 Anyone know what the deal with the floating stuff is? Seen it in a few matches complete with eerie noise.

Glider redeploy best. Felt like it should have been there from the beginning. They kinda ruined my old strategy in the desert, rock archway->mexico->rift to wherever (removed), but now I can easily glide down to the end of the waterfall to the rifts there. And if there are none, I can build up and fly away still! Wonder if rifts will end up being removed later on though.

Can’t say I’m a fan of glider redeploy, but no point in breaking spears if they say that it stays.

Not the result I was hoping for but I'm prepared to give them a chance to see how it plays out properly. Part of why I like it with Fortnitemares is that eventually there will be so many zombies that they'll be breaking all the structures in the later circles, so it's not easy to camp in an outrageously tall building. At least it means I'll get more use out of my compulsive farming as now I can build offensively tall towers without worrying.

I'm a big fan of the redeploy. I feel like the strategies will shift towards more chasing, because I've had some great encounters where I or my enemy have flown away only to have the other in hot pursuit. Super cool! I'm not a fan of these challenges that are stepwise, like "Land at 1. then 2. then 3." but that's just a minor annoyance

I'm only sad about glider redeploy because my first Fortnite kill ever came from shooting out a ramp and killing someone with fall damage. Its near and dear to my heart

Explosive damage through walls to (rightfully) be rescinded

Have they fixed the 'play a match with a friend' bug yet?Jim Silly-Balls posted:I'm only sad about glider redeploy because my first Fortnite kill ever came from shooting out a ramp and killing someone with fall damage. Same here, its even better when you drop two people who are in a build fight.

I still think you shouldn't be able to redeploy off of any crumbling structure, maybe they'll test that out soon.

You can drop really far away and if you don't get the circle then you can make it in without spending the entire match trying to catch up. I've done this sometimes, just barely make it to the circle ahead of the storm only to spend the entire 2 minutes or so running into the next circle. I doubt they're going to make it so you can't redeploy if the structure is crumbling because it doesn't make any sense. I'm 50m up and go to jump off and my glider doesn't work because someone broke a block 50m away? Those two things have nothing to do with each other and it's completely arbitrary.

We've... we've been discussing why this is a proposed compromise to redeployment since it was implemented though?

Redeployment is good and being unable to deploy the glider while falling was a very  design decision as a new player.

Likely going to be related to a weekly challenge, if I had to guess. Either that or just fun spooky stuff. Johnny Truant posted:I'm not a fan of these challenges that are stepwise, like "Land at 1. then 2. then 3." but that's just a minor annoyance I'd like them a lot more if they would update mid-match. Obviously not relevant for the land at <location> ones, but for stuff like the progressive weapon rarity one this week it would've been nice.

People that were near the cube got teleported into the final boss arena of REZ and touched a butterfly made out of a rift.

Cube exploded and took reality with it, everyone was floating in this weird void, portal butterfly lands on your finger and you pop back into the match.

"My thoughts and prayers are with you, Kevin" I say as I spray down 10th butterfly sniffer in a row right out the not-Warframe portal. Real talk, this was a cool event but I'm baffled that there was someone at Epic willing to sign off a black, rather than purple, Lil' Kev.

Dropped in at five minutes til expecting things to be mostly calm and peaceful like the rocket launch event. Nope. Assholes everywhere, a massive slaughter. Dropped from the match after getting downed and managed to get back in on time, this time keeping in the air as long as I could to avoid the inevitable griefing and I was *still* being shot at. I wish I knew what was wrong with people. Anyway, then the servers melted so I don't even know if the cutscene is available in the replay system. Wanna get a screencap of my favorite skin smiling at the butterfly rift, didn't have the foresight to take one at the time because I'm an idiot.

I dropped down to the overpass which was fairly far away from the bus lane and hid in a tree then a bush. Neat thing tho, glad I caught it.

I'm personally thoroughly convinced that Epic has no actual lore for BR and they're just screwing around in order to lightly justify gameplay experiments. I mean, the thing they did with "worlds collide" that felt a lot like an ARG but went nowhere? What a wasted opportunity. They can't have screwed that up on purpose.

I was literally just trolling around and used balloons float slowly behind a guy and 'win' a gun fight with an infinite xbow. I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing. I think I lost my first match 18 seconds in

I flew around the rift dimension a bit. Lots of the "other players" are flat textures. The butterfly rift thing only plays for the player that recorded the replay. The moment with the smile is washed out by the rift being a rift, so instead I captured a moment of awe.

Enjoying cross playing with gf, killed by someone very clearly speed hacking named "lol SuckMyDick". His life is worth less than a truck load of dead rats in a tampon factory
