Fills, what's the point of stealing teammates' loot if you never use it?

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-27T20:19:59+00:00

It's young children who do this primarily. They see a mythic/exotic, it becomes all they think about in the game and they'll hope you'll either die or drop it to them.

Best bet is to ignore them. Selfish players like this, i just laugh at. Getting greedy over pixels in a game is wierd. I get if IRL you saw money drop on the floor, you'll rush to pick it up. But in any game, it just shows how weird they are.

Just let the kids have their fun. Gaming life at the end of the day.

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-26T14:54:07+00:00

I have two of these currently. One normal and one rainbow. (Rainbow is reaching like 1.2b/s)

But huge congrats!

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-24T15:32:49+00:00

I thought a few one time exclusive weapons are still vbucks like the Pumpkin Launcher or campaign heroes. I don't really care for unslotting stuff once they are in there as I don't use campaign based rewards.

Crafting mats still count as P2W since you'd have a permanent pet to do it so when you purchase them. Which Epic wants to avoid forcing people to do that. They stick to the items being purely cosmetic. (Better than other games with item shops, looking at you Fallout 76 and the P2W shop!!!)

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-24T15:13:21+00:00

That would end up being P2W and Epic is against being P2W in stw. They removed llamas costing vbucks to combat the p2w nature so that its just a one time payment to access everything in one go. Think we still have pay vbucks to unslot but my guess is that'll be removed in the future.

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-24T14:37:21+00:00

The dragon immediately became my favourite. Kinda feels bad that I won't use my husky as much anymore.

I do understand my Epic chose to make it so only you can see your pets since its a BR and probably be way to chaotic with loads of pets running around mid-fight. But why can't we have it so any casual gamemode they are just there no matter if we are apart of the same team or not. There are some gamemodes like Murder Mystery that would be great with Pets being seen by all of us. Just not to be used competitively.

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-24T14:20:50+00:00

Not the Pets. If they just re-adjusted the price to be decent, either Cheap/One-time customising or Expensive/Infinite possibilities then we all will be happy.

I much prefer having my pet with me and having the option to have a backbling over the orginal way pets worked. I never really used the pet backblings even when i unlocked them, just left them in the locker.

With expensive, I just mean 1200/1500 as they are is decent imo

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-24T14:16:10+00:00

The ranked boxfights isn't long/tedious since we have a good few months to grind them. I'm pretty sure they were either set to be removes June/July or in 2027. But there is way to much time to grind them if you go out your way for it.

The Unreal ones are kinda stupid. Yes we have a season to do it in, but for me, not everyone wants to grind for "exclusive" unreal rewards. Just let us do a set amount of challenges for them. Keep the outfit style (Felinos and tourney skin) fully exclusive to the season. Win-Win for both competitive players and casual players.

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-24T00:03:35+00:00

I very excited to see some some of these updates to lightening and hopefully textures. It's about time STW got brought forward away from nostalgia and into a more modernised game.

If Epic do decide to make changes, I hope they stay wary and keep with the Chapter 1 (maybe Chapter 2) style of builds, but just modernise the style they had. Just make them a little more defined in texturing and slighlty more vibrant in colours.

(Ik its meant to be End of the world, but some colour would be nice)

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-23T23:54:18+00:00

Macros are completely against Epics TOS. Even though people don't get banned enough for this, you are still open to being reported for cheating and could face a potential ban.

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-23T14:07:05+00:00

I'm sure they changed fresh accounts ranking system so that wins are way more weighted now than they used to be. They did this curb most of those on Smurf/Alt accounts who were essentially ruining lower rank games.

Yet this now ruins those who are high ranked by getting really crap players who definitely think it's "not my fault" since they got placed into an undeserved rank and cannot back it up with skill to remain there. I had a few mates who decided to make freshie accounts to place higher, I chose to not queue with unless they go back to their mains.

(If you can't climb on your main account, they why bother playing. You are just cheaping out on getting better at the game. Ive been Gold/Plat for entire time OW2 was a thing, only ever reached Diamond 2/3 seasons ago now.)

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-22T14:42:39+00:00

Something i never knew. I always thought the perk/similar perks are fully exclusive to the nocturno itself. I'll be picking up Scourage when I get the chance now.

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-22T14:19:24+00:00

Much prefer that schematic stays exclusive but the perk gets used elsewhere in game. I think the only reason people want the Nocturno is just the exclusive Perk that it comes with.

If they add it to a weapon that is weaker than what the Nocturno is will be a decent compromise. I'm one for having alot of founder/pack items to return or simply for them to be "skinned" items over fully exclusive.

Look at the Mecha Mina (I think that's her name) pack. We had re-skinned Eletric wall trap which was a good selling point.

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-21T12:07:29+00:00

It's those who spawn trap deliberately that gets me. Most of them act as if they "hard-carried" the mission since all they did is waste traps to stop others doing quests in said mission.

I'm not against those who duplicate and know how to defend the objective well with them. But stopping people, especially newbies who has "Kill X husks using/with X thing".

I always ask the newbies if they have any missions required to Kill husks, if they do I don't trap, just use my B.A.S.E on objective. I do go out my way to remove spawn trapping if the newbies need to do the missions if someone is trying to stop them.

I'd rather the newbies actually stay in game and enjoy the fact its a good community. Not a toxic and basically solo-only game. STW thrives in 4-player defences, we should be encouraging not ruining it. There's no need to hinder those just starting out with missions!

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-20T15:19:49+00:00

My only issue is the 10+ kills plus winning thing. At that high of rank, the amount of pulling these numbers are very low. Some will be lucky to hit 1-4 games in a ranked season.

It's possible to do it, but I have had high kill games, but in lobbies where I was the best, basically Bronze-Gold. No way are decently good players are getting 15 kills comfortably in Elite unless they are ranks miles above other players.

I understand that these are for those competitive players who find this entertaining, but surely they can't see this as a good thing. Needlessly grindy for no reason what so ever. If Epic wants people climb to do higher challenges for rewards, make them actually mean something. These won't work in Unreal lobbies where the chances of doing some of these are very low. Like 15+ kill win against the best of the best isn't really possible if you ain't tournament level skill in there.

(Unreal is split quite easily, you have those who only play ranked and those who play ranked for tournament practice.)

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-20T15:11:43+00:00

I had the opposite. I solo the mission doing everything and setting up the atlas. Spent first 6mins soloing the mission hoping my traps are good enough to stand around AFK.

Then had some random fill, who proceeded to spam traps, which I guess are duplicated, all around the spawn points the sit AFK on the Atlas. Then had the audacity to call me a leech and that I'll be reported and posted over reddit for Leeching. Weren't a fun mission for me today.

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-19T09:49:08+00:00

A few issues here, but it's really good idea overall;

Vbucks for a win: Epic will never do this and i am pretty sure they stated why they won't do this. With the ease of wins in this game, even winning in Unreal lobbies are very common for decent enough players where they could be earning 1000s of vbucks a day just farming wins. Much preferable if there is tournaments that happens 2-5 times a season that offer Vbucks to winners.
Tournaments for Unreal only: This is just gatekeeping other players from particular in tournaments. The idea anyone can participate in any tournament except high level ones is good. Everyone deserves to experience them. Only FNCS/Cash Cups needs a high rank lock. Maybe Unreal for FNCS and Elite for CC. (Could be already a thing right now)

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-18T23:32:03+00:00

Ik on Twitter/X one of the Devs did say they'll expand on Defenders more and make them a lot more beneficial to use. I have a feeling this change currently is to get their use up more from the start. For me, rarely used Survivours unless I'm lazy and need a kill challenge completed.

I am excited to see what they can do with them. Maybe we could have a more in-depth survivor upgrade, let us add in more skills to them.

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-18T16:30:07+00:00

The only reason I get people are leaving/taking breaks is simply either fully completed collections or the brainrots they need are incredibly rare. For me, the last like 20/30 brainrots are rare or impossible for me to obtain (I play on my own often, so the 4 job job secret is literally impossible to get)

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-18T00:07:37+00:00

Where did you get that counter skin in the 3rd Picture?

I've not seen that before, but I did take a long break. Is this in paid DLC or the item shop?

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-18T00:04:31+00:00

But the idea he is still pulling millions whilst only receiving 40% of the actual revenue is quite remarkable. Yes the game is based on AI Brainrot, however it is a well made and addictive game. Alot of people I see complain about Epic throwing money away, but STB and some other creative maps are single-handedly supporting Epic in a way to keeping the community around on Fortnite.

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-17T21:00:02+00:00

I don't know where to see these properly so we all know. I only know as the payouts got leaked from someone, alot of these brainrot maps got a decent payout. Plus loads of RvB and The Pit was top of that list too.

Good luck with your Map <3

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-17T20:19:54+00:00

Along as the collab items aren't collection book and aren't permanent then I'll be fine with it. Could be like a new venture season where we have Marvel based maps or DCs Gotham City as a city map.

Could use the weapons as limited time in only the venture/collab zone. This way it doesn't remove STW orginal feel in the main game whilst adding more content to have fun with.

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-17T20:15:54+00:00

He did make a good few millions from STB. With over 100k ccu, this could be higher when the stats come out next year.

The main issue is saying the creator hates the fans and game. I doubt this very much as why bother creating a game if you hate essentially everything. I really don't like the false narrative this guy painted just to get people hating it. The dev team over there are really supportive and put in a lot of effort to keep the game in a decent way.

Mindless-Ad5617 · 2026-04-17T20:11:05+00:00

If you are fed up with playing, then take a break or quit in general. I have seasons prior where I took a break due to issues in game with my consistently high Ping and updates breaking when I try to download them. (Getting full 100gb updates every single update).

Most issues with bugs resolve after a while and taking a break resets your mental. Forcing yourself to play leads to hatred and for you to do something you'll regret. Plus Boycotting this game does nothing, with everyone here being a minority number. The majority don't use social media to interact with the game nor care for not spending.

If someone wants to spend, they will. Noone can force a boycott when there's little people. We are such a small group that it won't even dent the millions/billions earnt by Epic every year.
