Confused Kyle edition

>What is Fortnite?
It's a 4 player co-op basebuilder/tower defense with lot's of loot and various hero classes.

>Do I have to buy it?
At the moment yes, currently there are various founders packs for sale, starting at $40. It will go F2P next year.

>If I was in alpha do I have to buy?
If you spent money equal to the price of a founders pack during the alpha you will receive the corresponding founders pack for free plus. If you did not you will get a discount on one.

>Where do I buy it?

PSA: Don't upgrade your weapons to 3 star, you will suffer because Malachite is rare to find

>rare to find
Borderline nonexistent*
Makes me wonder what 5* shit will take, given each star corresponds to the rare resource of each respective area and as far as I know, there's only 4 planned areas.

and greenwood and crestview are also copyrighted and kingsmouth is trademarked.

I want Penny to SHIT in my MOUTH

>trying to do level 40 category 3
>keep getting grouped with 15-17s

thank god you can abandon before the match starts after seeing the group composition

$90 in coins or buy the most expensive founders pack?

Why buy a game that will eventually free?

coins

for a bunch of exclusive items and several month head start

Is it okay just buying the standard pack? Can I play without spending money after the pack purchase and still have fun etc?

Yes. And if you want, you can upgrade the pack at no extra charge.
Not that you'll particularly want to.

Building towers is dumpster fire tier.

You don't get all the heroes with the lower pack? Do you just unlock them somehow?

>implying you're any better/not trying to leech it too

I also tend to find 3-5 in toy shops.

Build towers is fucking shitty aids-infested trash. FUCK the asshole who came up with that game mode and didn't let players skip the tedious bullshit of template construction by hand after the first few runs. Fuck that shit to death. I will never willingly play that fucking aids.

WHERE DID SENTRY GUNS GO?

REEEEEEE

>Build the resource wasters
nah

So I should just be hording all my v-coins until a legendary hero llama shows up?

>And if you want, you can upgrade the pack at no extra charge.
what, how?

If you really want a legendary hero, yes

In-game, they just give you the option.
Yeah. You get 1 of each Class as a Green for free plus you can get all the others through Loot Llamas.

Huh okay, thanks everyone. I'm looking into heroes before I buy it. Can you buy inventory slots with ingame money? Is there anything that's 100% locked behind a paywall?

If you're on PS4 you get 4 exclusive rare heroes for free.

>fixed amount of xp
Wait what? Is it really not % based?

>always out of backpack space

they need to make it so you can stack more than 99 materials

No, you can't buy inventory with in-game money. The only inventory sources are in-game through progression and the founder's packs.
The only thing paywalled off are the exclusive character skins in the orange pack.

Special melee move for Penny where you jump and sit on a husk's head and drag them to the ground with your ass to then crush their head with your ass when

And if they're the bee husk Penny gets an asshole full of bees

Or let stormshield storage hold up to 999 of an item.

The allocation is a percentage of your total earned EXP per-match, but the max you can gain is fixed based on number of the things you consume. The exception is EXP boosts from other's boosters which you can add to with Teammate boosters.
>5% from each allied booster plus your 30% assuming you don't go over your current limit
Don't forget to turn all Coal into Blast Powder.

I know the feeling. My backpack is currently at 95 slots (about to be 105) and I never have any fucking free space.

And I clean that shit out every match religiously too.

>tfw find Penny's model hot as hell, can't believe they put something this lewd in the game
>playing nothing but Penny
>don't really know about the other heroes but surely none are as lewd and thicc and amazing as Penny
>just unlocked thicc asian Penny

MY FUCKING DICK

i only have the green tank penny, is it worth investing into her if i want to just look at her ass all day?

Penny is god tier thicc, but Asian Penny is like a specter summoned from another world who's entire existence revolves around causing erections and lewd thoughts

Twine Peaks was mentioned last thread. What if..
The planned content there is so brutal you need 5* legendary/Mythic everything including traps to compete.

did i fuck up if i just finished the first area and im still level 14?

Neither. You would just be trying to speed up your grind to nowhere.

Post asian penny screenshot please

So far, is it worth 60 bucks?

Same reason some folks buy a game at release when it'll eventually be on sale for over half off.

No, not really. If you level your gear and characters well, (and play well obviously) you can reasonably get into Plankerton as early as 12.

The gun play and the movement are really, really good - and the building stuff is pretty good too, but it's got a lot of faults.

>The gun play and the movement are really, really good

Seriously curious about this and would like you to elaborate more because it doesn't look like the gunplay is anything more than rigid hitscan third person shooting that you can get in a ton of other games. The movement also looks very generic, just moving around and you get a jump.

Why do you call them very, very good?

is massive stuttering normal in this game? I should be able to run this game on max settings but even medium causes the game to freeze for a second.

gib money pls soon fellas

Post your full specs

Are heroes stats/skills rng like weapons and survivors?

Which one?

No contest, Melee.
No. Only Weapons and Traps have randomized bonuses. The actual stats and bonuses with levels are fixed for all Heroes.

who else /slotted every defender they can/?
free collection book exp imo

are defenders really that useless?

I bet you're glad There are no Mythic Defenders.

Thanks?

I am so sorry.

i was honestly telling my friend last night that if there were mythic defenders i would change up everything and start pumping it up if i got one and start using it cause if i had a mythic anything i'd use it
this was after i saw everyone complaining about not getting the mythic they want in last night's thread
fucking shit i can't even get any kind of epic hero stop complaining you little shits

rip

this is almost as bad as the wall light trap with 3 damage perks on it

>TFW got exactly 1 Epic Hero from that 15 Llama handout
>2 Legendary Survivors and some guns and shit
>It was a fucking Outlander Epic
I still don't use her.

I only stutter on people joining the game.

Please tell me that traps can crit

Yes. I think.

Literally just look at the Stats page.
Yes.
I am so very sorry, user.

Do we get daily founders lammas forever?

What should I be researching for? Tech v. Offense?

>it's a person sits next to a salvage drone without deploying it episode
>it's a he spends the entire rest of the rescue the survivors map breaking down 2 houses 2 parter

both

You mean the daily upgrade llama and weekly founder llama? Lol no, those run out.

if you are maining ninjas go tech
soldiers go offence.
but you will need both in the long run

How are you guys able to play this beyond that second map section?

I had to grind so hard for shit loot I totally abandoned the game.

first time i heard penny wanting the D when she said "is there a Mrs. Smasher?"

cracked me up

>second map section
You mean Plankerton?
The answer is you really can't since 90% of it isn't even implemented in Canny Valley. The only thing that is implemented is the desert tile for the Storm Shield. The quests aren't in, nor the map or any Mission tiles. Multiple people kept telling them they should wait back in Alpha, but they decided it was time to push to Beta.

Honestly I don't plan on playing Canny Valley or Twine Peaks until they're finished, so I'm taking it slow in Plankerton.

>always a bunch of reddit threads explaining how the skill tree works
Are people actually retarded or

why buy any game when it will eventually be bargain bin?

To be fair, it can be a bit confusing since there's so much to take in. There's a lot of shit on there and a lot to read. Few people will bother looking at the smaller nodes once they understand "this is each of the four BASE stats" and pay more attention to the big shiny ones, so missing stuff like "gotta have X Quest done" or "must have 30 nodes purchased in tree" are easy to miss.

Do Legendary Heroes turn into Mythic, or are they a whole different drop?

i literally did this and ruined my shreader

latter

It's a rarity above Legendary entirely. That's why there's so few.

Are the extra lamas in the Deluxe pack worth it?

Is the Deluxe pack worth the extra $20 at all?

anyone wanna do some plankerton missions? i'm on the first ride the lightning quest
add Varlotto on PC

power level?

I spent $60 on llamas.
6 legendary survivors. 1 legendary lead survivor
Legendary Copper Razorblade
Legendary Copper Haywire Storm
And 3 epic heroes. Base Kyle, Shock Specialist A.C. and Hotfixer Hazard.

It could be worse right?

Some of the mythics arnt very good. I think only the mega base one is good.

think thats pretty good

Why would you spend money on those boxes and not the really good ones?! Unless you did then I don't know how you spent 60.

Is there a subclass guide or anything out there yet? Like Hotfixer and Dim Mak and all that jazz. Or even if there was a work in progress one like the loot table.

>play on a team with a guy that bought the 150$ pack
>he's the highest level
>placed 3rd in points

Oh I'm laffin

No and no.

Correct.

>End up in a match of Retrieve the Data in Stonewood at level 8, area is 9 and all 3 of my allies are $150 pack warriors, 2 Ninjas in their white garb and 1 Penny
>Just playing my Soldier
>Manage to top-score in both Utility and Combat

I also forgot to mention, their levels were 13, 15, and 17.
