Generic advice for new players: Save The World. - Build a list of people you have fun playing with. Its a better game when you play with like minded people. Even another warm body you know you can trust is better than be left to the randomness of randoms. - Don't build the stop the husk. Thats the wrong mindset. And don't build with torret defense games in mind. This is not a torret defense game. Build so that defenders are happy defending. You are building fortress, and the players are the ones defending it. Make their work easy. - If somebody build something that seems stupid. Wait to see how it works in actual combat. Some people have weird building styles that do work. If it don't work, fix with your resources. Getting into a fight to build "right" will just waste everyone mats. Battle Royale. - Stay in the borders of the circle. - If you don't have shields, your priority #1 is getting shields. - Asume somebody is camping somewhere with a sniper rifle, so don't relax in the open in the middle a field. - Learn when be aggressive and when to rat around. - Camping is a valid strategy - Play to beat your own records. Most of the game is luck based, not skill based, so don't get too angry if you get killed in a unfair way. It happens even for high skill players.

Ben Me Lowtax posted:That also reminds me of my third favorite time in this game. I was playing one of the "expand your sheild" PvE missions and I decided before I went searching for other players, I would harvest the entire area and build walls along my borders, all of them, every inch. When I brought people in to finish the mission, they were very confused. I basically got to sit and do nothing for two and a half minutes and watch some bewildered pubbies run around for 100 Vbucks. The game don't have glass, but you can somewhat make something like glass by making metal walls and weakening them. With this idea you can build a box around the spawn, and without edit rights, they will not escape this.... terrarium. If thats your thing. I would prefer them trying to help, even if they die every few seconds.

With the money they are making every month with BR, they can pay somebody to make STW players happy, and I think thats what they are doing. Releasing QoL changes is not the worst a game can do. If they can do that and polish, I don't really need a new biome or recorded Ray voicelines.

IT tooke them 20 days to solve my vbucks problem. Giving them money now is a gamble for how saturated is their service. They are making money so fast (120 million dollars/month, number pulled from my rear end) that they have problems counting it.

Is amazing the things that people can do in Fortnite. Like that dude that won a game by landing in a tree and staying in that tree the whole game. Or today, a guy that managed to cross the whole map by riding rockets (firing a new rocket and flyiing that one every few seconds). And they have yet to enable fat heroes in BR. I can't imagine what awesomeness await us when they add a Kyle of Penny skin.

The StW event.... nothing groundbreaking. But I just love me some Fortnite event shenanigans. The survival map is surprising big, they probably want to show us that they are working in the biome, and that maybe some year in the future we will get to play this biome. Or maybe BR will get a desert map. Whatever. I got the neon blade. Like it, like it based on the perks I got, seems promising. Then the attack sound is fun, and the strong attack seems that will be useful (the character move in to or three circles dashing). Got the neon constructor and is very unique. I have to try it. The perk (explosion from the base that send the husk flyiing away) require 30 kills, and thats too much, but it can still kind of fun. Also got the soldier. Nothing broken, but seems fun too. Looking forward for he sniper. Nothing I see seems too OP, but I think the devs may have made a mistake somewhere and allow some OP combo nobody has found yet. I like when games add stuff with unique properties for the potential. Also, for fashion purposes alone would be cool to use neon weapons with a neon character  next thing we will ask will be a night map The increase of size of stacks is something out of this world. I will have to learn the game again. By grinding easy and dumb my metal stack is already 5000. Feel realy good about that. Looking forward to put a lot of hours in this event, despite not having any carrot that I believe will be a must have. Everything seems kind of tame.

The minigun is useful has a tool to punish players that build something that can't defend it (very rare, niche usage). Two possible solutions: - Remove the movement restrictions, and it comes with 600 bullets (his own ammo). - Cause some suppression effect, making the aim of people off while they get shot. I don't think it's worth it, minigun is not how people want to play the game. Minigun when it works, feel cheap, when don't works, feel bad.

They seems to have a plan for Save the World and is to lure people to pay 40$ where they can get a slow drip of vbucks to buy BR skins. Is not a bad plan and all the QoL changes are wellcome but without level restrictions you can get the equivalent of a level 4 guy afk leeching in a destiny raid. They have yet to address the fundamental problem of save the world: is a coop game where being greedy and lazy pays off, while helping people is decrimental.

My spies say that Fortnite made 223 million dollars in march. Titled towers was a mistake, and not one with a recover solution. Is planetside 2 indar base "The Crown" all again. But since people like it, oh well. Maybe moving it a bit to the side of the map would help,... apparently thats what "save" PÜBG from the same problem.

I gifted my cousin a truckload of vbucks, and he bought some crappy skin and I don't know what else. None of the good stuff. At least he will look unique from the now on. Also failed the mark to buy a cool skin for myself. I don't play BR often, but I still did not wanted to play has a noskin. You would have trough that founders get one free skin. But no.

I feel that Fortnite has been raising the bar constantly since somebody found a glitch to mount a rocket, and instead of nerfing it they embraced the silliness of it. The bar is so high just now, than it will be very hard to "pay" for the hype the whole meteor thing have created.

In my experience 90% of french have a open mic and a conversation with their girlfriend, wife and mother at the same time. 10% of germans are 11 years old with fun but hysterical attacks. 20% of british are high on weed and have the time of their life. I don't know how is open mics in USA, but in europe you often get people from 4 different countries. And if you don't speak 4 different languages, good luck.

I use to be a modder, and a few of my friend modders have ended game developers, but most of them not. Modding and professional developers are two different types of people. I think. Modders are just like hackers, trying things to see how things break. Professional developers are more ..... well... pro. So is a surprise to nobody that a game build by modders feel like a mod. And I have to asume the skills that make you a good modder don't make you a good manager of your company, so maybe is a poorly run company too. It seems like that, from the outside, maybe we are wrong. But I am happy PUBG exist, because represent a flavour of Battle Royale that I am not interested in, but other people do like. Once others Battle Royales hit the market we will see how PUBG deal with it, I am sure Fortnite will always have a large population. Epic is killing it with all the upgrades and updates. Too bad bugs are starting to stack on each other and .... Epic has killed other games before. /rant Edit: Even grognards are getting Battle Royales clones

Woah, dude. This game is art. Today I won a game where the randoms almost wiped, then I rushed in to different occasions with success. Heres me rushing against a dude with a gold scar.  A good way to get better in this game is playing and just getting into it. Losing fear to try things, and learning what works and what not.

This afternoon I played some random squads matches and it was ok, so hilarious almost instant deaths and failed to kill anyone. My best return was making it to the final 10 purely by virtue of never encountering anyone until there was ten of us left and the first person I met owned me. Is a silly game. Continue a bit more, trying different things, laughing at "that just happened".

So thanos can restore shields by killing enemies. Good. But I don't see how can regain health. So taking it too soon can be a bad idea, you will die to chip damage. Thanos gameplay seems similar to "hulk" in that he jump and smash. He have a ray beam, but I have not see it destroy buildings (I have seen a short gameplay video). Thanos will be much more powerful in consoles, since aiming is harder. In PC thanos life will be way short because sniper making his life very hard. Pro mode is jumping and using the ray beam from the sky. I want to see a video of thanos destroying tiled towers and one video of thanos dancing all the game dances. Edit: I was wrong. With good management thanos is unkillable. You only have to play smart. Edit: My second wish was fullfilled. Thanos on TT. He just fly trough buildings like they are not there. You can't hide from Thanos in TT. Tei fucked around with this message at 11:16 on May 8, 2018 |

I killed Thanos. https://twitter.com/Teiman/status/993949349708214275 Kind of easy. The movement options are limited, and you only have to do chip damage until it dies. You have a huge strategy adventage in that you always know where is him. I ambushed a Thanos, put 3 clinky grenades on him, and then finished him with a gold scar. https://twitter.com/Teiman/status/993949229948329985

An opportunistic rear end in a top hat strategy for the LTM event: Since the storm advance so fast. If you land far from the circle you are literally dead. My strategy is to land in a town in the opposite side of the crater and the circle, so I can farm a city that is empty or mostly empty, then use the hop rocks to avoid the storm. I pay special attention to people that land in this empty town, or that are in the crater. I may sacrifice myself to get 2 or 3 quick kills this way. People that is running from the storm are easier to kill than others. This strategy is not very good because other people have the same idea. Another strategy is to camp the lake, when Tilted Towers is outside the circle. The theory is people will abandon the city and have to cross a lake while the storm is behind him. Again, is not a good strategy because most people that drop in TT die theres, and the survivors are smart enough not to try to use the lake in his escape route. I think this game would be 500 times better If they removed the ugly burst rifle. Nothing worse than opening a chest and getting it.

prom candy posted:One thing I realized is I don't really understand how cursor placement affects building. I think the wall just snap to grid to a imaginary grid you don't see but exit in the world. If you move the cursor the game will suggest the wall that is nearest from the cursor to that imaginary line. Measuring the distance in your screen, not on the map. Or thats how I presume it to work. I just build and don't think much about it. It may be even one of these things were different people have different appeals. --- BR map ignores the grid and hills and other mountains are softed ignoring it. thats why in some places when you build the wall appear undeground, while in other places seems to hover. On STW the maps are generated on the fly before the first player join and strictly follow the grid system (they still look great. Fortnite map generator is one of the great ones ever made, next to Minecraft). Tei fucked around with this message at 14:24 on May 10, 2018 |
