>fng is back

oh boy

>>189055826
Had to make it with this new update.

Fucking ebin at it again.

So instead of dealing with the lack of content in the game right now they add a freaking Battle Royal mode?

Yes I know BR mode is "content" but shouldn't they fix the original game first that's far from finished and only got 1-2 zones done?
Game is not even half complete

>BR doesn't relate to the game at all

not even rewards or anything? Lame..

no progression for the pvp

this game is all about triggering my collection/progression autism and then it has none for the pvp mode. reeeeeeeeee.

>>189056934
I imagine that they will soon enough add jewing methods for the pvp mode.
enjoy it while it lasts.

BTW is survive the storm still active? Dont want to leave queue to check

>>189057174
Yeah it still is.
They havent announced when they're taking it off.

>Can't do it in Fortnite either, lol
God, and why make these rules and make no comment on enforcing them in the base fucking game? Leechers in Radars/Survivors, and even normal game modes is still a thing.

reeeee i suck at this

>tfw am having fun

How is PUBG compared to this? I know it's "polished" but I hear people crash and bug in it all the time while this seems to be working fine on my craptop.

I just hope that once they expand on the unlocks and progress side, it doesnt kill the PVE mode.

Reposting from /v/:
Ok I gave this shit a shot as someone who's been playing normal Fortnite for a bit.
The good:
>Crouching, even crouch running which doesn't exist in the main game
>Medkits which are the same as PUBG's
>Traps can be set up to fuck up other players which is super fun
>can build hideouts
>weapons feel poweful
>the map is 100x better than the tiny flat blocky maps in base fortnite
The bad:
>Player built walls, even metal ones, have next to no HP
>There are no rewards for playing the mode
>No character customization
>No squad play
>No swimming so the islands off the sides of the main mass are pointless RN
>No player abilities like the base game

It doesn't need player abilites because it would be impossible to balance but it would be cool if each class was in with 1 generic strength like ninjas can still double jump.
I don't hate it and it's nice to get to play a game that I think looks and feels good free from the Llama jew menace.

so nades are nukes in this mode

>>189057174
They even fixed low levels joining, 32+ for 40s and 58+ for 70. People can still invite low levels if they feel like though

>People crying "It's a different team who made the PVP mode!" in chat
>The preview video literally says "THE Fornite team has been hard at work on a special project"
Also, I will admit it's kinda fun.

The whales are dry by now so they have to make a mode to get a different audience in and make it more reasonable of a purchase or else EVERYONE will see the price tag and scoff at it.

>>189058404
It's also effectively a discount on the higher tiers too if you buy first/2nd and upgrade in-game.

>>189057597

I don't get why they put this mode. The survive the storm update was available not long ago, most people haven't yet got around all the new stuff there's to do. Why did they made this mode right now? Is the game really dying?

Compared to PUBG, I feel the rounds lasts a lot longer, and it gets tedious in the last 15 minutes. I would like a way to encourage search and destroy, and keep stuff active.

It's shit.

I would have probably stuck around for nostalgia's sake if they had used Unreal Tournament's universe as the inspiration. I don't fucking care about any character or event in the game's universe and that makes it hard not to get rustled by the constant flagrant microtrannybux game mechanics.

It's basically a microtransactions simulator that lets you occasionally play an FPS with terrible AI every so often.

Faster load times I'm assuming. I just wait til I'm at least 75% across the map to avoid that so I can have a solitary landing. Also flip backwards once or twice to check if anyone is following.

>>189148821
I actually figured it out partially. The game forces you to open glider when you're a certain Y distance from anything directly below you. This means if you come in hard and fast over a field next to your target, you'll glider earlier, but still have plenty of time to position at the facility.
