It seems a few days after the Survival update the game is nearly dead again.
Can't find a game for lvl 64 missions or level 15 survival for example.

The Battle Royale mode is interesting with the construction aspects of the game but I think they released it too soon to try to compete with Destiny 2 and all the people that are quitting to go play other games just due to all the RNG and llama progression issues that are still in the game. If they ever force you to play BR to unlock something in Save The World I think that will be the last straw for many of the players that got this game for PVE Co-Op action like it was advertised to be and not a BR clone which will probably end up the more popular mode.

@0wen
I don't think the new mode is to compete with Destiny 2. It's more to get a piece of the popular cake that PUBG is.

Though i would prefer if they fixed the PVE game and would be trying that the playerbase there isn't falling constantly. Right now already barely anyone is playing in the higher level zones, besides some AFKers/botters that i see since nearly 2 weeks. Rolling Eyes

Most of the console players jumped to Destiny 2, that was what I was referring to as Epic are trying to do something to get the players back since the Survive The Storm event was kind of a big fail and they do not seem to want to actually fix the RNG style model and llamas that is bottlenecking a lot of players in Canny and beyond. Plus limiting quest choices in Twine just because they do not want players to finish the zone quickly just shows poor planning on their part as it seems they will not be able to flesh out the story in a timely fashion going by the recent patch history.

As many have said, this feels like H1Z1 where they kind of sold it as a survival game but then the KotK mode outshined and outperformed financially the PVE game so more resources were moved to the PVP side. I would not be surprised to see a Battle Royale Llama and some sort of shop set up soon for that mode because they already milked you once for PVE, might as well double dip and get you again for PVP now.

So when is this game going to be free to play? Cause right now it's fucking not. (And on PSN it is even listed as free yet you need to buy founders pack or w/e to play it)

Sometime in 2018.


The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

I had a bad bug earlier tonight with the legendary soldier transform recipe that said max and then gave me an epic soldier instead. I sent CS an email and used the in game bug feedback but I am sure I will get the canned response, this is early access so expect bugs and there is nothing they can do. I guess this is the games form of karma for the bug that allowed the purple Centurion Hawk to be evolved into legendary but it is still annoying since I only have a couple of legendary heroes as it is and could have really used a chance at a good legendary soldier plus those transform recipes are kind of rare. The epic I got was not even a good soldier either.

I wonder if them adding the website form to report AFK and other code of conduct abusing players now also helped some as it is much easier then in game plus if you want you can include videos.

Is “battle royale” any different from the main game or is that the actual full title?

I really hope they can spare their dev team to support two modes parallel.
Because sadly it seems they want to focus more on the PVP side. Sad

The Unreal team did the BR mode so I am sure at some point they will need to get back to work on that F2P Unreal Tournament that has gone no where in years.

Seems they already abandoned the PvE mode when i take a look at the patch notes.
Besides the classic "fixed crashes", which are part of like every fucking patch, nothing worthy there.

On October 2 when they add the Block Party event and turn off the Survive The Storm event I think that will be more of the PVE patch stuff.

With a week left on StS I still have not got Legendary Base Hype and that was really the only thing I wanted from the event so I hope I can get lucky as I rather not have to wait till they bring the event back to get that hero. I did manage to get the other 3 heroes in Legendary though, just not the one I wanted so far. I got a nice epic hydro launcher but again, no legendary version. Overall I did not get many legendary items from the storm llamas so that bitter sting of RNG strikes again.

Fortnite Battle Royale is F2P now, have not played it (or the base game their micro transaction shenanigans soured me) but some of my friends really seem to like it, might give it a go later but PUBG didn't really click for me so i don't really expect much from this either, at least the art style looks much more appealing to me though.

I wish this was a direct competitor to PUBG, because then Bluehole would be forced to work faster and better. But this is just an attempt to cash in on PUBG's huge success.
Fortnite doesn't have have what it takes to make a good BattleRoyale game. Its combat mechanics are somewhat clumsy, designed for a more comical game. But I guess it will be fine for casuals.

Just tried this, its like straight fucking copy of PUBG (not saying its original idea from Bluehole either), but still i can see why Bluehole is little salty. Anyway, will stick on PUBG, this is like retarded kid version of it.

The vice-president of Bluehole didn't express himself properly at first. The whole company is not so good on PR, but well, indie.. His base complaint is legit, Epic Games are taking money from Bluehole for the engine's license and now they are creating "competition" for PUBG. This is pretty much a conflict of interests.

>Cash in on PUBG success - free mod made in spare time by unreal tournament devs, made available to everyone for kicks
>Combat mechanics somewhat clumsy - unreal engine
>Comical graphics - casuals

Finally, conflict of interests. So essentially if someone makes a shooter in Unreal's engine, Epic is no longer allowed to create shooters cause it creates competition. Gotcha.
