Epic Games has taken player feedback to heart and is adjusting the PvE in Fortnite. Improvements are being made to clarity, randomness, and repetitive content.
Epic Games has presented their plans for the PvE mode “Save the World” in a lengthy blog post. This is based on player feedback.
Randomness in Rewards
Players should gain more control over their rewards:
- New missions have been added: Storm rewards with upgrade materials and other activities through which specific loot can be obtained.
- Event Shop (planned for December): Event currency like Halloween candy can soon be used to purchase event items.
- Hero leveling (planned for December): A gray, common hero can gradually be leveled up to an orange, legendary status
Improving Clarity
The game interface and user experience should be made clearer:
- Access inventory from anywhere (planned for December)
- Item management (planned for December): Contextual menus will be introduced for collection, card level-ups, and upgrades.
- Mission map (planned for January): Players will receive more details about how to complete a mission and what loot they can obtain.
Avoiding Repetitive Content
The content in PvE has repeated too quickly, leading to boredom:
- (Mini-)Bosses will be introduced (planned for December): (Mini-)Bosses with special behavior patterns will be added. This should make battles more interesting and they are a preparation for real boss monsters that are yet to come.
- Survival Mode V2 (planned for December): The survival mode will be adjusted. A new feature will be to skip days by voting.
- Work is being done on the endgame: Those who have played more than 60 hours will receive more and more random missions. In the long term, the story campaign will continue to be expanded, along with events and new PvP elements.
Is this enough to make you want to save the world in Fortnite again, or is it doomed because you prefer flying the Battle Bus?
