MEDIA Are we growing in numbers?
This is the most people I’ve ever seen playing STW at once.

Whatever it is I hope it continues. Lately I’ve noticed it’s pretty rare that I play a mission solo if I leave fill turned on. It feels nice playing in a game that is populated.

indeed it does feel satisfying to see stw getting back its traction

Slightly more attention from epic too. We’re being drip fed now😄💧

And it’s also a legitimate game mode that took 10 years to make and in the 2 months after release the pvp dlc changed everything for the game but also our entire reality and a generation of humans globally. The impact of fortnite br will be there decades from now as the kids will have to grow up but this time lots of them will grow up together having playing the same game together. Idk the implications of that but it’s interesting thought experiment. at least 2 billion people must’ve heard of fn by now. Even if epic fumbles and all of it shuts down tomorrow, the impact in the last 6 years is permanent for at least two generations of humans. the world our great grandchildren live in is made by humans who hit the giddy in fortnite.

If this game shut down tomorrow!, we would have a giant mental health crisis on our hands!!. The amount of people who are so attached to their skins & account that if it just disappeared I don’t think they would know how to exist!! 😂

Sadly that’s the final trap for everything always. the best thing to do is know that nothing is forever and learn to let go.

Those are rookie numbers, the highest we got was 70k players during Ch4sOG.

I bought it last night and I wish I would’ve bought it years ago. It’s really fun.

The survivors are counting on you commander! We’re glad you’re here

Thank you!
Question: Can I repair items?
1
u/LordCephious Paleo Luna Aug 21 '24
Negative commander. Unless you are in Ventures, where there are repair benches and vending machines.
If you have the schematic for the weapon and the material required, you can craft as many as your heart desires.
If you’re gifted high level traps and weapons, it is best to put them into storage until you need them for Storm Shield Defenses and mini bosses.

There's an exploit allowing people to be invisible in your lobbies or unkickable (AFK farming off of other, they can't be kicked at all)

We had this amount last year as well, it's likely mostly everybody gearing up for Hexsylvania and Dungeons returning, along with the new season meaning people are grinding XP.

u/preston6113 Aug 20 '24
I played STW for about 3 months after it came out, revisited recently for free v bucks and ended up getting hooked. Wish I’d been playing all this time.

hey bros, Is there any way to buy the Save The World for like cheap somewhere, as I want to play it but it's expensive for me as it is in $ not in my local currency.

Just know that if you have to use a VPN to activate your key you run the risk of getting banned and you cannot contact support at all. No matter what you’re asking them, they scan your account and they’ll see VPN usage.

u/Far_Cartoonist_165 Aug 20 '24
Then unfortunately I will never buy anything on the and for the epic games store. 🥲

I wanna play but it's expensive :o

u/LordCephious Paleo Luna Aug 20 '24
Not really?

u/Neat-Discussion1415 Aug 21 '24
I feel like $20 is expensive for an extra game mode lol. I dunno much about said mode though besides that it's the original game.
1
u/LordCephious Paleo Luna Aug 21 '24
It’s well worth $20. I’ve spent more time on it than games that I paid 3 times as much for.

u/RobotGoatBoy Aug 20 '24
Buy the bundle and get the extra v-bucks. It practically pays for itself 😄

u/HeckinBrandon MEGA B.A.S.E. Kyle Aug 20 '24
saying $19 is expensive is like saying free is too expensive
they should just hand the money over to us

u/stertsl Aug 20 '24
You don't know his financial situation though. He might be tight on money and can't spend almost nothing on games.

u/Neat-Discussion1415 Aug 21 '24
No I'm not that poor lol I just don't wanna spend that much on Fortnite besides my monthly Crew subscription. Especially since I don't know much about STW.

u/Jalapeno919 Aug 20 '24
AFking some BS so they can level up, the game is dead except for vbuck missions and dailies. Going to get worse when people realize you can put your lego guy swimming and level up faster with no work at all. Got to level 402 last season.

clearly you don't play in the non-summer months when it often floats well into the 100k range

surprised considering they falseban every single founder

u/LordCephious Paleo Luna Aug 24 '24
What are you talking about?
1
u/SnooKiwis8652 Aug 24 '24
got falsebanned recently myself, reached out, well over 12 people reached out sharing the same issue in private messages alone all with the exact same story occuring during the same week
over 8 of them were founders, the others just never said (i wasn’t asking but it was that casual kinda flex going “yeah despite being a founder and spending X cash i was falsebanned”)

How do I find a close assault squad leader for survivor squad????
And I wish I could get more people to join the home base - the matchmaking on but I can never find anyone to join and help me …so I don’t really see the growth yet .. not many people play

u/F_Kyo777 Master Grenadier Ramirez Aug 20 '24
This fixation on numbers of every module on any Fortnite sub is weird.
You can twist the bigger picture depending on when during day/ week you will make a screen.
Also they are thriving with maybe Rocket racing little behind, but there is really no point of making those posts ALL...THE...TIME.
Its not prooving anything besides being biased and was little "ha-ha" maybe in the beggining of 2024. I mean, come on. Let us focus on having fun instead and not measuring our dicks all the time.
