I was going to do that XD
Thanks for helping out the community!
The first annual Homebase Basketball Playoffs got a bit intense and the Plankerton Smashers knocked over some servers, but the fans of both teams pitched in to help with the repairs!
Matchmaking times are back to normal for the NAW region.
Hey guys, have a quick update about Storm Shield edit permissions:
In the 10.0 update, Storm Shield edit permissions were changed to be on by default. We've rolled out a temporary fix to change this back and always default edit permissions off every time any player visits your storm shield. With the release of 10.10 we will do a one time clear of all stored edit permissions to be sure no one was inadvertently added to your permissions list. After the permissions clear, you will have to re-add friends to your permissions list in order to give them edit permissions. Once these changes are in place, permissions will behave like they did before 10.0.
Stay awesome Community!
Read moreThe 10.20 update had a bug fix for a progression blocker in Storm Shield Defenses. Implementing this fix resulted in some amplifiers getting attacked from new directions and unintentional overlap in spawns started to occur. In order to fix this behavior the spawns have been adjusted to prevent overlapping spawn directions, these changes will start to take effect in 10.30.
Using the Twine Peaks Storm Shield as an example with this helpful map by u/EonsHD as a reference: the north and south spawns on amplifier F, the east spawn on amplifier I, and the north spawn on amplifier D are being removed.
Edit: Here's a map of the new spawns credit to u/swankierllama
10.30 will also have updates to PL 100+ Twine Rewards, I will be posting an in-depth explanation about those changes on Friday.
Read moreHey everyone,
We wanted to highlight some changes that are coming to the top end of Twine Peaks in the v10.30 update.
Twine Peaks Rewards
Twine Peaks 100+ 4 Player Missions will be getting a rewards buff! Pure Drop of Rain are receiving a 25% increase for PL 140 Non-4 Player Missions (Example: if you would have earned 64 Pure Drop of Rain before, now you will earn 80 Pure Drop of Rain)
Evolution material and PERK-UP rewards have been increased for all 4 Player Missions over PL 100, with PL 140 missions receiving an additional increase in rewards on top of the general improvement to evolution materials. Check out some specific examples below:
- A 4 Player Mission that would have rewarded 168 Pure Drop of Rain in a PL 108 zone prior to the 10.30 update will now reward 256 Pure Drop of Rain.
- A 4 Player Mission that would have rewarded 168 Pure Drop of Rain in a PL 140 zone prior to the 10.30 update will now reward 320 Pure Drop of Rain.
- A 4 Player Mission that would have rewarded 164...
Hey everyone,
I wanted to address some concerns that have been raised about mission rewards in 4 Player Missions, thank you to all who have raised visibility on this issue!
We have discovered a bug where some missions incorrectly have their rewards capped. Using this post by u/chedic as an example: this cap caused the rewards to flatten after a certain point, even though the UI (the end of mission reward chest and the bar underneath) indicated that more rewards should have been earned. This resulted in getting the same rewards in separate missions, even though a different chest level was earned. The bug in this case is that the reward cap should not have been in effect on the 4 Player Deliver the Bomb Mission. Increasing this cap to the correct value will allow a higher badge completion rate to properly grant greater rewards as explained in this post. This will be fixed in the 11.00 update.
Thanks for reading!
Read moreHey everyone,
I know performance has been pretty rough the past couple days, here are the updates I have:
- There is a crash associated with launching a mission that effects all game modes (but is especially hard hitting in StW), the root of this issue has been fixed and will be addressed in a patch next week.
- Some people have reported playing on Private or Friends Only as a possible workaround in the meantime.
- We missed adding it to the 10.40 patch notes, but there have been some fixes put in to rejoining missions, so some cases where this failed to work previously should successfully rejoin now.
We are continuing to actively investigate the recent increase of server stalls.- EDIT: We've released a hotfix that has resolved the increase of server hitching since 10.40
Thanks to everyone who was able to reach out and provide some extra information about these issues. If anyone has more information to add, I'll be checking back on this thread later.
I'm right there with all of y...
Read moreEarlier today we launched a Hotfix to resolve the server hitching that StW was experiencing since the 10.40 patch, if you experience any server freezing after reading this, please leave a comment below with any and all details!
Note: This HF will not reduce the amount of crashes that were introduced in 10.40. For more information on that, head over to this post.
With the Hit the Road event coming to a close, I've been compiling the various feedback about this event throughout the whole season and I have one final question:
What was your favorite song of the summer? (Who was your favorite Hover Truck driver)
Personally I can't decide between the song of silence and BEEEESSSSS!
Suite Dreams Commanders!
Downtime for the v11.01 patch begins at 4 AM ET (0800 UTC) on Tuesday, October 22nd.
Facing your fears is way more fun than fleeing them.
The v11.10 update arrives tomorrow! Downtime will begin at 4 AM ET (0800 UTC).
Hey Everyone.
We are postponing the release of v11.11. We'll keep you updated regarding when it's planned to release.
This event requires an update in Battle Breakers which is planned for this afternoon (Eastern Time) has been completed.
Now is a good time to reach level 20 in Battle Breakers or take a dive into Dungeons!
EDIT: Multiple issues with the promotion have been resolved yet some still remain. STW Founders who logged in between 4 AM - 1 PM ET are missing Ramirez in Battle Breakers we are working to get this resolved.
Hey everyone,
We've seen the reports around players not properly receiving caches after completing the Storm King fight. We've just released a hotfix to resolve this issue and players will properly receive the Cache rewards after successfully completing the fight.
Additionally, we've seen the conversation regarding players earning the Mythic Weapons illegitimately. We're currently in discussions around this and will provide and update once we have more information to share.
Thank you!
What’s up community,
We hope many of you have been enjoying Dungeons! We’re interested to know which Dungeon is your favorite and why. Personally, We love the architectural choices in Labyrinth (We’re looking at you: ceiling pool and space hallway), the geometry choices and large open rooms in Grotto, and the boss encounter in Inferno so we’re having a hard time choosing a favorite here at Homebase.
Is there a specific Dungeon curse that you prefer, or perhaps an extra tender voice line? Maybe you have a love/hate relationship with teleportation traps?
Leave your thoughts below!
Read moreHey, everyone!
There's snow in the forecast! v11.30 is on its way for tomorrow. Downtime begins at 4 AM ET (0900 UTC).
Stay tuned for updates when downtime ends.
Hey Fortnite Community,
We’re bringing the Locker into Save the World! Starting with the launch of the new season, you’ll be able to use your favorite Dances, Emoticons, Sprays, and Toys as you battle the Storm. We have a lot of information to share so let’s hop in:
What’s available at the launch of the new season?
Loading Screens, Music, and Emotes! Emotes include every category of emote: Dances, Emoticons, Sprays, and Toys.
Will there be other cosmetics in Save the World?
We are working hard to make every cosmetic type available for you to bring with you on your quest against the Storm. We’re focusing on wraps and pickaxes as the next addition to the Locker. When pickaxes arrive in Save the World, we will grant all of the unique pickaxes you earn through progress in Save the World as cosmetic items which you’ll be able to use in Battle Royale as well.
Will there be other improvements to locker functionality and cosmetics?
Yes! There are many improvements still on the...
Hey Fortnite Friends,
We wanted to give everyone a heads up regarding some upcoming changes that we’re making to Wargames and Endurance mode. Let’s hop in:
Wargames and Endurance are here to stay in the next season and beyond as permanent game modes. With Season 9 coming to a close, seasonal tickets will no longer be offered as a reward for Wargames Daily Quests and Wargames Mission Rewards. We are also taking this time of transition to address some issues with Wargames and Endurance rewards.
At the start of the upcoming season, Mission Rewards for Wargames will be reduced so that consistently AFKing through Wargames is less appealing. To compensate for this change, the Daily Wargames Quests now give increased rewards specific to Stonewood, Plankerton, Canny Valley and Twine Peaks. In addition, the "Husk Swarm" challenge will be removed as this challenge was too easy to AFK.
- Stonewood Daily Wargames Quests will reward additional Gold
- Plankerton Daily Wargames Quests wi...
