Fortnite Repair the Shelter Issues

Repair the Shelter Issues

Posted: 12 Apr 2018 10:59 AM PDT

Hey everyone,

 

We heard your feedback regarding the activation changes in the "Repair the Shelter" mission and in the latest overnight patch we changed it back to how it was before v3.5. In order to do this, we needed to do a server and client update. The server was released during our downtime but before releasing the client we found a critical issue that prevented us from shipping it.

 

Due to this, there is now an issue that prevents players from interacting with the objective, thus making the mission impossible at the moment. We're investigating the issue and we're working to get a fix out as soon as possible!

Update v3.5.1 - April 13, 4am ET (08:00 GMT)

Posted: 12 Apr 2018 06:58 PM PDT

Hey everyone,

We'll be releasing the v3.5.1 update tomorrow at 4am ET (08:00 GMT). This will address multiple bug fixes and require no downtime.

Bug Fixes:

  • 'Building Edit' hotkey can be bound to keys other than 'G'
  • We're changing the Mini-Boss Mission Alerts for Canny and Twine back to their pre v3.5 state.
  • 'Repair the Shelter' objective now activates when you interact with the control panel rather than be based on proximity to the objective.
  • Granted all players two free Spring Llamas (can be found in the Loot tab).
  • We've changed the way we convert event tickets. Players get 1 event Llama per 1000 tickets and 1 Llama for any tickets left over.
  • (Example) If you have 5 tickets left at the end of the event, you still get 1 free event Llama.

Do I have to? They only just got back on!

You're doing a great job epic! (Not sarcasm)

Posted: 12 Apr 2018 04:59 AM PDT

So much negativity going around because the servers got messed up. Most of us understand shit happens that we dont expect. I love the hell out of this game and im very grateful to be able to enjoy a new gaming experience. Keep up the hard work epic. What most of you kiddies who are crying about not being able to collect a damn daily in a game or some shit, its just a game. Epic themselves are losing thousands and thousands of dollars, you think they want the servers to stay down or something? They want this shit fixed and im sure are doing their best. Theres probably some poor IT guy over there whos been getting stressed about this for the last 15 hours too. And epic always does something to reimburse us when this happens, so try and not spread a bunch of hate about their hard work.

Extended Instability and Downtime (4/11)

Please make energy cells cheaper to craft.

Posted: 12 Apr 2018 11:26 AM PDT

Every other ammo type only uses nuts and bolts plus some wood and metal. Energy Cells? That'll be a blast powder and bacon, I hope you don't run out. Doesn't help that Energy weapons either burn through ammo with rapidfire or by using multiple ammo per shot.

Batteries is fine. Make the recipe something like 2 nuts and bolts and 1 or 2 batteries. What the hell else am I using these for? a "rare" material shouldn't be used for an integral ammo.

Ongoing Account Instability

Posted: 12 Apr 2018 07:52 AM PDT

Heya folks,

 

We're sorry for the ongoing extended instability. We had a critical failure with one of our account service databases. As a result, our login and matchmaking systems are unstable. Our team has been working through the night on fixes in order to bring the game fully back up. Right now we don't know how long it will take, but we will update you hourly.

 

Thanks for your patience while we work to resolve these issues.

 

UPDATE 11:45 - We've made progress on our internal investigations and believe we may understand the problem!

 

UPDATE 12:51 Services should begin to recover over the next couple of hours. Due to issues with our account system, players on PS4 will be unable to login for an additional period of time. We're sorry for the extended downtime. We'll update you in an hour.

 

UPDATE 1:45 - We are starting to see improvements across all platforms. More updates in an hour!

 

UPDATE 3:03 - The storm has settled and everything is back to normal. Get back out there and defeat those Husks!

BASE generated resources should be for BASE owner only

Posted: 12 Apr 2018 08:07 AM PDT

Yeah, I know, this sound selfish, BUT it's always been a problem when players took resource from BASE and not used it for building fort, since building is on the constructor. I understand that's not 100% of players guilty and many of you use resource in the right way, but now, when resources aren't caped at 999, those foul players can leech from you for all game long. And disable friendly fire on BASE, what's the point of it? Just a one more opportunity to grief.

7 day Survive The Storm is tedious and unrewarding vs time consumed.

Posted: 12 Apr 2018 02:06 PM PDT

It really is dragged out. Map is really cool but the amount of time you spend i return for what you get is borderline insulting. 1000 tickets to have a spin on a low llama is also again, borderline insulting.

I liked the other events way more than this.

The New Sniper Rifle Seems to be bugged.

Posted: 12 Apr 2018 04:18 PM PDT

Today i tested the new sniper Rifle and the concept of this weapon is amazing. I don't mind using the energy ammo since snipers in general doesn't consume much ammo (i know it takes 3 energy ammo) yet that is ok.

However i have upgraded it to lvl 30 to test it out and it seems to have the same DMG as my "one shot" sniper. It seems to be this new sniper doesn't do HeadShot DMG. i have tried it multiple times and body shots do as much as head-shots.

Would love if anyone in the Sub-Reddit tested it as well and check if this happens to everyone and if its an actual bug. the Crit in this weapon seems to be working fine. Would be happy if this was just a bug and will be fixed cuz the concept of this weapon is really cool and fun to use.

[Guide] So You Want to be a Magical Girl/Guy: Transformations for Progression & Manuals.

Posted: 12 Apr 2018 04:27 PM PDT

So you want to learn how to transform to save the world from aliens Husks? Trying to Evolve but lacking enough manuals/designs? You've come to the right place.

d('-')

Here's a guide & some tips & tricks to transformations (Specifically focused on Rare transformations as these are your biggest source of Training Manuals/Trap Designs & to a lesser extent Weapon Designs which are needed for progression.)

Before we begin:

0) Feel free to ask questions here.

1) NEVER recycle Epic Defenders/Heroes. Epic Defenders/Heroes make for excellent transformation fodder for Legendary Trap/Weapons transformation keys. This is better than using Epic traps (which may be useful) or Epic Weapons (which are worth less points & therefore can't actually be used to make Legendary Traps without putting in higher tier transformation fodder to make up for it.) Especially with the Legendary transformation key alerts in Canny/Twine, it's better to just stockpile them & convert them into Legendary stuff.

2) AVOID using Rare [Hero/Defender/Weapon/Lead Survivor] transformations. (Only use Rare Survivor and Rare Trap transformations). This is because Hero/Defender/Leads costs more transformation points but rewards the same amount of Training Manual (1 per rare) which means you're wasting transformation points. Also because any hero/defender is better acquired from llamas/events/store/SSDs/etc.

Why Rare Trap transformations? Because you may run low on Trap Designs which takes the most transformation points per Design out of the 3 (compared to Training Manual and Weapon Design). Also because the game is far more likely to reward Rare weapons than Rare traps from Mini Llamas, events, etc & because you'll generally need more Trap Designs than Weapon Designs. If you somehow end up without enough Weapon Designs you're evolving too many useless weapons and/or you need to farm more SSDs and/or you might consider putting more resources into Traps.

3) ALWAYS recycle Rare Survivors. This is your primary method of acquiring Training Manuals & they are pretty bad transformation fodder for anything higher (they even suck for Epic Survivor transformations since you lose more Training manuals than you put in.....Rare weapons are better fodder for Epic Survivor Transformations).

4) I highly recommend choosing Trap Designs when offered a "Pick 1 of 3" manual reward because Trap Designs are the most "valuable" while Weapon Manuals & Training Manuals are far easier to acquire in bulk.

5) FAVORITE anything you consider important/don't want to lose so that you don't accidentally use it as transformation fodder. Favoriting an item means you can't select it for transformation.

6) There are "tiers" of Transformation points. In order from Highest Worth to Least Worth (This is important as you can only slot 5 items max for transformations. If you are still lacking enough points with 5 slots filled then you need to replace something with a higher rarity and/or higher tier):

Heroes

Defenders

Traps

Weapons (both melee & ranged are worth the same)

Lead Survivors

Survivors

7) Fortnite's Whale Package (Ultimate) gives access to unlimited Epic transformations which makes the grind much, much easier. But I assume most of us are on a much smaller budget/F2P so I won't discuss the Whale Package.

8) Throw the first of every Grey/Green/Blue item into the collection book. Most are not even worth using (except for Rare Wooden Floor spikes as they cost half as much herbs, so you might want to keep a decent Rare Wooden Floor Spike). You will eventually get more if you run enough SSDs but you may not encounter a specific item in a long time (It took me several hundred mini llamas before I encountered a Green Axe......)

Alrighty lets begin:

What you need to Transform: You will need to unlock the Rare Survivor Transformations (Found in Skill Tree 1) & Rare Trap Transformations (Found in Research Tree 2) as well as sufficient Transformation fodder which can be farmed via SSDs, events, & llamas & Soylent Green People (best farmed via Search for Survivor missions).

A) Rare Survivor Transformations require 30 transformation points & 25 people to make a Rare Survivor. There are several ways to reach 30 such as 2 Grey defenders + 1 Green Survivor (or 2 Grey survivors) or even 2 Green Weapons (16 points each, will go over by 2 but that's fine.).

The important thing is that you can't go under 30 (or else you end up with a Green Survivor instead of a Rare which can't be Recycled into Training Manuals.

B) Rare Trap Transformations require 93 transformation points & 150 Research Points. Easiest way to reach this number is by 5 Green traps. (Using anything lower on the transformation tier doesn't work too well since traps are too high on the tier.

C) Eventually when you have "enough" of one type of manual (typically weapon designs for most players) you can use Rare Transformations to inefficiently "convert" weapons <--> traps <--> survivors for whatever manual you need.

Common combinations for Rare Survivor transformations:

2 Green weapons (16 + 16) = 32. (it goes 2 points over but it works)

3 Grey traps (10 + 10 + 10) = 30 exact.

3 Grey Weapons/Green Lead Survivors (8+8+8) + 1 Green Survivor/2 Grey Survivors (6) = 30 exact.

1 Green Weapon (16) + 1 Grey Weapon (8) + 2 Grey Survivor/1 Green Survivor (6) = 30 exact.

1 Rare Weapon (40) = (used to convert Weapon Designs into Training Manuals after you have "enough" weapon designs)

Thank you for the better repeatable seasonal gold quest

Posted: 12 Apr 2018 05:03 PM PDT

It may seem minor, but i love that the seasonal gold quest for 100 gold is now awarded for doing 2 missions, rather than run around and get 40 envelopes.

The envelopes always took at least 2 missions anyways, but required actively running around and collecting them. So if the mission took to long, your your team started it to soon, it could prevent you from completing the quest every second mission.

This way regardless, of if we take our time, or rush through, we can get that 100 gold every other time, really nice QOL thing to me.

Checking both Fortnite subreddits today for server updates has me thinking...

Posted: 12 Apr 2018 08:28 AM PDT

Hey everyone,

While we have a little time to reflect on our sad lives while the game is down, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this sub and the (smaller than BR) community. I always know that the StW sub is somewhere I can come (usually just lurk) and nerd out about stats, number, and stuff with other people who love the game. This sub if filled with meaningful game suggestions, fixes, and all-around helpful comments that really show you're thinking critically about the game. The BR sub is just memes and skin suggestions of streamers and EDM stars who I've never heard of.

To each their own, but this is the sub for me!

Thanks guys, and keep it cute :]

Epic deserves more Positivity

Posted: 12 Apr 2018 09:07 AM PDT

I'd like to point out to people that Epic is running a business. Working off the clock to fix these issues nonstop and losing sales (ie, vbuck transactions) is not what they want to do. Every hour they are not up, they are losing money. People on this sub are complaining about how long it's been and whatnot, but it's not like Epic aren't doing their best to resolve these issues.

I'm happy their making progress, for our sake and theirs. They must be exhausted.
