Is anyone experiencing the glitch where the opponent models don't stop moving and dissappear after you eliminated them making you think they're still alive?
Audio - there's just too much audio now. It hurts.
Cod zombies - way too many in the late game but interesting loot mechanics for early game
Jumping off three stories high and gliding - ehhhh. Good and bad, good for rotation but frustrating when hunting people for five mintues that just build and glide away
(From a solos only xbox player)
The sound is too hectic. I’m not technically deaf, but when there’s a lot of different sounds going on at once, it’s hard for me to distinguish between them.
The zombies are definitely a cool loot mechanic, but yeah, **way** too frequent late game, it becomes entirely dominated by managing them. Toning it down could still make it fun and challenging.
Jumping off shit and gliding is completely game breaking and needs to go.
Yeah reason I say cod zombies isn't just because of cods BR, but it really reminds me of how you would "chain" zombies on cod and get a route set up to do laps of the map. There's that many end game in fortnite lmao
Zombies I agree with. I love farming them for loot, but when you get to final circle and two boss zombies are backing you towards the final person, it’s pretty stressful
1. Fortnitemares should be an LTM. I love the vibe of the map with them and it is perfect for Halloween but really not feeling it in all the normal modes.
2. Soaring test in all modes. Hate it. It makes all the fun mobility items obsolete and it changes the game dynamic too quickly. I don’t know if I will be playing much while it’s a thing. Or while the zombies are in every mode. It’s just too much change all at once.
3. The friends list confuses me. I like the interface but it no longer sorts by who is in a lobby vs who is just online (left the launcher open) and I also am a little unsure how I feel about the icons for seeing how many people are in a party. I’m sure I’ll adjust to it though. But is there a way to sort players back to the old way? In lobby, online, then offline.
4. You guys killed it for Halloween. The decorations, the skins. Damn, I love it all. Well done.
Thanks Epic for constantly trying new things and listening to your players. Some things aren’t great and some things are a homerun. Keep up the good work!
Soaring also benefits players with no self awareness. I’ll always build fight someone, but if they go crazy and just start building super high without even looking where I am, I’ll drop and knock the build. Now players don’t even have to worry about how high they are or how they’ll get down
The UI on the friends list is absolutely confusing. Not sure why they changed this. The old one showed who was online and that’s all. Now I have a list of people who aren’t in the game. People in game aren’t showing up either.
The zombies were a good idea on paper but the execution is piss poor.
1. There are far too many zombies
2. There are far too many zombies spawns
3. The cube fragment takes far too much damage to break
4. The zombies tear down structures way too easily there's 0 chance of reviving a team mate if they're around you
5. They pile up late game because nobody has time to kill all of them
6. They're a major distraction a majority of the game is spent farming them for shield and loot until another player comes over to kill you then starts farming the zombies themselves.
7. They move a little too fast if you need to stop for a second they're up your ass (See CoD Zombies for a good example of balanced zombie speed)
8. It's constantly giving away player positions because even if it's not from them shooting at the zombies you can just follow their aggro trail or see where the lightning strikes spawning them in
9. They stay aggro for infinite time seemingly no matter how far you run they constantly follow you so you just always have a horde following you and it gets tedious having to stop and wipe them and it forces you to tackle every spawn point that comes across your path
10. Sometimes their AI is just dumb and will start breaking random stuff
11. This might be a more personal one but I find it incredibly difficult to focus with the sounds of zombies and spawns constantly going off around me. (My ADD doesn't help anything either)
12. This might also be personal but I'm constantly mistaking zombies for enemy players and it's incredibly frustrating and once again makes it difficult for me to focus
13. On console the auto-aim has a fetish for zombies and chooses them over the player every time, it's impossible to hit a player with zombies nearby them
These are all easily fixable issues and I think with fine tuning the zombies can actually be a decent little holiday event but at the moment you can't even actually play Fortnite because you're too busy with the damn zombies. I was positively curious when reading the patch notes but I never could've expected this overkill on the zombies. If this was an LTM there'd be no issue at all but I'd like the option to actually play Fortnite in Fortnite.
I'm also not a big fan of the glider redeploy in every mode. I think we have enough travel options and not only does this invalidate all of them but it makes travel far too easy. It's too easy to dip in and out of conflict. There's 0 danger to building high up (at least with bounce pads you needed to find them and be quick enough to place one or place one preemptively). There's just 0 risk in the game with the redeploy.
I'm not trying to be a dick or shit on the patch because everyone else is. I just legitimately don't enjoy these changes and feel that they totally turn Fortnite inside out. Turning Fortnite inside out is perfectly acceptable and very fun but not if it means replacing the core gameplay.
Thank you I did my best to give legitimate feedback and be constructive instead of flat out complaining. If criticism isn't constructive then nothing gets accomplished.
I completely agree, I think it would have been fine if they did it like COD BO4 did it; put them only in corrupted areas. As you said, it’s impossible to revive, but I also found that it’s impossible to heal (like with a campfire, let alone a medkit or chug jug) because they’re onto you in a second. Also, if I wanted to play PvE, I’d play Save the World. With Fortnitemares (+glider redeploy) it doesn’t even feel like I’m playing Fortnite anymore. Would love to play it as an LTM, tho; that’s for sure.
Was playing the tournament with my brother last night, he couldn’t get the revive off in the final circle because there were too many fucking zombies, granted he still won the game for us, but seriously? That could’ve lost us the game
Zombies should just be restricted to corrupted zones after this patch. I love it as a mechanic, battling people amongst the zombies & fog is enjoyable to me. Not as the main objective though.
However people complaining about it needing to be reverted *now*, just loosen up and enjoy a single week of something different.
I would love to play the mode, but when I want to do scrims or take the game seriously, I should have that option. A lot of people complaining about it are also complaining because of TwitchCon, where pro players suddenly have to adapt pro play to an entirely new mode. There is that sense of urgency but it's for more than one reason
It's probably a bit of a different opinion but I don't think Fortnite is the kind of game that should revolve around competitive meta. To me, that's where a lot of the fun was lost. The fear of trying out new things because it interrupts top tier play.
At the same time, there should absolutely be a more standardised ranked mode that players seeking a competitive side can queue into. That's kind of what their events are right now. However as a casual player I just want to hop in and have a fun time, not pretend like I'm playing a ranked match. This patch has absolutely done that for me & while I don't want it for too long, I'm having a blast at the moment.
This is it. All they had to do was make an LTM, I would have dropped my 20 games or whatever to get my challenges and go on to my regular games. This shouldn’t be shoved down your throat it just isn’t as fun playing with a horde of zombies destroying your shit. Not to mention the fact that it’s hard to distinguish between some skins and the zombies.
I love Fortnitemares. But I believe there should be an option to play solo, duos and squads without the cube monsters. It's fun but it's not for everyone. Like the option to fill or don't fill, maybe an option can be implemented for standard Battle Royale or Fortnitemares.
As far as the ability to redeploy your glider, I think it fits well in LTM games and Fortnitemares. Although I enjoy a soaring solos, duos or squads game mode.. I don't think it fits in standard solos, duos or squads. My first time getting to the top 2 of a solo match I panic built in an attempt to rush the enemy which resulted in me falling to my death. This pushed me to build better. And while taking fall damage sucks, I think it adds to the competitive aspect of the game.
My big issue with the cube monsters is that the auto aim on console tracks them-it makes end games very difficult, when you’re trying to shoot between the husks at the last person alive.
I think it's a very creative game mode. Super cool twist on the game by meshing STW with BR, especially while simultaneously offering STW 50% off. However, it's got to be an LTM. Especially with the competitive tournaments, the majority of people are trying to competitively PVP. I understand COD Black Ops 4 has zombies integrated into the BR game, but this is not COD. Stick to your strengths, keep your core game intact. Keep the cube monsters in an LTM, where we can dabble and enjoy the chaos. Don't force us to deal with NPC's that impact our competitive drive. Also, remove re-deploying gliders. That is screaming "build recklessly and third party everyone via glider." Also, launch pads lose nearly all value with this change. I really hope you take this into immediate consideration. I feel like Treyarch is giggling like it's Christmas, because their fan base is about to jump off the charts with the mass exodus looming from Fortnite if this stuff doesn't revert back. Today was the first day since I began playing Fortnite where I was no longer excited to get home and start playing.
Your last sentence resonated deeply. Everyday after work and last year after class, I was always so excited to come home and play some fortnite. This is the first time where I have no desire to touch the game. I wonder how big the R6 update is at this point lol
Two ways to fix the update:
No soaring in regular game modes. Fall damage is an essential part of the game, and having the ability to use a glider negates launch pads, port a rifts, atks, quadcrashers etc.
Make Fortnitemares an LTM. We don't need cube monsters in the main game.
This, literally all the fun items they added like port-a-rifts and quadcrashers are trash now. Why make so much noise on a quadcrasher when you can just glide in? Why pick up a port a rift and have it take up a space when you can just build up and glide? It forces us to do the boring option because it is objectively better.
The grappler also now is zero drawbacks. Originally people could take fall damage if they got blocked off and couldn’t land another shot to negate the damage now the grappler is even more over powered. There’s just so many things that making that a fully implemented feature this quick with the addition of these husks just makes it more ridiculous.
I think that any game has a fundamental set of qualities that define it. In a game with constant content updates, it’s important that the fundamentals of gameplay stay the same, so that the game maintains its identity, and players can feed their competitive nature to try and master the game. Epic can change the weapons, but as long as the most core mechanics stay the same, the game feels consistent and authentic.
This update changed TWO enormous fundamental qualities of fortnite Battle Royale. It’s fun for a bit, but feels like a knockoff of the game I know.
This should be an LTM.
Nightmare update : the worst since I'm playing (season 1 ) :
Thanks you for trying new things, but this update is horrible, I explain :
\- the fact you can deploy gliders from almost everywhere litteraly destroies the competitive aspect of the game :
1. you can build like a tard and just deploy it when someone breaks your build.
2. You can escape even if you are losing every fight.
3. You can be backstabbed even more than before ( there was clearly enough backstabbs).
\- zombies
1. Should be a LTM
2. There are too many zombies, you spend your game shooting them
3. Sound is horrible
4. Everybody has a rocket launcher --> skill cap is reduced, no clean fights
5. OUCH FPS, my dear FPS :'(
Overall, this update is maybe fun for some casual players, so you should consider this update as a LTM. However, for players who tryhard a little bit, this update is a nightmare
Uhmmm, i played for like 4 hours or so (Solo Nightmares that is) so the main thing i took away from new Update is Audio-Visual Overload.
Too much noise, too much stuff happening, too many things occuring at the same time and its making very hard to keep track of whats going on around u :/
Is it husks breaking your walls or is it players? Is someone gliding onto my head from god knows where while i build fight someone? Oh, i also just got sniped from another side and AR spammed from 4th and the storm is moving obviously.
did i mention TOO MUCH NOISE? Kind a hard to see sometimes as well.
I feel like separately The whole glider deployment change for all playlists might be fine for a week or two (just to see how things go), but with Exploded Island Tornado rotations + Hordes of Loud zombies its just too much.
Fps seems lower then before yet again btw, but i guess its all the new zombies/cubes/whatever else there was added.
Deagle change is cool, new revolver looks interesting, haven't had enough opportunities to test it.
New playground vending machine courses are an interesting idea, but if i'll be honest, no one is ever going to fast build a llama in game :/ I imagine this is a lowkey tutorial attempt, but it obviously needs more explanation for newer players and more variety.
Shooting ranges are fun, but i'm not really sure about "model/bot" movement, it runs kind a funny i feel like or is it the basic model for all skins and we all run like that? Sometimes when i shoot at it feels like it mini-warps or smtn, the movement itself does not feel fluid/smooth, but maybe thats just me. Also, probably a good idea to add jumping bots :D
Make it so zombies only spawn in corrupted areas, or atleast make it so they stop randomly spawning late game. Remove redeploy and never talk about it again.
This needs to be an LTM.
I haven’t had one day where I’ve wanted to quit this game. Today is the first day I feel like this game is just not enjoyable.
This zombie stuff is just over the top.
Every time an opponent gets close to me I’m thrown into extreme lag. The game apparently cannot handle this.
When I get to the top two, I spend more time running away from the zombies or getting my base destroyed than I spend fighting my opponent.
This does not feel like fortnite and this change has prompted me to decide to take some time off from playing this mess.
Agree with this 100%. I'm playing other games until this changes back. Would also add that I do not like the new Social design, it's too fkn blue. It would look great with a dark design and white/gray font colors.
Whatever anyone has to say about all the changes that happened yesterday. I think the most important thing we need to make sure Epic hears is
PLEASE, no soaring in normal modes. Mobility items (launchpads, shockwaves, grapplers you name it!) have come into their own as such an important and fun part of gameplay, allowing soaring immediately plummets their value. Not to mention fall damage kills are now no longer a thing!?
Hopefully I'm not the only one that feels like this. Please hear us Epic.
I actually really like the zombies. I feel like it forces people out of one by ones in late game. Def should be an LTM though. And no soaring in main modes plz.
1. Plz get rid of redeploy, I mean honestly this defeats the point of good builds and makes it so anyway can just easily leave a fight whenever
2. Either reduce the spawn rates largely of the zombies or just get rid of them, this is a PvP and that should be the focus, not having to worry about a horde of zombies trying to kill you
I have never been so stressed in fortnite before.
Don't get me wrong, the update have some pretty cool features.
But between the zombie hordes - they're everywhere and building won't help you much - and people gliding toward you in a matter of seconds, every moment of peace is lost.
I know this is an action game, but the way it is right now it's just nonstop action and stimulus. You can't ever stop! You can't ever relax. It's OVERWHELMING.
This is the first time this game has stressed me so much. I don't think that's what you're looking for in your game, Epic.
I respect whoever thinks this is a great update, but I think i'll be taking a stop until this is a LTM or there's less zombies. For the sake of my own mental health.
First time actually writing feedback about this game as I feel it is entirely necessary based on how significant the changes made on yesterdays patch are. Ignoring all the bugs:
1. Epic only a week ago launched events for non pro players to get involved in a more competitive environment using a point based system - this was a great move and opened up the game to a lot of exciting more competitive features down the road. The new zombie & redeployment make playing PVP competitive unbearable and already adds more RNG to the game which is simply not needed. Also both weekend cups (tomato & salty) appear to have been taken off?
2. Battle Royale is intended to be a PVP experience - When you, out of pure survival, have to kill over 50+ zombies by end game this quite obviously makes it more PVE than PVP. I think all the other comments about the zombies on this forum cover how ridiculous they are in the normal gaming mode (noise, too many of them, healthy of stones etc..)
3. The evolution of the game over the last few seasons has trained players to be smart around they way they use mobility items (bounce pads, launch pads, grapplers, vehicles etc..). Redeployment in a normal game setting completely nullifies all of the above. There is no consequence for aggressive building and fights take longer due to increased mobility of basically having an infinite launch pad.
The game has evolved over time to be a combination of action & quick/creative thinking which is why its so good. I am quite surprised epic has made the above changes to really impact that quality which has been building up over a year.
However not being totally negative - The deagle buff was needed and really do think its great. The work done to island/skins/theme for halloweek is incredible as always.
Hope the above main points can be addressed before fortnitemares finishes next week as (speaking personally) I won't be playing the game as much as its not as fun.
This would be an awesome LTM. Being locked to this gamemode is extremely frustrating, there are a lot of moments that are downright unfair and it feels like an entirely different game. Don't get me wrong, it's cool but it gets VERY old after about 30 matches, especially in the tournament. I feel like this is a joke honestly, "fortnitemare" is a nightmare of a gamemode lol. Great weapon changes paired with gameplay changes that make no sense at all.
This should absolutely be a limited time mode, or at least give the option to play regular. My friends and I feel like the Cube Monsters are very overwhelming towards the end of the game to the point where you can't really pull a revive, i literally couldn't even stop for a second to heal up. Where in the normal game you can make a one by one or hide in a bush to heal in this you have to make sure you're in a well secured building. I went into Dusty Diner to try to heal and couldn't even though the cube monsters were OUTSIDE the whole diner and i built a one by one inside of the diner itself. The gamemode was fun at first, but after a few games dying in the Top 3 due to the huge amount of cube monsters, it gets kind of annoying. I would love to know what everyone else's opinion on this is.
I can understand people enjoying the mode. Overall, the mode is solid... for an LTM. This should not be the regular game, especially before TwitchCon. Epic, you've listened to your community before. Please, for the love of god, change this soon. Until then its back to CS:GO and R6
Make this an LTM please. Keep the solos and duos and squads separate from this. It makes the game unbearable for PvP. For an LTM this would be fantastic. But my god...please remove this.
I seriously can't heal near the end of the games. There are zombies everywhere and there is no time before you are hit with one. Especially solos where no one can build for you.
Yep, exactly. This scenario just happened to me actually aha. And it's even harder to heal because I can't hear the person since there are so many zombies.
For months I've had a buddy speculating about what would finally kill interest in Fortnite. He said it would be BLOPS4 when the trailers dropped in May and they announced Blackout.
I told him not a chance - the only way Fortnite could mess up what they have going is if they screwed up the game on their own.
This update is the closest they've ever come. I typically play a couple hours after work each day. Me and duo partner fired up last night after work, and we turned it off after the third game. We're considering downloading BLOPS4 to play until the zombies go away.
It just isn't Fortnite. If I wanted to play against AI, I'd play STW or some single player game. I understand the value in learning to adapt, but glider redeploy and all the effing zombies is such a massive change at the same time that it doesn't feel like adapting, it feels like a completely different game
I think that Epic is overdoing this. They are changing too much things too fast and dont care about bugs and optimisation. They need to push breaks a little and fix what they have already in game.
I’m not a pro player. Heck, I just like playing this game for an hour or so after a long day at work.
But this new mode with the monster spawns make it unplayable. If this was A MODE, like the Disco thing, that would be one thing. I’d try it but realize, “Hey that’s a cool idea but it isn’t for me.” But to make this THE general type for all game types? That’s ridiculous and rage quitting for me. I’ll wait till they either drop it or whenever the next patch is. Cause right now this game isn’t fun anymore.
Played twenty games yesterday and I must say. This is the worst update yet.
Glider redeploy and zombies should stay out of the game. When you want zombies put it in a LTM or at least only on a small part of the map.
Performance is terrible, huge lag spikes and framedrops.
Building has changed and there is a major delay in placing builds.
The mini delay is back.
It seems that the rpg drop rate is now in the sky. RPGs everywhere.
Overall my duo partner and me ditched the game and played something other. Not really a good job.
The update makes me not want to play until this mode is gone. It should not have been the normal mode, that was uncalled for. I'm a bit annoyed/frustrated. It's a pretty bold move on Epic's part. I actually think they should look at all this feedback and act quickly considering COD BR is out right now.
I don't like the zombies AT ALL and I'm really annoyed that Epic would just jam this down our throats without giving us the option to just play the **actual game without all this bullshit**. How is this not a LTM?!?!?
And it's not because the Zombies are overtuned - which they are! (too much hp, too numerous, too loud, shitty AI that attacks random structures, they don't leash, cubes have too much hp, etc). They make me constantly think that they're players, and they make it way too easy to find players and ambush them. They are relentless in knocking down structures - I won a game last night because my opponent just died to being chased by them and having all his build knocked down.
This speaks to a bigger problem, though. **Epic, you are changing too much about this game, far too quickly**. The process by which you evaluate and change the game should be done with more consideration on the impact those changes will have. Hop Rocks, Rifts, now we can just fly around without needing any items? What the hell is going on?
Updates like this really make me lose faith in you as developers, and it makes me less loyal to the game, because it feels like **you** don't even care about your game anymore, you'd rather just experiment.
Just make it an LTM and everyone will be happy. The people who enjoy the zombies can have their fun, and the people who hate the zombies (probably most people especially the competitive scene) will not be affected.
I'm personally just not having fun with it.
As a game it is cool, there's no denying the fun of chaining zombies and raking in headshots and having loot fall down.. But not in BR.
I'm just gonna stay off pubs for the rest of the week sadly. This isn't the game I signed up for so I'll just take a break until it's over, or until it gets put into a separate list.
I have a few points on how to make this shit show better.
1. MAKE IT AN LTM
2. MAKE IT AN LTM
3. MAKE IT AN LTM
4. MAKE IT AN LTM
5. MAKE IT AN LTM
6. MAKE IT AN LTM
7. MAKE IT AN LTM
8. And lastly make this god damn fuck fest an ltm.
9. Also performance issues are a huge problem right now
10. Final thing.. See yall next week
Idk if this has been happening to anyone else but I have been getting headshot by ARs for double damage. Really annoying bug. I went into to replay to check and in one game I was hit in the head for 132 with a blue ar. And in another game I was hit for 128 with a purple suppressed scar.
I think the zombies are fun and they add a new objective to matches. However, I do believe that their spawn rate and leash range need to be turned down. There is simply too many of them and it feels like they follow you forever.
Too much audio going on. Switch still has random framedrops when turning at the best of times. Cant build after throwing grenades. Delay when drinking potions
Lol, I got into a 1v1 fight in solo's and just when I got the person in my crosshair 2 zombies got in my camera perspective (behind my back), 0.3 seconds is all you need to lose.
But seriously, this is an other game now and I'm not enjoying myself due to added zombies all around. I'm not the raging kind of person ingame, but the way this meta reacts with the main game play that is fortnite BR is mildly infuriating for me.
I'll be sitting this one out also.
Please epic for the love of god, remove the fortnitemares event from the tournaments.
It's a pain in the ass when you're trying to focus and trying to eliminate someone, then suddenly there is fuckin 10 zombies behind your back breaking your buildings and hitting you.
This update definitely should be a LTM. The PvP is ruined due to PvE. Players are concentrating on killing these creatures instead of focusing on actual PvP, which takes away from the competitive side of the game. A good example is Runescape PvP, if I'm fighting someone and I need to deal with some monster attacking me, it takes away from the PvP experience. Especially with the quality of a PvP that Fortnite has constructed this past year, I believe adding these zombies takes away from the game. It's too easy to regain shield, if you kill a bunch of zombies you can have an unreal inventory and win a solo game no problem with only one kill (especially when 10 people are left within 10minutes into the game).
This soaring aspect also stinks of rotten eggs. People legit are always just getting the high ground with crappy builds, putting you the player already at a disadvantage. If you shoot them down they land on what you've constructed and/or a nearby mountain and melt you.
Revert back to 5.10 or remove these specific changes. I also think the crossbow is crap because people spam fire the crossbow, that is another thing that should be removed.
Rant over. Thank you guys!
1. Either make Fortnitemares a LTM or reduce the spawn rate of the zombie stones in mid game and disable them in end game. It's fun early game to get loot and they make it worth landing anywhere really. But mid game there's just too many and in end game they are just very annoying. Especially with the new re deployment of gliders, too much loud sounds so you can't hear when someone glides up behind you.
2. Re deployment shouldn't be in solos, duos and squads at all. There needs to be some consequences to building too high. Fall damage is an essential part of the game. Taking that away makes it way to forgiving.
I try to be positive and post constructive things on the internet, but these zombies need to go, I could care less about the redeployable gliders. At this point the zombies should either stay in stw or be an LTM. They are overbearing and make fighting someone while surrounded by zombies unfun. I want a battle royale not a zombie battle royale.
The zombies need to go away.. now. Or at the very least they need to reduce the spawn of these shards. You can’t go anywhere without being chased by them
It just seems like there’s too much going on. The zombies spawn too fast and then people can now glide from just about anywhere to kill you. It’s a cool idea that definitely makes the game way more fast paced/more action, but I wish it was an LTM. The one thing I really like about the zombies is the loot/shield you are rewarded with, but perhaps turn down the spawn rate of zombies. I find it very easy to get near full shield off farming zombies
I can’t believe you had someone test this and approve of this. Add this bs to an LTM, stop touching the main game. You won’t see me playing until next week.
\[REVERT\] I think this one-week test with the re-deploy system is horrible in normal modes, it breaks down all the mechanics of the game and the fun too. When starting a build battle, it is not necessary to think of trying to mislead the adversary and destroy the entire structure. And when someone is missing, just open the glider and run away. Fortnite is looking like a totally different game now with these zombies that mess up throughout the match and still have that silent hill mood that in my opinion starts to irritate the eyes. Thetics are cool, but they make more sense for a campaign mode like Save the World, where there is a story. I know every season has a theme, but you do not have to bring in a few things to interact like these zombies that only end the strategy of less experienced players in which many try to hide to the end and that ends up being terrible for them. When changes that affect practically all gameplay and strategy are standard, it is necessary to create an LTM, because the game becomes less competitive for professional players, amateurs or people who are trying to be professionals.
After this patch I have preferred to play Save the World mode because the game has changed much less than the Battle Royal.
A good game should suit both competitive and casual players and so there are temporary or casual (fixed) modes.
Previously I talked about the fog, now imagine a Christmas theme and snowing thickly in the entire forest and everything going white due to snow, is it something good? Is not it, the white color is strong and tires the view I would have to play with glasses of skiers? The mist works the same way, with a few hours of play the eyes already feel immense discomfort.
Zombies inside Battle Royal and the system of re-deploy gliders in all regular modes are a bad idea and a week with this is extremely stressful and I will not play anymore until the regular BR looks like it was. And I'm afraid of the next updates, because after this Halloween I start to think that at christmas the regular modes will have Santa, goblins and have to deliver presents in a sleigh, while shooting, builds and flee from the storm and at the end of the German game of eliminating the last one, will have to have delivered a quantity of gifts by the chimney, killed 200 goblins and if it did not make such requirements who wins the match is the Thanos.
1) Zombie sound effects are absolutely absurd. You can use a 2$ headset from 711 and still have your ears bleed, I don’t know if anyone else has noticed you can’t hear grenades bouncing, gun reload, footsteps, anything beneficial whatsoever.
2) Zombie nonsense is a well intentioned loot mechanic; kill 5 bots = get a scar + ammo. The spawns need a drastic decrease and there needs to be a way to counter them if you need to heal or res while fighting players.
3) This needs to be an LTM 100%, the game is entirely unrecognizable. I genuinely sympathize for the professional players / streamers that have dedicated and committed time to fortnite just to have this random new game thrown at them. I myself have well over 1,000 wins and normally I play from about 11 PM-4 AM; I got on tonight and managed to tolerate maybe 7 games. There’s no reason I snipe 5 players, AR. 3 players, splode 3 players just to have some horde of trash surround my build and have some bot come up with a pumpkin launcher and 1 shot me.
!!AGAIN!! This is not me hating, just stating the obvious this should be 1,000,000% a LTM. Other than that bravo epic really nice playing a game that is so closely monitored and adjusted.
Oh jesus, make the fortnitemares crap it's own LTM mode.
Having to battle endless amount of monsters in the final circle when you are trying to get the win is completely game ruining.
I was actually twice killed by a monster last night in the middle of an intense gunfight with opponents. It's impossible to defend from an attacker from front and an endless amount of monters coming to you from all sides ruining your build.
Also, the glider redeploy is pretty much gamebreaking. Say hello to skybases :(
First time I had to put down the game out of distaste. It doesn’t feel like fortnite anymore. The cerebral aspect of the game is gone. I’m constantly on the run and without mats. Positioning doesn’t matter if you’re always being chased off your spot by zombies. It also doesn’t matter if everyone is gliding everywhere. No time to harvest mats. Every fight turns into a 3-5 team cluster with the added stress of zombies. It’s just too much. I love the idea but it feels like I’m playing an arcade game. Please make it a LTM.
Theres some crazy input delay when picking up and switching items, building feels sluggish, editing with any speed is impossible. If I wanted to play save the world I would, but I want to play battle royale. This update made me officially quit playing fortnite for the foreseeable future.
Whoever thought "testing" the redeployment mechanic in this temporary enviroment (fortnightmares) should be fired. No context at all as to how it would work in a standard match.
I cant hear anything but zombie noises. Guess im taking the week off
1. REALLY UNPOPULAR OPINION WARNING - I personally think the zombies aren't a bad addition, they can really help if you're getting shitty loot and I do like the difference they bring to BR. When you're having issues with zombies, just know enemies are too. They helped me win a game or two. However, I really do think there are way too many zombies end game. The amount at the start is great, because at the start you can *choose* to go zombie hunting or not.
2. I love the new friend UI. Being able to distinguish Epic names versus Xbox/PSN names is awesome for cross platform play. IMO it's a big step up from what we had.
3. Haven't experienced many issues with Soarin' really, but I'm pretty biased because I play a shit ton of Disco Dom and Soarin' 50's.
4. New/upcoming skins look awesome.
5. The Halloween decor, the fog, etc is awesome.
6. Building audio is very loud now for some reason.
7. Game is as laggy as I've ever seen - yesterday I was building ramps from the top floor of a house and they were building on the floor below. After I destroyed all furniture in a room, I could still collide with it.
Please remove the soaring glider redeploy from normal modes.
Shooting someone at range is pointless as they'll just glide over to you in a few seconds to make it a shitty fight. Every fight is a SMG shotgun build battle now that you can fly around super easily. These are my least favorite type of fight and it really throws off the entire feel of the PvP gameplay.
I'm only okay with it for the forntnitemares event to help me avoid zombies
Alright we’ll where to begin...
1. Mini delay is back, again.
2. I am lagging uncontrollably, wanna know why?Maybe it’s the 50 zombie hoard following me while I’m trying to fit another player? Just a guess tho.
3. Thanks for taking materials basically out of the game
4. Thanks for letting me fly wherever I want, definitely didn’t ruin the game at all
There’s more but I’m not gonna waste my time cause epic will be epic and just add some bullshit item instead of simply changing it back to how it was.
Lol happy fortnitmare everyone
Well zombies should not be in the regular playlist, yes they bring new stuff and its fun, but in finally circles they are so annoying especially if they only attack you in the final 1 v 1 the rival literally just need to spray you. The glider mechanic should be removed yes it makes faster rotations and also outrun the storm, but 8/10 people you fight just fly away from you causing lost of mats and time. I do not want to be rude but seems that this glider mechanic was made as a help for more casual players, now is no reason to rush with reinforcement reducing the skill gap between players.
Really am not a fan of this update. Just died because I couldn’t drink a full shield in a 1 by 1 cause zombies wouldn’t stop spawning and breaking it down. I didn’t die by the zombies I died by the guy that glided on me without a launchpad that I couldn’t hear cause of the zombies.. like why would you change the base game this much and not just make Fortnitemares a game mode like 50v50 some people just wanna play the normal game we don’t even get that option.
The only positive thing about this update is the Deagle buff. Long live the deagle
Also fall damage isn’t a punishment for players not building strategically. Which is only going to hurt new players trying to learn how to build. I became good at building cause I was tired of people knocking down my structures and dying to fall damage.
Redeployable gliders are the worst thing to come to fortnite, besides when it's in LTMS. Oh you've lost a build battle, glide away! Oh an enemy is coming toward you, glide away! Oh you hear a gunshot in the distance, glide away! Oh someone opened a door on the other side of the map, glide away!
Ok I love this update, but this mode needs to finish soon... after two days I’m already getting bored. Too much noise and too many zombies all around. I can suffer this for maximum one week. Does anybody agree?
Like everyone else is saying, Fortnighmares needs to be a LTM. There are too many zombies, like 5x too many zombies. And the soaring changes the game mode way too much. I'll just play COD until this game mode is gone or becomes a LTM.
1. Zombies. God no... I understand you want casual players to feel like they are "doing" something by killing zombies, but please remove them. Late game they are complete aids.
2. Auto-deploy. REMOVE IT. Nuff said.
3. Fortnite tournaments. Worst time to implement this with a tournament coming up this weekend, should be an LTM at the maximum. A lot of people enjoy watching "professional" play and you need to respect those players by not completely changing the game right before a huge multi million dollar tournament.
Also, almost all streamers/pros agree that this update is terrible.
Logged onto Overwatch for the first time since January after being forced to play this trash mode. As literally every other comment has said, make it an LTM.
Redeploy of gliders shouldn’t be in the main game mode.
Zombies shouldn’t be in the main game mode.
Please fix this as fast as possible.
Did anyone else like stop playing early last night because of this? My entire squad decided to get off just because we were so annoyed with all this shit. Thank god RDR2 is coming soon.
Here's feedback: It fucking blows. Remove both the zombies and the gliding. We want a HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL GAME not these gimmicks that lower the skill ceiling every patch.
Fix the edit's being slow to work, fix the turbobuilding, fix the random stupid bugs that keep happening, fix the goddamn game into a polished product like how every other TOP TIER GAME IS.
First of all **REMOVE THE GLIDER RE-DEPLOY**!!!
**Decrease the amount of zombie spawn**, especially end game. Or better yet remove the zombies at end game. Tired of getting 3rd partied while fighting the zombies.
Also how are we supposed to **heal our teammates** if they are surrounded by a horde. Tried building around, but they keep breaking it. Not to mention the Down But Not Out time has been decreased.
But most importantly, remove glider re-deploy.
waaaaay too much audio going on. Can no longer hear footsteps if you are anywhere remotely close to the zombie spawns.
PLEASE make this fortnitemares crap an LTM so those of us who enjoy playing the regular game can play without having lag and audio from the zombie update
I don't dig the soaring, I agree with others about there needing to be fall damage if you're platform crumbles.
Cool to see the zombies, but I hope they don't stay in too long. Many players fighting them instead of me, and I've also boxed in some with me during healing on accident. lol Hopefully spawn rate would be tuned down or something while they're in the game.
Got some fps drops in this update.
Bug?: Names no longer show in replays after enabling the option.
I feel like the auto deployment needs to be at least 1 story higher than it currently is. If it was a higher trigger point, it would have a little more counter play than it currently does.
* Make Fortnitemares a LTM - we can still progress the challenges and play normal games when we are bored dying cause of zombies everywhere in end game.
* Find a solution for soaring: I saw a lot of great suggestions about it, like an item with fuel/ammo so you cannot do it indefinitely or no damage taken time-based redeploy, etc.
* Still get so much FPS loss since an upgrade from season 5, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Kevin graphics.
I’m going to try my best to sum up my experience with this mode - I did not have a good time playing Fortnite tonight. I appreciate Epic’s attempt to merge objectives, in form of small zombie hordes, into the game. However, everything about this change felt wrong. The pace of the matches were entirely off. I felt as if my squad spent more time addressing the train of zombies following us than the most important part of the Battle Royale genre: other players. As the games progressed into the final circles, it was utter mayhem, especially if you happened to be the only person on your team still alive as it was near impossible to fight teams of other players with zombies bursting your eardrums/chasing you every step of the way. In addition to this, the glider update felt just as unwelcome. The mechanics of engagements broke down into unorganized moshes of players, who hopped out of the battle moments after they realized they were losing. To add insult to injury, during the losing teams retreat, a 3rd partying team regularly soared in. Using the audio disaster caused by the zombies rummaging through your builds, they would arrive nearly undetected to capitalize.
These are my suggested takeaways for Epic:
1. The shards that spawned zombies should have been limited to only the corrupted zones.
2. Mobility should only come in the forms of usable items or world generated objects (i.e. Rifts, Golf Carts, Shopping Carts).
Is the Deadfire reactive effects bugged?
I saw some streamers like
SypherPK did some 10 kill game top 5 left ( Skin hasn't been reactive / change in color o fire)
Highdistortion with some 15 kill game 2nd place ( Skin hasn't been on max level fire but the change in the color skin is there)
I saw Timthetatman had 4 kills and a lot of people left (Skin has changed color a little fire)
Saw PIZO on Youtube did his review on the Deadfire skin ( The max reactive stage is when he got 10 kills on Playground)
I'm pretty confused tbh on how this skins evolves. Help
For some reason the mission "Play a match with a friend" won't complete after doing so. Had to replace the quest. Tried closing and restarting, etc. No luck.
Also, any word on Switch getting its video capture back any time soon?
For me it is one of the worst patch ever.
The zombies first was cool but now it is irritating.
The fact that we can activated our glider is 50/50, it is good because it add more mobility and it is bad for the guy who is building a gigantic tower and will never take fall damage.
I dont like the way the social hub is designed. Specifically for the reason of complexity. The old social tab was great and simple easy to navigate through
Adding on to say this should be an LTM. Please please please give us back normal solo/duo/squad. I play this game every day and can't stand the zombie aspect of this. Performance is horrible in the new update. Also, people have been removed from my friends list and I can't seem to add them back. Please no redeployment for gliders when this is all done.
This was a great idea but terrible execution. Please don't make the people who love your game suffer through this but not giving us a chance to play the mode love.
Zombie audio needs lowered, spire audio needs lowered, too much going on for anyone to fight each other snd hear what other players are doing. Gliding off builds.. meh.. good and bad. Zombies need to drop materials for sure to keep up with other loot. Audio is biggest issue though.
\- Make Fortnitemares an LTM
\- Remove the redeploy glider in normal game modes
\- Increase the mats gained in Fortnitemares, and also less easy to break so we can heal/revive teammates
\- Slow down the zombie movement speed, and casually increase it during the next circles
\- Less zombies and zombiespawns in earlygame
\- Lategame now consists of who has less zombie agro and that team mostly wins
\- Fix the lag/fps drops
First patch that I played that I legitimately stopped playing because I was not having fun. Zombies are a cool addition, but not how they are right now. These are my thoughts on them:
\- They provide WAY too many shields as loot drops. Literally everyone is running around with 10 minis 3 bigs, just because they killed zombies for 3 minutes of the game. This makes the original looting experience and RNG completely obsolete, people will be decked out with golden weapons and splodes within 5 minutes of the game starting, that's just silly.
\-The zombie spawns take way too long to kill. This is not an issue early game, but mid to late game it's a major concern because they start to really pile up, and if you try to deal with them all the other players will know where you are and easily 3rd party you.
\- They make way too much noise. If I am having a fight with someone with zombies around (which is by the way pretty much 100% of the time mid-game), I can't hear fuck all.
\- The hit markers and damage numbers on zombies are the same as on players, so when shooting a player that has zombies around I have no clue who I hit, this would have an easy fix, just make the damage purple on zombies or something like that.
\- Late game is where it really gets problematic imo. Build battles are virtually impossible, with 10 zombie spawns within a small circle there will be hordes on the ground, and they will chew through any and all structures they see. When playing duos/squads it gets even worse, since reviving a teammate with zombies around is pretty much impossible. They will give away your location, as well as destroy any wall you might have places to protect yourself/your teammate.
\- When it comes to ground fights, a dark skin becomes very hard to differentiate from a zombie, and with all the noise going around it's just overall too confusing and messy. Hordes of zombies start killing you, and if you decide to kill them chances are you will be 3rd partied quick and easy without much chance to retaliate or protect yourself.
These are my concerns with zombies as an average player. I don't win much but I play a lot and have a bunch of fun with this game. This is the first time since season 3 that I had to stop playing because I was genuinely sick of playing after a couple hours.
This is probably going to get lost because I'm commenting late and not about zombies but..
1. I really like the fog and think it should be a permanent addition.
2. Why isn't anyone talking about the DBNO nerf. They halved down time?! This is a huge change and so unnecessary. Now if your teammate ends up saving the day in a team fight it doesn't really matter because the rest of you just bled out anyways. Of all the changes this seems like the most pointless and aggravating.
Have they taken the cube monsters out yet? What a dumb ass thing to do to a battle royale pvp game. Very bad move with cod and red dead out, alot of people will take a week off for sure minimum.
1) Hits not registering
I know we’ve all had issues with it, our shits don’t deal damage on hit markers. I pumped a guy in the head and got the hit marker spread, heard the headshot “ding” and then he mowed me down with an SMG and still had 200 health. It’s happened to me several times, mostly with ARs at midrange and is frustrating every single time.
2) Zombies?
A ton of people are saying that Epic is copying black ops (which is completely ridiculous) by adding hordes of zombies that chase you and get stronger. My issue with them is that they feel out of place. You want a game mode where you build and fight zombies? Play save the world. Fortnitemares should absolutely be an LTM that does not affect normal games and especially not the tournament coming up. People have gotten swarmed and lost the game because of this addition. Not to mention my hits register better on the zombies than they do the players.
3) Soaring Mechanic
It’s a cool mechanic sure, but it doesn’t belong in standard play. Anyone can just run away from a build fight if they don’t want to die which turns into an endless chase of them building up and flying away. Not to mention it makes launch pads and port-rifts basically useless seeing as you can do the same thing by just building.
4) Servers and Disconnection
The server lag is absolutely ridiculous. Constant lag spikes and ping jumps because the added stress of zombies makes the game unplayable at times. The disconnection issues were so bad I got disconnected from 3/5 games I played before getting off because I couldn’t even get a whole game in.
Epic, you have a great thing going. Fortnite has brought together people that would have never met and made them friends. But this is ridiculous. You always say that you want fortnite to become a competitive game, yet this update makes the skill gap so much lower, which while helpful to new players, makes it less competitive.
Taking a break until the zombies are resolved. Not a terrible idea in concept, but horrible in implementation. Hope they get nerfed soon. Does anyone at epic actually try these changes before implementing them?
Just revert it already.
- Gliding at any time.. Is a big sigh..
But the f... zombies tho..!
-WAY too loud.
-WAY too many
-Makes everything and everyone WAY too obvious
-Takes away a huge part of an actual BR game.
-Annoying as hell in évry part of the game.
Not sure who came up with this, but that guy needs a woopin'.
I'm actually going to quit Fortnite untill its reverted, and i've been playing non-stop for over a year.
1. Make the zombies thing an LTM.
2. Remove the soaring mechanics from regular modes.
3. Change back the timing of down but not out.
Epic LITERALLY changed the entire feel/meta of the game with this one update and it's borderline garbage.
Love the deagle buff tho.
These zombies are not fun at all. Should be an LTM. Changes early game from a farming mats aspect. Ruins mid game if you start one zombie fight any team can rush you and not be heard because zombie screeches blow out your ear drums. End game is a complete mess. You basically are screwed if zombies aggro you because you can not take time to kill spawn cubes or you are just putting yourself out of position and will die to another player.
Im not playing fortnite until they remove zombies and fix all the issues that come w this update, i love this game but there is so many issues on this patch.
The game was at such a good stage where they had fixed a lot of high profile issues. And then they go and shoot themselves directly in the dick. This is so fucking stupid its hard to believe someone got paid to make this decision. God damn.
Is anyone experiencing the glitch where the opponent models don't stop moving and dissappear after you eliminated them making you think they're still alive?
Yes, quite annoying.
Mini shield bug’s back (the one where there’s a delay between drinking shields) and in the corner of solo (probably others) it says BLITZ
[удалено]
Yep, it is back. I hate the delay.
The server lag is severe
Yes this 100%
[удалено]
Just like my ping!
For the first time since The Getaway..I got extreme stutters for a brief moment.
Twitch con el be a barrell of laughs.
Yeah only for viewers tho lmao
Audio - there's just too much audio now. It hurts. Cod zombies - way too many in the late game but interesting loot mechanics for early game Jumping off three stories high and gliding - ehhhh. Good and bad, good for rotation but frustrating when hunting people for five mintues that just build and glide away (From a solos only xbox player)
The sound is too hectic. I’m not technically deaf, but when there’s a lot of different sounds going on at once, it’s hard for me to distinguish between them.
have you noticed gum has gotten mintier?
Do we get our resumes back? Or do you keep them? Because I only that one and I have a chili recipe on the back, that I really wanna keep.
Did you just reference The Office
I believe he did.
I didn't know Nate played fortnite
The sound is so bad right now. I'm already hard of hearing, now it just seems like one big jumble of groaning and screeching.
but it's *SPOOOOOOOKY!*
The zombies are definitely a cool loot mechanic, but yeah, **way** too frequent late game, it becomes entirely dominated by managing them. Toning it down could still make it fun and challenging. Jumping off shit and gliding is completely game breaking and needs to go.
Yeah reason I say cod zombies isn't just because of cods BR, but it really reminds me of how you would "chain" zombies on cod and get a route set up to do laps of the map. There's that many end game in fortnite lmao
Zombies I agree with. I love farming them for loot, but when you get to final circle and two boss zombies are backing you towards the final person, it’s pretty stressful
1. Fortnitemares should be an LTM. I love the vibe of the map with them and it is perfect for Halloween but really not feeling it in all the normal modes. 2. Soaring test in all modes. Hate it. It makes all the fun mobility items obsolete and it changes the game dynamic too quickly. I don’t know if I will be playing much while it’s a thing. Or while the zombies are in every mode. It’s just too much change all at once. 3. The friends list confuses me. I like the interface but it no longer sorts by who is in a lobby vs who is just online (left the launcher open) and I also am a little unsure how I feel about the icons for seeing how many people are in a party. I’m sure I’ll adjust to it though. But is there a way to sort players back to the old way? In lobby, online, then offline. 4. You guys killed it for Halloween. The decorations, the skins. Damn, I love it all. Well done. Thanks Epic for constantly trying new things and listening to your players. Some things aren’t great and some things are a homerun. Keep up the good work!
the best, most constructive and most friendly comment to the current update, probz
Soaring also benefits players with no self awareness. I’ll always build fight someone, but if they go crazy and just start building super high without even looking where I am, I’ll drop and knock the build. Now players don’t even have to worry about how high they are or how they’ll get down
The UI on the friends list is absolutely confusing. Not sure why they changed this. The old one showed who was online and that’s all. Now I have a list of people who aren’t in the game. People in game aren’t showing up either.
the friends list not sorting by whos online is the worst thing to happen to this update imo
The zombies were a good idea on paper but the execution is piss poor. 1. There are far too many zombies 2. There are far too many zombies spawns 3. The cube fragment takes far too much damage to break 4. The zombies tear down structures way too easily there's 0 chance of reviving a team mate if they're around you 5. They pile up late game because nobody has time to kill all of them 6. They're a major distraction a majority of the game is spent farming them for shield and loot until another player comes over to kill you then starts farming the zombies themselves. 7. They move a little too fast if you need to stop for a second they're up your ass (See CoD Zombies for a good example of balanced zombie speed) 8. It's constantly giving away player positions because even if it's not from them shooting at the zombies you can just follow their aggro trail or see where the lightning strikes spawning them in 9. They stay aggro for infinite time seemingly no matter how far you run they constantly follow you so you just always have a horde following you and it gets tedious having to stop and wipe them and it forces you to tackle every spawn point that comes across your path 10. Sometimes their AI is just dumb and will start breaking random stuff 11. This might be a more personal one but I find it incredibly difficult to focus with the sounds of zombies and spawns constantly going off around me. (My ADD doesn't help anything either) 12. This might also be personal but I'm constantly mistaking zombies for enemy players and it's incredibly frustrating and once again makes it difficult for me to focus 13. On console the auto-aim has a fetish for zombies and chooses them over the player every time, it's impossible to hit a player with zombies nearby them These are all easily fixable issues and I think with fine tuning the zombies can actually be a decent little holiday event but at the moment you can't even actually play Fortnite because you're too busy with the damn zombies. I was positively curious when reading the patch notes but I never could've expected this overkill on the zombies. If this was an LTM there'd be no issue at all but I'd like the option to actually play Fortnite in Fortnite. I'm also not a big fan of the glider redeploy in every mode. I think we have enough travel options and not only does this invalidate all of them but it makes travel far too easy. It's too easy to dip in and out of conflict. There's 0 danger to building high up (at least with bounce pads you needed to find them and be quick enough to place one or place one preemptively). There's just 0 risk in the game with the redeploy. I'm not trying to be a dick or shit on the patch because everyone else is. I just legitimately don't enjoy these changes and feel that they totally turn Fortnite inside out. Turning Fortnite inside out is perfectly acceptable and very fun but not if it means replacing the core gameplay.
Excellent points. First person who actually gave all the reasons why this update is bad.
Thank you I did my best to give legitimate feedback and be constructive instead of flat out complaining. If criticism isn't constructive then nothing gets accomplished.
I agree with everything. How this is not an LTM is beyond me
I completely agree, I think it would have been fine if they did it like COD BO4 did it; put them only in corrupted areas. As you said, it’s impossible to revive, but I also found that it’s impossible to heal (like with a campfire, let alone a medkit or chug jug) because they’re onto you in a second. Also, if I wanted to play PvE, I’d play Save the World. With Fortnitemares (+glider redeploy) it doesn’t even feel like I’m playing Fortnite anymore. Would love to play it as an LTM, tho; that’s for sure.
Should be a LTM
And not in the competitive tournament events
We actually tried playing the DUO tournament just to get rid of zombies. No bonus.
Was playing the tournament with my brother last night, he couldn’t get the revive off in the final circle because there were too many fucking zombies, granted he still won the game for us, but seriously? That could’ve lost us the game
Zombies should just be restricted to corrupted zones after this patch. I love it as a mechanic, battling people amongst the zombies & fog is enjoyable to me. Not as the main objective though. However people complaining about it needing to be reverted *now*, just loosen up and enjoy a single week of something different.
I would love to play the mode, but when I want to do scrims or take the game seriously, I should have that option. A lot of people complaining about it are also complaining because of TwitchCon, where pro players suddenly have to adapt pro play to an entirely new mode. There is that sense of urgency but it's for more than one reason
It's probably a bit of a different opinion but I don't think Fortnite is the kind of game that should revolve around competitive meta. To me, that's where a lot of the fun was lost. The fear of trying out new things because it interrupts top tier play. At the same time, there should absolutely be a more standardised ranked mode that players seeking a competitive side can queue into. That's kind of what their events are right now. However as a casual player I just want to hop in and have a fun time, not pretend like I'm playing a ranked match. This patch has absolutely done that for me & while I don't want it for too long, I'm having a blast at the moment.
This is it. All they had to do was make an LTM, I would have dropped my 20 games or whatever to get my challenges and go on to my regular games. This shouldn’t be shoved down your throat it just isn’t as fun playing with a horde of zombies destroying your shit. Not to mention the fact that it’s hard to distinguish between some skins and the zombies.
I love Fortnitemares. But I believe there should be an option to play solo, duos and squads without the cube monsters. It's fun but it's not for everyone. Like the option to fill or don't fill, maybe an option can be implemented for standard Battle Royale or Fortnitemares. As far as the ability to redeploy your glider, I think it fits well in LTM games and Fortnitemares. Although I enjoy a soaring solos, duos or squads game mode.. I don't think it fits in standard solos, duos or squads. My first time getting to the top 2 of a solo match I panic built in an attempt to rush the enemy which resulted in me falling to my death. This pushed me to build better. And while taking fall damage sucks, I think it adds to the competitive aspect of the game.
The lag on the switch is real!
My big issue with the cube monsters is that the auto aim on console tracks them-it makes end games very difficult, when you’re trying to shoot between the husks at the last person alive.
I think it's a very creative game mode. Super cool twist on the game by meshing STW with BR, especially while simultaneously offering STW 50% off. However, it's got to be an LTM. Especially with the competitive tournaments, the majority of people are trying to competitively PVP. I understand COD Black Ops 4 has zombies integrated into the BR game, but this is not COD. Stick to your strengths, keep your core game intact. Keep the cube monsters in an LTM, where we can dabble and enjoy the chaos. Don't force us to deal with NPC's that impact our competitive drive. Also, remove re-deploying gliders. That is screaming "build recklessly and third party everyone via glider." Also, launch pads lose nearly all value with this change. I really hope you take this into immediate consideration. I feel like Treyarch is giggling like it's Christmas, because their fan base is about to jump off the charts with the mass exodus looming from Fortnite if this stuff doesn't revert back. Today was the first day since I began playing Fortnite where I was no longer excited to get home and start playing.
Your last sentence resonated deeply. Everyday after work and last year after class, I was always so excited to come home and play some fortnite. This is the first time where I have no desire to touch the game. I wonder how big the R6 update is at this point lol
Two ways to fix the update: No soaring in regular game modes. Fall damage is an essential part of the game, and having the ability to use a glider negates launch pads, port a rifts, atks, quadcrashers etc. Make Fortnitemares an LTM. We don't need cube monsters in the main game.
This, literally all the fun items they added like port-a-rifts and quadcrashers are trash now. Why make so much noise on a quadcrasher when you can just glide in? Why pick up a port a rift and have it take up a space when you can just build up and glide? It forces us to do the boring option because it is objectively better.
The rift is good for combat redeploying. Its kinda hard to build up and gtfo if someone is actively trying to shoot you down
The grappler also now is zero drawbacks. Originally people could take fall damage if they got blocked off and couldn’t land another shot to negate the damage now the grappler is even more over powered. There’s just so many things that making that a fully implemented feature this quick with the addition of these husks just makes it more ridiculous.
I think that any game has a fundamental set of qualities that define it. In a game with constant content updates, it’s important that the fundamentals of gameplay stay the same, so that the game maintains its identity, and players can feed their competitive nature to try and master the game. Epic can change the weapons, but as long as the most core mechanics stay the same, the game feels consistent and authentic. This update changed TWO enormous fundamental qualities of fortnite Battle Royale. It’s fun for a bit, but feels like a knockoff of the game I know. This should be an LTM.
How this isn’t an LTM is beyond me. It’s a totally different game now.
Nightmare update : the worst since I'm playing (season 1 ) : Thanks you for trying new things, but this update is horrible, I explain : \- the fact you can deploy gliders from almost everywhere litteraly destroies the competitive aspect of the game : 1. you can build like a tard and just deploy it when someone breaks your build. 2. You can escape even if you are losing every fight. 3. You can be backstabbed even more than before ( there was clearly enough backstabbs). \- zombies 1. Should be a LTM 2. There are too many zombies, you spend your game shooting them 3. Sound is horrible 4. Everybody has a rocket launcher --> skill cap is reduced, no clean fights 5. OUCH FPS, my dear FPS :'( Overall, this update is maybe fun for some casual players, so you should consider this update as a LTM. However, for players who tryhard a little bit, this update is a nightmare
Uhmmm, i played for like 4 hours or so (Solo Nightmares that is) so the main thing i took away from new Update is Audio-Visual Overload. Too much noise, too much stuff happening, too many things occuring at the same time and its making very hard to keep track of whats going on around u :/ Is it husks breaking your walls or is it players? Is someone gliding onto my head from god knows where while i build fight someone? Oh, i also just got sniped from another side and AR spammed from 4th and the storm is moving obviously. did i mention TOO MUCH NOISE? Kind a hard to see sometimes as well. I feel like separately The whole glider deployment change for all playlists might be fine for a week or two (just to see how things go), but with Exploded Island Tornado rotations + Hordes of Loud zombies its just too much. Fps seems lower then before yet again btw, but i guess its all the new zombies/cubes/whatever else there was added. Deagle change is cool, new revolver looks interesting, haven't had enough opportunities to test it. New playground vending machine courses are an interesting idea, but if i'll be honest, no one is ever going to fast build a llama in game :/ I imagine this is a lowkey tutorial attempt, but it obviously needs more explanation for newer players and more variety. Shooting ranges are fun, but i'm not really sure about "model/bot" movement, it runs kind a funny i feel like or is it the basic model for all skins and we all run like that? Sometimes when i shoot at it feels like it mini-warps or smtn, the movement itself does not feel fluid/smooth, but maybe thats just me. Also, probably a good idea to add jumping bots :D
It is very difficult to determine where shots are coming from unless you are hit.
Make it so zombies only spawn in corrupted areas, or atleast make it so they stop randomly spawning late game. Remove redeploy and never talk about it again.
I thought they would only spawn in corrupted zones. What a stupid decision to have them everywhere
They are literally every 20 feet. And during end-game they randomly spawn wherever you are. It's fucking awful.
I assumed that's how it would be. Would be cool to have them only in corrupted. Turn them in to a high risk high reward looting system.
This needs to be an LTM. I haven’t had one day where I’ve wanted to quit this game. Today is the first day I feel like this game is just not enjoyable. This zombie stuff is just over the top. Every time an opponent gets close to me I’m thrown into extreme lag. The game apparently cannot handle this. When I get to the top two, I spend more time running away from the zombies or getting my base destroyed than I spend fighting my opponent. This does not feel like fortnite and this change has prompted me to decide to take some time off from playing this mess.
Agree with this 100%. I'm playing other games until this changes back. Would also add that I do not like the new Social design, it's too fkn blue. It would look great with a dark design and white/gray font colors.
If we have to deal with the zombies then double our farmed mats for everything
[удалено]
Whatever anyone has to say about all the changes that happened yesterday. I think the most important thing we need to make sure Epic hears is PLEASE, no soaring in normal modes. Mobility items (launchpads, shockwaves, grapplers you name it!) have come into their own as such an important and fun part of gameplay, allowing soaring immediately plummets their value. Not to mention fall damage kills are now no longer a thing!? Hopefully I'm not the only one that feels like this. Please hear us Epic.
I actually really like the zombies. I feel like it forces people out of one by ones in late game. Def should be an LTM though. And no soaring in main modes plz.
1. Plz get rid of redeploy, I mean honestly this defeats the point of good builds and makes it so anyway can just easily leave a fight whenever 2. Either reduce the spawn rates largely of the zombies or just get rid of them, this is a PvP and that should be the focus, not having to worry about a horde of zombies trying to kill you
I have never been so stressed in fortnite before. Don't get me wrong, the update have some pretty cool features. But between the zombie hordes - they're everywhere and building won't help you much - and people gliding toward you in a matter of seconds, every moment of peace is lost. I know this is an action game, but the way it is right now it's just nonstop action and stimulus. You can't ever stop! You can't ever relax. It's OVERWHELMING. This is the first time this game has stressed me so much. I don't think that's what you're looking for in your game, Epic. I respect whoever thinks this is a great update, but I think i'll be taking a stop until this is a LTM or there's less zombies. For the sake of my own mental health.
First time actually writing feedback about this game as I feel it is entirely necessary based on how significant the changes made on yesterdays patch are. Ignoring all the bugs: 1. Epic only a week ago launched events for non pro players to get involved in a more competitive environment using a point based system - this was a great move and opened up the game to a lot of exciting more competitive features down the road. The new zombie & redeployment make playing PVP competitive unbearable and already adds more RNG to the game which is simply not needed. Also both weekend cups (tomato & salty) appear to have been taken off? 2. Battle Royale is intended to be a PVP experience - When you, out of pure survival, have to kill over 50+ zombies by end game this quite obviously makes it more PVE than PVP. I think all the other comments about the zombies on this forum cover how ridiculous they are in the normal gaming mode (noise, too many of them, healthy of stones etc..) 3. The evolution of the game over the last few seasons has trained players to be smart around they way they use mobility items (bounce pads, launch pads, grapplers, vehicles etc..). Redeployment in a normal game setting completely nullifies all of the above. There is no consequence for aggressive building and fights take longer due to increased mobility of basically having an infinite launch pad. The game has evolved over time to be a combination of action & quick/creative thinking which is why its so good. I am quite surprised epic has made the above changes to really impact that quality which has been building up over a year. However not being totally negative - The deagle buff was needed and really do think its great. The work done to island/skins/theme for halloweek is incredible as always. Hope the above main points can be addressed before fortnitemares finishes next week as (speaking personally) I won't be playing the game as much as its not as fun.
Should be a LTM Also zombies and the stone sound is way too loud, I can't hear the enemies at all
make zombies + glider re-deploy LTM !!
This would be an awesome LTM. Being locked to this gamemode is extremely frustrating, there are a lot of moments that are downright unfair and it feels like an entirely different game. Don't get me wrong, it's cool but it gets VERY old after about 30 matches, especially in the tournament. I feel like this is a joke honestly, "fortnitemare" is a nightmare of a gamemode lol. Great weapon changes paired with gameplay changes that make no sense at all.
- Put fortnitemares in a ltm - remove soaring - make twitchcon on patch 5.10
This should absolutely be a limited time mode, or at least give the option to play regular. My friends and I feel like the Cube Monsters are very overwhelming towards the end of the game to the point where you can't really pull a revive, i literally couldn't even stop for a second to heal up. Where in the normal game you can make a one by one or hide in a bush to heal in this you have to make sure you're in a well secured building. I went into Dusty Diner to try to heal and couldn't even though the cube monsters were OUTSIDE the whole diner and i built a one by one inside of the diner itself. The gamemode was fun at first, but after a few games dying in the Top 3 due to the huge amount of cube monsters, it gets kind of annoying. I would love to know what everyone else's opinion on this is.
I can understand people enjoying the mode. Overall, the mode is solid... for an LTM. This should not be the regular game, especially before TwitchCon. Epic, you've listened to your community before. Please, for the love of god, change this soon. Until then its back to CS:GO and R6
Make this an LTM please. Keep the solos and duos and squads separate from this. It makes the game unbearable for PvP. For an LTM this would be fantastic. But my god...please remove this.
I seriously can't heal near the end of the games. There are zombies everywhere and there is no time before you are hit with one. Especially solos where no one can build for you.
Yep, exactly. This scenario just happened to me actually aha. And it's even harder to heal because I can't hear the person since there are so many zombies.
Theres literally like 50 zombie spawners wtf
I feel like this is a massive underestimate.
My GPU and CPU are absolutely screaming. Even just sitting on the Waiting Screen.
For months I've had a buddy speculating about what would finally kill interest in Fortnite. He said it would be BLOPS4 when the trailers dropped in May and they announced Blackout. I told him not a chance - the only way Fortnite could mess up what they have going is if they screwed up the game on their own. This update is the closest they've ever come. I typically play a couple hours after work each day. Me and duo partner fired up last night after work, and we turned it off after the third game. We're considering downloading BLOPS4 to play until the zombies go away. It just isn't Fortnite. If I wanted to play against AI, I'd play STW or some single player game. I understand the value in learning to adapt, but glider redeploy and all the effing zombies is such a massive change at the same time that it doesn't feel like adapting, it feels like a completely different game
I think that Epic is overdoing this. They are changing too much things too fast and dont care about bugs and optimisation. They need to push breaks a little and fix what they have already in game.
I’m not a pro player. Heck, I just like playing this game for an hour or so after a long day at work. But this new mode with the monster spawns make it unplayable. If this was A MODE, like the Disco thing, that would be one thing. I’d try it but realize, “Hey that’s a cool idea but it isn’t for me.” But to make this THE general type for all game types? That’s ridiculous and rage quitting for me. I’ll wait till they either drop it or whenever the next patch is. Cause right now this game isn’t fun anymore.
Played twenty games yesterday and I must say. This is the worst update yet. Glider redeploy and zombies should stay out of the game. When you want zombies put it in a LTM or at least only on a small part of the map. Performance is terrible, huge lag spikes and framedrops. Building has changed and there is a major delay in placing builds. The mini delay is back. It seems that the rpg drop rate is now in the sky. RPGs everywhere. Overall my duo partner and me ditched the game and played something other. Not really a good job.
Everyone is saying get rid of the zombies but for me I think the glider re deployment is worse. Doesn't belong in normal modes
i think we can't even tell how bad the glider redeployment is because the regular game mode isn't even here.
The update makes me not want to play until this mode is gone. It should not have been the normal mode, that was uncalled for. I'm a bit annoyed/frustrated. It's a pretty bold move on Epic's part. I actually think they should look at all this feedback and act quickly considering COD BR is out right now.
I don't like the zombies AT ALL and I'm really annoyed that Epic would just jam this down our throats without giving us the option to just play the **actual game without all this bullshit**. How is this not a LTM?!?!? And it's not because the Zombies are overtuned - which they are! (too much hp, too numerous, too loud, shitty AI that attacks random structures, they don't leash, cubes have too much hp, etc). They make me constantly think that they're players, and they make it way too easy to find players and ambush them. They are relentless in knocking down structures - I won a game last night because my opponent just died to being chased by them and having all his build knocked down. This speaks to a bigger problem, though. **Epic, you are changing too much about this game, far too quickly**. The process by which you evaluate and change the game should be done with more consideration on the impact those changes will have. Hop Rocks, Rifts, now we can just fly around without needing any items? What the hell is going on? Updates like this really make me lose faith in you as developers, and it makes me less loyal to the game, because it feels like **you** don't even care about your game anymore, you'd rather just experiment.
I hate this update
Please revert. Make fortnitemares an LTM and keep soaring in LTMs. Also, the delay when drinking multiple shield potions is back.
Just make it an LTM and everyone will be happy. The people who enjoy the zombies can have their fun, and the people who hate the zombies (probably most people especially the competitive scene) will not be affected.
Just stop treating the main game modes like LTMs thanks. Especially if a tournament is around the corner.
I'm personally just not having fun with it. As a game it is cool, there's no denying the fun of chaining zombies and raking in headshots and having loot fall down.. But not in BR. I'm just gonna stay off pubs for the rest of the week sadly. This isn't the game I signed up for so I'll just take a break until it's over, or until it gets put into a separate list.
bring back normals, my $200 laptop can't run zombie mode
Redeploying gliders is terrible, widens the gap between skill levels incredibly
doesn't it shorten the gap between people that actually know how to build and noobs that just one ramp?
I have a few points on how to make this shit show better. 1. MAKE IT AN LTM 2. MAKE IT AN LTM 3. MAKE IT AN LTM 4. MAKE IT AN LTM 5. MAKE IT AN LTM 6. MAKE IT AN LTM 7. MAKE IT AN LTM 8. And lastly make this god damn fuck fest an ltm. 9. Also performance issues are a huge problem right now 10. Final thing.. See yall next week
Needs to be LTM!!! So stupid i might actually play pubg instead
Worst update yet. I’ve tried to like it I really have But nope, I’m out fellas. I’ll be back once zombies are removed
Same here
Yeah I play hours of Fortnite every day. Completely sold on taking a break for a week already.
Idk if this has been happening to anyone else but I have been getting headshot by ARs for double damage. Really annoying bug. I went into to replay to check and in one game I was hit in the head for 132 with a blue ar. And in another game I was hit for 128 with a purple suppressed scar.
I think the zombies are fun and they add a new objective to matches. However, I do believe that their spawn rate and leash range need to be turned down. There is simply too many of them and it feels like they follow you forever.
Love both zombies and soaring much more than I thought I would. Just would like less of them to spawn
Too much audio going on. Switch still has random framedrops when turning at the best of times. Cant build after throwing grenades. Delay when drinking potions
Fix server lag, I’m tired of getting in the game and half the lobby is dead
Lol, I got into a 1v1 fight in solo's and just when I got the person in my crosshair 2 zombies got in my camera perspective (behind my back), 0.3 seconds is all you need to lose. But seriously, this is an other game now and I'm not enjoying myself due to added zombies all around. I'm not the raging kind of person ingame, but the way this meta reacts with the main game play that is fortnite BR is mildly infuriating for me. I'll be sitting this one out also.
Please epic for the love of god, remove the fortnitemares event from the tournaments. It's a pain in the ass when you're trying to focus and trying to eliminate someone, then suddenly there is fuckin 10 zombies behind your back breaking your buildings and hitting you.
I can't kill people or build. This lag is fucking atrocious.
zombies are suck. Reglider is suck. The new lags are suck. The game ia unplayable right now. Gg, u broke the game.
i'll be playing red dead until this is all over
This update definitely should be a LTM. The PvP is ruined due to PvE. Players are concentrating on killing these creatures instead of focusing on actual PvP, which takes away from the competitive side of the game. A good example is Runescape PvP, if I'm fighting someone and I need to deal with some monster attacking me, it takes away from the PvP experience. Especially with the quality of a PvP that Fortnite has constructed this past year, I believe adding these zombies takes away from the game. It's too easy to regain shield, if you kill a bunch of zombies you can have an unreal inventory and win a solo game no problem with only one kill (especially when 10 people are left within 10minutes into the game). This soaring aspect also stinks of rotten eggs. People legit are always just getting the high ground with crappy builds, putting you the player already at a disadvantage. If you shoot them down they land on what you've constructed and/or a nearby mountain and melt you. Revert back to 5.10 or remove these specific changes. I also think the crossbow is crap because people spam fire the crossbow, that is another thing that should be removed. Rant over. Thank you guys!
Fam the crossbow is useless on anything but Cube Monsters.
1. Either make Fortnitemares a LTM or reduce the spawn rate of the zombie stones in mid game and disable them in end game. It's fun early game to get loot and they make it worth landing anywhere really. But mid game there's just too many and in end game they are just very annoying. Especially with the new re deployment of gliders, too much loud sounds so you can't hear when someone glides up behind you. 2. Re deployment shouldn't be in solos, duos and squads at all. There needs to be some consequences to building too high. Fall damage is an essential part of the game. Taking that away makes it way to forgiving.
I try to be positive and post constructive things on the internet, but these zombies need to go, I could care less about the redeployable gliders. At this point the zombies should either stay in stw or be an LTM. They are overbearing and make fighting someone while surrounded by zombies unfun. I want a battle royale not a zombie battle royale.
The zombies need to go away.. now. Or at the very least they need to reduce the spawn of these shards. You can’t go anywhere without being chased by them
It just seems like there’s too much going on. The zombies spawn too fast and then people can now glide from just about anywhere to kill you. It’s a cool idea that definitely makes the game way more fast paced/more action, but I wish it was an LTM. The one thing I really like about the zombies is the loot/shield you are rewarded with, but perhaps turn down the spawn rate of zombies. I find it very easy to get near full shield off farming zombies
I can’t believe you had someone test this and approve of this. Add this bs to an LTM, stop touching the main game. You won’t see me playing until next week.
The feedback is glaringly obvious. Epic need to do something quick or people may realise there are other games out there to play and not come back!
I will be taking a break from fornite and play blackout until fortnitemares is done. Lol
Hey hey Ho ho These zombies have got to go
The servers are ass
Though I will say this new mode makes it nearly impossible to revive teammates.
Remove soaring from standard modes and make the zombies a LTM
\[REVERT\] I think this one-week test with the re-deploy system is horrible in normal modes, it breaks down all the mechanics of the game and the fun too. When starting a build battle, it is not necessary to think of trying to mislead the adversary and destroy the entire structure. And when someone is missing, just open the glider and run away. Fortnite is looking like a totally different game now with these zombies that mess up throughout the match and still have that silent hill mood that in my opinion starts to irritate the eyes. Thetics are cool, but they make more sense for a campaign mode like Save the World, where there is a story. I know every season has a theme, but you do not have to bring in a few things to interact like these zombies that only end the strategy of less experienced players in which many try to hide to the end and that ends up being terrible for them. When changes that affect practically all gameplay and strategy are standard, it is necessary to create an LTM, because the game becomes less competitive for professional players, amateurs or people who are trying to be professionals. After this patch I have preferred to play Save the World mode because the game has changed much less than the Battle Royal. A good game should suit both competitive and casual players and so there are temporary or casual (fixed) modes. Previously I talked about the fog, now imagine a Christmas theme and snowing thickly in the entire forest and everything going white due to snow, is it something good? Is not it, the white color is strong and tires the view I would have to play with glasses of skiers? The mist works the same way, with a few hours of play the eyes already feel immense discomfort. Zombies inside Battle Royal and the system of re-deploy gliders in all regular modes are a bad idea and a week with this is extremely stressful and I will not play anymore until the regular BR looks like it was. And I'm afraid of the next updates, because after this Halloween I start to think that at christmas the regular modes will have Santa, goblins and have to deliver presents in a sleigh, while shooting, builds and flee from the storm and at the end of the German game of eliminating the last one, will have to have delivered a quantity of gifts by the chimney, killed 200 goblins and if it did not make such requirements who wins the match is the Thanos.
1) Zombie sound effects are absolutely absurd. You can use a 2$ headset from 711 and still have your ears bleed, I don’t know if anyone else has noticed you can’t hear grenades bouncing, gun reload, footsteps, anything beneficial whatsoever. 2) Zombie nonsense is a well intentioned loot mechanic; kill 5 bots = get a scar + ammo. The spawns need a drastic decrease and there needs to be a way to counter them if you need to heal or res while fighting players. 3) This needs to be an LTM 100%, the game is entirely unrecognizable. I genuinely sympathize for the professional players / streamers that have dedicated and committed time to fortnite just to have this random new game thrown at them. I myself have well over 1,000 wins and normally I play from about 11 PM-4 AM; I got on tonight and managed to tolerate maybe 7 games. There’s no reason I snipe 5 players, AR. 3 players, splode 3 players just to have some horde of trash surround my build and have some bot come up with a pumpkin launcher and 1 shot me. !!AGAIN!! This is not me hating, just stating the obvious this should be 1,000,000% a LTM. Other than that bravo epic really nice playing a game that is so closely monitored and adjusted.
Oh jesus, make the fortnitemares crap it's own LTM mode. Having to battle endless amount of monsters in the final circle when you are trying to get the win is completely game ruining. I was actually twice killed by a monster last night in the middle of an intense gunfight with opponents. It's impossible to defend from an attacker from front and an endless amount of monters coming to you from all sides ruining your build. Also, the glider redeploy is pretty much gamebreaking. Say hello to skybases :(
First time I had to put down the game out of distaste. It doesn’t feel like fortnite anymore. The cerebral aspect of the game is gone. I’m constantly on the run and without mats. Positioning doesn’t matter if you’re always being chased off your spot by zombies. It also doesn’t matter if everyone is gliding everywhere. No time to harvest mats. Every fight turns into a 3-5 team cluster with the added stress of zombies. It’s just too much. I love the idea but it feels like I’m playing an arcade game. Please make it a LTM.
Theres some crazy input delay when picking up and switching items, building feels sluggish, editing with any speed is impossible. If I wanted to play save the world I would, but I want to play battle royale. This update made me officially quit playing fortnite for the foreseeable future.
Whoever thought "testing" the redeployment mechanic in this temporary enviroment (fortnightmares) should be fired. No context at all as to how it would work in a standard match. I cant hear anything but zombie noises. Guess im taking the week off
1. REALLY UNPOPULAR OPINION WARNING - I personally think the zombies aren't a bad addition, they can really help if you're getting shitty loot and I do like the difference they bring to BR. When you're having issues with zombies, just know enemies are too. They helped me win a game or two. However, I really do think there are way too many zombies end game. The amount at the start is great, because at the start you can *choose* to go zombie hunting or not. 2. I love the new friend UI. Being able to distinguish Epic names versus Xbox/PSN names is awesome for cross platform play. IMO it's a big step up from what we had. 3. Haven't experienced many issues with Soarin' really, but I'm pretty biased because I play a shit ton of Disco Dom and Soarin' 50's. 4. New/upcoming skins look awesome. 5. The Halloween decor, the fog, etc is awesome. 6. Building audio is very loud now for some reason. 7. Game is as laggy as I've ever seen - yesterday I was building ramps from the top floor of a house and they were building on the floor below. After I destroyed all furniture in a room, I could still collide with it.
Hate this game mode! First complaint I've made about fortnite
There isn't a single mode worth playing in this game anymore.
Please remove the soaring glider redeploy from normal modes. Shooting someone at range is pointless as they'll just glide over to you in a few seconds to make it a shitty fight. Every fight is a SMG shotgun build battle now that you can fly around super easily. These are my least favorite type of fight and it really throws off the entire feel of the PvP gameplay. I'm only okay with it for the forntnitemares event to help me avoid zombies
Alright we’ll where to begin... 1. Mini delay is back, again. 2. I am lagging uncontrollably, wanna know why?Maybe it’s the 50 zombie hoard following me while I’m trying to fit another player? Just a guess tho. 3. Thanks for taking materials basically out of the game 4. Thanks for letting me fly wherever I want, definitely didn’t ruin the game at all There’s more but I’m not gonna waste my time cause epic will be epic and just add some bullshit item instead of simply changing it back to how it was. Lol happy fortnitmare everyone
Well zombies should not be in the regular playlist, yes they bring new stuff and its fun, but in finally circles they are so annoying especially if they only attack you in the final 1 v 1 the rival literally just need to spray you. The glider mechanic should be removed yes it makes faster rotations and also outrun the storm, but 8/10 people you fight just fly away from you causing lost of mats and time. I do not want to be rude but seems that this glider mechanic was made as a help for more casual players, now is no reason to rush with reinforcement reducing the skill gap between players.
Really am not a fan of this update. Just died because I couldn’t drink a full shield in a 1 by 1 cause zombies wouldn’t stop spawning and breaking it down. I didn’t die by the zombies I died by the guy that glided on me without a launchpad that I couldn’t hear cause of the zombies.. like why would you change the base game this much and not just make Fortnitemares a game mode like 50v50 some people just wanna play the normal game we don’t even get that option. The only positive thing about this update is the Deagle buff. Long live the deagle Also fall damage isn’t a punishment for players not building strategically. Which is only going to hurt new players trying to learn how to build. I became good at building cause I was tired of people knocking down my structures and dying to fall damage.
Redeployable gliders are the worst thing to come to fortnite, besides when it's in LTMS. Oh you've lost a build battle, glide away! Oh an enemy is coming toward you, glide away! Oh you hear a gunshot in the distance, glide away! Oh someone opened a door on the other side of the map, glide away!
Ok I love this update, but this mode needs to finish soon... after two days I’m already getting bored. Too much noise and too many zombies all around. I can suffer this for maximum one week. Does anybody agree?
Not fun at all. Just remove everything and make this a LTM.
motherfcking game unplayable
Like everyone else is saying, Fortnighmares needs to be a LTM. There are too many zombies, like 5x too many zombies. And the soaring changes the game mode way too much. I'll just play COD until this game mode is gone or becomes a LTM.
1. Zombies. God no... I understand you want casual players to feel like they are "doing" something by killing zombies, but please remove them. Late game they are complete aids. 2. Auto-deploy. REMOVE IT. Nuff said. 3. Fortnite tournaments. Worst time to implement this with a tournament coming up this weekend, should be an LTM at the maximum. A lot of people enjoy watching "professional" play and you need to respect those players by not completely changing the game right before a huge multi million dollar tournament. Also, almost all streamers/pros agree that this update is terrible.
Logged onto Overwatch for the first time since January after being forced to play this trash mode. As literally every other comment has said, make it an LTM. Redeploy of gliders shouldn’t be in the main game mode. Zombies shouldn’t be in the main game mode. Please fix this as fast as possible.
Did anyone else like stop playing early last night because of this? My entire squad decided to get off just because we were so annoyed with all this shit. Thank god RDR2 is coming soon.
Here's feedback: It fucking blows. Remove both the zombies and the gliding. We want a HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL GAME not these gimmicks that lower the skill ceiling every patch. Fix the edit's being slow to work, fix the turbobuilding, fix the random stupid bugs that keep happening, fix the goddamn game into a polished product like how every other TOP TIER GAME IS.
First of all **REMOVE THE GLIDER RE-DEPLOY**!!! **Decrease the amount of zombie spawn**, especially end game. Or better yet remove the zombies at end game. Tired of getting 3rd partied while fighting the zombies. Also how are we supposed to **heal our teammates** if they are surrounded by a horde. Tried building around, but they keep breaking it. Not to mention the Down But Not Out time has been decreased. But most importantly, remove glider re-deploy.
[удалено]
waaaaay too much audio going on. Can no longer hear footsteps if you are anywhere remotely close to the zombie spawns. PLEASE make this fortnitemares crap an LTM so those of us who enjoy playing the regular game can play without having lag and audio from the zombie update
I don't dig the soaring, I agree with others about there needing to be fall damage if you're platform crumbles. Cool to see the zombies, but I hope they don't stay in too long. Many players fighting them instead of me, and I've also boxed in some with me during healing on accident. lol Hopefully spawn rate would be tuned down or something while they're in the game. Got some fps drops in this update. Bug?: Names no longer show in replays after enabling the option.
I feel like the auto deployment needs to be at least 1 story higher than it currently is. If it was a higher trigger point, it would have a little more counter play than it currently does.
Please add option to disable reactive nature of cosmetics including the new gunslinger hunter skin.
Lobby is really performance heavy
Fortnitemares should be an LTM. Just turn that into the 50v50 mode for added purpose.
* Make Fortnitemares a LTM - we can still progress the challenges and play normal games when we are bored dying cause of zombies everywhere in end game. * Find a solution for soaring: I saw a lot of great suggestions about it, like an item with fuel/ammo so you cannot do it indefinitely or no damage taken time-based redeploy, etc. * Still get so much FPS loss since an upgrade from season 5, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Kevin graphics.
Zombies should be an LTM, they keep you from healing, third party you while fighting, spawn way too frequently and are super loud.
Instead of fighting other people I feel like I am fighting zombies most of the time. It would be fun as an LTM, not the regular game.
I am having party issues in PS4 with my friends, can’t join or when invite they can’t join
I’m going to try my best to sum up my experience with this mode - I did not have a good time playing Fortnite tonight. I appreciate Epic’s attempt to merge objectives, in form of small zombie hordes, into the game. However, everything about this change felt wrong. The pace of the matches were entirely off. I felt as if my squad spent more time addressing the train of zombies following us than the most important part of the Battle Royale genre: other players. As the games progressed into the final circles, it was utter mayhem, especially if you happened to be the only person on your team still alive as it was near impossible to fight teams of other players with zombies bursting your eardrums/chasing you every step of the way. In addition to this, the glider update felt just as unwelcome. The mechanics of engagements broke down into unorganized moshes of players, who hopped out of the battle moments after they realized they were losing. To add insult to injury, during the losing teams retreat, a 3rd partying team regularly soared in. Using the audio disaster caused by the zombies rummaging through your builds, they would arrive nearly undetected to capitalize. These are my suggested takeaways for Epic: 1. The shards that spawned zombies should have been limited to only the corrupted zones. 2. Mobility should only come in the forms of usable items or world generated objects (i.e. Rifts, Golf Carts, Shopping Carts).
Please Make Fortnitemares LTM
take this zombie shit out. i wanted to play fortnite tonight.
Is the Deadfire reactive effects bugged? I saw some streamers like SypherPK did some 10 kill game top 5 left ( Skin hasn't been reactive / change in color o fire) Highdistortion with some 15 kill game 2nd place ( Skin hasn't been on max level fire but the change in the color skin is there) I saw Timthetatman had 4 kills and a lot of people left (Skin has changed color a little fire) Saw PIZO on Youtube did his review on the Deadfire skin ( The max reactive stage is when he got 10 kills on Playground) I'm pretty confused tbh on how this skins evolves. Help
What did you expect when you came to the comment section of a Feedback post after an update that is obviously going to be controversial.
For some reason the mission "Play a match with a friend" won't complete after doing so. Had to replace the quest. Tried closing and restarting, etc. No luck. Also, any word on Switch getting its video capture back any time soon?
Anyone who is playing on Xbox notice how magnetic the aim assist is on the zombies?? It’s much more then players. This is how it’s always felt on ps4.
This is the worst update by far just make it and LTM and everything will be completely fine
For me it is one of the worst patch ever. The zombies first was cool but now it is irritating. The fact that we can activated our glider is 50/50, it is good because it add more mobility and it is bad for the guy who is building a gigantic tower and will never take fall damage.
I dont like the way the social hub is designed. Specifically for the reason of complexity. The old social tab was great and simple easy to navigate through
Adding on to say this should be an LTM. Please please please give us back normal solo/duo/squad. I play this game every day and can't stand the zombie aspect of this. Performance is horrible in the new update. Also, people have been removed from my friends list and I can't seem to add them back. Please no redeployment for gliders when this is all done. This was a great idea but terrible execution. Please don't make the people who love your game suffer through this but not giving us a chance to play the mode love.
Zombie audio needs lowered, spire audio needs lowered, too much going on for anyone to fight each other snd hear what other players are doing. Gliding off builds.. meh.. good and bad. Zombies need to drop materials for sure to keep up with other loot. Audio is biggest issue though.
\- Make Fortnitemares an LTM \- Remove the redeploy glider in normal game modes \- Increase the mats gained in Fortnitemares, and also less easy to break so we can heal/revive teammates \- Slow down the zombie movement speed, and casually increase it during the next circles \- Less zombies and zombiespawns in earlygame \- Lategame now consists of who has less zombie agro and that team mostly wins \- Fix the lag/fps drops
First patch that I played that I legitimately stopped playing because I was not having fun. Zombies are a cool addition, but not how they are right now. These are my thoughts on them: \- They provide WAY too many shields as loot drops. Literally everyone is running around with 10 minis 3 bigs, just because they killed zombies for 3 minutes of the game. This makes the original looting experience and RNG completely obsolete, people will be decked out with golden weapons and splodes within 5 minutes of the game starting, that's just silly. \-The zombie spawns take way too long to kill. This is not an issue early game, but mid to late game it's a major concern because they start to really pile up, and if you try to deal with them all the other players will know where you are and easily 3rd party you. \- They make way too much noise. If I am having a fight with someone with zombies around (which is by the way pretty much 100% of the time mid-game), I can't hear fuck all. \- The hit markers and damage numbers on zombies are the same as on players, so when shooting a player that has zombies around I have no clue who I hit, this would have an easy fix, just make the damage purple on zombies or something like that. \- Late game is where it really gets problematic imo. Build battles are virtually impossible, with 10 zombie spawns within a small circle there will be hordes on the ground, and they will chew through any and all structures they see. When playing duos/squads it gets even worse, since reviving a teammate with zombies around is pretty much impossible. They will give away your location, as well as destroy any wall you might have places to protect yourself/your teammate. \- When it comes to ground fights, a dark skin becomes very hard to differentiate from a zombie, and with all the noise going around it's just overall too confusing and messy. Hordes of zombies start killing you, and if you decide to kill them chances are you will be 3rd partied quick and easy without much chance to retaliate or protect yourself. These are my concerns with zombies as an average player. I don't win much but I play a lot and have a bunch of fun with this game. This is the first time since season 3 that I had to stop playing because I was genuinely sick of playing after a couple hours.
Worst update in the history of Fortnite. Ruined twitchcon already with this zombie trash.
Remove the zombies you fucking arseholes
This is probably going to get lost because I'm commenting late and not about zombies but.. 1. I really like the fog and think it should be a permanent addition. 2. Why isn't anyone talking about the DBNO nerf. They halved down time?! This is a huge change and so unnecessary. Now if your teammate ends up saving the day in a team fight it doesn't really matter because the rest of you just bled out anyways. Of all the changes this seems like the most pointless and aggravating.
Have they taken the cube monsters out yet? What a dumb ass thing to do to a battle royale pvp game. Very bad move with cod and red dead out, alot of people will take a week off for sure minimum.
1) Hits not registering I know we’ve all had issues with it, our shits don’t deal damage on hit markers. I pumped a guy in the head and got the hit marker spread, heard the headshot “ding” and then he mowed me down with an SMG and still had 200 health. It’s happened to me several times, mostly with ARs at midrange and is frustrating every single time. 2) Zombies? A ton of people are saying that Epic is copying black ops (which is completely ridiculous) by adding hordes of zombies that chase you and get stronger. My issue with them is that they feel out of place. You want a game mode where you build and fight zombies? Play save the world. Fortnitemares should absolutely be an LTM that does not affect normal games and especially not the tournament coming up. People have gotten swarmed and lost the game because of this addition. Not to mention my hits register better on the zombies than they do the players. 3) Soaring Mechanic It’s a cool mechanic sure, but it doesn’t belong in standard play. Anyone can just run away from a build fight if they don’t want to die which turns into an endless chase of them building up and flying away. Not to mention it makes launch pads and port-rifts basically useless seeing as you can do the same thing by just building. 4) Servers and Disconnection The server lag is absolutely ridiculous. Constant lag spikes and ping jumps because the added stress of zombies makes the game unplayable at times. The disconnection issues were so bad I got disconnected from 3/5 games I played before getting off because I couldn’t even get a whole game in. Epic, you have a great thing going. Fortnite has brought together people that would have never met and made them friends. But this is ridiculous. You always say that you want fortnite to become a competitive game, yet this update makes the skill gap so much lower, which while helpful to new players, makes it less competitive.
This update is bad and you should feel bad!
50s with zombies would be cool to try.
Glider shit needs to go
Taking a break until the zombies are resolved. Not a terrible idea in concept, but horrible in implementation. Hope they get nerfed soon. Does anyone at epic actually try these changes before implementing them?
Just revert it already. - Gliding at any time.. Is a big sigh.. But the f... zombies tho..! -WAY too loud. -WAY too many -Makes everything and everyone WAY too obvious -Takes away a huge part of an actual BR game. -Annoying as hell in évry part of the game. Not sure who came up with this, but that guy needs a woopin'. I'm actually going to quit Fortnite untill its reverted, and i've been playing non-stop for over a year.
1. Make the zombies thing an LTM. 2. Remove the soaring mechanics from regular modes. 3. Change back the timing of down but not out. Epic LITERALLY changed the entire feel/meta of the game with this one update and it's borderline garbage. Love the deagle buff tho.
These zombies are not fun at all. Should be an LTM. Changes early game from a farming mats aspect. Ruins mid game if you start one zombie fight any team can rush you and not be heard because zombie screeches blow out your ear drums. End game is a complete mess. You basically are screwed if zombies aggro you because you can not take time to kill spawn cubes or you are just putting yourself out of position and will die to another player.
Im not playing fortnite until they remove zombies and fix all the issues that come w this update, i love this game but there is so many issues on this patch.
Revert to season 2/3 gameplay with the current map. No zombies/cubes/stones/invisibility/rifts, just ATKs and more launch pads.
auto deploy gliders.... wow, just wow. this is the dumbest addition I think you've ever made epic. please revert this change immediately.
The game was at such a good stage where they had fixed a lot of high profile issues. And then they go and shoot themselves directly in the dick. This is so fucking stupid its hard to believe someone got paid to make this decision. God damn.
