Thanks!

Dragon Weapon Re-Rolls

Posted: 08 Mar 2018 01:15 PM PST

Hey Folks,
 
We messed up, we changed the perks on the Dragon Weapons and didn't tell you we were doing it. Let's talk about the changes we've made to Dragon Weapons and why:
 
When we first released the Dragon Weapons they were able to roll completely invalid sets of perks. They could be very bad (5 grey perks) or absolutely amazing (5 gold perks), but in both cases they did not follow our normal perk rolling rules.
 
We ran a migration to address this in 3.2, as mentioned in this comment . Dragon Weapons/Schematics with an invalid (very good or very bad) set of perks was re-rolled:
 

EDIT (Note): Each weapon in Fortnite:STW is allowed to have many attribute-altering perks but only one of the more involved gameplay-altering perks.

Legendary

  • If the schematic didn't have at least one blue and one gold perk - the item was re-rolled.
  • If the schematic had more than two gray perks, four blue perks, or four gold perks - the item was re-rolled.

Epic

  • If the schematic didn't have at least one blue perk - the item was rerolled.
  • If the schematic had more than two gray perks, three blue perks, or three gold perks - the item was rerolled

 
The system for rerolling perks is actively being worked on, and will empower you to pick and choose which perks you want to change on the weapon. We've started some high level design work on the weapon perk reroll system, it's going to take some time. Here's some initial insight...
 
Our goals for the system:

  • Put control over weapon perks into YOUR hands. Roll a stat you don't like? Change it!
  • Introduce meaningful end-game investment opportunities in weapons past level 30.
  • Introduce clear steps toward perfecting the items you love.

 
Let us know what areas of this system are important to you, the design is very early and work in progress, but we want to keep you updated as to where development stands!

I know ya'll hate us at FortniteBR. But for this one everyone is with you.

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 04:04 AM PST

Okay, look. I saw my friend playing STW once and asked him the game, and he said it was fortnite. So I went home and downloaded the free one thinking it's the game, but when I tried playing it wouldn't let me, so I just tried BR and it was free so I continued to play.

I started being active in forums etc and was happy about the new patch as we got new LTM etc. However I wandered onto the subreddit and found out that your weapons had been reset. I dont need to know how to play STW to understand what stat re-roll is. Im sure it sucks, because 75% of you probably grinded your ass of on the game, and now you have basic guns.

I don't know if this was a purpose update, or a bug. But in the case that is was on purpose:

Our whole subreddit is with you. I know you guys hate us, and BR for effectively killing Fortnite, and actually killing Paragon, and while we praise Epic there, it hurts to see how their attention to us is affecting ya'll, and yes I fucking hate the FortniteBR for mobile because it takes away people from more important things like the 100+ bugs in fortnite. I'm gonna make a post protesting to turn back the new update until your situation is sorted out, because it looks very apparent that Epic is going after just money right now.

I hope you get word from the devs soon. Until then we hope you will get your hard earned rewards back, so we can once again play happily and not feel guilty over ending Fortnite, the reason for our existence.

Peace

A warning to all of you on behalf of the /r/paragon. Get Out

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 02:35 AM PST

Get Out. Now

We warned you multiple times, we were technically brothers due to both of our games being made by epic , but guess what paragon is about to be executed and you are next.

It seems as though your subreddit is on fire, at /r/paragon we are very used to it. We know how you feel and ours was worse as epic chased one of the most difficult and hard to master genres, a moba.Epic manages to fuck things up then attempts to fix it the fucks it up again.

As epic said , "2018 will be big year for paragon" , "2018 release" . I will advise every single one of you to get out now before you regret it.

Think of every thing epic has fucked up in your game and ask yourself are you ready for the upcoming disappointment,grief and anger if STW is closed ? Think hard because you do not want to wait weeks to get your refund or the hassle required. No one will care if stw dies outside of you guys, no one cared outside of /r/paragon and epic will continue making their hit fortnite BR.

Get your refund/Stop spending money

Get out.

Are you serious Epic?

Posted: 08 Mar 2018 07:37 PM PST

So, in the midst of this whole controversy, and in the middle of your game literally being starved for content, you are going to be dedicating man hours to a shitty mobile port?

Are you kidding me? We put all this money into STW on PC and you take the time to flush more of that money into a hole laughing all the way to the bank.

Perhaps instead of worrying about a fourth fucking platform you should update the current game wouldn't you think?

I'm out. Enjoy it, everyone, while it lasts because it sadly just might not.

Epic start listening to your player base!

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 01:47 AM PST

In a game where players are not EVER put up against each other...why nerf guns / heroes. Change something that we have no control over. Idk...maybe the enemies?

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 12:38 AM PST

Seriously though...if our guns / heroes are too "Strong" make the enemies stronger / faster / tankier...etc...

Don't make our weapons / heroes etc... weaker!

If you change the enemies...it is not a direct impact on us...or at least one we cannot visually see when we check our schematics.

Make ice enemies lower our reload...fire enemies lower our accuracy...nature enemies take reduced HS damage...idk something!

Oh and maybe NEW enemies? My 'Husky Potter' Idea from ages ago is still viable. A support husk that converts enemy husks into elementals, summons shielders, quickens enemies...etc..

You should just hire me now epic.

HOW THE FUCK HE GET A LIGHTNING NOCTURNO!?

Xbox One users, Microsoft is listening..

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 04:05 AM PST

Because I didn't buy this game directly through Epic, I decided to contact Microsoft instead and showed them this subreddit, explained that Fortnite was and still is being advertised as completed, as well as all the problems with each patch. I got a refund for the $99 edition of Fortnite (You may need to contact them a few times, it was twice for me). Don't stop trying. I quit Fortnite about a month ago but the latest "patch" today made me put my foot down.

I want to cry. $800 on this game and I log in to see all my schematics ruined. RIP Raider and Ranger you will never keep up with an epic UAH with a Hydra now

Posted: 08 Mar 2018 10:40 AM PST

I'm devastated. I want my money back. My loadoats are ruined. My schematics have rerolls on them. Stat caps have made my 7 mythic leads no better than legendaries IN TWINE PEAKS.

Epic you have just spit in the face of your whales. Literally the worst thing a f2p game could possibly do.

I Feel Exceptionally Bad For Players Who Carried Faith In This Sinking Ship Since Alpha Days

Posted: 08 Mar 2018 04:25 PM PST

It's like watching one of your friends stay in an abusive relationship, just because they have the slight optimism that their treatment would eventually get better over time. It won't. GG STW.

Why Dragon's Fist Hammer is bad - Part 2.

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 06:54 AM PST

A continuation of my post from two days ago about why this weapon is bad, this time I want to point out a bug I just noticed.

Dragon's Fist is not receiving any crit chance buffs from heroes. In the picture in the comments, I'm using Tank Penny with Guardian Bull in support for +40% crit chance to blunt weapons. You can see my Pulverizer is at 92.5 crit chance but the Dragon's Fist remains unchanged sitting at 36.5 (should be 76.5).

As mentioned in my first post, it just feels like there is little/no play testing done with a lot of the new stuff being added in. What's the deal here, Epic?

Quit sucking and remove the level caps.

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 06:58 AM PST

Epic, I don't give a shit why you think this was a good idea. It was a terrible idea. In case you haven't noticed, people are requesting refunds left and right. I personally can live with most of the bullshit, but I spend a lot of time helping friends because I can't get consistent help in Canny or anything other than leechers. Now I can't even help others get to where I am so others can help me. I've spent at least $500 on this game and while it's early access, if I had know you guys were going to be assholes and ruin the game I would have saved my money. I'm requesting a refund next week if you don't get your shit together. Fuck you guys and your game.

Dear Epic,

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 04:09 AM PST

Try doing this:
Before making any changes apart from bug-fixes (not balance related) ASK people what they think of them and whether they have better alternatives (See Warframe)

So to sum up patch 3.2 (just to make sure I'm not missing anything)...

Posted: 08 Mar 2018 04:56 PM PST

  • There is now absolutely no reason to attempt even slightly higher level missions than your stats allow, because they will be monsterously too hard.

  • You are punished for doing lower level missions because they are now very challenging, regardless of how "powerful" your character is (not...due to stat squish).

  • A bunch of good weapons got completely random rerolls and are now worthless.

  • Content requiring Defenders (which are absolutely garbage and a complete and total waste of Hero XP) is now the default way to earn event rewards

  • Expeditions are 100% worthless and basically unusable because even if they give you things that don't go into storage (like people or survivors), they require you to have empty space in storage.

To sum up, in patch 3.2, Epic has said "Fuck your low level missions and your high level missions and your storage and Expeditions and all your really good guns."

Did I miss anything?

Fortnite: My thoughts as a PL 112

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 07:11 AM PST

Hey guys.

Just wanted to share some of my thoughts about the current state and development as a power level 112.

1) the lack of end-game content

In my opinion this is the worst. There is literally nothing to do except grinding for tickets - and even this is boring as hell cuz of the rewards to obtain (i have every hero and every weapon from the current event at least once [most of them are not even worth having], and this is going for another 35 or more days ... uff).

They even skipped the weekly event missions this week - and tbh, this is one of the few things that actually keeps me playing. GIVE ME STH TO DO or I will leave sooner or later (already awaiting the PC release of Monster Hunter World).

I don't need better rewards or similar improvements - I have countless heroes on lvl 50 and 40, most of my survivors and weapons are maxed out.

2) weapon rolls

Well, I have to admit, I wasn't affected. But as the chance to get one of these weapons from a llama is already pretty small AND to get one with DECENT rolls is nearly impossible - all those who are affected have my empathy.

My collection book level is 134, so just imagine how many bad rolled weapons are stuck inside.

There is no need for "uniform" rolls as getting a good weapon is still THE reason for the endless grind, but at least make it POSSIBLE to get one with decent rolls. To be more precise: I completed the whole game and don't have even one good assault rifle with nature or water.

3) Stats cap

After all this endless grind to get this far, all of a sudden I got weaker. WAY weaker. I am used to play with a friend of mine (PL 116). We both could handle lvl 76 missions at 4++ (which means lvl 94) without being forced to invest too much (we've put some traps, but not many).

NOW I am using at least one whole ammo clip (+ all abilities) for one smasher at lvl 87 (= the new missions for 4 players at lvl 87) - depending on the element even more. I am barely able to survive the laser waves and we are struggling to hold back the husks.

I was finally able to play every hero I want to cuz of my efforts to (nearly) maximize my stats: I could switch from Shocktrooper to Fragment-Jess to Power Base. I could literally play every hero I want to, just as I felt like. NOW I switched back to UAH cuz this is the one with the highest dmg-output - and all of a sudden I need this dmg.

So how do I behave? I am barely playing anymore (and I used to play a lot). I switched back to UAH and Dragon and avoid all other heroes. I won't help anyone below Twine - it's just not worth my efforts.

There is not much left which keeps me playing. And I am not the only one - my friend list is already dwindling, and most of them are high-lvl-players as I am.

For the sake of this game: ADD CONTENT and MAKE IT WORTH PLAYABLE AGAIN. And one thing is sure: if I will leave, I won't use an Epic product ever again - nor will I recommend this to my friends.

Open world StW mode

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 07:03 AM PST

All Epic has to do

  • Take BR map

  • Keep Hoverboards

  • Throw in NPC town

  • Spawn husk constantly, levels increase as time goes on, but can start at certain level intervals. (Beats out slow start ups)

  • Smack that 4 player limit up to 16-20 (Optional, but would be cool for high scale battles )

How this mode functions

  • By day, adventure and quest

  • By night, town defense

What can you do in this mode

  • Events to save survivors and recruit defenders into your NPC town.

  • Grab quest from the npcs to adventure out into new territory to defeat a special enemy or gather supplies in order to upgrade town defenses (hp boost, damage boost, turrets, etc).

EndGoal

  • Last as long as possible, or cash out and extract when things get to spicy. To avoid possible disconnects and loss of time, every quest completed should automatically be logged for when you leave the mission. Sort of a progress savior.

  • This is a never ending mode until all players are out, possible to call for reinforcements but only if their power level fit with the current modes level, to avoid throwing lowbies into a high tier game.

Speaking of undocumented changes - Epic Sarah Claus

Posted: 09 Mar 2018 06:49 AM PST

At level 12, the Epic version has Dragon Daze instead of Medicinal Fumes. Dragon Daze didn't even exist during the Holiday event. The other versions of Sarah Claus are unchanged. This is not a visual bug, I used her to test and she actually has this perk now.

I assume this is not intended, but really, how the hell does this even happen? We ask for fixes on existing heroes and instead they go in and screw around with things that don't need screwing with.

Devs, what the heck is going on over there?

Go fix shurikens, go fix Flash outlander, go fix outlanders in general, go fix Energized perk, stop screwing with other stuff and making it worse, please.

So I hear a certain UI bug has been fixed.

They do not care about STW

Posted: 08 Mar 2018 04:19 PM PST

As STW figuratively drowns in a cess pool of stupid, BR gets this.
