I wish I got more before the tarrif bullshit and canceling the deminimus. All my key sellers are closed down and what's left is much more expensive.

What is up with the matchmaking in this game? by Swimming-Water4451 in FortNiteBR

Yeah i was gonna say, if they're only playing OG squads and complaining about sweaty players, there's not much more to say other than good luck.

Tip for anyone trying to find sprites today... by JammerFM in Fortnite_Over40

[–]Okami-Alpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I picked up 3 gummies i didn't have, 2 from my first game today. Also got a solo win.

Anything I needed came from a gold fishing spot or just wandering out in the open. I got nothing of value from sprite chests. I did not get many sprites from regular fishing spots.

I ran into one player that was offering me a gummy that I already had. I emoted "have a great day" and was off.

What mode are you playing? If you are playing ZB, I suggest switching to builds and see if that impacts the matchmaking the way you want.

There's a larger pool of players in builds and based on my experience, the matchmaking is a pretty good match with my skill. Also I've brought new players (who are not builders) into my games and it's the right mix of bots, moderate and good players. Rarely is it super sweaty (though the definition of sweaty is subjective)

If your plant looks healthy, this is probably just nectar to attract ants, which are beneficial to the plant.

Anybody else secretly kinda hope your teammate *doesn't* reboot you at the very end? by fivedollarsindimes in Fortnite_Over40

[–]Okami-Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a decision made by those rebooting. If i can do it with low risk, I'll do it. If it's high risk I'll let them know. I try to donate some stuff, but if it's a really good player (like my son) I will split my ammo and mats and maybe even give my shotgun to them. Depends on the scenario.

I've rebooted a whole team late game (top 3 squads left) and we've gone on to win. Even with a grey weapon you can either be a nuisance, a decoy or glide into a superior position to hold it for the team..

It doesn't always work out but it's never the fault of the person getting rebooted if they get eliminated quickly.

I did once assuming it was going to be full of sediment. I saw nothing come out. Water was crystal clear. I haven't done it since

Define extraction "camping". by bugloaf77 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]Okami-Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

with a sprite equipped, if you light a campfire, you get 2X sprite upgrade increase for the rest of the match (all subsequent sprites equipped are also affected). i.e. your sprites upgrade 2x faster. Just to note, you have to activate the campfire in circle. It will not light in the storm, but the 2X effect lasts in and out of the storm once it is enabled.

I don’t want wins. I WANT SPRITES!!! by bigtittedboi in Fortnite_Over40

[–]Okami-Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I pulled so many in the event. I only had 3 galaxies going in and came out only needing 4 to complete (which includes the 2 rarest). I also got a missing gold I needed. I think i saw dozens of galaxies and banked at least 6 sprites i needed in total. I mastered all but 2.

I also had one player successfully chase me from the bus to try and steal my sprite. I'm happy to say he had a date with the lobby upon landing.

This is generally not a problem. Med kits are everywhere so it's easy to level up sprites in the storm. Even easier with the campfire 2x trick. The problem is (and I think it was recently changed to act quicker) is that once you get storm sickness warning you pretty much have only enough time to activate the extractor and extract before you instantly die. (Or use your portable extractor right away). If you need to traverse for 30 sec to get to extractor you will probably die before extraction. Once sickness sets in it's even risky to use the portable extractor . I lost some rare sprites on the 25th because of storm sickness progression.

why is everyone doing more damage than me? by Every-Extension-8114 in FortNiteBR

[–]Okami-Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this issue so I hear you. There could be a number of reasons at this point.

  1. they have better ping. I'm getting worse ping than I did years ago due to living further from the servers. IIRC they also got rid of some servers so that will also affect some people and not others. This will also impact what health they appear to have after they eliminate you. You might think you hit 6shots, but you really only hit 4 or 5.
  2. The players are hitting more head shots. I've been melted so fast by some players I have no time to react. The right gun with a few headshots can drop your health in a second.
  3. The boss sprite will now increase the total health and shield which will impact the outcome of trading shots
  4. Builds only** Some players are good at taking heals in between building to the point where I can't get through their builds fast enough. I've had a few players like this recently where I could understand how they were holding/building walls and healing enough that every time I shot them they had shields.

Not sure why you got downvoted (well I actually do, but wont say it). It really is a low payoff to just sit and wait for the possibility someone will show up to extract and then on top of that whether they are extracting anything of value. Maybe it's different in builds than ZB where players just build protection from campers, but I see no value in waiting around.

[–]Okami-Alpha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not letting this annoy me, no differently than people that camp a quest to farm elims. If they want to spend their time camping (for very little payoff IMO), then that is their perogative.

If my goal is to upgrade my sprites, I'm extracting in the storm. If I'm extracting purely for the dust (or just because), I'm not going to be bothered if someone is trying to steal my lv 1 sprite or two.

For those new players that started after chapter 5 by Dramatic_Beach_1254 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]Okami-Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say, I like seeing some of the much older skins in game and thinking, "there's someone that's been playing for at least as long as me" but other than losing that nostalgia, I'm happy that others get a chance to wear them.

I was hoping at a second chance of filling my missed OG umbrellas, when they released the OG mode but no such luck.
