2.5.0 Undocumented Changes/Bug Megathread

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 04:20 AM PST

2.5.0 Patch Notes

Hi all! Same as last time! We're requiring you to follow the format below (you can copy paste it). Please, please, please follow this format, and check to see if what you are reporting has already been said:

 

**Explanation**: **Evidence**: **If replicable, how**: **Platform**:

 

By doing this, we can use the upvote system to measure severity/frequency and also provide the developers with more info than simply, "Hey, this thing is not working, can you fix? Thanks." While allowing less severe/frequent bugs some more visibility instead of flooding the thread with the same bug. If you wish to report a bug and see that it's already reported, then just reply to that comment. If you have a workaround for that bug, then comment it on that post.

2.5.0 New Weapon Rolls/Perks Thread

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 04:41 AM PST

As some people have noticed, there seem to be a couple new rolls introduced, whether they are now available for all weapons or only the event ones, we do not know, but if you see a new roll post it here instead of making a separate post. I'll start off with one provided:

crit dmg on affliction

(not any different than normal max roll crit dmg btw, other than an added requirement)

Your sucking the fun out of your own game.

Epic, is it time for our refund yet?

Thanks for that two page event and all that you hyped me up for. Got me back on for about 3 hours and had it finished if not sooner. Too bad you've made ticket grinding no more fun so I won't pick this game back up until I need v-bucks for BR or the next event. This last update was so pointless and didn't fix much of anything.

I want to love this game and I did at first until I got to unfinished Canny. Your Halloween event was amazing. I didn't even finish it because there was so much to do. Then the Christmas event which was ehh. It had cool ideas with the wave based game mode. I got to finish that event fairly quickly. Had fun none the less. But this "event" if it can even be considered that. Seemed so half assed.. On top of that you ruin the ticket earning system. Just refund PvE players and go focus on your precious BR. (Which I do love that btw)

New "features" you're gonna "love"

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 06:54 AM PST

EPIC hit a home run, as always, with this new patch, bringing with it a handful of new fixes.

--Tired of looking at a 1 power level with no name? We've got you covered; with this new patch you can now see the word "Connecting..." for the rest of the mission.

--Is your fireworks pistol's reticle getting in your way when you're trying to aim? Now you don't have to bother with that silly little thing, just stand still and hope you can tell where the exact middle of your screen is. Players that appreciate the reticle will have to shoot while moving, for added accuracy.

--Have you ever finished part of the event questline and thought to yourself, "I wish I could keep doing this over and over with no reward"? Now you can keep searching red mailboxes day in and day out. To help you complete this pointless objective, you will always be able to see handy yellow exclamation marks on your map that are completely identical to the ones for your current quest.

--Ninja's have realized that half a year later there's still no fix to throwing stars, as such ninjas no longer smile and instead have the expression of a Fortnite player that spent all of their seasonal gold on trash because the devs told them to.

The amount of tickets this event gives is a joke

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 10:15 AM PST

When I saw people saying they were getting 80 tickets in a Power level 84+ zone, I figured the llamas only required 500 tickets. But no, Epic has decreased the earned tickets by 33%+ in most/all areas. There better be a repeatable quest that awards tickets otherwise this amount of ticket earning is insulting for an event that is scheduled to only last a couple of weeks at most.

Spring Lama's (the realities of farming: time required per lama)

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 05:34 PM PST

Getting tickets (from +difficulty missions)

  • Minimum event tickets = 40 (from stonewood missions)
  • Maximum event tickets = 94 (from twine peaks, p100 missions)

 

You need +1 difficulty (2 player) in order to get event tickets, so 3 blue glo.

  • 1000 / 40 = 25 (games)
  • 1000 / 94 ~ 11 (games: rounded)

 

Assuming a game takes 20 minutes each

  • Stonewood: 25 * 20 = 500 minutes = 8 hours and 20 minutes of 'mission time'
  • Twine Peaks (p100) = 11 * 20 = 220 minutes = ~ 3 hours 40 minutes of 'mission time'

Obviously you can do faster type missions (like atlas missions) to get the numbers down a bit, but realistically players are looking at about 4 hours of play time (minimum) to get a single lama from this event.

Max 94 firecracker tickets per mission at 1k per llama?

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 08:26 AM PST

This is a huge nerf in earning potential. If I'm not mistaken it's the lowest ticket to llama earning ratio we've had yet. it will take at least 11 missions to open 1. On top of looking for legendary variants and fighting for decent rolls, this seems like a lot of work for little reward. Not that it's a new concept or anything though..

Of course you can buy 10 llamas for 1 too

Edit: For those trying to justify this by the removal of the ticket earning cap, ~50% more missions to earn just as much is not cool especially when most didn't even have the time to do their 10 a day. Now those with more time can play 50% longer to earn just as much, if they even have that much extra time. Plus only the very few that truly have nothing to do for huge periods of time will benefit.

DEVS not to blame

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 07:40 PM PST

So after spending 16+ years in software development\systems architecture for large corporations I realize most people are missing the problem with Fortnite. A lot of people will focus their comments and gripes against the devs. Anyone who has worked for major companies like Epic realize that the devs are not at fault. The problem is within management, specifically the executives within the company handing down directives. Most devs are just given instructions on what needs to be changed or corrected. When something is architected poorly its not the devs job to fix the issue but rather implement the poorly constructed changes. The issues with Fortnite isn't the devs, I guarantee its the decisions from upper management who are more focused on revenue.

PSA: You can go outside of your Storm Shield in Canny Valley.

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 01:31 PM PST

I didn't think they could implement anything to make weapon rolls worse. I stand corrected.

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 03:30 PM PST

PSA: This is only the first part of the event questline

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 06:22 PM PST

To everyone raising their pitchforks and stamping about ready to burn Epic HQ to the ground over this "crappy event" just remember their roadmap...

https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/news/v-2-4-2-patch-notes

This is the first part of the event, presumably broken up so people don't burn though it to fast. So odds are the missing Valentines hero will be a part of that second update.

Why do i need bluglo to up the difficulty..

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 05:34 PM PST

Really this is just plain stupid.. Make the upgrade free.. I know you want to keep bluglo useful but spending 20 minutes scouring the map if you want to do more than 1 upgrade difficulty is just plain stupid.

**FULL LOVE STORM QUEST LINE & REWARDS LIST**

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 07:01 AM PST

Love Letters Lost - 500 Firecracker Tickets - Loot 5 mail boxes

Keep Summer Safe - 500 Firecracker Tickets - Defend Summer

...Has It's Thorn - 100 Vbucks - Find 7 Flowers

Dennis to Society - 500 Firecracker Tickets - Defend Dennis

In Your Ears - 500 Firecracker Tickets - Listen to 5 Boomboxes

If You Can't Find Love - 100 Vbucks - Find 10 Chocolates

Bear Force One - Love Ranger Jonesy Hero (Survivalist Jonesy Re Skin) - Launch 9 Teddy Bear Balloons

All these mini quests were really straight forward & all but one were marked on the map by the yellow exclamation mark. The only exception being the "If You Cant't Find Love" mission. In order to complete that particular one you have to smash fridges & cabinets (anything found in kitchens basically) to reveal the chocolate box drops.

I completed all but the last 2 missions on a single run. Both those last 2 took 2 missions to complete respectively.

The new opt-in difficulty

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 05:24 AM PST

so we played lvl82 atlas mission, and we increased the difficulty five times ( the max which is called madness). the power of the husks become 101, and they spawn with mixed elements we got nature and water enemies at the same time. we built a lot of tunnels and traps and the mission was easy because of this. however the rewards were not worth it at all, we got 40 Gold and 85 tickets beside the mission rewards... and that's it.

Refunding Evolution Materials?!?! - Epic is definitely showing the love here!

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 06:30 AM PST

Just a huge thanks to Epic for finally making this request a reality:

"•When 2-Star or higher Schematics, Heroes, Survivors, Survivor Leads and Defenders are recycled they will now refund all evolution materials spent evolving the item. ◦This change was made because we wanted players to be able to level up and test out new heroes, weapons, and traps without the risk of losing valuable evolution materials."

This was a long time coming, but is really the bestest of news!

More potential weapon stats? Still no re-rolls? Why?

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 08:50 AM PST

This new event has brought in more random weapon perks. That means the chance of getting a weapon that has trash rolls has increased even more. I have rows and rows of amazing legendaries with garbage rolls. I'd love to use some of those schematics, but without weapon re-rolls to fix them, they will never see the light of day.

If the assumption is that diluting the perks even more will cause me to buy more llamas to perhaps get a decent weapon - this is a flawed assumption. When I first started this game, I had no problem dropping 99 dollars on v-bucks once a month to snag llamas. I didn't have many legendaries; I wanted legendaries; I'm not poor.

Months and months later, my survivor squads are all filled with legendaries, most of them match personality and have mythic leads. Why? Because anytime a llama that could give me people comes around I buy it. If an event gave legendary survivors consistently from llamas (looking at you Fortnitemares) I ground it. The RNG of people is more forgiving than the RNG of weapons. Thus, it's less of a gamble for me to buy those llamas or grind the game to earn them.

What's the point? I'm a customer who will consistently pay to play. However, the odds are so terrible for weapons, that it's not even worth the gamble. The chance of satisfaction is actually so low, it's barely worth my time to whack the llama to see the contents.

For multiple events now, I've rolled my eyes at these five headshot bonus rocket launchers. These extra affliction damage perks on non-affliction causing weapons. Snared bonus this. Knocked down bonus that. But adding even more perks without a re-roll system? It really makes me not want to even see what's in the llama, because chances are it's more disappointment.

EDIT: minor typo.

Why can a nature husk do stamina damage to me when my shield is full?

Is this a good idea or is it too big?

A Constructor Harvests (my constructors thoughts as she gets mats)

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 09:16 PM PST

I smash things to build. I destroy to create. Where is my family? I'll only do this for a little while, I must start building—but troubling thoughts invade. I don't want to believe that the husks are our families—our neighbors, our doctors, lawyers, and judges. I will judge you now.

My conscience is clear. A thick wall is all that matters—and clever traps. Nothing will get past by defenses. I am one of the constructors. I create at will what is needed, when it's needed, to survive. To push back all that is wrong. Why do they always come in groups?

They must have some kind of intelligence, some reptilian cunning, they always know my weakest walls… the best way to kill us. Occasionally, when I see the smaller husks destroyed, I wonder if one of them was mine. I imagine her out there roaming these cities and woods, eating, always hungry, and always killing. This is too much. Why go on? I have to stop thinking like this.

These traps we invented are a huge success. Only when they are jammed with the viscera and grease of the dead do we contemplate the need to deliver better ones. This is why I'm here, killing these trees, smashing these rocks, carefully taking apart anything with nuts and bolts. To better rain down destruction from above and below, allowing none of our loved ones in.

We will reclaim this earth. The planet will heal. I've killed ten thousand husks and will kill ten times that to see this happen. I am motivated and ready. It is time to begin. It's time to build.

This sub makes it really hard for new players to enjoy the game

Posted: 15 Feb 2018 02:35 AM PST

I got this game 2 weeks ago. Since then, I have gotten 3 friends to play with me and they all surprisingly enjoy it. I knew coming into this game (from countless reviews) that I shouldn't expect much. I actually fell in love with it, I'm already level 23 (no where near you guys, but that's a lot of time for 2 weeks).

It's refreshing, new, a perfect mix of shooters, looters, builders, and MMOs. I came from Overwatch where I'm a masters player and I was just burnt out. The beautiful cartoon graphics and stable optimization made for a great transition.

An important part of games for me is the community. I enjoy being able to check in on things when I'm not able to play or just have 10 minutes to burn.

Unfortunately, this sub doesn't offer that, all I see are non-constructive criticisms. I read them and understand the frustration. Real money is at play, as well as hundreds of hours of time from loyal customers. However, if the community is worried about the game dying, the best way to ensure that is to make the community a toxic pool of complaints.

Complaints do, and should, have a place in this subreddit. I think the best way to do this is to create a megathread (updated weekly) for input to Epic devs.

No one who just had an enjoyable binge on this game wants to come here to only see 20 posts on the front page in all caps calling Epic a piece of shit. It makes this community look like a crappy online form.

Thanks for reading.
