No wonder it doesn't work, it reads "Outlive 60 opponents in a single match. 0/240"

So I needed one more elimination for the "Eliminate opponents at Pleasant Park or Happy Hamlet" challenge. I landed at Hamlet, grab a shield pot and a shotgun, and run into a guy upstairs. He lobs a sticky grenade on me, so I charge at him up the stairs to try to get a shot. The grenade goes off and I take damage, but the guy gets killed in the blast... completing the challenge for me. Heh.
I seem to have the best luck with maps, I found two in one game and got the challenge done in three minutes.
Yeah, I like to save my mission alerts for v-buck rewards or transform schematics and the mega alerts for mythic or legendary survivors so i'll usually just leave if I notice it's one of those modes.
I hope they add filters for the play with the others option or just change it so they don't expend cooldowns and don't give you cooldown rewards.

Meh, they should have just reduced values to something like 25 or 30. Team rumble is gonna be shit again.
Yup, I'm out for a while. That was the best goddamn change they had made in months, in particular the greater harvesting rate + mats on kill + mat caps. I felt like it really pushed people to build and fight and not turtle up. And it's not like everyone isn't still going to instathirst anyway. All they had to do was add in a team respawn function and it would have been perfect. Now it's going to be back to farming longer and people turtling. I'm honestly really bummed out, them adding all of that to the core game modes really got me back into the game.
Not only was there little complaining, most people actually praised the new pacing and gameplay it enabled. It's really a dumbfounding move by Epic to revert this without iterating on it if they find it too strong currently.
Yep! It's a nice little collectible!Anyone else get their storm king pin? I hot glued mine to the front of my PC case
Also, damn, new steampunk weapons and trap in StW look amazing.
I agree. They should keep normal gathering the same speed as the "sped-up" gathering in the big team modes.
Anyone else noticing significant network performance improvements... for weeks and months right up until last night my ping was floating around 100, but now after the patch this morning my ping is consistently floating around 40, which I have previously never seen numbers like that before!! :D
I just don't understand Epic's decision process for any changes made in this game.
Removing the health/mats for a kill and mat cap takes away one of the few positive additions they've made to the game over the past few months.
It constantly seems like they are listening to one specific crowd rather than the entirety of the player base.

Yeah, they are listening to the "building sucks, engaging in fights in a shooter sucks, why can't I just camp my way to victory?" crowd. ;<
Like, I don't even see how these material limits & health/shield & mat refresh prevent multiple styles of play. Yes, it makes more aggressive play more viable & pushes some people to engage in fights more on average, but you can still cowardly hide on top of trees or in bushes for the whole game if that's your jam.
Soccer skins are the fucking worst, lol.
I'm the opposite, since last week's patch been getting packet losses and ping spikes.
Even worse after today's patch.
DAMN THOSE NEW SKINS ARE AMAZING
Yeah, this I agree with.
I never liked the health/shields from kills, but having less back from them wouldve been a happy medium for me.

Same here. If it was up to me, I'd cut the regen to 25 and leave the material caps. Now it's back to Bob the Builder fights in the end game.
The pirate themed map in StW looks really good. I got a Sea of Thieves vibe from it, and as usual the voice banter from the new event is top notch.
Man fuck this game. Can't wait for Halo on pc. I laugh at a game with rng elements being competitive.
Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. I was playing again this evening thinking maybe this morning was a fluke or something, but no, my ping is now a consistent upper 30's to low 40's, which are just insane numbers from my previous experience.
Man, the lag in this game is getting ridiculous. Several times me or team members have had, like, 2 second lag between trying to build something and shit appearing. Or nothing builds at all.
And fuck this reverse of the kill heals & mats and mats gathering. So shitty having to waste a longer time gathering materials and get less. And people have gone back to camping more since engaging in fights is not a good strategy unless you are Tfue level player.

It's good for people who have RNGesus and/or Lag-o-freeness on their side. The rest can't hit shit with it.
I don't think they should've reduced the farm rate, but I can understand why they've removed health on kills. For a good player it became way to easy to kill duo's and entire squads as you got matts and health along the way, which means that in solo's it became way to easy for good players to move from player to player with almost no risk.
I've seen it with the people around me that went from just above average players that won 1 out of 50 games and were motivated to play, to become players that feel like they have no chance at all since the change happened because the good players will always have material and health. As a result they have been playing less and less or only the LTM's for challenges and this is the data Epic is looking at.
So how does this change possibly help? First it reintroduces some risk for those players (you may get no health back from a fight) and the reduction of farm rate makes the mode a lot less fun for them as it forces a slower pace. Now those players can go to Arena if they want that play style. It will hopefully lead to less good people in normal solo's and increased win chances for everybody else. There'll still be people that like pub stomping, but my guess is there will be less.
Personally I hope they increase farm rate, but most of all I hope the people that stopped playing solos will try it out and feel like they have a chance at winning again.

Funnily enough after posting that, when i came back to it after having it turned off its been much better with only one instance of getting packet loss.
Maybe my PS4 just needed restarting after the update or something but hopefully it stays running well.
They could adjust it for solo. Like, only getting 25-30 health and 30 of each material back per kill. But 50 really isn't much in duo or squads, since it's not always guaranteed the ones taking damage in a team are the ones getting the kills, so it's still easily possible that one or two team members will be left with fairly low health. Or they could make it so that kill-heals only get you up to 150 total health + shield.
For fuck's sake Epic. Is it so hard to make mission activation switches work in Save The World? I can't progress in the pirate event beyond the second quest because this shit is so broken it doesn't work at all. We go to the pirate ship and nothing happens. This has happened 5/5 times now. I had a similar problem in one of the Valentine's day quests where you had to build that huge catapult. Had to do it three times because it didn't create the outline of the structure to build on the first couple of times.
Man, Team Rumble is so much less enjoyable without the health regen on kill. I get why they took it out of BR, but Team Rumble is exactly all about being aggressive, the heals on kills turned Team Rumble from a mediocre gamemode to a great one. I honestly don't really feel like playing the game anymore because of the change.
Perhaps making the heal on kill a heal over time like the slurp would've been a better way to address the aggressiveness Epic seems to have a problem with. Whatever the case may be, heal on kills needs to return to at least Team Rumble, there's just no way defending it not being there in that mode.

My wife is causal as fuck and hates fighting most of the time, but she's only been playing the arena mode the last few days due to the changes. We both want the healing back in Team Rumble.
I played last night for the first time since the update and I forgot all about it and wondered why my aggressive play style wasn't as rewarding, now I remember the shield change lol
I know right, it takes ages....it never maxes my connection(220Mbps) unlike steam and pauses for what seems like hours
Fuck me..what have they done to shotguns?
I'm now getting one shot killed every fucking time, they are so powerful
I'm now getting one shot killed every fucking time, they are so powerful
Lmao, they've been buffed to where any pump aside from green can kill you with or without full shields
I'm just annoyed because everyone else is always one-shotting me or getting these 150+ hits from 50 meters away with a shotgun while I shoot someone straight in the middle of their body or upper body/head from 2 meters away and do 37 damage with a legendary pump. It'd be nice to have the same shotguns as everyone else does (as in, lag sucks ass). -_-
Wait, really?
That's fucking insane
You too huh? Glad it's not just me that's happening too.
People whined because shotguns weren't one hit kills. So they buffed them and ruined build diversity. Now if you don't run a shotgun you're kinda stupid. Esp if you go up against more than one person
