Feenix posted:Hi all, I am new to Fortnite (PS4) and late to the party, but I finally tried it out this weekend and kind of dig it! The battlepass is worth it if you play enough because it will allow you to earn enough Vbucks to buy each subsequent season's battlepass. It might not be worth getting now though, so late in this season. I'd recommend playing the last couple weeks of this season and decide if you like it enough to drop $10 for next season. It adds weekly challenges and earns you probably 10x the cosmetics than if you play without it. The vibration is either a bug or a dumb attempt at some coded messages, if you believe reddit. Either way don't pay any attention to it.

Feenix posted:Not really ruining anything for me, but I am noticing if I have someone dead to rights in the open they get into a firefight with me and then QUICKLY build a wall up for themselves. Is there some kind of quick method of erecting a wall or are they just good? On console, not really. The controls are what they are, so it's just a matter of muscle memory. It might help to just keep it simple for a while. Just select the stairs and keep them selected. If you're in a battle, throw down a few stairs and you can use them as cover, peek over them, or keep building them to get on top of someone. Eventually you'll want to start switching between stairs, floors and walls quickly, but starting out with just stairs will be a big step up from not building at all.

DreamShipWrecked posted:PSA since I didn't know this either, you don't have to individually click to place buildings, you can just hold down the buttons. So if you are doing stairways just keep running up, if you are building 1x1s then just spin while holding it. It helps SO MUCH. If it makes you feel better they just added this a few weeks ago.

Enderzero posted:In pubg I try to jump when the map marker is exactly perpendicular to the plane. I wonder if in Fortnite it makes sense to jump sooner then that and start aiming down to gain speed and head for valleys? It's a pretty different strategy from PUBG since you can glide anywhere (at almost the same horizontal speed as no glider). There is no need to get perpendicular to maximize your flight distance. It also means you should be jumping before the plane is perpendicular to get there sooner. There is a sweet spot that varies depending on the distance from your target. I'm sure someone has figured out a formula using the bus' speed, falling speed, and the Pythagorean theorem; but it's easy to get a feel for it if you play squads. The people who jump correctly will beat the people who jump too early or jump when the plane is perpendicular.

Epic has clearly been trying to encourage people to drop at unpopular spots with their weekly challenges. It makes sense that they would want Tilted gone. I'm sure people will just collectively decide on a new hot spot if they were to remove it, though. Personally I'm hoping for a whole new map next season.

Evil Fluffy posted:If someone's that persistent in trying to access your account you should turn on 2FA immediately. What are people even trying to do by accessing Epic accounts? I assume its fortnite related, since it only started once Battle Royale got big. I guess they would take PC player accounts and rack up purchases, and then use or sell the accounts? Anyway, I play on console and epic doesn't have any payment info, so I'm not too worried. As far as I know, unlocks are tied to PSN accounts; not epic accounts. I did change the password to a unique, stronger one though.

Maybe visit https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and check if your non-unique not-strong password has been leaked via data breach in the past. Yeah my email is on a million breach lists, which is why I made sure my Epic account was a unique password. There's nothing they can do in my account - my PSN isn't even linked to it (and purchases were made through Sony). I guess they can have my free copy of Shadow Complex that I made the account for.

After they added the wheel they still let you only assign one emote if you wanted, and pushing the button would just do it. I haven't tried it but now if you assign only one, you get a wheel with only one option? Seems stupid when they had it working the other way before.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:If I buy the battlepass now is there really enough time to do the things required to earn the next battlepass, or am I better off waiting the couple weeks for the new season? Hard to say, really. You would be placed at whatever tier you're currently at (and get all the previous tier rewards). You would unlock 7 weeks of challenges all at once, so tier progress would be pretty quick. I don't think it would be too hard if you're playing daily.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:How does fall damage work in this game? I feel like sometimes I slide down a hill a little too quickly and take damage, but last night I was playing and came across someone building a gigantic sky fortress, and I mean a crazy tall structure, so of course I did what any sane person would do and I threw a grenade at the base. When it all came crashing down, I assumed the person building it would be dead but they somehow survived to shotgun me while I ran in to loot their corpse with a grenade in my hand instead of a gun. They probably had one of the new bounce pads up there. Those things will negate any fall damage so they're a good safety feature to throw down if you're high up. A jump pad would save you too, but it doesn't sound like he parachuted.

bango skank posted:I didn't mean for the challenge, I mean the little progress bar that usually circles the revive button-prompt as you're holding the button down to revive somebody(I've been playing on xbone, so it circles the X button specifically in this case.) When this happens, you can still see the green circular progress bar above their name, even if you don't see the big timer on your screen. It also shows in the player list in the top left. So you can still estimate how much time you have left.  This is on PS4, at least. I'm sure they will fix that bug in the next major update.

They're not afraid of throwing together two unrelated themes or subverting people's expectations. After the comet hit, the obvious theme was movie studio stuff, but they slowly turned it back into superheroes and government cleanup stuff. I wonder if they will do an in-game event to end the season, like the map being swallowed into a time rift or something. The missile launch was such a big success for them.

Nobody takes the minigun. It's the last thing that needs a nerf. I'm still not sure I understand this new SMG. It looks like very similar stats but with slightly more damage and a smaller magazine.

John Murdoch posted:Lower RoF and a smaller magazine is huge. The Tac SMG was flat out overpowered IMO, because the sheer volume of fire it put out combined with its patched improved accuracy and bullet damage meant that you could melt just about anyone by merely holding down mouse1. And despite being touted as the close range shotgun alternative, you could still do more with it at a distance than you'd think thanks to those buffs. Better than non-tap fired silent SMGs, possibly. I found this on reddit which seems to show the same RoF and increased damage:  Although comments are saying accuracy is worse, so it's not useful at long range anymore. I dunno, it just seems weird to "vault" the tactical SMG and introduce a brand new weapon.... The

If I'm reading the patch notes right, it sounds like you can destroy any (player-built) wooden wall with two pickaxe wacks, whether you get a crit or not. I'm not sure how long it used to take, but I would guess like 4-5 hits. Taking down towers by pickaxe should be more viable.

You would think the patch promised to kill all their pets and families with how big of a poo poo they're throwing. Its a game and its for fun, relax. Not too mention Epic has been changing and experimenting with different poo poo for the entire games existence, so this particular set of "balances" probably won't hang around long. Epic has been very receptive to fan opinions, and all it's gotten them is an entitled community that knows if they scream loud enough, they'll get the changes they want.
