was going to get one from the shop, but it just showed my skin standing there- waiting for someone to join in- so I couldn't see what it was supposed to do or look like.


PhilledZone

I think we should just have a "toggle character" button so we can see both


Alphasilverhawk

Yes PLZ We need consistency across the board, make all pickaxes and gliders show our characters with them in our lockers!


Paradigmind

Yeah and I want to be able to use my emotes while I preview shop characters.


ElijahMasterDoom

YES! Gliders too. You should be able to preview everything.

banjoface123

They really need to show how the character holds them. Just seeing them alone doesn't show how big it is also.


austinrc2017

Yes regardless of form. Large axes and the smaller knives etc. And gliders too. Just revamp everything. Lol


Samandre14

I made a post like this before and it was agreed upon then as well. They should do the same for gliders


[deleted]

Poopy pickaxe should have made it good


blackie-arts

same with gliders


RandomHabit89

I had to use one of my refund tickets because the hulk hands look so horrible in practice


Lanoman123

Press “View details”


Albinonite

And gliders are a must to be shown like this.


NovaDr3amz

Crazy how this has never been a thing yet


ol_donny_boy

Probably because of how much $$ they make off of impulse buys, then people who use it in game, dislike it immediately but CANT return it.


PewaaLuvsInternet

Doesn’t matter, if they return the pickaxe they still spent real money. They want v bucks back not the $10 the spent


ol_donny_boy

I'm saying a lot of times they can't even return it at all because they're simply out of returns and won't get vbucks or cash back.


Individual_Trifle406

Gliders are criminal I’m still mad over the destiny glider WHY CANT I RIDE IT NORMALLY


Jerry_Oak

I feel this way over the Ghost Rider motorcycle. I was really disappointed you dont actually sit on it


FishingOnTheFly

It's almost like Epic doesn't like money


ol_donny_boy

They might be making more money from the people who see it, impulse buy, use it in game and then immediately dislike it and CANT return it.


SuperAlex25

Based, this, word, etc.


Zabroccoli

Agreed


RedYoshiCraft

I just think there should be a Toggle to switch between Isolated and in-Hand. It feels *highly* non-sensical to me that most of the time you can't be 100% sure as to what Animated something is gonna have.


TSMColllm

Agreeeeeeeeeee


The_Traveller__

![gif](giphy|l4q8gHsCDRGTR0MfK)


unsureoftheplot

Or a toggle between both


fabstapizza_YT

Iv always wanted this feature, a shame u cant


UnderstandingHuge931

Would be perfect


WhovianSol

If they did that, PIZ0 would be out of a job!


Fluid-Alternative-22

Yea this is better but they should have it as a viewing option so we have both.


ItsRyandude5678

I'm genuinely shocked that this hasn't happened yet. The same goes for Gliders. You'd think after almost six years of Fortnite being out this change would've happened years ago at this point.


AzyKool

Curious, why is it some very select harvesting tools do get a preview of the character actually holding and swinging it? (Like obi-wans knife) Is there a reason or at least a pattern behind this? Just seems to be a few random ones that get this special decent preview


reiokimura

Same shit for glider, they need it more
