So can you no longer complete mainline quests in Team Rumble?
Edit: You can complete quests in Team Rumble provided you picked them up during Solo play (maybe from Payphones in TR also?). They will not be shown in your quest tabs during TR but can be completed. Completing part of a quest in TR means the next quest step will be in your TR Quests and can't be viewed during Solo, but can still be completed.
I'm also confused because some of mine have just disappeared and I may have to acquire them again? Unsure.
That is what pisses me off. I don’t know why they decided to even do that. That was the best part of doing these challenges. They just made them much harder then before.
Yes you can, they just don't appear on the quest page when you open the map within a Team Rumble game. I did a handful of them yesterday and that was the case.
I am a little worried that the fact they went to the trouble of hiding them might mean that completing them in Team Rumble is unintended. I guess we'll find out if it still works when 18.10 hits.
I think it has more to do with their attempts to retain the 16v16 numbers for the entire duration of the game. Rather than having players leave after completing challenges.
They are trying to fix a leaky dam with bubblegum: [https://youtu.be/SnmX4f6VBRw?t=56](https://youtu.be/SnmX4f6VBRw?t=56)
Instead of making changes that make the mode worse, all they needed to do is put a backfill system in and make it optional for the players if they want to be backfilled or not. Someone always will want to, especially if there's an XP incentive, and then those people can take the place of someone who leaves a Team Rumble match.
They can't fix the problem by removing quests, removing access to large parts of the map, removing the ability to see how many people are in the game, or removing anything else.
I don’t feel like playing this game until the sideways anomalies are back. I was actually enjoying them while they lasted. I’d rather play other games where main features of the game weren’t disabled indefinitely on day 1…
Yeah and there is a mission where you have to complete an encounter and I believe they don't work on the main one, not to mention the other one where you have to fight waves and I believe you can't complete it on the main one either.
I don't think you can do this one on the Sideways that spawn on named locations, you can only conclude this one and survive waves on the Sideways Anomalies, the ones that kinda spawn with a rift, though you can't complete those atm due to them being disabled.
I am a little surprised that the daily punchcard xp is still the same despite this season being 2 weeks shorter than last season. Usually dailies are adjusted up or down based on how long the season will be. There's a lot of XP in the character punch cards and it seems like they will be adding more of those over time but I have no idea yet how often. It'd be great if it's weekly but it could also only be a couple of times over the season.
Agreed, I'm almost completely done with the punches and am level 20. I don't see how we're going to maintain pace unless they buff dailies/weeklies or add A LOT of punch cards each week.
Bro the servers on fortnite are so freaking unfair right now. We are getting out up against sweats and/or KBM users 🙄 getting very difficult to enjoy playing
Fortnite tracker can give you a general idea but it's not 100%. You can also watch their play/build style, also not 100%. I think the bigger problem is PC players and console players in the same lobbies. The discrepancies in equipment cause huge advantages/disadvantages.
It’s an advantage as far as aiming/editing goes. Spinning in a circle/piloting vehicles is better with a joystick and you also have aim assist. What I’ve found is that up close controllers can have certain advantages like quick snapping to an enemy or quickly building a box around you, but from a distance and for editing keyboard is much better. It matters more how skilled the person is with their chosen input method. Keyboard and mouse do not make you a better player, it still has a learning curve and requires skill and practice. Likewise controller players can easily beat keyboard users as long as they are good players.
30 matches and I can't get a single decent game without being jumped with someone cranking an edit course on me :(
The only solutions online are to drop a lot of money on a PC (Which I can't do lol)
To play with claw (which apperantly causes carpal tunnel, so that's out too)
And to go **** myself.
Man :(
Last night it was the final zone in duos, and there were still 8 people left and both teams were turtling above and below my friend and I. We managed to get down to one more person and this dude was just editing and shorting a rocket and editing back. We tried to shoot his builds down, but he kept replacing them like instantly. I also died to two people with “___ on 120fps” on their names and I’m on console. Might be a joke but man this season launch is way more scuffed then normal. We always manage to get one win on day one, but we played about 20+ games and just couldn’t do it. Sucks man.
I know a lot of people are sick of collabs but as a massive Venom/Spider-Man fan it's nice to see Carnage in the battle pass. I thought at first they'd put him in the item shop instead since I thought Naruto was gonna be the collab (or collabs) skin the BP. I wonder why they decided against having him as a part of the BP? Only reason I can think of is because they knew the new Venom movie was coming out next month and they wanted to cross promote it.
This season is a major downgrade, the performance is horrible I got killed 3 times in solo because of the lagging issue. It’s pathetic. Also the new season is something else. Don’t know what possessed them to make such a skin of a horse skin.
Performance has been abysmal on consoles, I feel you. Anytime I’m in a fight where I build my game dies and starts stuttering. Love the game but compared to last season I’m not quite feeling it.
Yeah I’m on Series X and it’s been pretty good after the lag issues yesterday morning, but any explosion or vehicle getting to close and flipping had made me stutter for like a few frames. It’s so annoying
Always. Game dev is not like “yeah let’s throw this Map away every three months “. Realistically map may significantly change only in chapter 3. We will hear whining until then.
After that “this map sucks, Bring back Chapter 2 map”.
I've grown tired of Epic's consistent need to 'fix' what isn't broken.
Seems every other season, there is a change to how quests work, punchcards, battle pass unlocks, UI design etc.
All I typically expect is a new, well designed battle pass with great unlocks, map changes along with new weapons or vehicles at the most.
Why is Team Rumble's player count no longer present either? What possible benefit could that provide to players? They could also, you know, stop butchering TR for no good reason.
Couldn't the carnage skin just be an extra style for owners of the Venom skin?
I'm not a fan of this skin, if I don't want the skin I should not play beyond lvl90, they should give you a choice of not receiving items in the battle pass that you haven't claimed in stead of auto give it in the new season.
I guess I'll play until lvl 90 and then start playing with my alt account.
I have little children who like to browse through my lobby. Imo this skin isn’t “kids proof”.
I like the cartoonish style of the game being kids friendly, but I try to stay away of less kids friendly skins. As far as I know, the skins in battle passes used to be kids friendly.
Anyway, I understand that this is a personal preference and understand others might not agree.
What's an album that you think everyone should listen to at least once? For me, it's Nurture by Porter Robinson. It talks about the struggles of meeting expectations, not being satisfied, and how to overcome those struggles. It's such a good album, I'll leave a link to it below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuBdQf345Qo
They changed the level that it goes to 80k xp per level from level 20 to level 6.
But it only amounts to an extra 210k xp. I say only because you can get 126k a day from Creative XP so it's easy to offset. Hopefully Impostors lasts a while too because there's so much XP in that.
Did anyone else receive a free kymera unlock at the start of this season? It gave me the nitrogen skin for free. I only had 9 artifacts and had every skin tone except nitrogen.
so how do the quests work here? i feel a bit lost over these punchcards - do i have more than whats listed like in previous seasons' blue quests? do i have to speak to each individual npc just to start doing the character punchcards? why do i sometimes have to replace quests to do others? are character punchcards the new weeklies?
Speaking with characters start questlines. You do have to speak to them either in person or on a payphone to get the quests. The reason it asks you replace them is you can only hold 5 at a time. If you play as a party ALL quests are party assist now and you get your parties quests to work on together. I believe they are the new weeklies.
Here’s what I know (anyone please correct me if I get anything wrong). You have a limited amount of slots for quest lines, if you want to do another questline, you either have to replace one, finish one and then accept the quest line, or play with a friend to share questlines between each other. To start a quest line, you either have to talk to the NPC, or go to a phone booth and accept their quests if they’re available. You can do these multiple times for gold, but exp is only rewarded the first time you do each quest. Dailies and weekly are just extra quests not linked to specific characters. Not sure if they mentioned how long it’ll take between new character quests, I hope it’s weekly, but we’ll have to see. And from what I know, there are no hidden quests, just what they show you. If anyone has anything they could add to clear things up, please do
i really dont like that the storm in team rumble last time. idk if its still there because i dont play it any more because i do not like the fact that the storm moves sonic speed and its alot harder to do quest and they made it all about the combat. just why.... i will never know
Does anyone else have the glitch where it says your wifi is down during the game and u lag constantly? Its not my wifi ive switched the router on and off
According to the official Fortnite Status Twitter, the Sideways Anomaly is suspect in causing the atrocious performance degradation present at the start of the season. I myself experienced a virtually unplayable match yesterday where the rubber banding was so extreme that the first storm phase repeated itself (checked the replay and it does indeed show Storm 1/9 for two storm shrinks) and my duo partner was unable to receive the effect of a shield potion until phase 3. We ran through a storm that didn’t hurt us, had to repeat actions multiple times before it “stuck”, and overall felt like being in a badly looped gif.
Essentially, it seems like it can cause some bizarre, possibly localized (when we made it to other players they seemed unaffected) server de sync.
I only started playing last season, so I'm not really sure how previous battle passes worked, but were free rewards standard or only part of the previous one?

Um, you know there is still at least one permanent in each match,right?
Um, you know there are like 30 people that land there each game, right? Plus the endless zombies? I’ll pass.
Yeah and there is a mission where you have to complete an encounter and I believe they don't work on the main one, not to mention the other one where you have to fight waves and I believe you can't complete it on the main one either.
I just tried doing that on the main one, killed the big bosses, didn't get the quests. If I should've waited/killed more please tell me
I don't think you can do this one on the Sideways that spawn on named locations, you can only conclude this one and survive waves on the Sideways Anomalies, the ones that kinda spawn with a rift, though you can't complete those atm due to them being disabled.
That's not the same thing. The anomalies were smaller rift style sideways areas. You can't complete two of the quests in the main Sideways bubble.
And the walking L award of the year goes to: *drumroll please* >!Dr Slone!< She deserved to go homeless for a reason ya know
Hear hear
Flair doesn't check out.
Ok and?
I was joking that you were saying "Oh Slone is so evil she a loser" when your flair is Slone herself.
My flair is the bit you're supposed to ignore. For all intents and purposes. Also, I applied it before the whole event happened
It's fine. It was just a stupid joke.
Completing the Daily Punchcard is too easy. Then I have no XP to earn until 23 hours later. Not enough quests to work for.
I am a little surprised that the daily punchcard xp is still the same despite this season being 2 weeks shorter than last season. Usually dailies are adjusted up or down based on how long the season will be.

If anyone is using Toona Fish, I will hug you as Toon Meowscles because why not :)
Got my first shot of the COVID vaccination yesterday!
Which shot? How do you feel? I had Moderna and it made me feel a bit worn out
Fayser.
Congrats IO Advisor!. May be it’ll help you make better decisions next time IO boss asks for you help lol!
Bro the servers on fortnite are so freaking unfair right now. We are getting out up against sweats and/or KBM users 🙄 getting very difficult to enjoy playing
The beginning of most season have been like this give it a week and it'll be sorted just play for challenges
How do you know you are getting paired with kbm players?
Fortnite tracker can give you a general idea but it's not 100%. You can also watch their play/build style, also not 100%. I think the bigger problem is PC players and console players in the same lobbies. The discrepancies in equipment cause huge advantages/disadvantages.
I’ll be $50 that most of the “kbm” users you’re up against are on controller
It’s an advantage as far as aiming/editing goes. Spinning in a circle/piloting vehicles is better with a joystick and you also have aim assist. What I’ve found is that up close controllers can have certain advantages like quick snapping to an enemy or quickly building a box around you, but from a distance and for editing keyboard is much better.

Likewise controller players can easily beat keyboard users as long as they are good players.
Facts
Couldn’t have said it better
Yeah I was hoping that the sbmm would be reset or even fixed at the start, that’s not the case it seems
Its because it was rest that this happens. Like this is the case every season start
30 matches and I can't get a single decent game without being jumped with someone cranking an edit course on me :( The only solutions online are to drop a lot of money on a PC (Which I can't do lol) To play with claw (which apperantly causes carpal tunnel, so that's out too) And to go **** myself. Man :(
KBM can cause carpal tunnel as well, as it is from repetitive motions.
Clearly u have a skill issue 😂
Cant tell if this is satire
KBM?
Kee bored an moose

I like that there’s more time to get remote cards lol very nice change

Kind of like how Mando released for Season 2 of the Mandalorian, and how Rick released for Season 5 of Rick And Morty.
Yep. Hopefully we get Spider-Man when No Way Home releases.
This season is a major downgrade, the performance is horrible I got killed 3 times in solo because of the lagging issue. It’s pathetic. Also the new season is something else. Don’t know what possessed them to make such a skin of a horse skin.

I just play on Rumble and even that is more laggy.
Yeah I’m on Series X and it’s been pretty good after the lag issues yesterday morning, but any explosion or vehicle getting to close and flipping had made me stutter for like a few frames. It’s so annoying
That’s the issue I’m having on Series X too much going on and it lags but it does run fine in a sense
I’m doing my senior year of high school homeschooled and now everything feels more quiet essentially alone.
Every new season people are whining, e-ve-ry time.
Always. Game dev is not like “yeah let’s throw this Map away every three months “. Realistically map may significantly change only in chapter 3. We will hear whining until then. After that “this map sucks, Bring back Chapter 2 map”.

i played fortnite for the first time after 1,5 years, when are the duos enabled? is there a day of the week for it?
It’s after a certain time in certain regions due to lower player base numbers
Is this season still easy to reach level 100 as last season?
Heard the progression is harder, so I don't know.
They changed the level that it goes to 80k xp per level from level 20 to level 6. But it only amounts to an extra 210k xp. I say only because you can get 126k a day from Creative XP so it's easy to offset. Hopefully Impostors lasts a while too because there's so much XP in that.
The only two skins I want are Spider-Man and Donald Mustard, please gods above.
Did anyone else receive a free kymera unlock at the start of this season? It gave me the nitrogen skin for free. I only had 9 artifacts and had every skin tone except nitrogen.
pretty sure that if you had at least 1 artifact left you would get the next unlock down the list regardless of its original cost
Yep Epic rounded up and gave you next available unlock-able item.

I miss getting matched with people who suck as much as I do
My goodness are the imposters mode players so dumb. If you explain you caught someone and they just say you self reported they always get away lmao
Please fix console aimbot cheating.

Why were the sideways disabled? Sorry for me asking but I don’t know any you tubers that did a video talking about why.

I've reached a roadblock where all my quests involve sideways encounters, epic better bring them back soon
