Fortnite - Chapter 2
- Thread starter Gowans
- Start date
No idea if the shooting got even worse, if it's the netcode shitting itself or there's a new influx of cheats thanks to extended crossplay, but so many of my hits simply don't connect, with enemies hitting me even when their shots go right by me or through a wall. Last I played it wasn't like this so no idea what's up. Seems like a weak update so far, on paper there's cool additions and the progression system is finally not too grindy but eh.
I played around 2 games of Fortnite BR when it first released and not since. Looking at videos of the new update the exp bar has me interested. I love games where you play to progress and gain exp, I find it relaxing. So Fortnite looks like something that you can just play and not really have to win to get something out of it, but a type of MMO where in each game you race to power up (reminds me of MOBAs, R.I.P. Paragon, I miss you).
That single exp indicator has me very interested, what does getting levels do? Do you need the battle pass?

The Slurp skin continues the tradition of the non-human characters being the best ones to do mime, hand signals, present, and all the other hyper expressive emotes with.
This guy almost beats Dire as the best one for emotes.
STW needs a FFXIV-like complete makeover. Get rid of the survivor bullshit, the tedious fucking grind, maybe make it more of a Diablo style game. Random gear and loot, limited time bottle levels like in Torchlight, more things to do when building your base. Completely wipe all the bullshit micromanaging shit.

Yeah, you pretty much need the battle pass. It gives you skins, emotes, pick axes, back blings etc. If you plan on playing the next seasons too, it's pretty much a one time fee since you earn enough V-buck through the battle pass to buy the next one.
Ther is now ay to replay that intro somehow? I need to replay it in the way after cutscene then jumping directly to themap like before and play. It was fun.
2nd game in and I got 3 kills. These players sucked.
Is this the SBMM? Or just luck. It was squads and my teammates were human at least. Pretty sure my enemies were too

I would actually try the game if building wasnt in it, but I have no interest in it otherwise unfortunately
it looks like a good update though, will be interesting the feelings after a couple days, the last 3 or 4 updates have all been universally panned it seems like

Yep. They fill lobbies to make games quicker and are apparently more of them the worse you are.
Jesus this is fucking rough!
even team rumble seems like I'm just up against PC players now who can just snap aim straight onto me and melt me
at this moment in time I'm not sure I'm buying the pass

I had this complaint late last season where all of a sudden Team Rumble got super sweaty, and I'm 90% sure it's because it doesn't have sbmm so people who don't want to sweat in core modes but are good and want to clap bad people play Rumble now. I get 1 shot significantly more in Rumble than I do in Solos right now lol
Just watch them in replay mode.. should be easy to determine there.
They are pretty likely players.
So Im wondering if its just luck or just SBMM or what
Yeah but I'll take it. The into one didn't count in the career numbers. I know the bots are going to taper off but really, unless I'm on arena I play Fortnite for the silly. I'd love about 20 percent bit going forward. That way if you find a bit squad you can mess around with them then buckle down for the second circle and on. I've had a lot of fun today.
Having a blast killing fellow noobs. Man I wish I could enjoy this game to its fullest
I still completely freeze up when I have to build

this is especially wild to think about when you consider that the game is still in early access and has been in development since 2011
maybe it'll be "finished" for it's tenth anniversary
The grin on my face when the cinematic transitioned right into a match followed by the horror of whatever the fuck this patch did to the aspect ratio...also the realization that they reset my settings Epic why?!
Man the slurp skin was sooo close to being my favorite skin but there isn't a green variant. I could have truly been the green slime king. I guess they're bound to use the base model again in the shop for a new skin.
member: 27751"] because I've found it perfectly reasonable to play without building a single thing. The map design is actually one of the things I've found Epic has nailed above and beyond any other competitor because of one reason: it's built around both playstyles. The fact I can play a match from start to finish and build nothing says it is possible to add a side mode or have matchmaking look at that aspect.
It isn't bad to have the opinion that building in Fortnite is atrocious and actually hampers what could be a good gun-skill orientated game. That's my opinion and I'm struck with awe at seeing others play building and poop structures out. I wish I could learn but if just doesn't click with me, though I also know my opinion isn't defining of what Epic should listen to.

It's probably way more likely we'll get other color styles(and yes, most definitely green) from challenges somewhere down the line.
I feel like I've called this out a dozen times but this is so spurious. Original Fortnite BR was not remotely oriented around the style of building that the poster you're responding to mentions. The slogan was indicative that this was a Battle Royale game where you can build forts as much of their marketing from the time makes clear. Fortnite BR today is a completely different thing that manifested when Epic saw how much people enjoyed aspects of building they likely didn't consider in the first place, and the building oriented combat is hugely facilitated by the changes Epic have made to the game particularly starting with Season 3.
Nothing against those who prefer the modern Fortnite to what it used to be, but the notion that it was always this way or intended to be this way is completely counter to fact.

There must be bots, I just won my first game, the hot drop one from the intro!
Not one person I shot at built an Eiffel tower in a split second! Not one! It was glorious :) long live bots!
