AAB posted:that said, I do wish there was a sandbox or shooting range other than the loading island thing Agreed. It would be nice to be able to play around with building materials and guns without dropping into a game. I was watching a building edit mode tutorial on YouTube, and the guy kept getting interrupted by the circle and other players. He was good enough that he won the game, all while walking through how to make the pyramid into a ramp, etc.

Seditiar posted:This is terrible imo. I find it much easier to keep track of others/my crosshair when I don't have to use my thumb to press buttons instead of stabilizing my mouse. Even the most die hard streamers/players usually only use 1 maybe 2 buttons from their mouse (excluding Fire/ADS). My hand is too spazzy in most situations that I’ll end up hitting those side mouse buttons by accident, getting me killed. Much better for me to remap to around WASD

I wouldn’t mind if different parts of the map were rotated in and out, like removing dusty depot and replacing it with a new place to explore, as an example.

Bottom Liner posted:“Splits the player base” is the dumbest poo poo ever when you’re talking about the most popular game in the world and the maps aren’t paid dlc or something. Every good multiplayer game in the world has multiple maps and modes but people are scared of it in this game because the previous BR games that sucked did it poorly. Even if they were separate queues it would not be close to an issue when you have this many players. They could literally have 5 maps and 5 modes each with their own queue and be fine. Yeah, that’s assuming the player base stays this high forever. But new maps detract people while splitting the player base. And instead of learning the new map, a lot of people move on to the next flashy game. And people move on to new games all the time anyways. For long term success, they need to find a different way to keep people playing. And I think new maps are the opposite of that.

Basically you should almost always be building or ready to build. It gives you a huge advantage against someone who is worse at building. So if you aren’t the one building, you’re the sucker about to get dropped on by the person building. Streamers/pros and top players are of course on a completely different level, but some battles between great players sometimes involve close combat building, with almost no shooting for some periods of time. They’re each just trying to get the upper hand through quickly building on top of the other player.

Matchmaking is bad and lame. I enjoy having both tougher and weaker opponents in a game. Gives a greater variety and allows you to get better by facing tougher competition. Constantly playing only around the same skill level is frustrating when you have a bad game (or few games) and less satisfying when you do well.

Mini gun generally only works against bad players, and even then not consistently. Way too niche to be worth using a slot that could be utilized by a different weapon, grenades or health.

DreamShipWrecked posted:It seems like there are a lot of trap weapons in the game. In my person opinion: Silenced pistol is decent to hold on to if you don’t have a better alternative, especially since you can medium-long distance plink at someone without them knowing where it’s coming from. Also good for destroying cover without giving away your position. Deagle is fun for headshots medium-long distance, but again generally if you don’t need that slot for something else or you’re just screwing around Pump shotty>tac shotty all day. You can one-pump headshot someone with full health and shields. Decent meta is to hold on to one of each. First shot with the pump, then switch to the tac if they’re not already dead Grenade launcher is better than rockets IF you learn how to use it effectively. Rockets are slow and one shot reload, which means generally are ineffective against even decent players. Grenade launcher can take down an entire base very quickly, with no chance of the other player building up in time. Best bet against a grenade launcher is to abandon base (if your opponent uses it well) Scoped AR is great for long distance if you don’t have a sniper, but it’s lower damage and low rate of fire mean it’s an after thought compared to any other rifle.

20v20v20v20v20 is much better than 50v50. I was actually pretty bored in 50v50. 20x5, you had multiple teams dropping one location and was instantly fun with continuous fighting between large teams. 50v50 there’s an awkward amount of time where a few people die, but you’re mostly gathering resources with 0 chance of interaction with the other team. Then everyone meets in the final circle for a confusing mess of building, people trolling teammates and rocket spamming.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:honestly, fortnite really does not need to worry about "splitting the player base." it's literally one of the most popular games in the entire world. if they split the base, both halves will still loving dwarf every other game's player base except maybe PUBG and Overwatch. And it will be like that forever and ever, especially if you split the player base while it’s at peak popularity.

Thoughtless posted:So I'm kinda dipping my toes into this game, but it seems to not like solo players very much. As in, full teams get put in the same games as all the solo guys. Am I correct in thinking this or are people actually forming impromptu alliances? Through a few hundred solo rounds, I’ve never run into anyone teaming in solos. There are plenty of fights involving multiple people, but as soon as more than three people are fighting, it’s generally smart to find a way to hide/escape til some of the confusion dies down. Aka, there’s only one or two people left in the fight and is now a good time to rejoin the fight. Too many times I’ll die in a multi person solo-queue fight because I kill one person, which gives a second person a chance to kill me before I can change my aim to them.

Oxygenpoisoning posted:I just started playing and it was defaulting to Squads for some reason. I played 3 games and immediately was swamped before I realized I wasn’t in solos. Matter of comfort. Most people rebind to the keys around WASD such as Q, E, Z, X, and C with maybe a couple on the mouse if you’re comfortable with that. At this point, most players are comfortable with the basics of building and strategies with building, so you’ll have some catching up to do. Two easiest things to learn are quickly building a 1 x 1 and always building ramps when starting engagements to get height advantage and cover.

keyframe posted:You are really hosed in this game if you get unlucky and find no shields. Shields are essentially health in every way except in how you add health (bandages, med kit) vs add shields (shield potions or whatever). No damage reduction on shields, just an extra barrier from death. Only way to die while still having shield left is from storm damage or falling.

But it just looks too big, too ugly and too janky for me to enjoy as much as fortnite.

FauxLeather posted:I've had so many occasions where I've unloaded an entire clip of my assault rifle at an enemy while they were in the center of a Still & Crouching crosshair and had every shot miss. Scoped assault rifles are the only ones I wanna use because those actually hit. With first shot accuracy, you’re better off tapping instead of spraying when beyond 50m or so unless your enemy is putting up walls as they run. At least I’ve found that works for me, but I’m also not great at keeping the crosshairs on someone while spraying anyways.

Tei posted:Yea. What the hell about that? Since it’s free for all, people have a perception that they should stand a chance solo against Thanos. Temporary teaming up doesn’t consistently happen, and you inevitably have to betray a teammate anywaysso the other person doesn’t get the gauntlet when Thanos dies. Additionally, 1,000 damage is a lot for people who can’t aim well and whose only strategy to survive in BR is to put up a quick 1x1. Killing Thanos requires different tactics that are more focused on aiming ability since Thanos destroys any building instantly. Basically, it’s a poorly designed game mode.
