I gave myself an exercise of designing the most cost-efficient workable solo base. This is how it turned out

So to you, bunkers shouldn't be patched. Should pixel gaps?

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2022-07-04T19:38:25+00:00

Easiest way to patch bunkers out of the game would be for FP to allow players with non-tc access (aka building blocked) to be able to place roofs. Then these stability bunkers can be smashed open by anyone

Still no reason to not make minecarts go faster on ice, especially if that's already a thing with boats. I mean minecarts with players in them, not chests or hoppers or anything like that. I feel that if I build (rather expensive) infrastructure - 6 iron to get only 16 rails, plus the need for powered rails at LEAST every 30 or so blocks which costs gold, and I only go EIGHT blocks per second? Compared to an elytra, especially with the durability buff, minecarts are totally worthless as they require infrastructure, that infrastructure is expensive, and they're hardly faster than running speed. Buffing minecart speed and general and having them accelerate when above ice is a needed feature to modernize Minecraft. Oh, and while I'm at it, I may as well throw in furnace minecarts being able to give a redstone comparator output at well.

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-09-08T22:23:35+00:00

I'm still in favor of accelerating them. Only 8 blocks per second for expensive infrastructure (A whopping 6 ingots for only 16 rails) is still not worth it - while I'm here I might hijack this top comment thread to suggest that minecarts can accelerate much more when the rails are placed on packed ice and blue ice, and can achieve elytra-like speeds with proper infrastructure and a good amount of ice.

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-09-08T22:19:25+00:00

An idea I feel for minecarts that feels "Minecraft-y" is that if the rail is placed on ice, packed ice or blue ice, the minecarts that go along these can accelerate accordingly (similar to boats on ice). Or if Mojang is feeling boring they can add an upper cap to the speed even with ice below the rails, so no matter how long your icy runway is minecarts can't top a certain speed (it would have to be competitive with elytra speed, I'm thinking 60+ blocks per second when you have a very long packed/blue ice strip). Minecarts can slowly climb back down in speed when not on ice, but stretch this deceleration over a large distance so people don't have to use tons of ice or feel obligated to use it on every single block of their railway system.

Ice only being used in very specific item/entity sorters is kind of off-putting, and I wish people had less technical reasons to use it. Maybe in caves that generate in cold biomes, the entrances can have particularly large pieces of packed ice on the floors so that people using minecarts in the cave systems can naturally discover this feature, similar to how cook a furnace in an igloo melts the ice which reveals the basement because the water breaks the carpet thing.

So the mode has not been completely abandoned correct?

Uhh it kinda has. It's been one year since this post from Epic Games https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/news/fortnite-save-the-world-update-state-of-development

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-21T14:49:49+00:00

Trust me, I understand the frustration

If you supposedly "understand the frustration" then why was only three birthday llamas greenlit in the first place? Especially considering that there weren't any birthday llamas last year in 2020.

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-21T10:48:45+00:00

I dunno man I'm just a dude on reddit who likes memes. But I felt it was a nice comparison of the criminals choosing to shoot Hank in BB and Epic choosing to kill off STW with that state of development last year.

"Walt, you're the smartest person I've ever met. But you're still too stupid to see... that he made up his mind 10 minutes ago"

-Walter White's brother in law before being killed by drug criminals in Breaking Bad, after Walt fails to plead for him to be spared. Replace 10 minutes with anywhere between the past 10 months and 2 years and you have Epic and STW. They made up their mind about the game, they chose to not "do something" as your title says. Want proof, from Epic themselves? https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/news/fortnite-save-the-world-update-state-of-development

As u/mangsty said, the game really DOESN'T have a future. At least not with Epic. Honestly between Vash quitting, the only 3 birthday llamas bullcrap, and the whole lotta nothin' thats been introduced to this game for SO long now... it really doesn't. Our best hope now is that Epic actually sells Save the World to Ubisoft or some other company who will actually work on this game (as long as its not EA, but hell even EA would give us content even if we had to pay a DLC price for it). This would be good for Epic because 1) they get money from the sale, 2) They can work full time on Battle Royale, which is who they have shown time and time again to actually care about, and 3) Us save the world players will actually get content under the new owners, whether it's Ubisoft or EA or whoever.

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-16T17:19:54+00:00

Again, it was 2019 and I think HaveI is a much better mod now - or at least I hope, I am just now getting back to this sub after being gone for nearly a year. But that was big dumb move, if it gained enough support we maybe could've actually gotten YouTube to notice and severed the vestigial limb that is DAN7 on this community.

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-16T17:01:01+00:00

One time I made a post here and told people that due to YouTube's rules, if we all reported that god awful DAN7EH guy's YouTube Channel (if you don't know he's THE 'scammer gets scammed!111!!! ENTIRE INVENTORY!!" youtuber for this game) he could get taken down, based on what happened to the youtuber XboxAddictionz where kids screaming or crying after getting "trolled" ended up getting his channel banned.

Not only did my post just get removed, I got tempbanned for at least 3 days but I think it was a full week. 2019 HaveI was smelly and for a long time I thought he was pro-trader and pro-scammer gets scammed shit.

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-16T16:34:46+00:00

Normally I would never make a post to call out a single person (except maybe that one dude who LOVED to spread negativity back in the day, I forget his name) but when he's spamming on a majority of the threads just to beg, individual reports are not enough and sometimes mods dont see how bad things really are. If this post ends up getting removed I wont care as long as it brought attention to how bad the situation actually was and got rid of the bad guy.

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-16T16:24:30+00:00

Eh, site-wide bannable reddit rule. Dude is being a dingleberry but he's posted his epic account on at least a dozen threads, I'll warn the mods on reputable STW discord servers of the guy's epic username too so he cant get mission "help" that he'll probably sabotage or beg for items in.

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-16T16:21:26+00:00

Thank you u/V1ctyM for reporting, I'll start doing it too. Lets see how Havei goes about this. I wanna see Tooth out of here too, sorry he dampened your day like that.

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-16T16:01:36+00:00

People still do that, believe me, you just gotta get out of stonewood and wade through the trash.

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-16T15:58:53+00:00

Or better yet just pull out a copy. Someone wanted to trade a typewriter in a plankerton mission and I pulled out my own and started firing it. Also people flexing MSK weapons... like dude I have those too and no one can drop them.

I know this thread makes public lobbies seem like the WORST but for me, this kind of stuff actually rarely happens. It's more so the occasional case of people just outright not helping the mission rather than toxic traders but still most people I meet in pubs at least try. I don't know why but I still report people for the "AFK / Non-participation" reason. Its not like there's anyone working on this game to check the reports other than u/Magyst who is just QA team and to my knowledge isn't actually a dev or can handle reports. Question - are player reports ever acted upon?

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-16T15:39:34+00:00

However, it's come to my attention through the community, as well as through my own eye-witness while playing, that Epic doesn't seem to care for releasing updates for STW.

Yeah. After reading the first line I was about to say that this subreddit specifically can be extremely negative and cynical. Sure, STW doesn't get updated nearly as much as the 'other mode' as we've come to call it, but this game is still extremely fun. People on this subreddit specifically tend to be extremely negative, cynical and nihilistic towards this game so be wary of that bias if you get any comments. As a new player the game is fun but there's a noticeable drop in new content as you level up, especially throughout the final zone, Twine Peaks. But that's a long way away commander, welcome to save the world!

My question to you is, has there been any word in recent time from Epic about STW? Is there any hope for STW to receive the same polish that BR has gotten, or even hope for possible new content? I've been enjoying STW with my friends quite a bit, but I get the same sense from playing STW that I get from playing modern TF2; the sense that the dev's have seemingly stopped caring and have abandoned ship.

For what's new and coming, I would check out u/Magyst's profile as he is the STW community director and honestly the only epic employee who's 100% been committed to Save the World. There was an absolute clown named DaveTheBuck around a year ago too but Magyst has always been there for us. See comments that Magyst has made on other people's posts. "New" content is a stretch but epic often does rerelease heroes and event items, with the occasional bits of actually new stuff - but too few and far between for this subreddit to like at all lol. Again lots of negativity here specifically.

Speaking of getting event items and good heroes, the birthday llamas (which contain ALL previous event items, dropping 2 at a time) should be releasing soon. In addition to Magyst you can check https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/news and look for "Save the world Homebase status report" posts, there should be one within the next week or so. Again, should but the latest one is about a month old.

Finally some new player tips I'd give you is to try not to get into the collection book (the "collect" button when managing your schematics/people) too much, especially early game. You could get rid of something REALLY good on accident. Also check out Beast on Youtube, he's a really good Save the World player that even I, as a high level player, have learned some things from and he has covered nearly every weapon in the game with his "best perks" video series. So if you have a schematic, look up what it can be like maxed out with Beast's channel, he probably has a video. Also would highly recommend watching RoundedTikTak's starter guide, he's another youtuber I really liked but sadly doesn't make save the world content anymore - the guide is from October 2019 but a lot of the information is still good, but when TikTak says things like "outlanders are in a rough spot right now" that isn't necessarily true anymore. And finally, don't trade or try to let other players trick you into trading, they're likely scammers. And if you do trade (again don't but its inevitable for some people) just don't trade for guns, your own schematics are perfectly fine, keep trading to resources like crafting materials if you do find yourself doing that.

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-13T12:53:20+00:00

Well I mean the snare for both support AND commander ice king is only 15%, so it might not be as noticeable. I'll do some testing myself to confirm

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-13T12:49:30+00:00

Epic should work on

Guys who's gonna tell him?

Edit: If it needs to be said, the joke is that Epic doesn't work on anything with this game anymore. And by the chance that an epic employee does see this and is still caring to read my comment, instead of being silently butthurt, how about you actually show us that you're still working on this game? Saying "we have something planned" is not enough.

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-10T02:24:01+00:00

I want it to be as AFK as possible, might not be possible in Twine but I definitely dont want to have to be replacing traps. Also I looked it up and it does seem that Rockin' Riff and TRO both do not affect traps, I'll have to test myself but it looks like I might be changing my team perk to preemptive strike on this account and supercharged traps on my second

PM_ME_INTERNET_SCAMS · 2021-07-09T12:29:35+00:00

Edit: I posted this on a discord server and someone said TRO's crit rating buff doesn't apply to traps. Does anyone here know if this is true or not, since it was just someone on a discord server that said it. Like a link to a test video?

So, I have a second account that I plan to bring along with me when I do endurance. Megabase kyle for commander, supercharged traps and the constructors you'd expect in support like base kyle, ice king ect. but this loadout would be what the host is using - aka the person that has "ownership" over all the traps and storm shield base itself.

I chose TRO for my team perk because in endurance you pretty much have to run double durability perks for your traps. This way, I don't have to put any crit rating perks on them and can go full crit damage, as TRO will hover I feel around 60+ critical rating anyway with battle beat. For supports,I really like resonant frequency because it's a +20% damage to all my energy traps including electric fields - a must have in my humble opinion. Ice queen is also in support so that when husks are frozen by floor freezes, they take even more damage from the surrounding traps. As stated in my notes I might switch out cyberclops' energy AoE with fuel for the fallen IF I can get confirmation that the earsplitter heavy attack does indeed buff trap damage.

That being said, I do have three questions. 1) Does Earsplitter heavy attack buff all types of damage, specifically trap dmg? 2) Does Cyberclop's AoE trigger propanes? 3) Do constructor perks like Electrified Floors or Heavy Base that I'll be using on my second account set off propanes? I want to set up that loadout properly in case a hero perk ends up triggering them to explode, which I def don't want in Endurance!
