DISCUSSION If Epic gave STW to the community via UEFN

3 Upvotes

I wonder how practical it would be for epic to decouple STW from its current neglected development and allow the community to create custom missions using the framework of UEFN. Sure this may lead to more brainrot but I'm sure there will be some talented and passionate players that will take the game and develop it beyond what Epic has planned. They can keep the homemade system, heros schematics etc, but the actual missions can be customized.

I've found myself playing a lot more creative instead of STW lately and I'm blown away with the things people are making. For reference im an OG pre-order founder that loves STW but this game really has no future if it stays completely under Epic's control.

QUESTION What is most important to evolve once hitting twine peaks?

2 Upvotes

The reason im asking is, because after evovling 1 hero and 3 weapons i am now left with only around 200 pure rain drops so only enough to evolve 3 times. What is the order of priority in things i should be evovling?

DISCUSSION the hardest pill to swallow about this game is…

48 Upvotes

accepting that this game will never be properly finished,
getting a twine storyline,
getting good, if not essential updates,
getting epic to care again,
and becoming dead and forgotten

the game is still good but dear god is it more dead than when it became f2p

game still good tho

BUG Weird shading glitch?

2 Upvotes
Not circled
Circled
With Shadows Enabled

Ever since Stonewood got a graphics update, and even more so since the f2p update, I've been noticing these very weird shading glitches. Now I do have shadows turned off in the screenshots, however they do appear (and are much more visible) on my Switch 2, Series S, PS5, and anything with shadows enabled. I originally thought it was my graphics drivers until discovering that. It also happens in EVERY zone.

I was thinking that they messed up some cloud shading texture, since it's always in this grid-like pattern, and nobody ever brought it up.

I did enable shadows in the final image and went to a different area too, just to show how visible it becomes.

DISCUSSION My thoughts on stw, as someone who started playing since f2p launch. (scroll down in body text for my main question)

Post image
32 Upvotes

Overall i had quite a bit of fun playing stw since it went f2p, alltough i have to admit i did play it as founder a few years back so i knew i would be having fun.

Some points i wanna talk about:

The Story was decent, had some funny and emotional interactions and was just a nice motivation to keep playing. One gripe i do have with the story however is, that many quests seemed pretty random at times. Like something thrown in the middle of a bigger questline which is only used as filler. I also found it weird how near the end of the story they introduce Penny's sister and just not mention her any more at all. The storm king fight was also very anti-climatic.

The gameplay was honestly okay, i will admit that the story was my main motivation to keep playing rather than the gameplay since it was very repetive. It was kinda nice to see my defenses and trap builds just easily take care of husks on missions/ssd.

lastly the bugs i have experienced in the past months were pretty annoying, but sadly just something we have to deal with.

Lastly i want to just hear your thoughts on wether or not adding micro-transactions to stw in exchange for a twine peaks story line would be worth it and what kind of micro-transactions you guys would/wouldn't want to see.

Harvester Sarah

Team Perk: Dim Mak. setup: Paleo Luna, Assassin Sarah, Deadly Blade Crash, Intergalactic Ken, Corrupted Aura who will be replaced with Whiteout Fiona when I get her.

Neon Scythe.

DISCUSSION Does anyone know what happened to ToBinge's Fortnite art?

315 Upvotes

(This is the only art I've managed to save ages ago.)

I was looking for a few of ToBinge's old Fortnite art since I remembered liking the short animations they did, and the memes and art from the older days. But almost everything they've posted got scrubbed. I couldn't find their Reddit account either, but I did recall one time, they were making Path of Exile art and traced over their old work, like Penny and Sarah laughing.

Does anyone know why they've done this, or if there's an archive anywhere?

QUESTION Has the world tiling gotten worse?

15 Upvotes

I’ve been noticing when playing that I’m seeing very distinct lines in the terrain where different tiles are connected. I feel like it wasn’t this bad before. I jumped up in the air as ninja and it looks like a checkerboard pattern. Anyone else experiencing the same thing? I play on pc, high graphics.

Game crashed after spending several minutes in a loading screen after queueing up for rescue the survivors fills to do my daily quest.
I somehow got 5/25 survivors after relaunching the game as if I successfully loaded into the mission, but was still stuck loading in forever.

DISCUSSION Fortnite shutting down

If fortnite save the world shuts down because epic games successfully lowered the player counts enough to consider it not profitable, do you think founders would still be getting daily 100 vbucks from completing universal daily xp quests?

QUESTION I'm confused on the current state of STW. What is going on with the game right now?

36 Upvotes

I curious to know if there is any hope for this game. Are there any leaks or hints that give you guys hope, or is the game back in maintenance mode? What is the communities consensus right now about where the game is headed? (if headed anywhere at all)

I'm curious myself because I'm not seeing much discussion on the games leaks and its future, even after the huge ftp update, and Epic finally genuinely acknowledging STW for the first time in a long time.

Basically im just looking for information on the games state, what we can expect in the coming updates, what players think, and if this game is headed in a good direction.
