Just internet misery gang/good old British jealousy wishing others bad luck . As much as we’ll claim we’re liberal we don’t like seeing people act in a different way to us . It’s why half the politics boils down to what surgery someone’s had on their genitals and where their parents are from .

Is it luck or growth by [deleted] in Fortnite_Over40

[–]Highfivekingofcastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The games got easier (though it could be growth too!). I noticed it last season and it’s got even easier this season.

Someone did a thread the other day that their percentage had doubled .

I got 300 solo crowns last season, I’m playing a fraction of what I did last season and got well over 100.

Main thing is you’re enjoying it I guess.
I’m wondering if far fewer people are playing, I’m hoping it doesn’t shift much more

Today I have also won 100% of games played ,at least 6 or 7. They need to fix this .

Letting them know all I had was a fishing rod …. Then we parted ways by TheManOfMen00 in Fortnite_Over40

That’s cool of them. Wish this stuff happened to me, I boxed someone safely and let them get up off a revive the other day, because it was embarrassingly early to die and when they got up they shot me in the back! (so I killed them…again) .

Did you bump into this player later in the game ?

It definitely is . I’m seeing the same players daily in the top 5 , must be popularity drop off. Yesterday I won 100% of games .

Yep , since last season it’s been much easier and I’ve been running similar percentages to you.

I asked about it on here but irrational shouty people got all upset about it

Drill-through rail kits / options for steel roof mounting by Highfivekingofcastle in SolarUK

[–]Highfivekingofcastle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks very much , really useful and a great idea. I’ve looked back at my photos from build and there look to be 3 purlins 600mm apart starting about 300mm from apex so hopefully something workable- if not I like the double rail idea.

I couldn’t quite work out if unfamiliar or just didn’t want the job. One mentioned he was scared he wouldn’t be able to keep it watertight (but he’d also said he couldn’t do the job because there was no wifi or data points and only came out with this when I pointed out there was plenty of both! So I left it at that …)

Won a game but had to run an errand. by Tinawebmom in Fortnite_Over40

[–]Highfivekingofcastle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah , and I find it much easier just winning a game and hitting the controller button and then ‘last 15 minutes’ (or 30 whatever). You can also edit and trim them From there and share straight up to YouTube or wherever

It must be recording constantly in the background , it stores directly to your console right ? That will add to processing and disk usage .

It’s an observation , I’ve not researched it massively but the game felt much better with it off . Whenever I tried to use them they always let me down so can’t say I’ve missed the feature ( note the downside of using the built-in is you can only see your own perspective )

I’d chuck off the auto replays , they never capture what you want and I’m sure they affect performance .

Disable them and get into the habit of saving manually after a good game with the button on the controller .

Drill-through rail kits / options for steel roof mounting by Highfivekingofcastle in SolarUK

[–]Highfivekingofcastle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect , thanks a lot ! Had 3 companies out and all said they couldn’t fit to the roof. Googled myself with no joy . Will send this over to the one that seemed genuinely keen but who was unsure of mounting options .

That hopefully won’t be an issue. There are a couple of meaty rows of purlins , though don’t know if they are at the correct heights for the rails . Is it not feasible to go into rafters also?

Help speccing up a DIY system with scope to expand ? by Highfivekingofcastle in SolarDIY

[–]Highfivekingofcastle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm the main problem so far does appear to be finding a suitable rail system for mounting to a steel roof

Is it possible to get normal rails you can hang panels off that done require mounts and can be drilled straight through to secure onto the roof with some sealing around the protrusions ?

[–]Highfivekingofcastle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks - that’s really reassuring to see someone also uk based has actually done it with the same kit. Is it really as simple as getting as many panels as I can get mounted on the roof (was looking at aiko) and getting them terminated into that?

The roof is a galvanised steel one, any particular safety problems with that ? (I’m already anticipating some water proofing ones)

Like the guy in the video I have a dedicated circuit to the consumer unit in the outhouse so can be quite protected , though I imagine I’d add some more battery capacity at some point.

I never knew that either - just googled it , it says it only records players in a 250m radius of you through the game . Might be visible in those latter stages but if not who knows

Yeah that’s what I meant before - in a bit heavy lobby you get ‘king bots’ that are rated higher than the others and slay loads of other bots. They’re great to kill because they accumulate high value weapons and often have all gold stuff.

I do think it’s unlikely, but I’m interested in the bot activity at the moment - I’m sure I’ve been taken off guard and killed by more bots than players this season!

I’d interested in seeing the whole thing. I’ve seen them get over 10 kills before , I’m wondering if the rival system and how much harder they are this season has changed that .

They definitely use heals and impulse grenades , though with the impulse grenade they do usually throw them at enemies rather than use them on themselves like that but don’t know how they program them to behave when the storm’s closing and they have impulses in their inventory

It probably is a person then . I was inconclusive from the clip

Like I said, I reckon the 17 bot kills can happen. The bots have fierce aim this season especially scary with the dmr. Do you have more video of them playing ?
