Thanks for the hot tip about the combat pro control scheme. Playing on PS4 is much more bearable now.

How dumb was I to pick a Legendary Lead Survivor over a Legendary weapon?

It was likely a good choice, assuming you aren't full of legendary lead survivors.

Should i buy this game? I like the idea but also read a lot of negative stuff about the monetization with loot boxes and whatever. Also read that it's going free to play next year. I can live with paying the lowest price of entry now though instead of waiting 6+ months. Anything i should know?

That but also it's kind of grindy sometimes. I'm still having fun with it though. I also still have a friend code thing if you want it $10 off. Just hit me up in PM.

If you enjoy the core gameplay (which I do) there is very little incentive to pay money and get a bunch of llamas. New gear choices is nice, but ultimately its just inflating your stats so you can access levels where the enemies have similarly inflated stats. It is a tread mill and not a progression, with a few exceptions. Higher difficulty levels does introduce a little more complexity with elements and more mist monsters or objectives to defend, but that is hardly an incentive to spend towards. When you accept this stuff the grind is just a passive thing that happens in the background while you build forts listening to podcasts. The occasional carrots that are compelling are event related, and Fortnitemares was really good about having that stuff accessible as quest rewards, or rewarded frequently enough.

That's a good post. The fun core of the game is mouse trapping different pieces of geography.

There's pretty much always an event running that has rewards tied to it so you can still get stuff. The next patch will most likely start December's event.

They've been pretty good about keeping events running and responding to feedback for the pve part. I mostly just log in to do some daily quests for free vbucks and make use of daily bonus exp while I wait for the winter event since I finished all the Fortnitemares stuff a while ago.

https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/news/v-1-9-1-patch-notes?lang=en-US TL;DR: BR: Smoke Grenades, global leaderboards PvE: Mutant Storms are back, including the tickets. New weapons:  New quests as well, I'm guessing this will stay for 3 weeks, then we get the christmas patch? Don't think they can wait too much longer than December ~15th, otherwise they'd have to hotfix a ton of poo poo during the holidays.

Looks awesome!. So we get mid-events before big events, and these mid-events have new weapons? this is fantastic. I love this game devs, they can do everything (Except finish the game). --- random youtube save the world video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAhumVVaO3w Tei fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Nov 28, 2017 |

Well the new Mutant Storm event has a lot more natural goals that flow with the gameplay. Much better than the Fortnitemares ones.

Stuck on story progression because Build the Radar Grid quests are impossible for me and nobody does those for fun  Even knowing how to do them, the controls seem broken on PS4. I haven't actually built one completely myself.Edit: Finally got it, had to build 2 myself while just about everyone else ran around for 16 minutes not building towers. katkillad2 fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Nov 30, 2017 |

They're random for me. If you get that giant loving wood tower it takes forever. I'm assuming the controller makes it nightmarish to rearrange parts though, there is a lot of fine tuned aiming for reshaping parts. Get a mouse and keyboard for your PS4

The Vindertech Disintegrator (shotgun) seems very bad. It's a very small AoE, you hit 2-3 Husks in most cases and I guess sometimes 5, but mostly just 1-2. Meanwhile it only has a base magazine size of 15. Which, I poo poo you not, reloads like a shotgun, cell by cell. Meanwhile every shot you take takes 3 ammo, so you have to reload 3 cells for every loving shot. Crafted a Copper one to test it and instantly recycled it. I suggest taking the AR from the quest reward. The AR seems a very decent Deathray alternative now that I look at it, it's semi-automatic which I hate, but at least it's burst fire and it stays fairly accurate even when spamming. Deals like 33% more damage per shot compared with the Deathray, has a slightly faster reload time (2.1 vs 2.3 of the Deathray). Much smaller magazine size though, 18 vs 40. I'd argue the only downside of Deathrays are its bacon use, so dealing a 33% higher base damage per shot might be worth it. Edit: And it has nearly 3 times the impact per shot. Edit2: Or is everything (including damage) calculated on an entire burst of fire? Nah that can't be right, that'd make burst-fire trash all the time.

The game client has had a lot more hesitation and lag the last day or so. Looking at the All Heroes page locks it up for a couple of seconds. When someone connects to a game I'm in there's a lot of stuttering. About four times tonight when I've tried to join a map it gets stuck entering the lobby for several minutes before I give up and hit back or close the client. This one seems to be more server side. I'm not sure what's going on but I hope it means the game's getting popular and not that they did a bad job coding. The Vindertech stuff is kind of neat but some of the weapons are more interesting than useful (like the aforementioned plasma gun thing that does a tiny AOE when it hits). Having more options for energy cell weapons is cool, though. I always use a bolt action sniper, but cycle my other guns around since I tend to max out on the ammo on the ones I'm not using.

Having more options for energy cell weapons is cool, though. I always use a bolt action sniper, but cycle my other guns around since I tend to max out on the ammo on the ones I'm not using. Yeah they've admitted that it's something on their side (most likely coding). As for Energy Cell weapons: imo bacon should be removed from the ammo cost, increase the batteries cost if necessary. As long as bacon is required I'll never come even close to being able to permanently use Deathrays. I used to use it only on water Husks and I'd still barely increase my Bacon stockpile, even though I used it for less than 10% of my kills on average. Now I'm not really bacon hunting, but it's not like I skip a toilet either if I'm close. Edit: The patch did fix my random small 0.1 sec stutters that I got every 5 minutes though. It changed into 0.3 sec stutters every minute on the day after the patch, but it's entirely flawless again now. Except for the things you mentioned, but at least there's no lag anymore (for me anyway) once you're settled with a full party in a game.

Maybe is a serverside problem? Fortnite PvE client is strongly tied with the server. So much that every menu need an answer from the server to even open up. Probably Fortnite is growing faster than their ability to allocate more servers. Or theres a piece of the system that don't really scale up that much. I don't have any lag (Europe area).

AceClown posted:has anyone found a smoke grenade yet? No, but I've seen them used on stream. Comes in a stack of 5, but they don't last too long. I think it was either Summit or Ninja who used it to cover CDNthe3rd when he was downed which was pretty cool. Also saw I think Grimmmz use it to cover a retreat. As an aside, there was a blog post that detailed a lot about the future of BR that lists a lot of really hype af stuff. Pro click: https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/news/state-of-development-v3 My favorite bit, aside from custom games, is they confirmed you can eventually earn cosmetics and other loot by just playing BR. No PvE for meee!!!!! Can't wait.

Ugh, why do I fall for it in every game eventually.  I always stay strong when it comes to burst weapons, but I fell for it with the Vindertech one, and jesus christ why isn't just every AR fully automatic. It's fine to use in some shooters (like PUBG/BR), but not when you have to click twice per second while staying perfectly on the head, 7 minutes straight in a defense. gently caress that. It would've been okay if it did like 25-30% more damage than a fully automatic one, but the DPS is poo poo as well, since there's a 0.2 sec pause between bursts for some reason.

And the legendary ones usually have special names. You have a purple shotty, I have a legendary one. As for the AR, after giving it another chance: it's very strong against Husky Husks, so in the end it still replaced my Deathray luckily. Luckily because I dropped enough poo poo into it to get it to level 40.
