Battle pass chat - developers state that full completion is aimed on average of 75-100 hours if I remember correctly, but it seems to be going rather fast for me. If you do all challenges, you also break even with cost of it as there are 100 vbucks as a reward for each 7 tiers.

Seditiar posted:He's really good, but I honestly think HighDistortion is better than anyone out there. Really chill streams as well, which is refreshing. Streamer betterness comparisons are lame. Anyways, I wouldn’t particularly recommend HighDistortion to OP because his entire commentary consists of complaining. Much like Daequan who does two things, complaining or clinging to his platonic ideal of Fortnite meta, double pump.

Seditiar posted:Eh, I don't see how it's any different as saying X player is better than Y player in basically any game. As for consisting of complaining, I haven't really noticed that a whole lot, apart from the few salty games. But everyone has salty games sometimes. It's not about salty games, it's that he always just moans and moans and moans "I wish Epic would drop everything they do and fix bugs". We get it, man, there's not need that to repeat it day in day out every time something unsightly happens. In other words, there's hardly ever anything I'd call positive on his stream, in my experience. I still watch him for plays and strats, but it never has or will be my chill stream. As for X is better than Y, in my opinion there's no meaningful difference between normal players watching Myth, Dakotaz, Kraffty, Ninja, Shroud, HighDistortion, Daequan, NICKMERCS, KingRichard, etcetera. They all are so far out there that any real or perceived difference in their skill levels is neither observable nor can be taken advantage of past their general styles, like Krafty's 20 second ziggurats on an empty spot vs Ninja's trick shots requiring less fear than water in Sahara vs Shroud's flicks at limit of human reaction times.

santanotreal posted: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. I hope the meteor theory is real and there will be crater in place of Twisted Towers. As much as I love dropping there, it is not healthy for the map meta.

Seditiar posted:As for the difference for "normal" players, you don't have to be top 1% to see a difference. I agree that they're all way above the average player though. I challenge anyone to objectively describe how any of the streamers I mentioned is an objectively less skilled player than any other of them, in a way that lends to an argument for/against watching any of the two. Unless it'll be a comedy aim comparison between NICKMERCS and Shroud.

Seditiar posted:I didn't actually recommend HD for the OP, as I don't think he's good new player material to watch. As for wanting new strats, Ninja is very chaotic in building so he's not really a good example imo, unless you want to make it work like him as well.  So we are saying the same thing after all.

Seditiar posted:Yeah.. I guess we do. Agreed. I think flashy players like Ninja and Shroud may be somewhat valueable just to try to get your self out of "optimal strats" and try having serious fun, but definitely not mindful learning streams. If you want to learn, Myth/HD/Krafty are all great and well rounded players in my opinion. I would recommend against KingRichard and Daequan because they are Mr. Sniper and Mr. Shotgun respectively. Not sure about Dakotaz, reddit circlejerk likes him but the 5 minutes on his stream felt like Twitch sandpaper to me so I didn't bother much further.

Continuing streamer chat, what's the thread's preference for solo/duo/squad streamrs? I have no idea why, but I loathe watching non-solo streams unless it's like Ninja with Drake or Ninja with Shroud or some other hot shot celeb stuff.

Scyantific posted:Yeah him and KR both started out streaming ESO, which really wasn't conducive to streaming given how chaotic ESO was back during the day. They really started making progress once they left the game and moved on to true PvP based games. Speaking of moving, Krafty was basically like that. He was bigshot Destiny streamer, but then Destiny 2 happened and he'd basically be over were it not for Fortnite swinging around.

dogstile posted:I'm slowly getting better at the game but I still haven't won a game. I think its because i've decided to learn how to shoot so I take engagements even if it'll get me killed because maybe i'll learn how to build better, etc. Knowing your calibre, this is absolutely the way. Just spam fights until you win the consistently, then the wins will come naturally. Getting plain wins is easy, you just glide until there are 20 people left alive and then shotgun one or two for better gear, to kill the last guy.

Kiranamos posted:People should stop advising landing in tilted for newb experience. The fighting there is different than any other location due to the huge tall buildings and you're much more likely to just get killed randomly. There are plenty of normal high traffic areas to drop instead like Retail Row or Salty Springs which will be way less frustrating and more "realistic" experience. The whole idea is pretty much the opposite of getting a realistic experience. Sole point of dropping tilted is so that you can have a gun fight every 20 seconds instead of every 2 minutes and get used to primary combat mechanics faster. Besides that, if you can consistently make out of TT with halfway decent haul on a regular basis, you will absolutely destroy most people out there that aren't buildlords or fellow tilters.

Kiranamos posted:Tilted is the single most likely place to die without a gun. Also, no point in wasting brain power learning chest and loot locations in Tilted, especially since it's being nuked (please god) I’ve never power learned chest locations there or anything, just landed at the first gun I see and have a go at it, gosh. Dying every other game without a gun for me is arguably more beneficial than running through empty wasteland for 10 minutes, if you want to argue in extremalities. I get it, dude, you don’t like Tilted, but for practicing shooting guns there is no better place unless you stop each fight and kindly ask every other participant except the one you planned to shoot to cease and desist with their hostilities.

Brand new to the genre sure, TT will be just too overwhelming. I wouldn’t though focus as much on strictly beneficial engagements, that is ultimately a boring play style that limits you to abstaining from the best loot crates in the game, fellow players. That’s when it becomes handy to understand what fights you can and cannot win. It’s basically the “winning games” chat all over again. Eventually, you can lurk until the top but then it’s a dice roll if you can kill the last Rambo alive.

DreamShipWrecked posted:It seems like there are a lot of trap weapons in the game. In my person opinion: Tac SMGs and Grenade Launchers are extremely good, in my opinion. Purple or legendary silenced pistols can be made of use, especially legendary. Deagles too, with first shot accuracy - rest of them strictly as a first weapon in a pinch though. Also, pump shotgun headshot damage is 225 and 238 for common and uncommon variants respectively.

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? Depending on how you do it, you can go up to 15 squares away from drop zone. Fastest arrival time is through a wallet within two squares, except for Tilted rooftops where the optimal jump is almost outside of it.

Tencent is Chinese EA, notorious for a swarm of pay-to-win trash freebies. Them effectively holding soft monopoly on western game entry to China does also mean that they have a lot of money and influence.

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:I got the battlepass pretty late and the 50v50 is great for doing the location challenges. You’d not only have to memorise which relative crosshair position is the one that makes it work, but also build only away from any objects that building blocks can be clipped to. The only legit easy hack that’s not a wall hack would probably be aimbot for things like tactical SMG, heavy or pump shotgun, and scoped assault rifle, unless you are ready to wait for testing accuracy on each shot.

Coolness Averted posted:Yeah I'm not quite sure what people are getting at when they say their involvement 'ruins' games other than they primarily invite people to tournaments who play the game in the region they publish it in.

Coolness Averted posted:But don't they set the terms of the monetization in their locale only? Like the way Blizzard set up their games on entirely different models in Asia back in the day? Or is it something like they have the pull to force those models on other markets? I'd suspect the Western publishers would usually be glad to go along with the lovely monetization if it's been demonstrated to work, and enjoy having the mean old Chinese publisher for 'forcing' them to include horse armor or whatever. Being the largest gaming company by revenue (more than Sony with Activision Blizzard combined), and holding the key to Chinese markets, they have more than enough leverage on Western developers and exercise it freely outside their domestic markets.

Seditiar posted:Or it's because 30-40 people die there within 2 minutes and the rest of the map feeling empty. In PUBG you also have a high loot density area (military), but at least there it's at the edge of the map. Which is a major extra downside of landing there, you're generally looking at a run across half the map, if you even win at all. Swap TT with Lucky Landing.
