Hey u/Freighttrainusa, would you mind verifying that this isn’t a bug? The glow stays around her head after taking the helmet off, this doesn’t seem right to me. Additionally, I’d love it if both the back bling and character would have an edit style without the glowing energy coming out of them. Is that something that can be done? I love the design on both cosmetics so much, but IMO the glow sort of prevents me from enjoying them.

I can check

I swear the Discord Creative mentioned Performance as the reason...

Actually, I misspoke and apologize for that, in the discord post I made said:

In keeping with spring cleaning, we’re doing a little housekeeping. With the 16.20 update, we’ll be removing the B.R.U.T.E. to improve stability. We’re also removing the Item Spawner Plate, Player Spawner Plate, and Player Checkpoint Plate from the Device Gallery. The Spawn Plates for some older vehicles will also be removed from the Device Gallery and will no longer spawn their vehicles while we convert them to work with the new physics system. We’ll keep you updated as those items work their way back in. Spoiler: The Baller & Driftboard are already done.

So to clear up my previous comment, I was looking at the update notes vs the discord post. ...

Or I will do it myself

(Also stop using "performance" as an excuse to remove stuff, the Brute was fine, we know it's because people were using it to get out of the map, quit lying to us)

Edit: I'm big stupid

We never mentioned that performance was the reason for removing the B.R.U.T.E. We updated to a new vehicle physics system. This system is complex and the B.R.U.T.E happened to be a device that needed to be removed due to this change.

u/freighttrainusa both Easter skins released today have some serious issues. The Qwick-Qwack back bling has its feet inverted somehow and the Mecha-Feathers back bling is just a mess altogether. The wings just drop down and hang there, instead of pointing outwards. See both links for video evidence

This is known and being tracked by the team for a fix in a future release.

Do you need a feature role to see it?

Creator or featured. The discord bot is down for roles, if you need creator role you can ask me or an ambassador in discord for the role.

So that means they will never add LTE option again right?

Downloading from LTE will return in a future update, to set expectations its likely not to happen in v16.20 but potentially around v16.30.

I made some comments on some post but issues in the front end with cosmetics are being looked at by the folks who made the changes to check on any issues.

Once I get some confirmation on what QA and the team found its likely ill get a trello card/tweet out about any issues found.

u/Freighttrainusa while this is fantastic news, and I’m really happy with the improvements, does this mean that we can expect some news considering physics soon? It’s been so long, and things really need to be fixed. People have invested thousands of dollars into their cosmetics and some are pretty much unusable. Love the update, it’s really really awesome you guys keep finding ways to improve our experience! Please extend my sincerest thanks to everyone responsible

The folks working on physics are a totally different team, this was more on the dev/engineering side to make this happen. I wanted to try to include something about cosmetics into this blog, but really couldnt find the spot.

The art/physics team working on that side is still working on bringing the switch into parity with other platforms when it comes to skins. This update should/could help things down the line when it comes to cosmetic stuff.

With the v16.10 release, we’re releasing an update to enhance our player experience for the Nintendo Switch. Specifically, we’re upgrading the renderer on the Nintendo Switch to make better use of the console’s GPU.

Check out the blog for more information

Hey players and creators!

Beginning at 1:30 pm ET (about 15 minutes from now) We will be frequently changing the Up & Coming portal to include some beta features like 50 player matchmaking!

Jump into these maps in the Up & Coming portal throughout the rest of the day and help raise awareness of any issues with 50 player matchmaking.

Thanks for jumping in everyone!
