PLEASE EPIC! DO SOMETHING ABOUT GRIEFERS!

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 05:17 PM PDT

For all those jumping down Epic's throat for the update today, we've known exactly what was coming for 2 weeks now because they were open and communicated. Be thankful.

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 08:45 AM PDT

Stop ruining a good thing. It took companies like Bungie 5 years to realize roadmaps were a good idea. We've been given exactly what we were told on that day and that post received nothing but praise then.

I sense a plot to destroy Fortnite

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 03:10 PM PDT

Epic: 'Increased Trap stack limit from 20 to 200.' Me: see you in a week guys....

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 03:22 AM PDT

Well, I guess Epic can take a break after the last patch :p

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 05:25 AM PDT

Epic, Thank you having more and more legendary transform as rewards

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 12:53 PM PDT

When i started playing, legendaries could only come from real money llamas or getting it from certain missions/milestone. it was hard to come by.

For the past few days, I've seen a couple legendary rewards that made my day doing, because everyone was working together to finish the mission.

Haven't been the smoothest road so far, as getting things fixed and getting it ready for it to be free sometime in the future, but updates like this is why I still play. Hopefully, legendary survivor rewards will come, since they are a huge part of end-game activities.

Thank you again.

Epic please add a minimum level requirement

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 05:40 PM PDT

To join a mission it really is needed, Countless times i have been in a mission (70+) and guess what happens PL 20 join. To make it worst first thing they do is ask "Free stuff please". Once that is done they go around and farm the entire map. What do they do with all of that stuff go in chat looking for people to trade. Is this on Epic's radar on things that need to be done? Maybe even ticket speed time?

PSA: Egg Launcher

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 05:24 PM PDT

The Egg Launcher is essentially a proximity mine launcher. You can set down 6 eggs (mines) at a time. What's interesting about this weapon is that you can lay down your 6 mines, then swap out the weapon completely (remove it from your loadout), and your eggs will remain active and ready to blow up any husks. They don't seem to time out as far as I can tell so you can essentially use these as a pseudo-trap when setting up a defense.

Very cool weapon.

I dont know if i should laugh or cry

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 07:27 AM PDT

I can't help but laugh.

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 04:32 PM PDT

I was just in a radar mission (grinding schem xp) and some child shows up to the mission demanding good guns because they got scammed. They continued to call me numerous names including f***t and c*t. It's a shame they didn't realise they just tried to intimidate a 25yr old woman who gave them an earfull in voice chat.

Some children are fucking toxic in this game but it was hilarious hearing them switch from scary to scared within seconds

Bug: Harder to activate Bluglo siphons

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 10:57 AM PDT

Has anyone else noticed that for the past few weeks it has been much harder to activate Bluglo siphons? I walk up to the ghosted image and even though I'm standing right next to it I have to fuss with the exact right location before I can make it spawn.

Epic please make a “Daily Item” shop

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 11:18 AM PDT

Seeing as how the coins you get from daily quests are called "Daily Coins" shouldn't we get daily items instead of waiting a whole week Incase the weekly shop has no items of interest?

Hacked, purchased 250 worth of vbucks

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 05:47 PM PDT

Title says it all guys, a little over an hour ago I was charged three times on my paypal for purchasing $200 dollars worth of Vbucks and the $5 dollar starting edition. Amazingly my password was not changed and I have changed my password and enabled T2A authentication as a result. How do I go about getting these refunded? As a long time user of Epics products I am very frustrated that this happened!

Has anyone else had this experience? I have no idea on how to contact epic in order to fix this issue!

In two separate games (lvl 64) I’ve had a level 10 and a level 8

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 04:35 PM PDT

This is absolutely ridiculous epic. By not setting minimum level requirements you're encouraging these kids to do this and punishing those who are actually trying to play the game.

I made a poll the other day, asking what got you into STW. 44% of people came from BR, almost doubling the population of STW.

Poll result

Battle Royale isn't killing this game, in fact, its doing the complete opposite.

Frontend Crafting Speed

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 08:30 PM PDT

I feel like crafting for 10 minutes when making tons of traps, weapons, or ammo in the menus is a waste of time. When not in-game, the crafting speed should be doubled or even tripled. I don't get why it's not instantaneous in the menus in the first place. It makes sense when you are fighting husks and you need to craft a gun, but staring at menus waiting for my weapons to craft to make sure I'm prepared shouldn't take so long. It seems like a basic QoL change that is needed.

How to beat a high PL level

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 11:06 AM PDT

Edit: If you are viewing this on mobile, the list is numbered from 1-1 for some reason, but it's 1-5 on the PC. Not sure why.

I know this is going to be downvoted into oblivion since the people on this subreddit are very steadfast in their convictions, but I thought this would be helpful to all the ambitious players out there (who are genuinely trying to help).

Last night, I (PL 42) and a group of three other players (all of them PL 40-50) successfully completed a PL 70 deliver the bomb to get the legendary assault transform. It was easy.

Here's how we did it (long post ahead, but tldr at the end):

1. Get Blugo Assuming you are all the same-ish power level, your combined fort stats would make you about pl 50-60. The easiest way to compensate for the gap in pl is to get the boost pylons. Get all of them, it'll save you a lot of resources and give you more survivability and a slight edge in offense.

The easiest way to do this is to use blugo siphons. Turn them on, and run away (don't waste your ammo on husks you don't have to kill). When the siphon breaks, you get 2 free blugo, and there are usually 2-3 on any map.

2. Don't pick stupid fights, don't attempt the storm chest unless all 4 of you are there and you have a good team comp.

If there is a gigantic elemental smasher snoozing on a corner of the map, don't try to kill it. Be grateful that it's asleep. If there are husks standing around something you need, like a siphon or blugo, fire a shot at them, draw aggro, grab the blugo and then run like the wind. You can probably kill them, but it's a waste of ammo. If you're an ability ninja, you cannot kill them, so just run.

3. Traps The first thing I said to my team was: "Hey so we're all a bit underpowered. We're gonna need traps galore," to which they all agreed.

Your traps probably won't do that much damage to these husks, so I recommend using wall/floor launchers, gas traps and floor spikes for the slow, just any cc you could get a hold of. Since most missions are timed, you really just have to work together and kill smashers, while delaying everything else.

Our launcher spawned at an unfortunate location and we couldn't really build a funnel so we just put launchers everywhere and kept the husks at bay.

4. Gadgets

Surprisingly, no one on my team died even once, but I recommend you take banner if no one else on the team does. The building health gives you even more time to delay the onslaught of husks and a perk in skill tree 3 allows you to respawn at the banner which makes it all the more valuable. Heal is highly recommended as even with the pylon boosts you will be taking some damage.

If someone already has a banner, you can take supply drop as it makes building and making traps easier. Thanks to the supply drop I ended the game with a net loss of 200 of each mat and roughly 1000 bullets. Without it I probably would be out of both.

However, if you don't mind farming the supplies (or are playing an outlander), slow field is also very strong as it lasts a long time and it give your team more time to kill smashers and bigger waves.

5. Teamwork If someone on the team is obviously not trying to win, and doesn't want to help you, then just leave the game. If you are all underpowered, you all need to work together, there is no way around this. I was playing a special forces with wukong and havoc as support/tactical, with three elemental rifles and even then husky husks took forever to kill. You need to work together or you won't win.

Tl;dr: If you want to attempt a higher level mission, you need to get all the pylon boosts, avoid fighting sleeping husks, build traps with cc, take banner, heal or supply drop, and everyone on the team needs to be helping. Good luck folks!

Fortnite needs a 'Confirm Purchase' Warning

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 11:04 AM PDT

Hey Reddit, Here's a little story.

I was looking at the store items a few weeks ago and clicked on an emote. Instead of hitting the 'Circle' button to back out I end up hitting Square when I didn't mean. In one small click I became the Proud owner of 'Pure Salt' emote. Which in a way is kind of ironic. Fast forward a few months, my buddy just spent like 1400 vBucks on tiers in the battle pass by accident because he pressed square too. There really needs to be a 'Confirm Purchase' pop up before you get charged.

I think it would avoid of lot of these problems, but in a way we all know fortnite/ Epic just wants our cash.

Anwho Rant over
