Compared to the Warframe lite grind of a year ago it positively showers you in weapons, heroes, and experience. Not a big fan of only filthy easy content (I can literally solo any map) and zero endgame content. I've been playing Warframe for the past month, basically the same game loop but not hot garbage.

To be fair, you can just grind other stuff, sell it and buy a good Riven. That could never work in Fortnite though, without a huge loot overhaul. Bring able to trade VBucks would get pretty messy I'd imagine. Edit: I mean with x4 maps in Fortnite the grind has become a joke, so now the Riven grind would actually be worse yeah.

Not sure if planes are overpowered or not, but they definitely blow out the traditional "build height = safety" strategy which has been foundational since the early days. Even if you aren't clumsily flying into things, plane guns are much better at building destruction that the traditional methods.

And there are big white and red crosses that make a great impromptu alt if you have too much heat on your favorite spot. It feels faster paced and less crowded. If you're getting sent "here's your 2FA code" emails multiple times per day when you aren't playing you might want to change your password and any other account that you used that password on.

Scratch that, my scatterbrain doesn't remember things. gently caress builders. Tracked a guy through a rift, shotgunned him, he uses a rift to go. I follow him to wailing, he continually builds these simple structures that I keep tearing down and the process just repeats over and over til I finally get close to him and it was my own fault at that point for not connecting any shots. But I'll keep saying it, instant building is bullshit, broken bullshit that should never be codo27 fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Dec 9, 2018 |

Yeah, it was totally bizarre. I went to bed after playing, and I logged back in about ten hours later. My account was in a party with three 12 year olds and a good 1/3rd of the battle pass done, including the one where you had to have a whole team dance in a warehouse somewhere that I'd never have done otherwise. No idea why they prioritized completing the battle pass over changing my password. They didn't even waste my vbucks.

Ohhh so close to tossing the controller just now. I'm my own worst enemy. Play it safe, get a decent loadout, 3 extra 50s and a rift. Find my way to the dance hangar and hide out there in the top. Kill 2 guys with the RPG, one cleanly who never knew what was happening til he was gone. Almost wipe out another one with rockets, someone else comes in and I finish them both. Circle was good to me and now it's 1v1. Use my rift to go to the last tiny circle, guy has deployed a turret and does some damage but I safely top up my shield as I hear him coming around the corner. He's basically loving back on to me, and I panic too much to do any real damage, chase him up his ramp, empty the entire Joe Jesus clip of the p90 and hit nothing but air, then he shotguns me. Easy win down the drain

codo27 posted:Ohhh so close to tossing the controller just now. I'm my own worst enemy. The final battle panic is real. I always forget to use my items, get fall damage, or just make plain bad decisions. When I play calm and don't rush it, things go so well. A couple days ago I was playing doubles and my friend went out for an early death. Around top 10, I went on a suicide run flying my plane down onto a huge fort in leaky lake, but I messed up the glide and ended up under them with low health. Instead of fighting, I crouched and slid under a gap in their fort, then boxed myself in and healed up. The guys up top were running around looking for me and one dropped down to my level a square away, so I edited a wall and shot his feet for some quick damage, scaring him off. Suddenly another team comes blazing in, so I decide just to wait it out in the basement of their build. There's a war going on outside and I'm just hanging out. I see some eliminations pop up in the feed and go for a quick edit to shotgun + p90 to finish off the stragglers. Two teams left, I do the same thing just chilling watching the feed until I see only one is up. Launchpad over, take the highground on his build and put a couple sneaky shotgun blasts in his back to finish it up.

At least it has a 3 second animation to pull out of the stone (Dunno if it has the same after you kill someone and try to take it from them) but it just...Changes the dynamic of the game so much. And unlike Thanos you don't appear on the map so you could easily take it and just hide out for the last circle and just nearly guarantee a victory.

Nah, esports is a legit industry. Epic has just been making some really questionable decisions when it comes to Fortnite's pro scene. Having that much money on the line and throwing new balance changes into the mix on a whim is just dumb.

The sword is really fun to use. I feel bad for the tournament guys but I like it in the regular game modes. Speaking of the tournament, the plane-neutrality pact was hilarious. People were flying around fake shooting at eachother so they could all stay alive into the end game. It wasn't even pre-planned between a couple players, everyone just realized that plane vs plane gets everyone killed so they avoided it. Check out this amazing dogfight - https://clips.twitch.tv/NastyAnimatedTofuRitzMitz Anyways the sword is fun. No fall damage on the leap is great. I got it a couple times in duos and chopped a bunch of people, but usually died when I missed my swings and got sprayed down between two enemies...it seems like assaulting builds or building yourself a maze to bait players into is the best way.

You should not be able to build poo poo with the sword, what the hell. just watched a dude just kill and immediately build around him whenever he downed someone so he could finish them off without issue.

Just had a decent run with 6 elims when the sword guy caught up with me. Hung around to watch the sword kill 7-8 more people on that run. Few thoughts: 1) The hitbox on the sword is way too big. I watched multiple people get hit at what looked like the apex of their jumps on a ground swing. You can jump a plane but you can't jump the sword right now, it seems. 2) Probably needs a nerf to the shield/health on the sword. Down to 150/150 would be enough. If you get in pretty close with the sword but miss, two or three decent shotgun blasts should take you out. 3) Watching people panic build against the sword is like watching someone run upstairs in a campy horror movie. That's what the monster wants. 4) Seems like there might be a midrange that you should stay in against the sword so that the leap is too far but the swings aren't close enough? That or maybe I just haven't seen anyone figure out how to short hop with it. 5) Maybe balloons would be good against it? But what are the chances that someone watching you fight the sword guy doesn't shoot your floaty rear end first?

Balloons and jetpacks are the way to combat the sword in the Close Encounters LTM. Plink away with a heavy shotgun and watch as they jump way too far into the zone during the later circles.

I landed in Close Encounters. The circle was as far away as possible and I could not find a single jetpack or balloon pack so I just ran to the circle avoiding everyone. Eventually I found a balloon pack with a single balloon left. I used that final balloon to hop into dusty divot. Where the sword guy was. I threw 13 pieces of dynamite and hopped around like an idiot before finally killing him. I picked up the sword. Was shot with a shotgun. I swung the sword once. The shotgun guy killed me. gently caress this game.

Shooting planes out of the sky will never not be awesome. Shot one down last night and an umbrella-haver popped out. He was dead before he hit the ground I’m not sure if I can ever go back to non motion controls. Tracking the planes with the switch motion controls is super slick.

Played a few solo squads last night for a daily challenge. I spent most of the matches just screwing around in a plane. In the first game, the sword had been left just outside of the first circle. I figured it was a trap, but I swooped down and grabbed it anyway, figuring I'd gift it to whoever managed to take me down closer to the end, because being a mobile loot drop is sometimes fun. When the time came, they didn't take it at all. They built a 1x1 around it outside of the next circle, and ran. The sword appeared in the final circles of none of the remaining squads I played last night. Probably a wise choice. The sword should have been in an LTM. No idea what they're thinking putting it in every game mode, including this week's tourney,

It was an okay marketing move since sites can now spam the ayy "whoah dude look at this dank sword totes wrecking the tourney of pros" lmao clickbait articles. Probably also helped the casters by accident, since they could just spout "insane play" whenever sword action was going on and not bother trying to understand the game.

People always flip their poo poo whenever Epic adds anything that changes any of the gameplay. It would suck if they never added any of this stuff and the gameplay got stale. So what if it disrupts people's sperglord training and OCD learning every tiny little thing to do? The sword doesn't make you invincible and there are downsides. Same thing with the planes and turrets and other things that everybody whines about all the time. It makes the game fresh.

I think the problem is a lot of the competitive folks have a vision of Fortnite (pure, serious) that is different from Epic's (sort of goofy with major swings to "The Meta" based on newly introduced items), but since there is so much money behind these events, they feel compelled to play even if they're miserable. And since the game is so wildly successful, Epic can sort of just do whatever the hell they want. e: I do hate the sword though
