Were the planes that problematic? I'm guessing so if they were changed to this extent but at least from personal experience I felt like they were really easy to destroy and the 50 hp penalty for staying in it was good enough to make them not OP. Don't really bemoan the changes since I didn't like using them much myself though.

I completely suck at this game and nothing tilted me more than having some rear end in a top hat in a plane crash into me with no consequences. A thrilling new game mechanic.

Don't really bemoan the changes since I didn't like using them much myself though. Planes were and are pretty easy to defeat in undisturbed 1v1 as a pedestrian, but they were insanely good at being effectively instantaneous and invulnerable 3rd/Nth party, i.e. free kill machines that negated most circumstances or skill differential. Another problem, albeit one affecting an arguably significant group of people, was that in higher skill lobbies the 100% plane spawn rate on all spawns meant a dozen planes in last circles just passively circling each other - and ground could again do poo poo about it since these circles would be packed enough that no peak was really affordable - see the most recent major tournament for an example of this. cinci zoo sniper fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Jan 10, 2019 |

Vehicles are fun but sometimes I do miss the circle being a threat earlier in the game.

Some item gets added to the game that people refuse to adapt to and they protest until it's removed or nerfed into oblivion. It doesn't matter if it's something that might only affect them very rarely or not. Someone once crashed into them with a plane and knocked them off a mountain 2 weeks ago and now all planes must die. Nevermind the fact that we used to have bounce grenades in the game to do the same thing. If you look at the Fortnite posts on Twitter you can still find kids begging them to remove Tilted Towers or to bring back double pump. Don't confuse competitive and casual play either. Things happen in competitive that would never in a million years ever happen in casual play. They should just have an OG mode for those people that never gets any of the updates.

I play nightly. I've died to a plane while I've been on foot maybe once? I could just as easily 3rd party you by shooting out your builds from a distance while you're distracted.

Planes were never a big issue for me. I died maybe twice to them? But my main use for them still works. Getting from point a to point b fast, or getting out of a fight I know I can’t win. The nerf doesn’t hurt me on that front.

Everything else just sounds like 2 games per night and never building and never in a plane, which would be consistent with defending infinity blade that you did earlier, iirc. cinci zoo sniper fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Jan 10, 2019 |

wa27 posted:Vehicles are fun but sometimes I do miss the circle being a threat earlier in the game. eh, I don't really miss losing because you rolled the dice wrong and had to spend the entire match hoofing it, while a bunch of other players got to actually play the game, or the weird sort of "Either you drop in tilted/the weekly hotspot and face 50 dudes or it's a wasteland of seeing no one" dichotomy. With the increased mobility of common vehicles and ski-lifts/rifts a lot of the map is more viable for drop zones, even if we're seeing a few too many planes for some folk's taste right now.

The massive amount of mobility is so nice for the overall flow the game. Everywhere has access to some kind of mobility so you can land in a quiet spot and still get into the action pretty quickly.

I've been playing for over a year but I mostly just hop on to do a couple of dailies before bed now. The game's fun but maybe a bit easy even at 100 and I'm getting a little tired of the constant events and new weapons to get every week. Even though Frostnite is a departure from the norm I don't really like it because it and the other events that don't let you use your stockpile of cool schematics that you play to amass seem kind of backwards. I'm slowly working on the latest part of the Canny Valley plot but having to constantly play Ghost Town maps is annoying. I didn't get the pin by beating the boss guy before the end of the year because of the effort. That said I can't hate on the game too much because I keep logging in. I still enjoy headshotting things through walls/the ground/everything with my maxed out Neon Sniper rifle.

Oh...I see you've done that already. THAT'S a crutch. I'm just saying it added a dimension to the game, suddenly you had to watch the skies if you heard a plane, you could have a different type of battle with a dogfight, you could do STUFF. I don't give a poo poo if I win or not, I just want to entertain myself and they took away one of the things I used to do that. I think having the battle field be a flat plain is going backwards and the same as every other battle royale. Your tactic of "shaming" people for not being as good at the game as you is not a good look, you should stop.

First game tonight. Went to lucky for the challenge, hear another guy but never encounter him. Circle eventually moves to polar, I hide in plain sight between one of those 1x1 towers and the gate area with the bridge behind it. Quickly goes from 5 left to me and one other. Move into the circle, guy presumably is already there. I get away with it safely, and once again wait til the circle starts moving. Guy gets the high ground, tries to rpg me but it hits a tree and I get a few shots in with the p90 to boot. I basically boot it to the safe zone while he's trying to build and escape the circle and I give him a few taps with the scar to end it. 8 solo wins now! against 1143 matches

I think the reason why I haven't experienced fatigue quite to that extent yet is because I like to gently caress around with different hero load outs and weapons pretty frequently. It helps the game feel fresh. I also like to experiment with building really crazy and elaborate defenses in order to see how the AI pathing reacts.

They see three tiles ahead and 3 tiles wide. They path around drops that will cause fall damage. Don't bother with traps unless it's a 4x.

Of the streamers in the OP, who is the most chill/normal? My dad is a grade school Principal and was asking me about Fortnite, but I don't play it, so I figured I could show him a streamer on Twitch (since that is also a new experience for his generation) and kill two sociocultural birds with one stone. I just don't want to flip on some Pew-die-pie-esque screeching fuckwit.

Sounds like something they forgot to do in the version 1.0.0 when they released BR, and decided to make the map not follow the grid. In STW we don't have these problems because we obey the grid.

Sounds like there's a bug in the "Deal damage with 5 different weapons" challenge that means it only works in respawn modes until your first death. That means you can't just knock it out in 5 minutes in Disco Domination. Apparently there's a fix coming "in a future update" but no timeframe for when that's out.

Hm, I finished that challenge, but I had to actually use 5 different kinds of ammo: pistol, rifle and sniper rifle bullets, shotgun shells and I think the last one was turret. I would be really surprised if I did all of that before my first death. Unless this is a new bug.

I actually saw my "Damage with different weapons" count go down from 4/5 to 3/5 when I got killed in Disco Domination, so it's definitely a crazy bug. And it did go up again later in the game even though I'd respawned (but it never hit 5). Some people are making it through successfully though.

Yeah I did the 5 weapons challenge twice and it bugged out after 4. It worked the third time when I did 5 different ammo types. Medium, Shotgun, Light, Heavy, Rockets.

And on the subject of planes, the one thing I've never figured out how to do is actually dogfight in them. Best I can tell once someone is on your rear end, they're gonna stay there until you explode or manage to gently caress off. Actually turning it around on them seems drat near impossible. (Discounting hopping onto a wing and shooting them with my actual guns, I suppose.)

I ended up just flying as close to the ground as I possibly can. Natural cover works well against most attackers, including other planes. Unless the person shooting you is in a balloon, that is. Planes are hella fun in Food Fight. You'd be surprised at how many teams don't bother really protecting entrances that aren't the front.
