| Posted: 11 Jan 2018 04:46 PM PST Hey guys! Sorry for being late on this one, semester's started so I'm still getting into the swing of things. Anyways, as per tradition, here is the mega thread for undocumented changes introduced in this patch as well as recurring bugs that still not have been fixed! In addition, for those of you that are having issues (i.e. inventory gone) and still have not them resolved, I've compiled a list of Epic comments in hopes of pointing you in the right direction to getting it resolved. Epic comments regarding what action to take if your inventory is gone
Please note that the other mods of this subreddit and I don't work for Epic, so don't PM us asking for help. It's not that we don't want to help you, but rather we are unable to and all we can do is tell you to do what I've stated above. Undocumented Changes for 2.1.0
Recurring Issues
Multiple reports, but unknown if bug or intended design
I posted a bug on this thread/previous threads, but its not on the list/never made it to the list!Even if your reported bug does not make it on this list, it will probably still get visibility with upvotes. With that being said, I like to confirm something before adding it on this list. Ways to make this easier:
Other reasons of things not making it on this list is if it ruins the "integrity" of the game. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Epic needs to learn to be parents to multiple kids. (BR/STW) Posted: 11 Jan 2018 06:31 PM PST Ok Epic. Enough is enough. You have two amazing kids: Save the World, and Battle Royale. Now you need to learn to take care of them each without making the other one hate you. Right now, the oldest child (Stw) feels like it is being completely neglected in favor of the new child. (BR) We have paid for early access to be able to give you feedback on how to improve the game, point out bugs and flaws, which we have done. Yet we are now at the point where these issues have remained constant for months, while BR gets weekly content updates, completely new game modes, items, weapons, campfires, and now an announcement of more in-depth maps. The most recent patch was a joke, and didn't address a single major issue the STW community has been clamoring about for months. Why would new players pay for EA when they know that nothing is being done to address the current issues? It's time to be honest. Just tell us if we're getting put on hold in favor of BR. You have a beautiful game that people love playing. It has issues, but it's your actions as a company (or complete lack thereof) that is the biggest issue right now. And I'm not saying you should favor the STW community because we paid. That was our choice. But to be completely ignored at this level... What did we do, borrow the car and crash it? Throw a party and trash the house without permission? Because it sure feels like we're being grounded and put aside. /Rant over Edit: on phone [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jan 2018 02:57 PM PST Pretty much title, but to add a little, I see posts almost daily of people asking the devs to please respond to their support tickets because the email response time from their support line is so bad. This should not be the case. Ive opened 5 tickets about my backpack wipe due to the last bug and ive given up hope of that ever being resolved, this post is not trying to get that fixed. If a dev sees this please just do your job and provide support to people in a timely manner and not wait till they make a post on this subreddit that gains some traction to finally help them out. Cheers guys, love u all [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Storm Shield Wiped 3 Months Ago - My Plea to FortNite Devs/Support Posted: 11 Jan 2018 05:31 AM PST Update: @JustMooney1 worked some behind the scenes magic and escalated my case to the right folks. With two hours of his comment on this thread my storage is overloaded with replacement mats! Thank you very much! Hello, It's been three months since my base (Plankerton Storm Shield) was wiped/reset completely, and its been one month since my last email from Epic support claiming they were looking into my case(s). I was told that any response to my ticket would further delay the handling of this issue, so I have been very patient. Please read the below email chain thoroughly, and look into the referenced support case numbers. If you do, then you will understand my frustration. I love this game, and I am happy to support it, but my favorite aspect of the game was gutted with no recompense. I spent hours upon hours building my storm shield to be both aesthetically pleasing and effective at defending against the storm. When my Tier 3 Stone Castle in the sky vanished - I was saddened, but I understood this can happen. Its an early access game and sometimes you guys need to make adjustments that will necessitate the resetting of certain elements - I get that. However, when this occurred in the past, the affected players' traps and materials were replaced in their storm shield storage. More recently, when a server error wiped inventory, those players reported a 2000 V-Buck compensation. My base of 30,000+ stone farmed, 100+ legendary 3-star traps, and hours of building was erased in an instant, and I received nothing as compensation. I do not feel entitled to V-bucks or replacement materials, and at this point, I don't have any expectation that my base can be restored to its former self. The most aggravating aspect of this entire ordeal is the terrible way in which my support request has been handled. I won't belabor the point here because it is all too obvious by reading the below chain of emails and associated support tickets. This is the fourth email I have submitted to support in regard to this issue, and I sincerely hope it is the last. Even if nothing can be done, I need you to close this matter in some way that will allow me to enjoy this game again. As of now, my storm shield in Canny Valley is a lazy assembly of pyramids to provide minimum defense whenever I need to slug through another SSD. I want to build an epic base again, but my trust in you has been broken for three months now. Please do something and by all means - do not send me an automated reply as I have received in the past. That kind of 'support' is worthless and demeaning to any of your players whom have graced you with their confidence and support to fund this early access game we want to believe in. Regards, Knubside David (Knubside) Subject: Plankerton SSD Reset DEC 11, 2017 | 04:32PM EST SkribblrPrsn replied: Hello David, I am going to investigate your case further. You can expect an update as soon as we have tracked down more information. Please await our email, as any response to this ticket will reset the escalation process and may lead to a delay in handling your request. Thank you for your patience. SkribblrPrsn Player Support http://epicgames.com DEC 02, 2017 | 12:01AM EST David replied: Hello, this visual bug is not the issue for my case. My stormshield power level correctly shows 6/10. Please review the screenshot I submitted that clearly shows what I am talking about. Regards, David DEC 01, 2017 | 11:26AM EST SkribblrPrsn replied: Hello David, Thanks for contacting Epic Games Player Support. Apologies for the delayed response. We have identified a visual bug associated with the Storm Shield Power Level. This is a visual issue only and your progress has not been affected. We are working to address as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience and understanding! SkribblrPrsn Player Support NOV 22, 2017 | 12:36PM EST Original message David wrote: My base was wiped over a month ago causing me to lose 30k+ stone and hundreds of legendary traps. Luckily, I had already finished my sixth storm shield defense, so I can continue playing in Canny Valley while I wait for a resolution to this issue. I have submitted a ticket previously with screenshots and logs - please refer to Case #s 1187032 & 1355864 I have also attached a new screenshot that shows an aerial view of my base taken today. Note that the trees, rocks, etc. all reset as well as everything I had built. I look forward to your response.

| Weapon idea: Bow and how it could be good in fortnite Posted: 11 Jan 2018 09:05 AM PST Bows could potentially be a blast to play; however there is one glaring issue with bow's in that they would be high damage, require a charge-up to be useful, so good against bosses and mist monsters, terrible against trash waves. So, the solution is to make bows penetrating weapons. The projectiles would have an arc, which would be reduced the longer the bow was drawn (as would damage be increased) however Movement speed would be reduced whilst drawing. This makes it great against grouped enemies and kill tunnels. A more complex mechanic could be "penetrating power" where baseline the arrow doesn't pierce, but the longer the bow is drawn it gets increased to the power level of the bow and offense/PL of the player. Ammo-wise, i don't think that adding a separate "projectile" type would work, however it could work like explosive weapons with a twist. The bow would have x-max ammo, and no durability, however when the ammo is reduced to 0 or lower the bow is destroyed [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Overstocked on resources? Need space? Here's what you do. Posted: 11 Jan 2018 09:07 AM PST Go to a lower tier session. Like "ride the lightning power level 3". Give the starting out players your overstocked resources you want to get rid of. Weapons you don't like, like some of the happy holidays gift weapons you get from opening presents, farmed resources etc. Give lower players a nice starting out. Go about your day. Repeat when you're overstocked again. As a hoarder that doesn't like to be forced to drop something no one wants or needs in my own sessions when my backpack is full, doing something like this makes me feel better since I know the resources can be put to use by someone that will certainly need them.

| Daily Llama Thread 11/Jan/2018 - It's a Llama llama Posted: 11 Jan 2018 04:01 PM PST Hello Storm Chasers! Today's Daily Llama can be found below posted by /u/stormshieldonebot in the comments below! How likely is a Llama to show up?

| Posted: 11 Jan 2018 07:31 PM PST I'm not sure how everyone else feels about this, but I along with some friends would love to see the refresh time decreased. It's hard to stay interested when it takes forever to reset the missions. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Floor Launcher or Copper Ranger Posted: 11 Jan 2018 10:07 PM PST Are either of these worth 700 daily coins? Pretty new and not sure if either is a good buy. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Petition to get green rifles renamed Orange Scar so I can more cheaply bait BR kids off cliffs Posted: 11 Jan 2018 09:54 PM PST Ignore all the other bugs and tickets for a few minutes for the sake of sweet justice to the worst type of beggars [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Anyone else having pc/PS4 cross play problems Posted: 11 Jan 2018 08:43 PM PST Can't seem to link with my boys I stream with. We all do this in the same house and normally works without fail but tonight we can't join him on our pcs even though he shows up in friends list.

| Posted: 11 Jan 2018 03:39 PM PST Maybe the StW players will appreciate this for the ending... (it was supposed to be a nod for players that appreciate both modes, but they hardly looked at it over at the BR sub) The bus slowly rolling overhead, wailing it's song like the horn of gondor, its shadow draped across the valley below... The butterflies flutter amongst themselves as warriors of the storm flee the belly of the beast, descending to the land below, aiming towards their destination of either victory or death. With nothing but a pickaxe in hand and a bush on the horizon, the struggle to survive begins. Shots echo from beyond, accompanying cries of death and agony. The numbers dwindle as the storm closes. Victorious, only one may be, as the field grows smaller and tighter, slowly encasing the combatants in its grip. It's just a game, that's true. But it is an important one, for whoever outlasts all others is the chosen one. The elite. You have passed the test. You are the victor. But wait... there are others like you... over there... So please pack yourself in there tight, little victory hero. Squeeze in. There's plenty of room in the llama, don't you worry. And then, when someone is awarded with this prized llama, only then will you truly emerge victorious. That is when your real test will be before you. That is when you must save the world...

| I love Fortnite and I get the smallness of the patch. Posted: 11 Jan 2018 06:44 AM PST Just a few weeks ago Fortnite gave us a revamped Survive the Storm, completely new store that is awesome, and new heros/weapons. Then Christmas break (with its own set of technical issues) happened and its the first week of the year so I get there has been little time to test bug fixes. PvE is more complex than PvP so I get it. I love fortnite. Its my favorite game of all time knocking off some serious competition and its not even done yet. Its the perfect mix of great art design, grind, strategic building and lets you walk away for days but be able to jump right back in. I have made probably about 10 friends from the game because we have teamed up randomly in protect the Servers or Launch the Rocket and defended it with every last mat and trap in our inventory. I know you guys are angry because you love the game also. Just lets give them constructive feedback to build the game and make it better. (Note: I made a quick account because I only come here for advice but wanted to post my love and support for the game) [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Upgrading from Epic to Legendary? Posted: 11 Jan 2018 07:55 PM PST Is there a way to "upgrade" my Epic Christmas event hero into his Legendary counterpart? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I'm tired of low levels joining higher level missions... Posted: 11 Jan 2018 07:26 AM PST I'm sick lf it! Had it happen dozens of times, including the past few days. 2 days ago Me and my friend (level 69, and 73) were doing a level 70 RTD with 20 raindrops. There were 8 minutes left on the mission, so we started it, and 2 people joined. A level 36, and a 38. We started building and made a pretty decent base before we realized that none of them came to help even after I said: You guys better come build, or upgrade. What are they doing? Farming the map, and completely ignoring us. Me and my friend decide to stop building, and shoot down the balloon at 8 minutes. They do nothing for the first few minutes, so then we decide to completly abandon the objective and go farm back our resources. When the balloon starts to take damage then they run their asses to the objective and start building like crazy and upgrading everything to max. They were too weak, so we failed the mission, so me and my friend started dying at how desperate they got when they realized that we weren't gonna carry them, so no free raindrops for them. Yesterday we had a level 51 join our level 70 RTD. Same thing, they built nothing and farmed the map the whole time. I was like you gonna help. He comes and upgrades 8 structures 1 time, and then goes back to farming the map. We then shoot the balloon down at 8 minutes again. Farms the map for a few minutes, and then decides to actually shoot a couple of minutes after. We leave the objective, and he still doesn't build anything. When the mission fails he leaves. Then today, I play a level 70 encampment mission by myself, and a level 76 joins along with 2 friends he brought. Level 46, and 38. I ask if he brought them. He says yes. I ask why. He says why not? The level 38 says STFU in all caps. I say you 2 shouldn't be here. The level 38 says what's your probleme (with an e on the end). The level 76 says we play you don't go home, just like that. I was like I'm reporting you 2 after this. The level 38 once again asks what's your probleme? I say this: If you can't see what the problem is then that's sad. Then replies with a <3 and I just put a smiley face in reply. By the end of the game the underpowered people have less than 500 offense, and me and the 76 have over 1000. We did 5 encampments before the game ended. When you're bringing your underpowered friends to high level missions, or when they can see high level missions and join, you are affecting everyone do to your selfish act. Epic games should prevent people from joining zones 3+ levels above their PL, at least in public games. If you wanna play on private, and carry your friend, no problem, but don't force it upon everyone else, and then act like a bitch when you get called out. TL:DR Epic games should prevent people from joining missions 3 or more zones above their PL. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Would be nice to have previous Event Hero's available to buy in the Event Store Posted: 11 Jan 2018 05:14 PM PST Personally, I booked my Epic Gunblazer Southie from the Scavenger event because I couldn't justify keeping him as I only got one and couldn't see myself ever wanting to invest the drops into an Epic Hero. Turns out I'm stupid as I should have seen this coming. Glad I held onto my Epic Catstructor Penny! So it would be nice if some of the event-only hero's showed up to acquire, even if they came in at Rare or Uncommon, not just Epic. Then we could upgrade them over time. Also, maybe even the previous event weapons could make an appearance? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jan 2018 06:59 PM PST When getting help in a sad mission should you grant permissions? Or just let the others help with the killing? I ask because I had someone help me and kept asking why I didn't grant permission, I feel like granting permission may just open yourself to greifing... but maybe this game isn't like that?
