re: Fortnite Battle Royale Out For Free (PS4, XB1, PC)

The fight was ok...but it did nothing to really change the map. Was hoping for some landmark destruction.

Me too.

They’re coming.

Updated and played with my 12 year old. Hadn't played since Season 6. Was chided for bush camping and not pressing the action. He told me was going to play with his friends lol. He also told me the way I throw grenades is CS:GO type stuff. Had to let him know I played the original CS not that go crap.

Hate to say it, but no. Unless you spend every ounce of your day playing and practicing then you’ll never be able to catch up to the sweats and try hards. It’s gotten out of hand and ruined what used to be a pretty fun game. I’m not even sure what they could do to fix it. They’ve already nerfed building a ton in order to keep insane trump towers from going up in seconds. But it’s still just not the same. Mouse and keyboard dominate as do the people who play it 8-9 hours a day. It used to be fun for casuals AND try hards but now it’s barely any fun for anyone. If my friends aren’t on I don’t even sign on, whereas in Season 3 and 4 I played with randoms or solo and loved it. But unless they have a way to group all the try hards and sweats in together and to let the casuals play against one another, then it’s really not worth trying to put effort in. Used to be, with about the last three circles there would be around 15-20 people left. Now with three circles left it’s consistently in the 30’s which is tournament levels of try hard. Instead of landing in high population areas, players are landing in random, low contact areas and just hopping from bush to bush like there’s money on the line

This. Been playing since season 1 and its gotten out of hand. The moving storm absolutely sucks and I have no idea how its still a thing. The map is terrible. Keyboard and mouse players on consoles has to be eliminated as its not even close to fair.

They need to figure out an algorithm that separates the really good players from the average. They can start with K/D ratios and total amount of wins. They need to develop incentives for staying good too, so that the good players dont just afk to lower their score. Offer special skins for surpassing a certain amount wins and offer experience based leveling for performance, not just playing. It wont get rid of it entirely but it absolutely would help... most players will not make new accounts and lose all their skins just to play with the average people and if you ever score 10 kills plus in a game, then youre instantly moved up to the next level, no exceptions. Maybe not 10 kills but i think there should be some sort of cap on how many kills you can get in each grouping before you are automatically moved up to the next level. What good player would want to play with low level people but cant get 20 kills.

the moving storm alone has made me consider quitting tbh. The entire end of the game is just running and trying to get through obstacles while the really good player sits up top and kills everybody.

The days are gone when you could build a fort in the final storm circle and the only way someone could launch on you is a jumppad.

Did you ever play without it? I honest to god dont understand how anyone could like it but obviously you do so not gonna argue that.

I agree with you that there needs to be more incentive to play Arena. Exclusive skins, banners, v bucks - something. As it stands, I don’t know why anyone would play Arena unless they legit thought they had a chance at making the World Cup.

Thats not true at all and is a baseless statement. Just because I dont like the storm moving to opposite sides and up mountains and other shite, doesnt mean that I camp. It takes away from straight on combat and makes it very difficult to play as a team at times.

I would almost say that the moving storm should be exclusive to pros or arena mode, where players do want to camp inside their builds. In regular gameplay, most are not trying to play that style of gameplay and it really makes a lot of new players want to quit. So what if theres some noobie players camping in final circle, its better than them not playing at all and only the sweats are left when the storm starts moving. Most average players cannot build/edit through obstacles while on the run with a moving storm, while being shot at and then trying to somehow shoot at the team that got lucky in the final circle.
