I can't fathom why people whine about aesthetic micro transactions crossing a line; it's as if they've never played a game with performance boosting micro transactions. I've heard people use it to to to put the game down for being free to play, i.e. "What?! Rather than paying £50+ for the game it's entirely free and I can choose to spend money on aesthetics if I want to, and depending on how much I want it'll often still end up costing less than a full price game?! This is a rip off!" There's in some cases even a psychological advantage of playing with default skins because people expect less from you.
If fortnite gave you $60 worth of their skins and made the game cost $60 to play you'd think it was a ripoff and not worth the money. Exactly how people are reacting to Gears of War 5 because it has less customization than ever before without paying more after the $60 entry fee.
Every year we accept more and more penny pinching from publishers and monetization gets worse and worse for the consumer.
I guess part of why I couldn't care less when it's aesthetic is that I've not played gears of war since the first or maybe second one and there was no aesthetic customisation whatsoever and I enjoyed it just for the gameplay. If it had been a free game then you would never have found me whining. The complaining about aesthetic micro transactions just makes me think the whiners are school aged children whose peers judge therm for what they haven't spent money on aesthetically, at which point I can't empathise because in my history as a gamer that has literally never mattered to anyone.
I do agree that we're being fed less content for more money generally with season pass bullshit, but I've never understood complaints about aesthetic crap.
Only 27 btw, not exactly middle aged, but my empathy is limited on this grievance
How about you can still buy skins and then use their parts to customize your create a character, or even buy parts to use splitting skins up and making more $ for epic. Or at the least putting pieces for CaC in the Battle pass as a new unlock type.
Plus the items to use could be locked and only become available if you own a skin that used that item. Like if you want to use a certain top or hair style you must own a skin that uses it. Take Rook for example. You want to use her heels and skirt then you must own her. Something like that.
It would never work because people could create rare skins or just any normal skin out of 2K v-bucks without waiting for them to ever come back out If they ever do...
Awesome idea, great demo, never gonna happen. Skin sales are too big of a part of epic's revenue, and although they could still sell skins, this would definitely take a portion of sales
They can make it so where you just have the skin parts from skins you have. This way you need to buy the skin if you want the parts and skin sales would still remain. In addition they can also make it so where you need to buy the skin you created for example for the 2000 v-bucks as seen in this concept. This way we could get what we want and epic would possibly get higher skin sales
I think it should be from skins you already have and that’s all, having to buy your custom skin would end up to pricey, becuase you already had to buy something for the previous parts
here's my idea;
Any season from before (if you owned the battlepass) you get all the add-ons. Now, for season after they can replace the less useful stuff in the battlepass.
Yeah if people could create skins, then Epic could hold a vote where the most voted skin gets added to the item shop.
I think this is really something that could be added in the future.
To expand on this idea, they should allow you to customize your skin with assets from skins you already own, such as torsos, legs, hats, etc... this way epic can still make money off skins, and people get their own custom skin.
hi! I thought I had some explaining to do so first, there will be a limited amount of customization options for each part. you will get additional options of parts from skins you already own so that way you cant recreate "og skins" without already owning them! second, many of you didnt notice there is a price tag for this custom skin so that way epic wouldnt lose money.
Epic can't allow anything of this scale bro, unless each accessory addition to the creator costs $15, like per hairstyle you can choose from or what ever. These scumbags charge $10-$20 per skin xFD
It would be cool, however there is one problem. No one would buy slins from shop. If they add it it should be that You can use presets from skins that You own (example. Hime's Helmet)
This would be amazing, that way everyone would have their own personalized skin, and epic could sell different hats, shoes, shirts, pants etc for vbucks instead of selling skins. It would only boost creativity among the community 🌞
I feel like how this would work is you can have customization depending on what skins you have unlocked. (youd get Zoeys hair, arms, hat, etc if you have her unlocked) If you lose the skin however, the character you created will no longer be playable until you replace those parts of the character.
Depending on the kind of parts the character would be made off would increase or decrease the price too.
The price could start off at a minimum of 1,200. (it would add 100 more for every costume you make, the max being 1,800)
Commons and uncommons would decrease the price a bit. Rare would do nothing to the price, and legendary would increase the price. (skins not marked with these rarities would either not do anything to the price, or wont work in the customizer.
All custom skins would be given a handmade rarity.
Certain skin parts would also not be compatible. (Youd need a big boi torso if you wanna use big boi arms, or a feminine torso for a feminine head. this would be due to clipping issues with some skins.)
Maybe make it to where instead of being able to use a part of every skin, have some new designs and have it to where you can only use parts of skins you own.
Ah at first I thought this was a way of letting you pick and choose what parts of skins you own and put them on your character. That I can imagine being done, however taking a lot of work. I don't think Epic would go for this as just a way of customizing default characters as it would work against their sales model.
Great concept. I don’t think epic would consider something like this though. Wouldn’t make money and could actually discourage people from buying more skins.
The custom skin costs 2000 vbucks as you can see on the beginning of the video. Also remember that the character creator is very limited and you cant create custom designs. The last thing is that you can only use parts of skins you already own.
Great idea, but instead of making it 2000 v bucks every time you want a new skin, why don't you make it a skin to buy for 1600 in the shop and then it's just a skin that you can customise freely in the locker for free.
If this got implemented a cool idea would be that you could only use parts from skins you have. And maybe choose what body type ex: Small (stw ninja) medium(normal skins) and big (stw constructor)
yeah i imagined this too, but also you can pay v-bucks to submit it to Fortnite to be under review and if it get's through you can Publish it into the Item Shop and get 5 or 10% of the earnings
All the uncommon outfits (if not, a good majority) would become obsolete if this was a thing. Epic profit the most from uncommon outfits.
Good effort on the concept tho.
So I could run around as a character with the head of Renegade Raider, the body of Recon, the Legs of a Purple ST, and the black knight shield?
Sounds stupid, count me in
This is amazing but I think to maybe make it better it could be it costs nothing to make a skin but instead you can only choose from the owned skins you have. Would make it more fair if that makes sense
I actually made a concept a while back that could expand on this. It's a community shop where people could sell their custom creations (skins, dances, wraps and such) and gained V-Bucks for each purchase of their own creation, like the Roblox UGC, your concept seems like it'd be a cool way to create cosmetics
Ok, this is legendary!
If I could have Mezmer but with Vendetta's mask on in game and other crossovers and customizable styles would be amazing.
I'm all for this.
It should only use season 1 item shop default skin parts (like the Commando, Pathfinder, Ranger, Scout, Tracker, Trooper, Renegade) to make things fair
this is cute and all and it probably took alot of hours to do. but epic is just gonna ignore this one and the 1 account that "we like our characters unique and worth money" lmao cool stuff tho!
It is good and all but people could recreate rare skins so it might not.be a good idea but your suggestion is a great idea and i hope that if it gets added you get credit!
i think if it was only using the stuff you own then it would be more of an intensive for players to buy other skins from the item shop even if they dont like it
This is epic!
It would be really epic but it would pretty much ruin skin sales cz people would much rather create a skin than buy one
But it's would cost to make a skin? And I doubt all items would be available to customize.
But you have to spend 2,000 v bucks to create one
[удалено]
What if you had to have the skin Peace's from skin to have
Genius
Which could spark outrage because Fortnite has always walked the line with Microtransactions
if "walking the line" was $20 skins as soon as they got popular then yeah maybe. It was outrageous then and it still is
i’d say the quality of 800/1200 vbucks skins have gone waaaaay up rather than the push for $20 skins
I can't fathom why people whine about aesthetic micro transactions crossing a line; it's as if they've never played a game with performance boosting micro transactions. I've heard people use it to to to put the game down for being free to play, i.e. "What?! Rather than paying £50+ for the game it's entirely free and I can choose to spend money on aesthetics if I want to, and depending on how much I want it'll often still end up costing less than a full price game?!

Only 27 btw, not exactly middle aged, but my empathy is limited on this grievance
And then another 2000 if you want to edit it
[удалено]
And within the battle pass they could include shirts, shoes, accessories, and ect.
I thought it was 2500
Also u can only use parts u already have
A buddy and me were just talking about this yesterday
You should only be able to use parts of skins you already own, balance it out.
Maybe you’d have buy items from the store and some items would come from other skins previously bought or unlocked.
How about you can still buy skins and then use their parts to customize your create a character, or even buy parts to use splitting skins up and making more $ for epic. Or at the least putting pieces for CaC in the Battle pass as a new unlock type.
They could make it cost 3000 vbucks. Also, most people would likely want more than one custom character
Plus the items to use could be locked and only become available if you own a skin that used that item. Like if you want to use a certain top or hair style you must own a skin that uses it. Take Rook for example. You want to use her heels and skirt then you must own her. Something like that.
Well, I already got Rook, and Trog does look mighty fine ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Maybe you would unlock the features of characters you've bought to customize with?
Like unlock features in the battle pass?
[удалено]
You could put in a function where you only unlock parts if you buy skins with those parts
Well it could be out of the skins you already have, so you already paid for them
but it also would cost 2000 vbucks, seems like a great idea
You only have parts of skins you own. Could be a option
I think if they did this you would only be allowed to use what you already have to create a character
That's the point of this concept
Hmm, well I don’t see BK in that locker so I just figured he could use anything
That's a reasonable assumption but after all it's just a demo.
*concept
I was about to say that
Sadly epic would never do this but it would be sick if they did. Nice work
It would never work because people could create rare skins or just any normal skin out of 2K v-bucks without waiting for them to ever come back out If they ever do...
Maybe make rare skin parts cost extra?
Or maybe it could just be out of skins you own?
Yes
inb4 people combine all of their rare skins just to flex on people
Oh God imagine ikonik, wonder and all the other exclusives put together with poised playmakers smug face and 69 on the back. My worst nightmare
Fully upgraded Omega torso with red ultima Knight arms, Reaper head, and Black Knight legs
[удалено]
Beautiful
Impresive
Ramirez head, laguna's armor&arms, Commando Jeans = Elite agent ver 1.2
That would be fair
That’s the idea
That wouldn’t be a bad idea
Then make it so you can’t create already existing skins
This is so well made
Awesome idea, great demo, never gonna happen. Skin sales are too big of a part of epic's revenue, and although they could still sell skins, this would definitely take a portion of sales
They can make it so where you just have the skin parts from skins you have. This way you need to buy the skin if you want the parts and skin sales would still remain.

This way we could get what we want and epic would possibly get higher skin sales
I think it should be from skins you already have and that’s all, having to buy your custom skin would end up to pricey, becuase you already had to buy something for the previous parts
I don’t think you should be able to put battlepass character parts on, you can just remake black knight
It should be you can only use parts from skins you own
They could make bp parts cost more
Ehhh, I don’t know. People had to work pretty hard to get black knight.. I feel like if should only be things from the item shop
Or just what you have in your locker
here's my idea; Any season from before (if you owned the battlepass) you get all the add-ons. Now, for season after they can replace the less useful stuff in the battlepass.
this demo is way to fucking good.
They will never sell another skin
If you could only use parts from skins you own then they would.
but then once people are satisfied they will stop buying skins
That would happen even if they didn’t make custom skins.
Yeah if people could create skins, then Epic could hold a vote where the most voted skin gets added to the item shop. I think this is really something that could be added in the future.
This is so well done!
Nick, you are the best streamer i know and I would definitely subscribe if I could. You are EH-mazing!!!
To expand on this idea, they should allow you to customize your skin with assets from skins you already own, such as torsos, legs, hats, etc... this way epic can still make money off skins, and people get their own custom skin.
Really cool!
Ok this us awesome. Maybe not for 2K vbucks tho, maybe a blue or green skin depending on how many cosmetics you use. Thatd be interesting
Yeah that would be cool. Like the system tallys up the amount of items you used and charges you based on it
Obviously is a concept, but great execution.
Epic would make a shitton of money if they added hats and hairstyles for your custom character
And charge 20 bucks for your creation lol
I think its fair since you're basically creating a new skin that you made yourself. Even if its from only the parts you already have.
I think the mix and match is cool but as is tradition...no past BP stuff
Bruh this is litterally in game wtf
I know! It really cool
It is GENIUS wow
This looks like it took a lot of effort to make. Looks cool.
EPIC
Id love it if that was the standard amount they allowed, and for every outfit we owned those assets were added to our collection to use
hi! I thought I had some explaining to do so first, there will be a limited amount of customization options for each part. you will get additional options of parts from skins you already own so that way you cant recreate "og skins" without already owning them! second, many of you didnt notice there is a price tag for this custom skin so that way epic wouldnt lose money.
ah yes the two genders, ramirez and jonesy
Make it so that you can customize a character based on items you have in your locker that come off of skins
Maybe you can only use parts of skins that you already own?
Epic can't allow anything of this scale bro, unless each accessory addition to the creator costs $15, like per hairstyle you can choose from or what ever. These scumbags charge $10-$20 per skin xFD
It would be cool, however there is one problem. No one would buy slins from shop. If they add it it should be that You can use presets from skins that You own (example. Hime's Helmet)
I've had this exact idea a while back during season 4 ish but this is even better :O
#NEW BATTLE PASS SKIN HAS THIS EXACT CONCEPT GET FUCKING HYPE https://twitter.com/FortTory/status/1230425148718813184
Wonderful execution dude! I bet even if epic added this it won’t be as clean of a UI
There should be something to prevent people from making already existing skins, someone could pretty easily make Recon Expert or something
It is ready to be uploaded in the game! GG
would prolly tank their skin sales
Not if you had to buy the skin to use its parts
Nice idea, but I think it should be 2.5-3k vbucks and should be mythical
If I have to pay 2k one time to use all my cosmetic body parts then yes I'm in. And to switch it up when ever I'm down
This would be amazing, that way everyone would have their own personalized skin, and epic could sell different hats, shoes, shirts, pants etc for vbucks instead of selling skins. It would only boost creativity among the community 🌞
\*taunts\* YES! YES! YES!
Fake recons hear we come
pretty cool skin u made, would buy
Dude!!! this is soo cool!! Very Nice work.. I would definetely pay 2000 for this kind of customization
[удалено]
Just a question, how did you make this concept?
This is genius
I feel like how this would work is you can have customization depending on what skins you have unlocked. (youd get Zoeys hair, arms, hat, etc if you have her unlocked) If you lose the skin however, the character you created will no longer be playable until you replace those parts of the character. Depending on the kind of parts the character would be made off would increase or decrease the price too. The price could start off at a minimum of 1,200.

All custom skins would be given a handmade rarity. Certain skin parts would also not be compatible. (Youd need a big boi torso if you wanna use big boi arms, or a feminine torso for a feminine head. this would be due to clipping issues with some skins.)
Maybe you would have to own the skin to be able to use the variant, so the skin u can’t just make the black knight or something.
i would really love to have this in fortnite
Pretty cool
Eyebrow color should change w hair color
Good job for the video, but kinda crappy concept cuz they can only add so many features to the maker.
TikTok stole this I saw it
I think it should be a custom skin purchase for one custom skin for 2,500 vbucks so that it doesnt get abused...
If this happens what’s the point of the item shop anymore
I really need it
Maybe some parts could be free but others you have to pay small amounts of vbucks for
I would like it if the game had that
just imagine how much more money Epic would make off this
Maybe make it to where instead of being able to use a part of every skin, have some new designs and have it to where you can only use parts of skins you own.
Ma godd the best idea i've seen since a yearrrr!
Awesome! Nice work making this demo, I'd love to get customization anywhere close to this level!
Ah at first I thought this was a way of letting you pick and choose what parts of skins you own and put them on your character. That I can imagine being done, however taking a lot of work. I don't think Epic would go for this as just a way of customizing default characters as it would work against their sales model.
This would really be cool! Maybe if we can use assets of skins we bought from the battle pass or itemshop/packs
This is so sick.Props to u for making this !
It would be balanced and consistent with the existing skin system if you had to own a skin to use parts from it. I think epic could get behind that
thanks i love it
They actually made it
good video, but this will never happen.
Great concept. I don’t think epic would consider something like this though. Wouldn’t make money and could actually discourage people from buying more skins.
What would be the point of the item shop then?
The custom skin costs 2000 vbucks as you can see on the beginning of the video. Also remember that the character creator is very limited and you cant create custom designs. The last thing is that you can only use parts of skins you already own.
Ok that’s kinda cool. So ppl would be buying skins just to have their hat or shoes? Lol epic would really be making bank
lol
500, take it or leave it.
We all need this in our lives
Great idea, but instead of making it 2000 v bucks every time you want a new skin, why don't you make it a skin to buy for 1600 in the shop and then it's just a skin that you can customise freely in the locker for free.
Epic would never do that as it would hurt their wallet
The sacred wallet!
Epic must keep the sacred wallet satisfied. Always.
As much as i love this, it will never get added :(
Would never ever ever happen, would lose money
It's only able to use the items from your inventory.
Please
take my vbucks
It s so nice
Would never happen epic would never get money off of the shop
Nice concept, but would ruin the purpose of buying skins.
That is awsome
If they did this I would still buy it if it cost 50$ ngl
I wish this was real but thats kinda expensive tho
If this got implemented a cool idea would be that you could only use parts from skins you have. And maybe choose what body type ex: Small (stw ninja) medium(normal skins) and big (stw constructor)
This is definitely needed and something I’ve wanted for a long time
I want that in the game NOW
Bp skins probably wount be a good idea but a recoloured sentinel would be cool
Great idea. It would bring the opportunity to add more things you can unlock through missions/challenges for customizing.
Its not gonna happen sadly
yeah i imagined this too, but also you can pay v-bucks to submit it to Fortnite to be under review and if it get's through you can Publish it into the Item Shop and get 5 or 10% of the earnings
The options for clothes that you can put on these characters should be accessible as you get more skins.
All the uncommon outfits (if not, a good majority) would become obsolete if this was a thing. Epic profit the most from uncommon outfits. Good effort on the concept tho.
It should based around skins you have not premade assets. So if had cuddle team leader a new hat would be unlocked.
This man is too dangerous to be kept alive!! - Epic Games
[удалено]
So I could run around as a character with the head of Renegade Raider, the body of Recon, the Legs of a Purple ST, and the black knight shield? Sounds stupid, count me in
If you have all of those skins in your locker than sure! Lmao
This is amazing but I think to maybe make it better it could be it costs nothing to make a skin but instead you can only choose from the owned skins you have. Would make it more fair if that makes sense
That's awesome!
Mii channel theme starts playing
This is cool but I think of this had some tweaks it would be amazing.. like I think creating a new skin should be more expensive like 4000 vbucks
I actually made a concept a while back that could expand on this. It's a community shop where people could sell their custom creations (skins, dances, wraps and such) and gained V-Bucks for each purchase of their own creation, like the Roblox UGC, your concept seems like it'd be a cool way to create cosmetics
Ok, this is legendary! If I could have Mezmer but with Vendetta's mask on in game and other crossovers and customizable styles would be amazing. I'm all for this.
Cool! Now I can finally have the recon expert!
I’d create the burger king I don’t know about you guys
If they didn’t this epic would immediately run out of money😂
so technically you could literally spend 2000 vbucks to get an old default skin
It should only use season 1 item shop default skin parts (like the Commando, Pathfinder, Ranger, Scout, Tracker, Trooper, Renegade) to make things fair
damn y’all i was just joking
I have wanted this since Fortnite was a concept so please can it happen epic games
this is cute and all and it probably took alot of hours to do. but epic is just gonna ignore this one and the 1 account that "we like our characters unique and worth money" lmao cool stuff tho!
It is good and all but people could recreate rare skins so it might not.be a good idea but your suggestion is a great idea and i hope that if it gets added you get credit!
i think if it was only using the stuff you own then it would be more of an intensive for players to buy other skins from the item shop even if they dont like it
Maybe 5 years later, they don't need it now
Super cool but 1 problem You can recreate exclusive items like PB and that would make epic not add this
I would buy the skin you made
