First time for everything edition

>What is Fortnite?
It's a 4 player co-op basebuilder/tower defense with lot's of loot and various hero classes.

>Do I have to buy it?
At the moment yes, currently there are various founders packs for sale, starting at $40. It will go F2P next year.

>Where do I buy it?

Figured I'd give this a go. If anyone has any suggestions for the OP post them in here and I'll get them in the next thread. I know the current one is pretty barebones.

also SAVE EVERY NUTS & BOLTS YOU GET THEY ARE NEEDED FOR EVERY AMMO TYPE AND LASER AMMO IS EXPENSIVE AS HELL
>>
>>183573786
>>why are you using your me--
>filename
I don't think I ever used lasers I always sicked to normal ammo and scraped any laser weapons I found same for RPG's and such

I think the only thing you might have to remind people is for anyone who was in the alpha gets a key for someone else along with all the per-order stuff for free
>>
>>183574192
People in the alpha get a founder pack based on how much they spent during the alpha. People who spent nothing just get a discount on the buy-in.

The grind in this game looks astronomical. Just look at the tech trees past level 1. Holy fuck.
>>
So is weapon evolution on the second skill tree? I've been looking around at it and can't seem to find the node.

>>183574810
Yeah it does look like it gets pretty grindy later on. Luckily me and my party got used to grinding back when we played Warframe.
>>
>>183574931
I'm stupid. They're separated by weapon types, I was looking for one node that encompassed all weapons and glossed over the actual ones.
>>
I give up, how do you use the B.A.S.E ability with the constructor. I want to end his quest and never play constructor ever again.
>>
>>183575808
I'm pretty sure it works like a floor trap? it needs a floor space and maybe a roof and a wall touching it
>>
>>183576256
Just a floor and possibly wall. I'm 100% it needs a floor. also requires full energy or to be in 'combat'. I've noticed if i want to put it down before starting the wave it says I can't yet moment I start the wave I can place it any time I want.

do you randomly get the "lootboxes" from missions?

also how is the inventory management when you dont dorp a ton of money for the bigger packs with inventory space?
>>
>>183581543
If you mean the loot crates at the end of a mission its based on the over all points you get plus bonus missions like don't over build or do the mission within 3 days.

It should be fine as long you clean up what you don't use
>>
>>183581662
i mean the pinata things, i just wanna make sure you can get everything with just the standard edition
>>
>>183582607
You can get currency to buy them by completing missions.
>>
>>183582607
some quests give mini pinata's and V-bucks that you can use to buy the normal ones outside of that you can just log in once a day to get mini pianata's and I think v-bucks but I don't know how often they give that now.
>>
>>183583490
So after checking it Seems like the log in stuff doesn't give as many pinata's as it used too but I'm unsure on the daily missions

Only problem I have with the game so far is it's very rare to get good schematics without spending real money on llamas. Otherwise it's pretty good so far.
>>
>>183599191
Make sure to do those dailies for vbucks
>>
>>183599407
They don't give enough. The problem is it seems you can only get schematics from llamas. The fact that in-game chests don't drop them is ridiculous. You literally need to pay to get them or slowly get a few llamas a day and hope they upgrade and then hope you get a schematic that isn't shit.
>>
Do the founder packs become more expensive once the game releases in a couple days? Thinking of dropping 60 bucks to start playing this but I'm a little hesitant as I've heard some people having server issues.
>>
>>183600498
Wish I could offer advice but I started with 11k vb so i forget how much of a pain it is to grind for cash
>>
Do you guys think making a list for people who have legendary schematics would be good? We could take names and schematics down. That way we can trade the mats needed to the schematic holder and get items
>>
>>183600568
I had maybe like 5 minutes of server issues the day early access started. Haven't had any since. This is on PC of course. And no they don't get more expensive but the game isn't "releasing" until 2018.

No like say you build something, then go into your storage. Anything you just built for that session will be wiped. This was confirmed by the devs as a bug.

Basically just go into your storage then leave your outpost then go back in to build.

trading would be cool i feel like there could be a community sprung up from advertising a legendary schematic that you maxxed out and people could potentially give you rare materials or something and have you craft it

there just needs to be some kind of farmable thing that could be used as currency the same way tf2 had metal or diablo 2 had runes

>>183573206
So does Fortnite seem like a game that will last? Or does it seem like it will be a flavor of the month and then over?

Some people are acting like this will be the next minecraft for Youtubers, some people are acting like it is a decent Warframe like video game except you have to pay up front and deal with the f2p business model, and some people are saying the game is boring as fuck.

Contemplating getting this game, and I have a few friends that would play with me, but is it worth it?
>>
>>183613068
probably not tweaked good enough idk anyone who is out of stonewood yet

>>183573206
anyone here play on Xbox?

There are new mission types every zone.
>>
>>183613189
It'll be like most multiplayer games and carve out it's little community. I doubt it'll get huge but I don't see it dying either.
>>
>>183613189
Its f2p in 2018 I never played minecraft but I don't really think its the same thing outside of you being able to build stuff and you can't dig down into the earth outside mine shafts and such but you can go pretty high.

It might be better to line it up next to warframe.
>>
>>183613189
I'd say it's worth it. The starting zone gets a bit boring after a while but starts picking up once it gets more challenging towards the end. And everyone says the further zones are like a whole different game.

so quick question, can I get multiple founders packs? just got a bonus from work and wanna get 2 so I can give some to my friends. Also, how does one get trap schematics since I accidentally sold my only purple one into the collection. I thought it was only the built thing that was put in, not the actual schematic.
>>
>>183615797
They can have some similar abilities but obtained at different levels. Also some sub-classes specialize in 1 ability and neglect the others. For example theres a constructor that focuses on improving decoy.
>>
$40 seems pretty steep for this shit, will it at least be cheaper when it comes out?

>>183617287
Does hero tier determine anything other than basic stats?

This game seems like it has a lot of RNG rolls and I'm worried if I buy it I'll be stuck using a bunch of heroes and guns I hate just hoping to get something I'll find fun.

>>Not a fan of co-op pve games as I hate depending on other people to win and having others depend on me.
its not entirely like that. Most games can be won with just two people. I've yet to find a game that even felt like we needed a lot of assistance.

Came here to ask one question. Is it free to play pay 2 win garbage? Apparently its going free to play at some point in 2018, so I want to know if I'm just wasting my fucking money to play the game early.
>>
>>183621630
It's pay for the CHANCE to go fast. It's not the worst, but it's pretty bad.
>>
>>183623059
Also IMO they should have scaled back the fee to pay elements until it went free.
>>
>>183623059
>>183623231
See thats my concern. I thought it was going to be the awesome Last Stand game I've always wanted. But when a game goes free to play, the primary concern of the dev's becomes "how much of a skinner box can we make the game" instead of how much fun it actually is.
>>
>>183618671
they're fucking trash

don't go more then like 5 feet from the spawn and constantly run out of ammo
>>
>>183621630
Depends on your metric. It's vaguely like a mass effect multiplayer, except progress is much less steady and straight forward.

>>183616301
I think you should pass on this. You can do alright solo, but you probably will get annoyed with the game once you get farther in and the difficulty starts ramping up. For those who hate playing in pick-up groups, this is definitely 'game you play with buddies / clan mates' tier.
>>
>>183620619
Just craft new ones, but before your weapon breaks, recycle it during a mission so you can get some resources back.

you can recycle schematics you level up to get some of the exp back
if you're gonna use it level it up if you want you'll be getting more don't worry

A good blue with good perks on it will last you a while. But for heroes definitely go for purps and yellows
>>

>>
>>183625975
There's not really any harm in leveling up blues and greens. As long as you've making good use of that stuff currently, it won't be wasted.

With Heroes, even if you're not using them directly anymore, they can serve a use in your Squad to provide a bonus, or in expeditions.
Schematics, different tiers use different materials, or at least different amounts of them. So you may find yourself not wanting to invest in a better wall trap when setting up during a mission, when a cheaper one will work just as well.
Survivors, eh. There's a lot of slots for those guys that can eventually open up. So as long as you aren't trying to split XP among too many survivors, it should be alright.

And with any of it, if you find yourself really not needing it anymore, you can send it to your Collections, and the more you've leveled it, the bigger the reward (though you can also level them up after you put them in the Collection to get that extra reward, so you're not missing out on adding it before dumping XP into it).

>>183631135
So far, my only bad pug experience was in joining a random mission, getting put into an Encampment mission that was higher than I had any business being in, and then finding out that me and the only other person communicating (the other two were just wandering the map and harvesting, I guess?) had never seen an Encampments were before that mission, or and didn't know how to work out the order we were supposed to clear them in (we thought we had to manually activate them someone). Turns out, the next one is marked with an exclamation point on the map (as long as someone had explored that area of the map at some point), but by the time we realized that, we had no chance to finish.

Anyone up to help me tomorrow with Shield Defense 6 on PS4? The party invite in game is fucked up and I have to add the people in my friendlist before launching the game.
My base is pretty strong, but I don't have enough ammo to stop all the waves.
>>
>>183634256
Yeah, I know that but what determines the color of their outfits/hair and the skills they have?
>>
>>183635229
Their rarity
>>
>>183635229
They have a pre-established set of skills and looks, what you get as you have figured out, is random, but their abilities and look is not.
I usually play soldiers, and I've got a few that looked pretty different among themselves, and so were their skills, but from what I've seen in the collection, it's already stablished how they look and what they do.

Also, like >>183635489 said, their rarity too, but I think their rarity affects their set of skills, I've been seen some awesome ninjas that were uncommon at best, and I saw in the collection there's an epic version of those too.
>>
>>183635683
Are the weapons the same way? I was thinking of picking this up if there's good focus on loot like diablo or borderlands.
>>
>>183636450
Check the collection book, you can literally see every item in the game
>>
>>183636450
Basically yeah. From what I've seen there are around 20-30 weapons with anywhere from 2-5 rarity levels, and that's not taking the founders weapons, that can only be gotten from founders llamas, into account.
>>
>>183637059
Most weapons, the ones from the founders llamas aren't in the book. I've seen at least 10 different schematics of those too.

I'm impressed.

>>183636450
No, there's a lot, but with low duravility, they last next to nothing, not to mention, you can hardly appreciate the difference between some of them. If you're into looting and collecting, this is not the game for you.
>>
>>183637382
Does the collection just keep giving the same stuff over and over?

Like I'm in the mid 20's and it's basically just been xp, evolution materials, skill points, and the occasional llama
>>
>>183640536
you get some rare crafting materials later but pretty much, yeah
>>
>>183640536
You can check the list of the things you get with the collection. For most levels, you get a random set of things in between levels, but there are certain levels that give better (or more) stuff than the rest. It's worth investing into, I've got a training manual that let me level a rare hero past LV10 and made my life easier early on.

The 50 slot backpack limit early on nearly killed the game for me, having to take 2 minutes every mission just to clean it out gave me cancer.

it really should have been 100 at the start, or make all the white/green level crafting materials stack to 999.

Ghost looking one appears between Shield Defense 4 or 5, can't remember which.

Lot of rng and the hero appearance being pre sent instead of being able to customize is a huge let down, but I'm having a lot of fun building the main base, and the missions are somewhat fun, I just can't wait for the tutorial to be over so I can get onto the next place.

I still haven't seen RNG affecting players, and you can get a good share of E-bucks just by playing, so you'll never run short of stuff to get.
It's kinda tedious you can't unlock by progression whatever you want, but I've been playing a lot with different equipment and it barely makes a difference.
Skills are more likely to make a difference and you can get those by progression, weapons and equipment is kind of a bitch to get, but the game gives you from time to time high tier weapons (not schematics) to go by.
I'd say for a freemium game, you won't feel you're missing out by not paying E-bucks like with others before, but if you want an specific hero or weapon to have, then, you're gonna need a loooot of luck.
This game is a bitch to completionists, kek

I've been getting variants of the soldier class left and right, which is the class I wanted to play the most, and I'm doing alright with the basic entry fee.

Does your pick damage depend on the area your in as well?
Playing with a buddy on low levels and it's not hitting as hard
>>
>>183651559
If it's for source gathering, when you hit, a circle appears that doubles the damage whenever you hit it, and with every hit it moves to a difference location.
It does not works for enemies, but you get a skill that helps you push them back if you're in a pinch.

>>183651423

>>
>>183652402
I haven't got back to a previous zone yet, so I didn't know that. I'm gonna test it out later, but I imagine is for balancing reasons, so you're not that op in previous zones, which partially makes sense.

It's not open world, but mission based, in random (procedural) generated maps. You have your main base which is the closest to have an open part, and even so, it's not very big and there isn't much to do.

you pick these missions and load into them but you're not exactly forced to do the mission but after like 30-40min you'll get auto extracted but by that point the map will be about fully cleared of anything you want
you could just go to a map to refill your resources but at that point it's just as easy to finish the mission and have a chance to get some llamas to open

I dunno, I just feel like it'd get really boring really fast.

Everything I've seen of it makes it look super easy. Sure, later on it might get hard, but is that a hard of "Oh, these creatures and enemies have tons of ways to ruin your day" or is it the hard of "These guys are built like tanks and hit like trucks?"

I just don't see it having staying power.
>>
>>183654896
I wish they'd shut the fuck up though. They're not annoying enough that it's satisfying to hit them, and the hit's too noncommittal to be worthwhile anyhow. The animation on its own is nice though.

also yeah it being too easy in the beginning is a valid complaint though
the first area is only there to show you the ropes and gear you up for the rest of the game, but it will take a several days to beat if you only put in a few hours every day

If there's anything connecting the building to the ground (walls, a staircase, a pillar, a single spindy bridge 50 tiles long) then it will not collapse. As soon as the structure is floating free, it'll all collapse and destroy anything inside of it.

>>183665057
Probably adding more zones, places for top level equipment, balancing stuff. I don't think it justifies a year between EA and F2P launch, especially with a lot of consumers lately not lasting even 3 months in a game before they leave, but who knows, maybe they figure that out.

Buildings cannot free float in the air. As long as there's even one tiny wall connecting the building and the ground, they're fine, but the second the structure is free floating, the whole thing collapses and destroys everything inside.

Don't listen to the moron about the servers, beyond some initial instability this is the first time they've gone down since release. But yeah no harm in waiting, you'll just be behind on full release.

First time the servers have been down and it's scheduled maintenance at 3:00 am est. I think it's safe to say the servers are pretty stable.
>>
>>183666212
yea that's what I mean, in game they offer founder package that's $99.99 USD. it comes with 2 copies of the game. I want to know if I can buy multiple of those, (so I can be a whore and get the legendary hero packs) and get copies of the game to my friends
>>
>>183666937
You technically can, but you cannot stack legendary account stuff on your already legendary account if what you want is to get the extra stuff like heroes and llamas.
You'd have to buy a legendary pack for a new account, and that kills the purpose.

>>
>>183669557
you're at the second zone and you haven't gotten a single epic or legendary weapon?
how many schematics/heroes/survivors do you have laying around that you aren't using?
put them in the collection book you should get a few loot llamas
llamas will drop from rerunning missions as well from the chests at the end

there's + offense perks in the skill and research trees as well that add +1% more damage each and some even add like +5 and stuff

basically you should find at least 1 epic or legendary you like and dump all of your schematic xp into it

How do pyramid bases work? Just build a pyramid over the base and the husks just walk up to the top and stop or something?
>>
Could anybody explain to me what is the appeal of this game? you basically create a party with friends, get taken to a mission, complete it, get better loot and I assume you level up your hero character and go back to join more missions.

Sounds like an mmo but what is the end content though? The game looks fun but I am afraid it becomes boring after a while. Are there any limitations to make as to what you can build to make the missions more challenging? Same with monsters.

I used to have a pyramid base but it's shit and remade it. They walk up to the top and then hit the walls near the top it becomes really bad when there is a lot of them all over the wall and you can't line up shots due to the incline.

On a side note:
What is the strongest thing you can make to protect a target other than a square? I pretty much just did this. A square with max walls but it feels sort of inefficient but seems to work best. I'm not sure though.

Sloped roof would help some, limits the number of sections that a well placed lobber can hit at once.

But you should never have a single strong point, always build out a bit from the objective, with the idea of funneling down to a kill box.
>>
>>183682186
Oh yeah I know that. That was just the base. I have kill zones in some areas that push them to the middle. I need something that would protect against lobbers because those things destroy the hell out of me and fly past all those def.

>crash right before we're about to activate the van
i didn't need all those materials i spent anyway
>>
>>183682771
they need to add a refund to materials spent on base building, and make it so constructers get like 75% of their spent materials back, everyone but outlanders get 50% back and outlanders get 35-45% back.

limit the amount of metal or stone farming you have to do every mission and gives you more time to do side objectives. it would all cut down the number of farm missions you need to do before each new Storm Shield defense.
>>
>>183682983
gathering is a medal you should be earning on the map though
i'm sure once we level up more and get more into the skill tree there'll be crap to gather better
>>

Pish I would be happy if they had an option to instantly destroy a wall. Its so annoying to spend like 20 years rebuilding your base because you did something wrong.
Its been my problem since alpha.
>>
>>183683140
The only mod to garthering speed is leveling your harvesting tool int he skill tree, and support passives from your hero squard, either harvest tool damage or bonus loot.

the first is mitigated by increasing HP on objects, and the second cannot be improved at all.

And I'm not sure it is even possible to get a plat utility medal, unless you have an outlander specifically just destroying everything on the map and ignoring the defense the whole time, I don't think I've ever even hit gold medals.
>>
>>183683220
Absolutely, there are a dozen or so QoL changes needed that I cannot FATHOM were missed in the years and years of Dev time this game got.
>>
>>183683376
when i'm playing with my 2 other friends we can usually get at least the gathering and building plat done each mission
the combat just depends on how the last part goes and if there was a lot of zombies on the map to begin with

crafting weapons in the match gives a ton of gathering progress i think, pretty sure the building one is just on its own

I was just saying that it's not a problem to work around that.
They could make it push a button to destroy a wall in edit mode only would be the best idea.
>>
>>183684296
yeah just having an unfill option and then the confirm is like a 2 second button hold whenever there's no blocks filled in edit mode and there's big red text on it that says "CONFIRM DELETION?" with a big red border around it or something could work
and if it is the only block holding something up every other connected block that will get destroyed will also be red bordered
>>
>>183684516
Or check this. A delete mode. Its like build mode but takes away all the confirmation and stuff like build mode.
>>
>>183684661
as long as there's a prompt to get into it or you have to hold a button for a certain amount of time and it gives big giant indicators that you're in it
>>
>>183684718
Exactly. The only problem I would think is trolls who would delete your home base or something. Something with more permissions I guess. Or a cooldown on how meany walls you can delete at a time. Like 10 or so every 30 seconds.

You have no idea how many suggestions there were. And they did not listen. What you want us to do about it make the game for them?

>>183688732

Even paid testers get shitloads of suggestions ignored. Most dev companies try to get the game reasonably playable, and that's it; they just go after the biggest, worst bugs in order to ship as fast as possible. I'm not saying it isn't a shitty, scummy thing to do, just that it's the norm and not really the fault of the testers.

Sounds like it would be hard to turn into a microtransaction :^) But seriously, this is starting to feel like a game that the devs just never played while they made it; 5-10 hours and you catch most of the major QoL issues.

I'm guess that this game was in Development Hell for so long that as soon as they had drop dead date and just shipped without a final pass on usability.

Give me a quick rundown on each class.
>>
>>183699943
Constructor has the strongest bases, and they are good with blunt melee weapons.
Outlander is for gathering resources and being useful for 2 fragment charges then being useless.
Ninja is for being sonic fast, cutting through enemies and dying if someone sneezes at you if you fuck up and let yourself get surrounded.
Soldier is for weakening enemies so they take more damage and throwing grenades everywhere.

Such a lust for nuts and bolts.
>>
>>183698027

I've seen the game running on an Xbone, and I have no idea why they would have even released it in such a bad state.

The game literally freezes and lags whenever you do anything. Lets say you're in a lobby and want to change your hero. Bringing up the menu has a 2 second freeze, opening the hero select window has a 2-3 second delay. Each time you move to a hero you want, you can expect a second or more freeze. And then finally selecting your hero has another 5 or so second freeze.

That is just in a fucking menu. In game is so much worse that you can't even use an outlanders loot llama because it drops so much shit the game hits 1 FPS in seconds.
>>
>>183703695

Nuts and bolts aint shit. Only people who're still in the early parts of stonewood think nuts and bolts are a problem.

The real grind is fibrous herbs and rotating gizmos. Fuck rotating gizmos.
>>
>>183703941
Its honestly it's not that bad. Not making excuses for it, just isn't THAT bad. The hero screen is the worst. Players joining is bad, but that's it
>>
>Yes, there will be more classes (and thus more heroes) over time. It just takes awhile to design all those heroes from the base class.
Hmm
>>
>>183704135

It is that bad though. I didn't even bother mentioning the constant crashes the Xbone version has. You can pretty much expect a crash every hour of playing.

Why'd they make Outlander so bad?
>>
>>183704103
This honestly. I just want a good supply so I can keep my favorites guns comfortably stocked.
>>183704205
Think of a class for me with 3 skills.

Then make 9 variants of said class where they can each focus on different aspects of gameplay said class is based on.
>>
>>183704103
I've noticed you'l need lots of gizmos for weps, especially epics, but traps and ammo sharing the same scarse resource is bullshit.

u wot?

just run around a map solo as an outlander with Keeneye and grab all the green.

I'm sitting on 500 nuts and bolt and I have to throw them out all the time.
>>
>>183704419

Yeah, it's gotten so bad I don't even bother with purple weapons anymore. Orange you can maybe use since they tend to use another resource you get from the killing mist monster quest, but purple weapons take 3+ gizmos each.
Find a decent blue weapon and level it up/evolve it. They tend to only need 1 gizmo and honestly the DPS difference is insignificant. I can kill a smasher in seconds with my trash blue weapon since I evolved it.

>>183704635

Anon, we're talking about gizmos. By the time people hit plankerton they've got 20 full stacks of nuts and bolts and are maxed out on all ammo types. Rotating Gizmos though are uncommon as fuck and needed to craft any blue or purple weapon.
>>
>>183704762
I find about 5 a mission

I guess I should start putting together a list of what objects to break for what resources, cause I'm sitting on about 110 at 18 power early plankerton.

This is because Outlanders with Keen Eye (Especially the upgraded keen eye trait) can find about 5 blue/purple chests a mission. I also have 50 Active Cells They can show up in any green or better chest But also have a decent chance to be in the Garden gnomes you see scattered about

So, does this game ever get more interesting than the starting area? Every mission is the same, every map is the same and there isn't much to do except grind.

Shurikens from what I can tell are alright. They have a low cooldown and early on can basically one shot any of the smaller zombies. Later on they get a little worse, to the point that I rarely use them and just save my energy for double jumps and dragon slash.
No idea if Shuriken Master Sarah's are any better or not though.
>>
>>183706741

Yeah I know, it's bloody retarded. It's made worse by the fact that you can only hold 999 wood/stone/metal and an upgraded wall is 60 resources (54 as a builder) so you can build almost nothing anyway.

I have no idea why they even added 3 different resources either. Wood is fucking useless. I got two +15% and one +45% building health upgrades and all upgrade tiers unlocked and wood still goes down in seconds.
Stone isn't much better either but I just use it because I'm too fucking lazy to go run a bunch more missions just to drag back resources to keep building.

I'm not even going to bother building shit from now on. A few boxes inside of boxes with some small walls to shoot over will do.
>>
>>183706354
you pick the direction to expand, so you can leave one side open to attack.

>>183707754

That's bullshit and you know it. Once you start plopping down amplifiers, attackers will always attack it.
I had amplifiers on the west, south and south west. Got attacked from the east, the attackers ran to hit the south fucking amplifier. Get attacked from north, they run to hit the one in the west.
I've never had them attack the storm shield once amplifiers go down.

>>183707946
cause your build is retarded.

The Zambinis will attempt to find the path of least resistance, if you made you Storm shield east side a massive death wall and then left the east side of your south Amp weak they will go for that.
>>
>>183707816
>>183707626

The real purpose of wood is to exploit the bad AI the game has.

The game uses pretty simple path finding and assigns each wall an enemy has to pass through to get to a location a weight. It will try to take the path that has the lowest weight which usually means low wooden walls.

You exploit this by making a maze. The AI isn't smart enough to follow a maze with a set path through it, especially if it's too long. So what you do is fill the maze with low wooden walls to guide the enemies through the path you want them to take.
>>
>>183707626
Wood is the utility material. Use it to access hard to reach areas.

Is this game worth getting or is it as bad as the red flags are making it out to be? EA, RNG walletbaiting trash? I thought it looked super neat from the revival trailer months back but since then I'm seeing so many reasons to not get it

>>
>>183708157

That's bullshit too. My amplifiers are guarded out of the ass while my storm shield has a shitty half built castle around it. Getting to the storm shield requires at the most breaking through 3 stone walls. Getting to my least guarded amplifier requires breaking through 2 fully upgraded metal walls, 3 fully upgraded low metal walls and a lot of traps.
>>
>>183708447

Avoid. The game's a mess right now. For a game with such a long development time, they've got very little to show for it. That and the fact that they're only releasing it in "early access" is a worrying sign.

I don't think I understand levels in this game. I'm lightning bolt 5, but I'm on stonewood quest page 9/10. And ever mission it tells me to do is twice my level and everything says I'm underlevel and there's 5 skulls of warning and shit.

But I havn't had any issues at all. Are you supposed to be underlevel or some shit?
>>
>>183709969
Are you teaming up? Because if you are you buff the stats of team mates and vice versa.

I'm 18-19 power solo, and 35+ when I'm with a team of similar level.
>>
>>183709969
How are you only homebase level 5 that far in? Have you been ignoring squads? Make sure to set those up and level up the survivors.
>>
>>183709969

The lightning bolt isn't your "level". It's basically an estimation of your stats (fortitude, offence, resistance and tech only). By extension it's a very rough estimation of your power since each of your 4 primary stats increases something.

For some reason it does not take other things into account, like your hero or weapon levels. As such a person using a very strong weapon but with weak stats will appear to be a low level, but could be equally as strong as a person using a weak weapon who has high stats.

Basically you can more or less ignore it. It's only real purpose is to act as a general measure of how difficult you can expect a mission to be.

Head start was a bad idea anyway because of how the game progress. The only problem with this is that it forces you to keep moving forward but no incentive to go back and play with low lvl people.

No. I mean, why would I play on a hard map to farm rotating gizmos when I can play on a much easier map to farm them? The drop rates are the same but the easier map means I use less ammo and less weapon durability (which means less wasted gizmos).

Don't spend all your skill points on a first skill tree, later on it's much harder to get enough skills for better stuff in trees 2 and 3. Better concentrate on one, maybe 2 classes early on.

apparently the difficulty ramps up after the first map
i'm on the 15+ power missions and the storm randomly moves around right in the middle so now you have to build on each side and not just where the storm starts

So I think you can only hold twenty hours worth of uncollected research points. Which means the 9-5 folks who are missing the chance to play tonight are basically going to be missing a day's worth of time gated progression. Lovely.

I'm glad they're being straightforward about the screw up, admitting to mistakes is a refreshing thing to hear from the community relations of a game company. On the other hand, this was a really dumb screw up, if for no other reason than the time they tried deploying their fix-of-death. They clearly got too used to dealing with invited alpha players.

Why is it impossible to find the talent trees for this game. I just want to theorycraft before I decide whether to pull the trigger or not.
>>
>>183731776
There are 50% faster point generation boosts in each skill tree segment. So it actually gets shorter, unless you unlock a larger pool in further research segments?

>>183732252
Because it's a fucking pain to scroll through ingame, let alone stitch together screencaps for other assholes to use.

I also heard that they completely overhauled how it was in the closed alpha literally days before the (pre)release, so nothing anyone knew or had available beforehand would have been any use either.
>>
>>183732137
Hopefully they are up within 3 hours so I can play when I get home.
>>
>>183732252
no point, you get enough points to unlock everything. And you pretty much have to unlock all the major nodes to progress to the next tree anyway.
>>
>>183732252
You will unlock everything in the end anyways
>>
>>183732426
You don't, so if this goes beyond a few more hours I'm behind
>>
>>183732426

There is 4 research trees and they progressively get larger and larger so require more points.
Also, although you can increase the amount of points you earn per hour, you do not increase the amount you can store. The cap is still like 1000 unclaimed points. Eventually you'll be getting points so fast you'll have to check back every few hours otherwise end up getting none due to reaching the cap.

You really should learn to read.

The first point in any research tree is an increase to the storage and holding caps for Points. The real issue is that you max out at 162 points/hour since the 4th skill tree doesn't have a research node for point generation. And at the rate of node cost increases the 4th research tree is going to be an absolute shitshow.

Also inventory space isn't much of an issue, you're likely just holding a lot of shit you don't need.

First of all, you don't need 20 different weapons. I use two and am stomping through the game. Three is the most you need.
Next, dismantle or put down all those traps you're holding. You have a home base, go slap them down inside of it.
After that, for some dumb as fuck reason the game doesn't like to stack items properly. One time I was holding like 5 stacks of 2 active powercells, and if you craft shit, it will almost always take from a full stack first so you can end up with something like 50 items in one stack and 10 in another. If this is the case (it probably is) go to your home base, drop excess items and pick them back up to make them stack properly.
Finally, just drop excess items. At one point I was holding like 700 fucking planks and 500 rough ores. You do not need that many of these items and they are stupidly easy to get anyway, so drop them, keep a pile of 99 or something.

This is what I do and I almost never go above 40 items (out of 65).
>>
>>183734767
the outlander with that cut has an amazing ass to stare at so it doesn't even matter
>>
>>183734784
this, planks and rough ore are probably whats fucking you

FYI you have a "bank". It's only 5 slots but if you go to your storm shield at any base, go to the console, there's a bank slot tab. I think it upgrades. So you can put some shit in there too
>>
>>183734256
yes and no, early on being locked to 50-55 inv slots is an absolute pain in the ass.

And after you hit Skill tree 2 you double your points income and can start grabbing squad nodes after you hit Plankerton and the difficulty starts picking up.

>>183734784
not this guy, but continuing the train of good advice since there's nothing to FUCKING DO while the servers are down

* make sure you have 1 rapidfire weapon, 1 long range high damage weapon, and 1 short range high damage weapon on hand. Ideally, they all use different ammo types, or at least only the longrange and shortrange high-damage slow-firing ones share ammo.

* pay attention to the copies of blueprints you get, specifically the levelup bonuses. These make or break a weapon, and you don't want to waste resources leveling up an inferior schematic

* slot your fucking squads and spend as many resources as you can leveling those fuckers up

* it's not always the best idea to craft the "best" guns you can at any point in time - rare resources are rare, no matter how many you think you have right now
** a good rare blueprint properly leveled can do a ton of work for you while staying dirt fucking cheap to craft replacements of - I personally recommend sticking to rapidfire rares since you'll be replacing them often due to durability burn

>>183735149
yeah, once you unlock the 2nd skill tree and everything starts costing 2 points, you start getting 2 points per levelup

it makes zero fucking sense that I can come up with

Also the points increase is to prevent people form grinding on a full skill tree 1 to dump points into Tree 2 as soon as you unlock it.

It's so you can go back and easily finish up the early skill trees.

About weapons.

Orange is fine for a while since they tend to use active powercells.
Purples should be avoided until much later on. They use 2-5 rotating gizmos each to craft.
Blues and greens are fine too.

Until high levels which you will not unlock for a long time, the differences between these weapons is actually tiny as fuck. It's like 2% extra DPS.
Don't think just because you unlocked a purple weapon you should start exclusively using it. You'll burn through all your resources and until you evolve it 3+ times it has no advantage over a green/blue weapon.

Also, upgrading a green/blue weapon is fine. You can dismantle it to get back like 90% of the exp you put into it.

They are lying to you if they said they had saved 35-40 points up unless they literally ignored all the branches of skill tree one, which would be a MASSIVE mistake since you will be missing gold nodes which are absolutely required to progress past their improvement nodes in Tree 2+.

I spammed quick play through all of Stonewood, didn't pick a single mission to speed up quest progress and I had just barely finished Tree 1 without getting any extra nodes (I had about 5 tech nodes missed, both the Offense and fortitude in the initial path, build speed and even the Air Strike gold node) When I unlocked Tree 2.

Anyone who doesn't have a Shredder is doing themselves a massive disservice, the only thing is can't do effectively is kill the leaper enemies.
>>
>>183736769
I had 38 points myself, and I had branched out to the outlander path and picked up a few +inventory and +damage. I was deliberately saving up to get the +1 gathering node but got fucked by the stupid goddamn "must unlock 20 nodes first teehee" bullshit

copy pasting what a friend in a group chat copy-pasted to me:

Current status is that we can successfully deploy our backend services and they are running with internal connections fine, but health checks are failing shortly after we allow traffic to them.

We have a "waiting room" service to prevent land rush scenarios, but certain backend calls are made before the client respects the queue.

Right now we are cutting off all traffic to backend via ELB (Elastic Load Balancer), scaling up backend to full capacity, and allow (waiting room) traffic and see what breaks <TM>.

If that works we will allow players in at a slow rate. If it fails the next step is to implement an orthogonal system that reduces traffic to our backend. First by restricting connections to just Epic HQ and then see what fails. If successful we would allow more traffic piecewise -- e.g. last digit of IP etc.

>>183737403
It is a long range Shotgun, it functions like sniper though with a very tight spread pattern even at extreme range. Highest damage I've seen in the game outside an autoshotgun directly to the face

Its only real downsides are its slow reload (it reloads like a pump shotgun) and somewhat it's rate of fire (not a issue most of the time because it stunlocks big enemies with a gorrillian impact).

FUCKING LET ME PLAY
>>
9 minutes ago
We think we are approaching a solution right now actually!
>>
so uh, wheres the porn?
>>
What the fuck is the point of this game?
Does it ever get harder to where building clever and efficient defenses is a must to complete the mission and survive?

As it is now, I get into a lobby with 3 random people and they sprint to the distance to look for chests and then when they're done, they just start the objective after building a simple 4 wall hut around it and we all just DPS everything in sight before it can even get close.

Also is it better to just upgrade one gun/trap/etc schematic or spread out levels between many?
>>
>>183744602
The worst thing about the game is easily the balance at the start. It's really easy and boring until basically the second zone.

It definitely gets harder and more involved. And pretty fast - once you get to that point which does take too long. You will start to get shit on and need to try.
>>
>>183573295
So is this game a grindfest? Are heroes (not classes) skins or actually do stuff?
>>
Do you even need to build proper defences around your Storm Shield? I just did Defense 5 and the game seems to be pushing me farther and farther out away from the main base.
>>
>>183744889
There are 4 classes and each class has heros that have different perks that changes up their classes gameplay a bit. I wouldn't say it's a grindfest because there's nothing you can really grind towards.
>>
>>183743593
https://discord.gg/uXZHAyG
>>
>>183744602
Yes, when they start dropping in elemental Zambinis the waves are large enough that most solo players are going to be pretty frantic defending. At the same time they start adding double and triple objectives to defend.

So yes, it gets harder quickly after you hit Plankerton.
>>
>>183745112
It does get harder, but the problem is the solution to the difficulty increase isn't build more/better, it's dps more/better.
>>
>>183745070
Yes. The first 5 waves are for babbies. The 6th wave is a joke but maybe has a few nervous moments.

Wave will destroy significant portions of your base (granted I did it solo)

Wave 8 is legitimately hard
>>
>>183745078
If you get the cheapest pack, are you screwed in the grind? Is it at least fun with friends?
>>
>>183734784

I drop those stacks in a game with other people either at the start or at the mission objective, people love that shit.
>>
>>183745272
If you just build a 4 walled box around your objects you are going to get fucked when you have to start defending multiple objectives from multiple sides. 4 players can only be looking in 4 directions at once, you need to have a lot more redundancy, and clever trap usage is a huge boon. My favorite is when you completely destroy a house and build wall launchers that push enemies into the basement with no way back up.
>>
Servers up
>>
>>183739720
They didn't just crash; their techs were adding to the servers, and whatever they did brought the whole thing down.

>>183744602
>Does it ever get harder to where building clever and efficient defenses is a must to complete the mission and survive?
Yes. Further in, you can't get away with just building a few walls around the objective.

Not only do you have to rig up defenses and traps, but you have to actively protect them from the bigger threats. Any failing in your defense means having to pull back to deal with them and rebuild, which means things like Smashers and those heavies carrying propane tanks have a chance to get right up to your defenses, which means more recovery is needed, and it can all spiral out of control. Though teamwork can mitigate some that.

>Also is it better to just upgrade one gun/trap/etc schematic or spread out levels between many?
Find some things you like, and point your points into them. XP comes easy enough, so it's not a big deal if you spend into stuff you later don't want. As long as you're not spreading XP among a bunch of the same thing, anyway.

Why the fuck does the matchmaking default the level to the highest for the zone?

I want to join others for the XP boost, the fact that it lets you target quest progression is great, but then it just makes everything level 40, while your confused groupmate is level 16 and you're pissed off

seriously what the hell?
>>
Quick question. If I want to get some effectiveness out of my survivors do I try to get the most points out of every tree or try to match them for the bonuses no madder the quality?
>>
>>183751042
You can see what the personality bonus gives if that's what you mean. It makes their number blue.

If you mean like shield regen +5% from having a few matching guys, I guess that depends on the upgrade. I don't go for traps at all so I wouldn't bother with the trap one for example.
>>
>>183751180
I was saying. If I have the option to go for more points or sacrifice the points for the bonus which would be better?
Because I could get like extra health bonus if I match a green and a purple but I lose a lot of points.
So I don't know if I should do that.
>>
>>183734784
>If this is the case (it probably is) go to your home base, drop excess items and pick them back up to make them stack properly.

If any of the info is wrong or anyone has any additional suggestions just let me know.


>What is Fortnite?
It's a 4 player co-op basebuilder/tower defense with lot's of loot and various hero classes.

>Do I have to buy it?
At the moment yes, currently there are various founders packs for sale, starting at $40. It will go F2P next year.

>If I was in alpha do I have to buy?
If you spent money equal to the price of a founders pack during the alpha you will receive the corresponding founders pack for free plus. If you did not you will get a discount on one.

Help me clear how the base building in this game works guys. Is it match based where you build a separate base every new match you play, or do you have one single base that you start off with and upgrade over time? I'd prefer it much more if it isn't match based, I don't wanna lose my base every time I play.

Also does the loot feel worthwhile? Does seeing a purple or an orange feel like a big thing?

>NO COMPENSATION
>>
>>183757817
It's both

You have persistent storm bases (start with 1, up to 4 by end game. after a few days i just got my second started) and you defend those several times over the course of the game. You build it up with the resources you collect from completed matches.

But the matches are stand-alone. Your resources and loot transfers over but what you build in matches - other than the storm base - disappears when the match ends.

The loot is ok-ish. Good loot definitely helps a lot but the system is fairly heavily RNG and monetized. I don't mind it but I can see it bugging people. I'm enjoying the game with the most basic package.

Also if you like finding chests/loot, an upgraded outlander is a lot of fun. That's what im playing as. Nonstop loot.

Anyone have an idea what I should be aiming in terms of a skill tree if I want to be an Outlander?
>>
>>183773685
You can speed up the Outlander skill tree for maximum gathering, but I would suggest you go to the builder tree and get the chance to upgrade buildings.
On the other skill tree, find the way to get to backpack expansion faster, and add as much shit as you can to the collection for some sweet extra skill points.

So did they give everyone free llama for the downtime? I went to the loot page and it auto-opened one.

Also, what the fuck is this on my screen? Why can't they fucking label anything in this game?
>>
What's up with the glowing purple doors that husks run into sometimes?
>>
>>183774760
It's a common graphic error, to me it happens when I try to accelerate the animation for opening loot boxes or any box for that matter. I had one stopping way over it usually does and it opened half off screen. Sometimes it doesn't display text, which in your case, was fucking shitty.
>>
If I've got both a green and a purple of the same hero, is there a point to keeping the green at all?
I know there's a point for weapons and traps, because the green is cheaper to craft and that can be useful in certain situations.
But for a hero the higher grade is just plain stronger with no downsides right?
>>
>>183775178
Yeah there is literally no point to keeping weaker ones that I've found. Just throw em in the collection book.
>>
How come no one ever posts forts? I wanna see some home bases.
>>
>>183776494
Lack of camera options I'd say. Really wish there was an easy way to get a nice aerial view.

I will never post mine though because they are just a mess of half walls and spike traps.

I just realized that I can grind my life out in this game but the real progression is throught llamas which are moneygated.

GG. I am more mad for wasting the weekend than for the money spent.
>>
>>183780292
Money is the easiest way of getting them but you get a daily which awards 50 v-bucks every day.

I played for a good while without spending money on the llamas the daily missions do give about 200 -300? v-buck enough for a few llamas and once you find the weapons you want then you don't have to spend money agian. you still have to worry about getting the hero you want and the llamas for are kinda high when I last check

I do want to know how much of a base damage difference there is for each tier of weapon. also can't you transform into higher tiers?

OP here, I'm going to bed now. Someone post a new thread when we hit the limit. Here's what I have for the OP.

>What is Fortnite?
It's a 4 player co-op basebuilder/tower defense with lot's of loot and various hero classes.

>Do I have to buy it?
At the moment yes, currently there are various founders packs for sale, starting at $40. It will go F2P next year.

>If I was in alpha do I have to buy?
If you spent money equal to the price of a founders pack during the alpha you will receive the corresponding founders pack for free plus. If you did not you will get a discount on one.

>Where do I buy it?

Jesusfuck the punishment for failing a defence mission is just fucked up in this game.
Just tried the stonewood 6, ran out of ammo. ran out of nuts and bolts to make more ammo. Then got to watch as everything I built was destroyed.
Now I need to go farm about 4k metal and stone and shit to rebuild everything. Shit is gonna take hours.
never played a game with such a harsh fail penalty.
>>
>>183781104
Yeah, I failed my level 7 too. I also have the second zone and now I need to build up 2 zones.

Definitely needs a lot of resources. I can't believe there's no upgrades to increase the amount of resources you can hold.

It's pretty fucked when you get put in a storm shield defense with no other humans. There's just too much shit for one person. With more than one it gets trivial. But it's unreliable depending on getting others.. there should be a "wait until I get 1 player" option or something idk
>>
>>183780651
But to upgrade stuff you need manuals. And you get manuals by retiring cards, and only llamas give you cards.

That means the daily quest is the only renewable source of progression without paying.
>>
>>183781326
I'm fine with the difficulty, I'm fine with loosing.
It's just the penalty for losing in your home base is so fucking massive.
You're right, a "Wait for 1" would be welcome.
>>
>>183781535
I think the best way to make it somewhat feasible is either up daily quests to 2 so you can get a llama every day or keep dailies at 1 and introduce 3 weekly quests that award 100 v-bucks each. Things like "complete 10 missions" and "kill 5000 husks"

That sort of shit.
>>
>>183782118
The ring is still flawed as I am in plankton. And only have rare hero's. When at this point I am in need of at least an epic.
>>
>>183782681
Yeah, the way to get unlocks is quite difficult. You can get some heroes from the quests but you need some good stuff to even progress through the quests. It's a catch 22 really.
>>
How the hell do I play?

>>183783370
I don't see a button anywhere.
Do I get an access code??
>>
>>183783554
If you don't have it, you need the Epic Games Launcher. Then click fortnite at the top, and then launch, when you're logged into the account you purchased with.
>>
>>183783627
I have the launcher.
I clicked Fortnite.
I don't see a play button anywhere.
>>
>>183783671
Did you try restarting it after your purchase? idk. Should be a big huge LAUNCH button. Does it still say pre-order for you?
>>
>>183783423
My friend did and got a pistol that hits as hard as my strongest epic sniper rifle, with 10x the fire rate, double the mag size and none of the recoil.

How would you implement raid bosses in this game?
What I would do.
>8-16 man raids
>very specific maps designed for each boss
>still have a main objective to defend. Or multiple
>Many husks are still being spawned and have to be dealt with.
>Defense is not over till the boss is defeated.
>Boss does not agro the objective normally and just a agros hero's and Forts
>each boss has unique gimmicks that must be dealt with. Eg. Boss starts charging an attack and hero's like out landers or ninjas must make there way through the hired to turn on a temporary shield generator to mitigate the damage to the fort or risk a team wipe.
That's my idea at least.
>>
>>183784062
Definitely add bullet sponge bosses to games with extremely low durability on weapons
Can't wait to break 3 legendary assault rifles on one raid
>>
>>183784062
Oh forgot to mention
>after the boss is defeated you get a shit load of loot drops like the fucking trailer shown. Also high reward rates in the completion screen ranging from epic to mythic hero/weapons skematics/survivors/Traps ect.
>>
Well this llama thing has pissed me off so thanks for pointing that out

I really want to like this game, I don't even mind that it's all a big 'disguised' grind, I don't mind a comfy building grind.. But realizing that everything of actual value is behind llamas which are limited to 50 bucks a day (basically, minus a few one time quests) when they cost 100 each really sours everything. It means I literally can't grind to get better stuff. I'm just wasting and gathering resources over and over to stay afloat until the next daily quest.

Fucking jews. They made it so it feels like you're still progressing by playing but you really aren't, once you realize the llama thing. That's lame.
>>
>>183783770
so I logged in to another account.
The pre-order button is there but I cant buy the 60 dollar pack (some HTML errors).
I CAN buy it on the website, which is what I did on my first account.

Just gonna ask for a refund. I can't play the game so fuck this company.
>>
>>183784193
Just do more damage :^)

But I had more ideas than the typical bullet sponge boss as well.

Like a cloaked small guy that we can't see. It would destroy forts like a mofo with Lazer blasts making path ways for hoards to attack the objective. So the side gimmick would be to get power to some satellites so we can see the boss and shoot it for a period of time before the satellites ran outta power.
>>
>>183784657
I'd at least uninstall and reinstall the launcher, takes like 30 seconds

but getting refund might not be an awful idea :^)
>>
>>183784603
Hope they fix this. Epic is not afraid of changing Thier game dramatically. As they did with paragon.
>>
>>183784764
Honestly I'd be happy with the chests at the end of missions having a chance to drop llamas based on their upgrade level, and for in-game chests to have a small chance to drop llamas

Then there'd at least be some reward for playing and grinding that is tangible, even if it was small. As it is now, that 50 vbucks a day limit is just stupid, and it's going to be worse at end-game levels when you're earning less from non-daily quests
>>
>>183784659
>>183784062
This is honestly a really cool way of adding Raid like bosses to a game I though would not be able to have such things.
It's a really great idea and Fuck you for sharing it Cuz now I want it and know it won't fucking happen. At least anytime soon.
>>
>>183784603
We told them a lot of times during the alpha. Now if the beta people say this same thing maybe they will come up with something who knows.
They could do something more like exp gain when you get kills with a hero or gun and lvl it that way.
>>
>>183785034
Make a crafting system built around this.
After evolving a rare hero 4 times. You can upgrade to epic with Mats as well.
It's grindy as hell but I think it works.
But they would need to rework the skill tree a bit. Perhaps allow people to evolve hero's and guns from the get go and then the unlocks in the skill tree would be to unlock upgrades like rare to epic and epic to legendary.
