The Star Wars Fortnite season has just dropped its biggest novel skin, but from a distant galaxy – and stunned fans, blocking it for 1.28 million XP Grind.
Darth Jar Jar has become available to buy in the Fortnite store at the weekend, but only after you got the opportunity to do so. And even then, after calculating 1.28 million XP, Darth Jar Jar still costs 1500 V-Bucks (about USD 13).
Fortnite had previously closed the skins with the requirement of XP, but it was done only once in recent years, not with the skin, which was provided as one of the key cosmetic publications of this tiny star season.
A few weeks later, players are less time to get XP needed to get Jara Jar Darth (the Star Wars Fortnite season ends on June 7), and everyone who managed to finish their battle pass already has a fresh part of the level grinding.
“I was very excited about this skin and I was fine when he was a paying wall, it was another skin after all,” wrote one fan RedditIn a long thread devoted to the release of Darth Jara Jara. “But this whole blocked behind the XP wall is funny. Do you want me to earn the law to give you money? I immediately closed the game.”
Another common complaint is the fact that Darth Jar Jar was issued along with the usual skin of Jar Jar Binks, who does not have the XP requirement, but still costs a separate 1500 V-Bucks.
Together with various accessories for Sith and Gungana variants, you can pay 6500 V-Bucks for everything Jar Jar Binks. Which is a lot.
“The usual jars of the jar are $ 20,” another fan wrote. “If you want both of these ** t, $ 52 in the ass for something that should be only 1 leather with 3 styles.”
Meanwhile, others opposed to say that the jar is simply a cosmetic option – and you don’t have to buy it if you don’t want to. Ignore him, and your Fortnite cabinet will be as free of character, like George Lucas wanted to be after hitting Phantom Menace.
“It was not so difficult to earn XP took me about 8/9 hours,” wrote the third fan. “On Saturday I had no plans. I did it at 3 meetings, but everything in one day. I played Rocket Racing, ranking and challenged to play as much XP as possible.
“Nothing means that nobody will get every item in a store that you can simply choose, and the fact that it was only 1500 V-Bucks when Deathstroke had 1800 V-Bucks, which did not bother me at all. At the beginning I was pissed off than I realized that after a few people I had over 300,000 XP.”
The Star Wars Fortnite season lasts this week, focusing on the mandaloria of warriors and the highly expected edition of the new configurable mandaloria leather in the game store.
Battle Royale Epic Games will end his time at the Star Wars galaxy with a live narrative event on June 7 – which, according to fans, they will see how they get into the death star, which is ominously floating over the island of the game from the beginning of the season.
At the beginning of this month, the ongoing feude epic Games from Apple escalated after “blocking” the return to the iPhone application store in the USA.
