Fortnite

[the grey cat]

"fortnite bad, minecraft good" anyone remember that annoying shit?

 

[mgs4 raiden]

ranked in this season don't feel insufferable anymore, now it's filled with people just praying on the hardcore sweats who can't adapt of this season and it's some of the most funniest things i've witnessed in fortnite. Epic has really nailed it out of the park with how fun the loot pool is this season and the meta of it, sadly i can see epic either falling to the knees of the comp players demands OR they pull a c3s2 and tell them to either adapt or piss off and stick strong to their guns.

Literally all they have to do is shoot the car wheels and then start unloading on the main body and the cars just die like it's nothing. I'm glad battering rams/cow catchers are back for cars because the main reason I switched to zero build was because they kept nerfing building destruction items to the point you'd just have people build spamming on and off in a corner with a hotkey and then pot shotting you with their little indestructable hovel or some shit and you couldn't destroy it fast enough. Maybe it's worse because I use a controller but like it was actual fucking hell dealing with that shit. If husks in save the world can rip through my walls easily then players in battle royale should be able to as well. I want to fight PEOPLE not fucking walls! The walls should be the tools to throw off people, move upwards, or make a temporary shelter! I mean they WERE till every fucking wall destruction element got nerfed to stupid levels several seasons back.

Yeah. This is going to definitely be my 'bye/pass" season. I'm glad you're all enjoying it, but I've let it linger and thought about it the past couple of nights and this season isn't for me. It's not that I cannot win or play, I'm very good at the vehicle meta. I just don't find it fun or challenging to play. Guns are pointless for me to grab, because 90% of the match, I'm glued into a turret, banking grenades off the ground. Gold is pointless for me to collect, and upgrading weapons is pointless when you're glued to a turret. The new items are great, I love nitro and the little animation with the Nuka Cola always makes me smile.

Hopefully they add some dumb gimmick to the game to make me want to play it.. I swear I saw some sort of sketching/surfing with a wire so maybe that'll be interesting. I'll get my battle pass done though other gamemode play, but I don't think I'll be jonesing for any Battle Royal anytime soon.

I'm glad the sweats are mad though and glad that there's plenty of counters this season to "Fort Asshole" (Seriously, love those fucking fists. just perfect for getting in there and shoving it right up a sweats ass.).

I ended up being too exhausted to play at all the last few days and they've now just nerfed the main gimmick of the season to satiate these people so now we're back to build camp hell and no car fun even in zero build because the structure damage from vehicle impacts was greatly reduced now compared to every prior season in response to the complaints of "meta". Never even got a chance save for day 1 to have fun and the funs gone but HEY GUYS BOOGIE BOMBS ARE BACK HAHA HOW QUIRKY IT"S STILL QUIRKY GUYS!!! (Lets completely ignore the exploit that cancels boogie bombs out that will never be patched)

Seriously it's fucking LAME.

Well guess what? The fists are useless now too! Because every NEW weapon is too busted for the meta even though the people complaining about the cars weren't even using them or the fists to punch the cars to death. I've seen so many videos pre nerf where the sweat is like running at a car without fucking even using any weapons and they get shot by the car and go "uuuhhh see how overpowered that is?" Motherfucker there's no way you can be that stupid without actively attempting to nerf fun shit.

seems like epic took the first route.

 

[D.Angus]

You've already sold me on not playing this season Epic, you don't have to keep trying.

Boogie bombs were never fun to begin with. It's like someone coming in the room and smacking the controller out of your hand. By the time you've bent over, picked it up, staring at the guy who did it the entire time, he's already smacked it out of your hands again.

Damn shame; I was beginning to enjoy the game again, too. The Battle Pass has some skins that legit look great, the post-apocalyptic theme is a favorite of mine, and BR honestly felt fun after the Mythic spam of Season 2.

Also... why the Boogie Bombs? As everyone else has been stating, they're not fun; there's no reason why Epic would need to add them back, so why? Were the sweats that desperate?

Way to ruin what might've been a fan-favorite Season, Epic. Anyone got any tips for leveling quickly? Because I do want to get some of the cooler rewards in the Pass, but I don't have much free time these days, and having to deal with sweats for too long gets annoying.

EDIT: Just checked, the Lego Creative AFK EXP glitch (build walls around campfire and jump in) got patched. Anyone got any other methods? All I can find is people trying to advertise their AFK maps.

Just play a little bit everyday. Try to find a creative map/gamemode you enjoy and just play that. Worse case is throw yourself in an afk game and just go do chores or watch something and come back later. The one dumb game I got addicted to was "Farmlife4" where all you literally did was busy work, but I'd listen to YouTube while doing it. It's hard to give recommendations because every one is different, but just try something and if you don't like it, oh well, you got some XP and you know you don't like that game and/or genre.

The best way to get XP is to do your quests. Mid season there should be an event where creative XP will just be thrown out. That's your time to really buckle down.

 

[mgs4 raiden]

My strat to leveling up is just doing STW or bot lobbies, i might consider doing them again since they really made the gameplay not fun anymore.

 

[Moopy]

You can get afk xp from main stage so long as you make your character run in a circle.

I think it's around 5 levels a day.

Otherwise just use bot lobbies, if you grab wasteland challenges and get somewhere around 30-40 kills you usually net about 60k xp per game or more.

I was browsing a certain fortnite discord and saw that people were talking about someone by the name of "TernsCheese" and i decided to check who this guy is and i possibly found lolcow material here. i've only scratched the surface but here's a summary of what i found.
TernsCheese is known in the fortnite community as the guy who always gets to level 1001 in each season of fortnite, he isn't really known for that but is known cause of his infested living style/conditions and his weight gain journey (he's above 300lbs). He's also hated for many reasons that i've not found out yet but when i get the time i'll most certainly dig into this rabbit hole.

 

[mgs4 raiden]

update: I've found dms that are allegedly to be him, take this with a grain of salt. also here's the photo that has recently been going everywhere in the fortnite community discord servers.

I thought the Battle Mode for Festival would be interesting... Instead, It's just Battle Royal, with music. Keep enough points to place by the end of the song to stay in.

 

[Scream Aim Fire]

Looks like Epic just patched the AFK Circle Run method for Festival; just spent nearly an hour running in circles, got basically no XP. Haven't tested Lego AFK, will try it out.

EDIT: Also, the new "Ride the Lightning" weapon has a glitch where, after using it, the screen will basically "lock up" preventing you from being able to look up or down, and making your view weird when you jump. Just cost me a BR match; thought I'd let you guys know.

 

[Stab You in the Back]

A new mode is out: Fortnite Reload.

Squads only, and infinite respawns as long as someone from your squad is alive. Respawns shut off after awhile.

Its... okay? I like it better than the lava mode, but at the same time I feel like people drop out too soon. Around 60% of my games had an early leaver, which sucks because making it to the endgame with a full squad gives you a good chance at victory. I'm undecided on returning to the mode now that I've completed all the quests. It tends to be more of a slug-fest than standard Fortnite. But right now standard Fortnite is a bit of a slog with the endgame being five dudes with cars running around the map for 20 minutes.

The sweats on reddit seem to like Reload, though. YMMV.

 

[D.Angus]

Nitro Damage to Buildings has been Reduced to 90.

They keep nerfing this fucking season, I had just gotten into the Kool-Aid man strat and now that's no longer viable. Metallica Concert thing was OK. Metallica are still massive faggots by having the player bounce around at the concert. No no, can't let anyone enjoy Metallica *gasp* for Free, make sure there's some sort of dumb hindrance so they can't fully enjoy it.

 

[Stab You in the Back]

Magneto is out. His power feels like a more refined version of last season's earthbending. Its most impactful when combined with nitro because you can zoom around the map without fear of fall damage and basically rain metal hell upon your enemies.

I won two games in a row in Zero Build Squads abusing the heck out of magnetism.

I'm still liking this season overall, especially now that there are several answers for cars. Cars are still endgame viable, but its not 10+ minutes of people slamming their vehicles into each other until someone falls into the storm and dies like it was at launch.

Let's take a look at the item shop tonight and see what's there...




You know it's not a coincidence.

was that the one that got chlorine gassed or...
Either way pretty cursed if more than coincidence.
Anyways fuck I've missed mostof this season so far never played since thefirst damn day when i had fun and then i've been dead since and the nerfs have killed my enthusiasm but I don't want to miss the pass shit I signed up for.
EDIT: also those character designs are much more visually appealing than like 99% of furries i know that's obvious but like fuck furries man they managed to turn fucking SHARKS into generic furry wolf heads somehow.
