Fortnite: Save the World Dev Tracker

Hey everyone, 

We’re here with some further discussions on some of the balance changes that were made in the v11.30 update, along with our thoughts behind them. We’ve been closely monitoring the feedback since the release and we’re happy to inform you that a recent hotfix will address some of your concerns. 

One of our primary goals was to shift the meta so trap tunnels remain important and do the bulk of the work, but require active player participation to keep them intact and functional. Ultimately, we want to make active gameplay more engaging and fulfilling than passive gameplay; which is why we are introducing these early iterations of a meta shift. Ability damage and health/shield buffs are also a step towards that, but we’ve still got some work to do.

Gas Traps and Floor Launchers

We saw Gas Trap use that allowed affliction to stack and reach damage levels far beyond other traps. We changed the Gas Trap to no longer deal guaranteed full valu...

Thanks for bringing this up! This is definitely something that we're looking to address. The comparison between those is a massive difference.

Careful what you ask for... ;)

Hey everyone,

During our current sale, there was a brief period where Founder’s Chat was incorrectly advertised as one of the pack contents. This issue has since been resolved and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused as Founder’s Chat is no longer a feature in Save The World.

To make good on this issue, we’ll be granting all players who own a Super Deluxe, Limited, or Ultimate Founders Pack a Legendary Troll Stash Llama. If you qualify for the make good, you’ll receive your llama in the v11.40 update.

Additionally, we’ve seen some confusion around which packs are available. Players can upgrade to the Super Deluxe and Limited Edition packs via the in-game Store. The Ultimate edition is not currently available.

Thank you!

This is indeed a bug! We're working on getting it fixed. We have it listed on our Trello Board.

Hello there!

Thanks.

Hey, everyone! We’re entering downtime for v11.31.We’ll update this thread when downtime ends. Thanks! :)

What do you guys think of the new timed challenge aspect to dungeons?

Hey everyone,

v11.31 arrives tomorrow. Downtime begins at 4 AM ET (0900 UTC).

Stay warm out there commanders!

We're looking into an issue where Founder's Chat is still being advertised. This is incorrect. Founder's Chat is still disabled and we're working on getting the sale contents list corrected.

Thank you!

Hey everyone. This is definitely incorrect and we're working on getting this resolved. Founder's Chat is still disabled and this token should not be visible when packs are purchased. We're taking a look into why this is appearing.

Thank you for the tags and DMs on the issue!

The hotfix this morning included a tentative fix for this issue, but we won't be sure it works until the daily rotation tonight.

I totally agree with you! Note this from the original post:

as we prepare for further adjustments to the meta in future updates.

This is an issue that we are actively investigating, you can check the Trello about it here: https://trello.com/c/H58oZwB0/1144-daily-challenges-not-appearing

Some Hero perks were adjusted in alignment with the new increased Health and Shield values.

Probably something like this: A meta where no single game-play strategy is always the best solution to every challenge that the game presents.

That is by no means a flawless definition, but that's what I personally think :)

Hey everyone,

With the meta changes in the 11.30, we changed a lot of things about how Save the World is played. The changes that were made are under evaluation and iteration. We are continually monitoring your feedback about these changes as we prepare for further adjustments to the meta in future updates. We know its a bit tough out there at the moment, but we encourage you and your fellow commanders to keep playing with these recent changes, and providing us with your feedback here!

This patch came with its share of bugs, you can check out our Trello board he...
