My son used to play.
Then he realized there are only so many times you can skydive out of a bus to shoot a bunch of ball-joke spewing teenagers and neckbeards. Never spent a time on Vbucks for that crap game. |

/media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/deOINby-52.gif You’d be surprised. Many of my friends on Fortnite are between 40-60yrs old. STW is more for adults. It’s too mission focused for kids, generally speaking. There are a few exceptions of some kids I help though. The wife & I play together. Our groups are almost always full with other adults. Started on BR, then focused on STW, hit PL131 & in S10 I bounced back & forth when they announced BR skins were going to be available in STW. |

Fortnite looks too silly and dumb, and it never appealed to me. I've never played it, and I don't feel any interest in trying.
Apex Legends is pretty darned fun, and it's free too. I'm not very good at it, but occasionally I can feel like a badass. |

We had just gotten into STW when Fortnitmares was out, didn't finish everything, but got most of the main weapons, Just not the Jacko & digger. Season notes are saying the Digger will be back again. Frostnight was fun. Completed everything but the 130 wave challenge. It was awesome they brought out a re-skin of Striker with the Queen, (best outlander at the time), remember going into missions where everyone was either him or her, then they went & changed everything. Now I don't even use Striker or her anymore.  But Arch. Jess is awesome fun now. Best overall OL IMO. I have three builds with her depending on mission & level. Her with the Rockin out buffs & the right support make her insane fun.Quote HistoryQuoted:

Started on BR, then focused on STW, hit PL131 & in S10 I bounced back & forth when they announced BR skins were going to be available in STW. Save the World is an entirely different aspect of the game. It is a combination of many game aspects. You carry your own weapons, create your own soldier builds with perks you choose. You have specific weapons, traps & game strategies that are mission & modifier specific. Most of my friends on the game are professional adults: Examples; one is an Oncologist in FL, Another is an Astronomer in MI, Husband & wife couple own & manage a Restaurant in IN, etc... I do have kids that I help through story progression & Storm Shield Defenses, but for the most part kids do not have the attention span or attention to detail to be really good at Save the World. As you advance in STW you work to increase your Power Level (PL) & 131 is max, So I am at the upper echelon of STW. You have to be a certain PL to enter higher level missions. Higher level missions are harder & give higher rewards. Quoted:

I was reading about Fortnite yesterday and I'm so out of the loop.
Kept seeing references to "a new map" and how the "old map" was removed. Map? Don't you mean Map(s)? After reading further I find that Fortnite seriously has ONE map. It's big but everyone plays on the same exact map for months at a time. That whole concept just seems completely foreign to me coming from a background of online FPS shooters with dozens of maps of all types, terrains, architecture, weather, etc.. Playing on one big map for months at a time just seems so repetitive. What happens if you hate the new map? There was always maps I both loved and completely hated/avoided on old FPS online shooters. I understand the idea of Battle Royale but it's still strange to me. I still can't get over the fact it's ONE map...and when the update happens, the old map goes away and everyone plays on the ONE new map. lol |

They have challenges throughout the season you work to complete for silly stuff like skins, emotes (dances) & ingame currency. Save the World is entirely different. There is a story line in each level up to Twine Peaks. You have missions you complete for rewards & use them to level up & then are able to improve weapons & traps. It's very immersive & time consuming. You pick your characters as well as use various abilities & perks in your hero loadouts. |

It was weird playing military games like the Call of Duty series seeing guys run around with pink and neon orange tiger striped guns. Reminded me of when they banned all black Entertech squirt guns in the 80's and then came out with "safe" color combos.  Just felt a little strange seeing guns like this in a semi-serious military game...and the obsession with cosmetics. Then the newer games like Fortnite have all of that extra dance moves...it was just all too much for me. 
I may give it a try sometime. It does look fun but feel like the learning curve might be too much at this point. |

It is a bit of a learning curve but overall strategy becomes much more important. Here is an older video that explains the basics... There is no longer a skill tree & PL is determined by survivor squads & research level.  Interested in Fortnite? | An Overview on Save the World Hero loadouts have changed as well.

Did you complete the endurance challenge in Twine? Soldiers i mainly use are sledgehammer and shrapnel as well. Forgot about cyberclops, been using him for the hit the road event. I dont need anything so farming isnt an issue, been playing ot almost 2 years and have all the heros and guns. Mega base rocks, always need a builder in a party when doing high levels. And hell yeah love the pulsar I honestly kind of quit playing last couple months because its been boring. I was max level before they redid everything and made it easy to level up. And Especially with the last high school musical event  . Hopefully they do soemthing exciting soon because all i see myself playing is BL3 for a while.
