I seriously don't understand these Traders/Scammers... Posted: 04 Mar 2018 11:12 PM PST So I somehow ended up watching a video that appeared in my recommendations, to see what the big deal is about trading. Then led to a few other videos. Literally everyone of them sounded like they were 12 years old. They constantly accuse the other person of scamming lol They are carrying around dozens of weapons varying from 1 to 5 stars. Most of those weapons look like they came from storm chests and have zero perks on them 😆 then they read off dps not knowing that the damage varies from person to person with different offense levels. Btw am I the only person who runs around with never more than 4 or 5 currently built weapons? Why the hell carry 30+ guns at a time??? It makes no sense, half those weapons are complete garbage with zero perks. Plus Id rather save that space for Mats or Traps. Lastly the huge majority of these people look like there still in stonewood and barely touched plankerton. PL1 to PL20s.. Yet they are carrying around PL82 and PL106 weapons... Maybe something changed in the 2-3 months Ive been away, but haven't they heard of Max Weapon Efficiency level? Those weapons would be so scaled down to the point a PL58 weapon would do exactly same damage 😂😂😂 I can't.. Can't begin to understand their little brains. One of them wanted to trade for ammo because he was "too lazy" to make it. Lmao, seriously? You guys spent 20 mins arguing back and forth trying to trade, in that same amount of time I couldve ran a private mission and got enough materials for 2x to 3x the max amount of medium bullets. So.. THIS is what is infesting our Global Chat? Preventing us from helping each others SSDs or in general chatting about the game. Yeah.. Facepalm submitted by /u/doctorwhomafia [link] [comments]

Aggressive Traders Posted: 05 Mar 2018 04:53 AM PST I recently picked up Fortnite and really love the game. I've been pretty lucky halfway through Plankerton with the players I've been matched with. I don't mind the global chat or trading in general, but lately it's been frustrating. I've had numerous players follow me around asking for trades. Two of them this weekend almost made me quit games because they were walling me in. I was trying to save survivors pretty much alone and a guy thought it was funny to wall me in when speaking to survivors. Even after I told him I didn't have much of what he wanted. Really annoying when they are asking for stuff like nuts and bolts while surrounded by cars. Feels like there isn't much that can be done to combat this atmosphere. submitted by /u/DropTheory [link] [comments]

SSD matchmaking subreddit exclusive r/fortniteSSD Posted: 05 Mar 2018 07:21 AM PST Hey guys, this subreddit (r/fortniteSSD) will exist exclusively for SSD matchmaking and friend making purposes. EPIC wont give us a SSD only quick match so I'm creating this subreddit for this reason. It is a subreddit where you can search for help and also offer your help on Storm Shield Defence missions. I'm new to modding and would like some help improving and making it bigger, so any help is apreciated. submitted by /u/OwenRivers [link] [comments]

There was many attempts with my card. Posted: 05 Mar 2018 05:27 AM PST I've noticed this sub talking about hacking. Accordingly, it reminds me very suspicious transactions attempted within last weeks. In february, I thought I've lost my card which was linked to epic account. So, I called the bank to suspend my card and got a new card with a new number. And, interesting things are happened. I use SMS service which informs me any actions with my card or account. Since 2018/02/21 and until yesterday, that service tells me overseas transaction is declined cause it's reported for stolen. And i have only a few accounts linked to that stolen card. amazon and epic games. Amazon's works just fine. I even purchased a item yesterday at there. At this point, I should tell you I live in Asia. English is not my mother language. So, most of my accounts bounds in my country. Back to the transaction attempts, from 2018/02/21 to 2018/03/05, I got 6 messages regarding overseas transactions. I didn't even bother to ask about them from the banker. Because I already reported that card missing, thus that card has no validity. Now, I'm quite confident my account information has been stolen. EPIC, this is very serious. I didn't lose any money, but this should be handled ASAP. submitted by /u/GloomyFelid [link] [comments]

The nerf of lower regions for higher Players - Feedback Posted: 05 Mar 2018 04:54 AM PST Hey I finally got time to try this out with my friends and it seem to me pretty unbalanced. I was playing with my Friend (lvl 70 in twine, myself lvl 70 in canny and another friend lvl 40 in Plankerton). First we did lvl 64+ missions for my quests and for the two lvl 70 of us it was pretty easy (hell I wish I could progress faster through the story, but anyway off topic). Of course for our lvl 40 friend it was kind of hard and he died easily if unprotected. So far so good, no real change was noticed. Then we decided to help our lvl 40 friend to do the Server mission in Plankerton (you know the one you only have to do one with those 4 servers). However we failed the mission at first, because we built just a few defence walls and a few traps (upgraded lvl 30 traps). While the traps worked pretty okey, my friend and I (pl 70) did barely damage with our 104 and 82 guns. Okey then we decided to build more and finished the mission, but we spent triple the amount of pl 30 traps and all our materials to build a trapped fort around one of those servers, because we as players did literally not even the damage of the traps to the husks. This is a terrible nerf, since after this mission my friend pl 70 and I decided to never ever do low level missions again. It does absolutely not pay off for helping lowbies. We already did not get really much rewards for helping in low levels, but it was easy at least so it was acceptable. NOW you dont really get rewards, you use up all your high level guns (which still break super fast), which cost you Tier 3 or 4 materials to craft (and you dont get those in lower missions), you use up all your ammunition and your tier 3 and 4 traps, which are already super hard to gather enough materials to use them in missions. Ergo: our lowbie friends will play even more in higher level missions, because we will refuse to go down. If I apply this to the community you will even more see lvl 4 players in lvl 70 missions and such, so this nerf is completely contraproductive to fight the afk and leeches. I dont want to just rant, so I want to place a suggestion. The goal of this nerf was to make it harder for lowbies in higher missions. So they rather play their missions / in their level than hop into exorbitrary high missions and annoy people there. Suggestion: My friends and I were discussing this and came up with the following suggestion. How about you can only join XX level higher missions when playing with randoms. Like for example, when you are in stonewood, you can join missions max 10 level above your powerlevel. If you are in plankerton it is 15 level, if you are in canny it is 20 level and if you are in twine there is no limit (as long as twine is the final region). If you play private missions you do not have a cap like this. If you are in a party as lvl 4 and your friend with the lead wants to join a lvl 30 mission with randoms, it will kick you out due to too high level of the mission. But if he does the same in a private mission it wont kick you. If you are within this range you dont get kicked of course and if you play with a party of 4 you have to go to private mission if you want to play with this much level differences (since if someone gets kicked out it will not be replaced by a random). Negative effect: Some programming for the lobby has to be done. Positive effect: No more lowbie people in too high missions with random players. No more dragging lowibies into high missions and leave (because they would not even be able to enter the lobby). People are still able to play with their lowbie friends, but not on the costs of random players. Less leeching, since they can not grab high tier mats by just afk in high missions (unless its private missions). High leveled players are still able to help out low level friend or randoms, without risking all their hardly grinded materials in the high level missions ( a big plus there would be to be able to craft any gun/trap which are leveled in their lower versions, so you could actually make use of the mats you get while helping lower people). Effects: The community would calm down pretty much, sure there will be still afk or leeching, but not by low level people in high levels. Ps: yeah I searched for a topic but did not find one anymore, too much topics about comparing schematics submitted by /u/aeonra [link] [comments]

New dev roadmap? Soon? Posted: 05 Mar 2018 07:17 AM PST I think we can all pretty much agree that getting the dev roadmap at the beginning of the year was pretty reassuring for the player base and gave us all some sense of relief on the state of the game. The info on that roadmap ran through this week 3/8. Will we be getting a new roadmap with new info on what to expect next week and the couple months to come? Epic, you guys have been doing better with communicating with the player base and we appreciate that, please keep it up. submitted by /u/blueruckus [link] [comments]

No response from customer support, missed on the 50% sale Posted: 04 Mar 2018 12:46 PM PST Around a week ago while Save the World was half off on PC, I tried purchasing it to play with a couple friends. While trying to add a payment option, it kept giving me the error "Sorry, create payment method failed. Please contact customer service." So I submitted a ticket and waited. Very quickly I got a response from "WyvernAttacke" to which gave me a copy pasted response from their FAQ about payments being declined, which might I point out wasn't my issue to begin with. Ever since then I haven't gotten anything back. It's frustrating that the sale is now over and I'll have to pay full price if this ever gets fixed, but the worst part is how my ticket seemed to do nothing at all. It feels like I'm trying to buy groceries at a grocery store and the cashier is refusing to swipe my card, and when I approach anyone else in the store they just turn the other way. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Case #2151692 submitted by /u/boo5599 [link] [comments]

Worth upgrading weapons to Malachite? Posted: 05 Mar 2018 04:00 AM PST So I recently got to Canny Vally, and I'm not sure whether to stay using silver weapons or upgrade to Malachite. Also I'm struggling a little bit with Simple Mechanical Parts, and higher tier weapons use Sturdy's, which I have loads of. Are Malachite weapons really worth the Malachite early Canny? As you're not getting loads of them? submitted by /u/christos94 [link] [comments]

Caught up on HAWP Posted: 05 Mar 2018 06:30 AM PST One of the biggest reasons I liked this game is the superb voice acting (and scriptwriting, obviously) for RaY's character. It was tough slogging through Canny Valley and into Twine Peaks without her, but I'm looking forward to continuing the storyline with her. Over the weekend, I decided to peruse some of the "Hey Ash Whatcha Playin?" series? Good stuff! But, now, I'll die happy if I just hear RaY, just one time, cut in with "titties titties titties titties." That girl is hilarious! submitted by /u/iamsplendid [link] [comments]

Sniper defender and Crossbow Posted: 05 Mar 2018 01:09 AM PST I'm curious, how well does the sniper defender use the crossbow. When aiming; is it down sight, does the sniper take the dip of the projectile into account. I haven't got the crossbow just yet but want to know if I should save my exp and mats for it. submitted by /u/serravok [link] [comments]

Is the dragon fire shotgun worth it? Posted: 05 Mar 2018 04:05 AM PST I've been saving up gold for skirmisher Sarah, but I don't know if I should buy the dragonfire shotgun. I already have the dragon ar, and I heard that the dragonfire is "the poor man's tiger jaw". It also doesn't seem that great for a fire weapon, being that when you get hit by nature husks, you lose stamina. submitted by /u/Harmfulcolours [link] [comments]

Once you spend some time in this game you are going to realise it's made to milk the players. Posted: 04 Mar 2018 11:16 AM PST I've been playing for a couple of months now, I've had my fun, although this game is not made to have fun but milk the player. I'm a little frustrated about the progression system (unfair and pay to progress). Also Epic Games, in the latest AMA, didn't reply any question related to the players concerns about the progression and llama system, so my hopes and expectations are pretty low. To further aggravate the situation the post history in this subreddit looks bad, and appears that nothing has been done or is being done to change this situation. Example: I feel bad for this game/my friends/the invested devs You can find more like that just looking at the top post in this subreddit. r/FORTnITE/top/ (worth a look to know what was and are top unresolved priorities of the players). Probably I have to move on... it's not a game worth playing anymore once you spend some time in it.

Why is there no health regen outside of combat ? Posted: 04 Mar 2018 01:12 PM PST Hi, relatively new player here. After one week, as i've already read about and seen for myself an absurd amount of what i'd call dumb game designs, a few things really struck me the most. The first one being one that quickly got annoying : the lack of health regen outside of gadget / healing pad usage. The gadget having a long cooldown and only giving back around ~25% HP ( probably caused by constructors health pool I guess ), as well as the garbage that the Healing Pad is, is sort of annoying. 80% of the health damage i've ever received was most likely caused by fall damage. A slight fall causing ~20% HP damage quickly gets me at the 30% HP regen threshold. I don't care about fall damage, but the fact i've got to rely on wasting resources on a " regen 15% HP and wait 10 seconds " pad or forever keeping a gadget slot reserved, is something I wish to talk about with other players. So well. Why not just be able to fully regen out of combat, 10 seconds after taking damage ? My other questions were " What purpose does Energy serves ", but it seems there's a rework ongoing ( but i'll be honest I just hope for it to be removed completely ), followed by " Why does a hand-cannon firing sniper bullets does half damage after three tiles ", which probably concerns damage falloff entirely but I should be able to cope with it. submitted by /u/Gardeciel [link] [comments]

Rotating gizmos Posted: 05 Mar 2018 05:06 AM PST Sorry if I'm asking a question that's been asked a lot but when I searched for "rotating gizmos" the posts seemed a little outdated.

Helping others with SSDs Posted: 04 Mar 2018 01:19 PM PST It's pretty common knowledge that, with global chat swamped with traders and "traders", finding help for SSDs is a pain. However, it's not just a pain for those looking for help: it's also a pain for those looking to provide help. Perhaps a way to search specifically for SSDs through the " Play With Others" option would be a good addition. That, or a separate SSD chat just for those looking for/providing help. Anything really. I like helping other players with their SSDs and without an "official" way of doing it, it can be a pain. submitted by /u/JokerEvoker [link] [comments]
