There should be Plankteron, Canny Valley, Twine Peaks exclusive chatrooms

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 02:45 PM PDT

Majority of traders are players in Stonewood. They don't understand they waste their time by doing high level missions instead of mission that advances their quest line. They don't understand getting high level weapons is near worthless if you are weak. They don't understand they are trading valuable ressources away (nuts and bolts, herbs).

If there was a Canny Valley exclusive chat it would be easier to find people. Noone wants to invite a Stonewood player to their Canny Valley Storm Shield Defence.

The reporting system is being abused (who knew)

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 07:13 AM PDT

So yesterday I choose to complete my hold the door 13 challenge. I type into global that I would like to help with ssd, followed by 6 or 7 invites. First 2 are traders (big surprise) but the third one, I get the invite to ss in Stonewood with a full 4 player team. I got a little excited because this might actually be a ssd. Should've known better. I get to the base and immediately get going to the first place I know the husks are going to spawn. Two of the kids are following me and shooting at me. Then the mics come on. They all start yelling at me to get into the trade booth. One of them says to the others "let's report him too". TOO? I wonder how many players have been reported for trade scams that just wanted to complete a challenge? There ought to be an age/PL setting in there somewhere so we can choose to actually play Fortnite without all the toxicity. I'm done bitching now.

She isn't just a survivor. She decided to defend the helpless and got a defender!

Can we please do another poll like this?

What if the hoverboards had an attractor/vacuum function that could attract/acquire loose piles of materials as you cruised over/near them?

Storm Shield Facilities

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 07:55 AM PDT

Well, normally I just stick to the Fortnite forums, but I was encouraged to toss the idea here too to try and get some traction. Figured why the heck not.

The basic idea is being able to transform the Storm Shield amplifiers into specialty buildings which provide various resources over time. The production isn't meant to eliminate the grind, but to help cut some of the edge of it. Each facility can be upgraded to enhance its performance or generate additional things. They can also be reverted back to an amplifier for a small amount of resources, so that obsolete facilities can be removed and then replaced by more relevant ones.

While each facility has periodic yields, a player can spend resources on a facility to fill a boost bar. The higher the material rarity, the more it fills the bar. The bar either drains over time and decreases the time before the facility gives yields, or it is reduced in segments when the facility completes a cycle and boosts the yield output. This would also take a bite out of some of the Trading drive, as now all materials are still useful to the player.

In addition, this could lead to occasionally launching "Imminent Attack" missions where husks are attacking one of your facilities. If you do not do the mission in time, or you fail the mission, the targeted facility is damaged; it loses a tier and any progress it has stored, or is flat out destroyed if it was at tier 1.

As for the facilities themselves:

Survivor School Generates a small amount of Survivor Experience.

Training Ground Generates a small amount of Hero Experience.

Technician Lab Generates a small amount of Schematic Experience.

Research Lab Generates a small amount of Research.

Recruitment Center Generates a small amount of People.

Tinkerer's Workshop Generates a small amount of Re-Perk. At highest tier, also generates Perk-Up, its rarity based on the storm shield's location.

Machinery Shop Generates Nuts'n'Bolts. At highest tier, also generates Mechanical Parts based on location.

Greenhouse Generates Herbs. Upgrades allow it to generate Flowers and Honey.

Refinery Generates Rough Ore. Upgrades to generate Quartz and Powders based on location.

Lumber Mill Generates Planks. Upgrades allow it to generate Coal and Twine based on location..

Education Center Allows you to reroll a survivor's bonus. The highest survivor rarity you can affect is based on the Storm Shield's location. At highest upgrade, allows you to pick the survivor's bonus but takes significantly longer to finish.

Psychologist's Office Allows you to reroll a survivor's personality. The highest survivor rarity you can affect is based on the Storm Shield's location. At highest upgrade, you can choose to pick the survivor's personality, but takes significantly longer to finish

Maybe new minigun for soldiers coming? Laser cannon?

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 12:18 PM PDT

I am even happier.

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 03:42 AM PDT

So this morning, I accidentally entered my Stonewood Storm Shield, and miraculously, I was able to launch the defense. But, request for help was still greyed out so I soloed it. Love you TEDDY.

And then, Since I completed the SSD 10, I could do whatever I wanted. So I asked on global chat who could help me destroy my SS. I ended up with a PL15, Pl34 and PL92. And we destroyed everything in about 20 min. I had placed low walls on all the map. They didn't even asked to be paid.

And as We finished, the PL92 asked me if the footbal stadium was still there. And so we played some football for about 15 min. Final score 5-3. Well, Ninjas won as they have 10% speed increase, and it does a lot.

As Alerts had changed, we went to the Stonewood one, and the PL34 told us. "Well, someone is gonna have to be fat."

We ended up as a full contstructor. Power, Heavy, Double Demo.

And now we are good friends.

Stop low levels from leeching high level missions.

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 08:28 AM PDT

i had the same problem for end game at plankerton thinking once i'm at canny it will be more chilled but nope. I'm on the 70+ quest line and every mission i join is full of level 40s and 50s who just farm the location, i've tried changing location, LFG, different missions out of the three i can pick from, i've waited for the missions to reset after 5 hours and in the end i still join low level rats leeching the map then leaving. please make it so you need to be at least 10 levels near the mission requirement to be able to join.

Brief Explanation on how Horde Bash works.

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 02:11 PM PDT

Note that I may also miss some things it has been a while some my memory is foggy. Add any info in the comments and I will Edit the post.

From the start

Horde Bash is a Defense mode that is some what the same as Category 4. but the difference is:

  • Each player builds their own base before the mission has begun (So you will see many different set ups)
  • When you get ready to play, there are I believe 10 waves. Each wave will choose a base to attack and only that base for a short duration of time.
  • Each wave may come with a modifier just as you see in Storm missions. Depending on the level of difficulty you will have more then 1 modifier. 1 modifier will be selected and stay for every wave as other modifiers may change through out each wave.
  • At the end of each wave you will be given materials such as: Wood, Stone, Metal, crafting materials, Ammo.

Important stuff to know:

  • You may not bring already crafted Items such as weapons or traps into the defense mode.
  • You also can not bring crafting materials, building materials or ammo.
  • A base set of Building Materials, Crafting Materials and Ammo will be given to you at the beginning of the event mission.
  • You may bring only your schematics, heroes, defenders
  • You will also need schematics of each lvl ie. Lvl 10, 20, 30, 40. As for each zone you play in you may only get a certain lvl of crafting materials. example: You can't get Malachite in a Stonewood Zone.

There is a Separate Skill tree for Horde Bash that will appear once the event has started.

*The skill tree is separated in 4 different sections for each difficulty zone. *After completing the mission you will receive a skill point for that specific zone you played in. Missions will tell you what you will receive (there is a daily cooldown for how many skill points you may receive per 24 hours)
*Skill tree perks include: More building materials, crafting materials, ammo, (Don't remember the rest)

Q/A HERE:

  • Q: Will the Halloween event Heroes/Schematics such as "Skull trooper" or the "Grave Digger" return for Horde Bash?

    A: No it will not, Those were a Holiday event for Halloween, Those skins may or may not come back for Halloween again. (I do not know) Also I doubt the Scavenger Heroes will come back for this event as well because this will fall on the 1 year Anniversary for Fortnite (WOOO) So I am sure they have a whole new layout for us. :D

  • Q: Why can I not bring my guns I made already into Horde Bash?

    A: The mode was designed to be a challenge and to work together in a short period of time. Bring over leveled guns will cause a slight advantage to the mode.

  • Q: How easy or hard is Horde Bash?

    A: Depending on your PL level it can be a challenge or a cake walk. Higher PL Defenses can prove to be challenging for even the higher/maxed out PL players as well. As there will be many modifiers the higher difficulty you go into Horde Bash defenses.

Hope this helps. any other questions I will add into the post as well so that anyone may see it and find their answer right away :)

Hey Epic, can you do something about these two?

Refresh the Event Store

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 08:52 AM PDT

With the addition of the Perk-Up and Re-Perk being added to the Event Store, it has provided a much more useful deposit for Event Gold, however, as you know, the Event Store only resets upon new events. The current Blockbuster event has been split in to four parts spanning nearly two months already (And still set to last for the majority, if not the rest of July as it will remain until v5.0); this in my opinion is rather annoying to have this event drawn out to such an extent.

I would propose that upon the final part of the Blockbuster event being implemented, that the Event Store items are refreshed (But still keeping the Heroes that have been added to the game during this event (8-bit, Chromium/Diecast, Archaeolo)) as right now, and probably for a month prior, many of us have already acquired everything in the Event Store as well as the Weekly Store, and continually sitting at 5,000 Gold waiting for Weekly reset.

I believe this would be beneficial towards not only the remainder of the Blockbuster event, but also for future events that Epic decide to split in to parts as to provide another reason for players to keep playing rather than blitzing through the event quest line and then slowing the pace continuing with their campaign progression, or just taking a break entirely.

This shelter will be harder to repair than I thought...

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 02:12 PM PDT

Didn’t they fix this?

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 12:48 PM PDT

TIL you can check the LV 25 perk without the need to spend the flux with the upgrade... Don't pass a non-legendary weapon with an element without checking it first... It might be the one you want...

Posted: 25 Jun 2018 02:20 PM PDT

Am I seeing this correctly
