Super Rad: Feb 15, 2003; Sir Loin of Beef

The iOS and upcoming Android ports have me hoping for a Switch port.

Yeah, it's almost 100% going to come out on that too.

I really wish I could just play it on whatever and have my purchases carry. Switch would likely become my main system, but I have friends who play on all of the rest and it would be great to have everything carry.

iirc the only thing that doesn't carry is your idle vbux

Hello good friend of mine, I hear invites come with friend codes? Did I hear that right, pal o' mine?

I don�t actually see them so would be news to me. If I have some I�ll post them in the private area or something

"Players who receive invites from Epic will also get friend invite codes to share with others."

But I guess that doesn't necessarily mean they'll get codes immediately, just eventually

I don�t have any idea. It runs pretty well on an iPhone 8 from my one round of play but I died when it lagged for a sec in the middle of a fire fight so that stinks. I can�t imagine queuing with pc/console but it seems fun enough to hide in the bathroom at work and get a round in against other mobile players.

e: Congratulations golashes!

I�m really enjoying the hunting rifle. I actually prefer it over the sniper. I�m somehow better at hitting 150m headshots with no scope :shrug:

I'm running into a bug where I hit people, the people do the twitch and hit marker shows up, but I'm doing no damage. This is making the game suck hard.

I loved 20v20. I hope they do that or something like it again sometime. I wish they would do something like the Arcade mode in Overwatch. Just have some special modes running all of the time.

LTM is just that, with variety and without player base segmentation.

Preem Palver: Jul 5, 2007

I think that's what they're planning; they've mentioned somewhere or another that they are intending to have a larger team mode running at all times in the future in addition to the more experimental LTMs.

New StW dev diary is out. Kinda dumb that they're now trying to whitewash the 3.2 changes as "bugs", but at least they reverted them with the last patch. Upcoming patches will increase mat stack sizes to 200, have no weapon durability loss on death, and increase xp rewards for missions in later zones. Hopefully they'll also get rid of the worthless timed rewards like 3 rotating gizmos or blue transform cards in canny.

No, servers are feeling unwell for everyone right now. Launch of mobile version and Drake PR stunt are likely overwhelming the developers.

The ios version controls are loving garbage. You can't aim and shoot at the same time because both are done by right thumb actions (swipe to aim, tap to shoot). The building UI is also atrocious requiring a ton of clicks to switch to, select your piece, and place. Probably not going to bother until this supports some type of controller.

Graphics look fantastic though and it runs super smooth on my iphone 8+.
