Some weird server issues today. Had a straight up freeze in place that seemed to hit everyone else for well over a minute, I could still go into build mode and swap materials and edit but nothing would place and I couldn't move or switch weapons. Threw me off when it came back.
Outside of stuff like that the new season seems pretty good. No brainer to buy battle passes since you make all the vbucks back though none of the skins are really standing out for me. The idea of the upgradeable costumes is pretty cool though.
Map stuff is neat, but more for the little changes to me. I've noticed a lot of small areas added or changed like the nameless spot near flush factory, one of the buildings is totally different and some kind of dance club now. Moisty Mire is almost completely different with a big movie set being set up and I've been finding tons of loot there, the prison is mostly smashed, mansion near lonely lodge with a bunker, etc.
Dusty Divot seems like an area I can't see people landing at much once the newness wears off. That has gotta be the single worst position on the map to be in, the ridge is way bigger than I expected so you have a huge ground advantage over people inside. I can imagine landing retail to loot and going there to pick people off being pretty common.
Hop rocks are fun but mostly just more fuel for more shotgun fights. Due to being a map consumable they won't have much of an impact either way, but the new area in the top right can lead to some funky fights. Find it hard to keep track of where people are with them with the noise though.
