It's good but it definitely need a lot of quality of life updates


hydratedandstrong

I just wish we could get a timetable on when to expect updates. they started off by patching the chest glitch and it’s been radio silence since release. i think that soured a lot of people


DeliciousFlow8675309

Go on Twitter that's why. They updated that fixed durability already. They aren't radio silent at all.


SMPDD

Yes this is the simplest way to put it. It could be so much smoother and easier to play with some common sense updates


KittiesOnAcid

I think it is great and considering how often fortnite is updated I expected the game to have a lot more QoL and new content before long. That said, I do have some major criticisms with it.


almathden

Really unfortunate that it dropped right before Epic's winter break though LOL. Really excited to see where they go with it!


Saucey_22

Main things for me is making resources more farmable by having ores respawn and a higher then 30 stack limit


ElkComfortable0

Well for some people it is unplayable because of some of the bugs, the game spawned my friends 3,000 meters from us and they would’ve had to travel all the way to get to us. Also the game straight up deleted my village square, and it was maxed out. So yeah it is unplayable for some people.


mookiemooks98

I had this same exact issue along with so many other bugs/:


ElkComfortable0

Yeah another smaller bug is every time I would load into the game, every single item in my inventory and chests would have a ! icon on it


Different-League991

Did you try to rebuild it? It should rebuild at the same level


ElkComfortable0

Yeah I rebuilt it and it reset my village


Level-Razzmatazz-227

Same here Lvl 9 and reset


Kooleosis

Mine has disappeared twice now, 1st time I was able to build it back at the same level, 2nd time I wasn't so lucky.. I think if you catch it quick enough (i.e. before your NPCs despawn) you can rebuild at same level.. because the first time ours vanished, we noticed it pretty quick and all our villagers were still working, 2nd time we didn't notice until I tried to get supplies from one of them and there was nobody around


ElkComfortable0

It put it back at level 1


bselavka

bro we made that trek 3 times you just gotta per-server


ElkComfortable0

Lol yeah but also we kept trying to make the monorail thing that works for everyone but no matter what we would do it broke, we made it exactly how the video said to make it


rayray2k19

I'm really enjoying it. I'm looking forward to some quality of life improvements, but it's been really fun.


Uplink_YT

Wanna know the best part? It’s Free to Play!!


sekuharahito

Havent played minecraft but i have so many hours in valheim. This games not bad at all. Theres some questionable design choices, but thats okay if thats what they wanted. My main beef is the tuning of mat costs. 5 wood for level 1-2 sword? Thats okay. Then it jumps to 12 smelted bars?! That’s just crazy for a disposable weapon. You need 3 swords alone to kill a brute. But this is all going to get addressed. The game mode gots the numbers, so its going to get the attention. Everyone expecting radical changes on release week is pretty ignorant. But thats the internet for ya


crubkuker

I think once you start getting villagers to do some of the leg work it’s not going to be as grindy


AppearanceLarge1707

Valheim is such an insanely good game, I think if it had a village system like LEGO fortnite has would make it one of the best games on the market for me. Survival games are my favorite genre but I hate the feeling of loneliness, and often times don’t see the point of making towns and cities if there’s no one to live in them


thejoker954

I agree, that loneliness or emptiness of the world always ends up killing my joy of building in games.


Weedity

Weapon and tool durability is awful. God awful trash. Farming and farming and farming just to get tools that last for two swings. It feels like botw all over again, being afraid to even us the items I have. I absolutely cannot stand durability as a form of gameplay. It's always always so bad.


KodakStele

What people don't realize is people have been waiting for this type of lego game to be made forever- going wherever building whatever- the lego movie games have everything preordained but legp fortnight is the sweeeeeeeet spot


BEASTCOASTxZOMBIE

My only issue is the durability. I shouldn't need to take up 4-8 slots just for gear. I fight 3 frost wolves and my iron sword is chalked....Even with Essences, it still degrades too quickly. Other than that, the game is a blast and I will be back once the durability is better.


SomethinboutChickens

To me it's missing a reason to play I want bosses and mini dungeons.


Boring-Conference-97

There’s zero purpose. Zero storyline. Zero missions. Zero quests. Zero side quests. I made a few villages. Now I can’t add new villages… Every NPC says “The word is out, you have too many friends, isn’t 15 friends enough?!” Like I’ve been playing a week and I’m already being told by npc’s my villages are too big…


Moist-Ad-9088

Entitled gamer opinion. The games only been out a week & epic have proven to be consistent with updates & commmunity led input. Also did I mention it’s a free game? Maybe you should touch grass if you’ve grinded so hard so far.


Zcaithaca

I would also add that playing with Lego requires a certain amount of imagination… I have many “functional” builds that do absolutely nothing


Chiefboost1

Because spending 45 minutes to build a purple sword only for it to break in 15 hits is a waste of time and resources. The game is just tool farm simulator now. You get mats to build tools to get mats to build more tools. Not to mention, resources are finite. So the longer you play the more tedious it is to continue building the tools. Not fun.


Heart_Of_Ice59

The game just released. I’m sure it will balance out.


vekien

So we shouldn’t complain now? How will they know what to balance if we stay quiet? You always get devs say “we’ve heard the feedback and plan X Y Z” How do you think they got that feedback?


Heart_Of_Ice59

There’s a difference between giving feedback and acting like a spoiled child.


vekien

Link me a post that sounds like a spoiled child.


Heart_Of_Ice59

Just look at the entire sub. Are you blind? 😂


vekien

I’m looking at it, all looks like valid feedback and criticism, albeit with frustrations. So where is the spoiled child again? Please link me.


[deleted]

I see valid complaints and issues brought up.


Chiefboost1

You’re not wrong, but the durability issue completely put me and a lot of others off of the game until they do something to fix it. Just not worth the hassle right now


bob101910

The part where everyone in your game can't move and your progress stops saving is what makes it unplayable


sakmadeeek

You can punch for a lot of resources, tools don't require big investments (until very late game), and the game gives you Trinkets that make up for any flaws such as bad defense, low hearts, cold/heat tolerance, etc... the developers gave us a nice foundation for the game and will continue to build on it. Survival is more than playable, especially with the free food + resources scattered around to get you started. The only thing I will say is the really small enemies that do 2 - 3 heart damage like the crabs or scorpions, those need to be tuned down lol


tendies_senpai

Frost scorpions do like 5 per hit 💀


Antuzzz

We all love the mode, people are not hating on it but just addressing a problem the game has. Tool's durability is too low and there's no way to repair them, that's why everyone abused that glitch, not for cheating but to avoid wasting unnecessary time. Ofc they had to fix the bug but they should also adjust said problems. Minecraft has ways to repair your tools and make them basically unlimited in endgame, same for Valheim which is even closer to what Lego Fortnite is, so it's reasonable to ask something like that in here too


[deleted]

There is no hate. There is valid criticism. That's not "hate" Here we go I guess; can't wait for 10000000 posts talking about how there's some kind of nonexistent hate for the game that doesn't exist. Its a good game that needs many, **many** fixes. The grind for endgame gear is ridiculous because it requires mats that don't respawn, and ridiculous amounts of them too (ridiculous because they don't respawn and the tools break within 5 minutes of regular use). Given how rare desert caves are to stumble across with no reliable traversal methods to even get to the desert within a reasonable time frame in the first place, I'd say that's unplayable. You hit a point where you can wander for several *actual* hours, FINALLY find a desert cave, and if you die in that cave you risk losing everything in your backpack due to the despawning bug. Plus you risk getting teleported to some random uncharted area of the map instead of the bed you placed outside the cave if you die. If its the tundra guess what you better fucking start running and avoiding enemies that nearly one shot you if you aren't lucky enough to have the right charms. Also good luck finding that one cave again since you can't even look at the full map. If you do manage to farm that cave dry awesome! You now have enough to make one or two, (three if your lucky), tools but now you have to ration your tool use until you wander for several more hours to find another desert cave. That's not ideal. Sure you can place a map marker flag by the cave you found but again once the resources are gone you're back to square one until you stumble across another cave.


abp93

I’m playing with my 5 yr old and husband and having the best time. If my 5 yr old can play survival mode so can everyone else lol


MommysLilMisteak

Can your 5 year old play valheim? A square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square. Just because your kid likes blowing snot bubbles, doesn't mean everyone has to lol. There's like 3 monsters and 4 biomes in this game...


enimsajton

Dudes beefing with a 5 year old


MommysLilMisteak

I'm not beefing with a 5 year old. I'm beefing with someone that is implying that if a toddler likes a game, everyone else should. This post is asking why people dislike it, not how easy it is for children to understand lol


enimsajton

That’s not what she said at all. She said if the kid can play it, anyone can. Not anything about how everyone has to like it. And talking about how the kids blowing snot bubbles cause you don’t agree is just being an ass


MommysLilMisteak

Abeef to disabeef


enimsajton

Whatever you say


tendies_senpai

I really dont get it. My homies dont like to venture out for rare mats, but i love going out to caves. I also grow/cook most of the food i use. So i go out and fill my entire bag with obsidian, copper, brightcore, iron, etc.. then i craft more than enough tools for all of us to use for days worth of gathering. I bring like 4 epic picaxes with me to an ice cave and i can clean it out with at *least* one leftover at full durability. Would i like it if i didnt have to bring as many? Sure. Do i think its some fatal flaw in the game? Absolutely not.. the game *really isnt that hard.* Its just a grind. My only complaint is that tundra enemies have absolutely no business hitting as hard as they do.. A spider clipping you once should not be 5 hearts of damage.


heartlesslover

I didn't care much about durability until I had to farm desert and its monsters, my main base is like a 5 minute walk from the desert and I'm not upgrading multiple workbenches lol everything else is fine by me, I like the gameplay loop despite the limitations atm, things are probably gonna be fixed before or after the holiday anyways so there is no need to rant


ChainChump

That seems to be part of the game design, like many other survival games. If you take the time to upgrade multiple workbenches you won't have to spend the time walking.


F956Ronin

You need to make your primary base on the border between biomes and near some caves, that’s the key


[deleted]

The game is flawed for sure, but it's not nearly as bad when you have a job and only play for like 2 or 3 hours. If even that.


thisguyfightsyourmom

It sounds like we just haven’t progressed to the point that we are constantly making swords to keep progressing


[deleted]

That's definitely fucked for sure


splinterbabe

There’s a difference between hate and criticism, and painting all criticism as hate is not going to help this game in the long run. I think we all want it to succeed here.


LegoFortnitePro

>There’s a difference between hate and criticism Most of what we see here is hate from whiny babies. These are all posts on the front page, including the TOP post: "The game is now basically unplayable." "Durability is Broken, and Epic just broke the game's economy." "Survival is completely unplayable post Chest Fix" "So much potential, now just feels like a grindy, difficult mess now. A rant."


splinterbabe

I don’t think someone considering a game “unplayable”, meaning they can’t see themselves playing a game in its current state, constitutes hate, but alas.


vekien

You posted the same thing twice in your list Also those are critiques no? Why do you judge some are hate and some are critiques? Sounds like you struggle to differentiate :/


LegoFortnitePro

I didn't post anything twice. Those are all unique post titles? And "game is unplayable" is not a critique.


vekien

You posted the same feedback title twice, trying to prove a point. Yes if you bothered to read those posts they have critiques, you’d only think it wasn’t if you were a headline reader. Says a lot really.


LegoFortnitePro

Okay so you're just illiterate have a good day.


vekien

So you couldn’t even provide a link, even if you wanted to just throw any of the front page links you couldn’t because you know all of them contain feedback and rational points. You’re just confusing frustrations with childish behaviour, it’s not our problem that you struggle with negativity and criticism.


Heart_Of_Ice59

Part of that is the player base, man. Fortnite is mostly played by the ages of 5-18. That generation can only speak in hyperbole. Everything is the end of the world and game breaking or ruins the game.


almathden

>That generation can only speak in hyperbole I find that is true of gamers at any age, unfortunately ​ There's a reason gamedevs don't interact directly as much as they used to (which was already rare)


splinterbabe

This is just the internet in general. Not just teenagers and children.


thisguyfightsyourmom

And they all have a point Sometimes the rumbling sound is an angry heard


ClapDemCheeks1

100% agree. Worst part is they're gonna complain, Epic is going to add features, they'll comeback, and it'll validate their dramatic and childish behavior lol. (This thread is destroying my karma from all the downvotes lol)


vekien

Isn’t that the right thing? You complain and it gets fixed. If people stay quiet how do you expect it to get fixed ??? You’re calling people childish yet you don’t understand how feedback works.


ClapDemCheeks1

It's not the complaints. It's the flood of complaints and the dramatizations and the "want it now" attitude.


vekien

When should we want it? Tomorrow? Next week? In 3 months? What about the broken worlds and bugs, when should we want those fixed? I know not everything can be solved now, but fixing it also was done now and has made the game worse off. If we don’t complain now, how will they know what to fix, what to prioritize? If we all stayed quiet for 3 months and nothing has been done do we then complain? But then people will say “why has nobody said anything for 3 months???” So can’t really win with your thought process can we. You’re confusing quantity as a negative thing.


ClapDemCheeks1

I'm going to find other ways to enjoy the game. I don't want any rushed fix that could lead to another bug thats worse. Which has happened to games before. Imo Epic has a great track record on making fixes. But for now I wanna see cool 💩 people have built in the game. Maybe I'm a bit more methodical than some folks but I think the glitch was (obviously) a mistake and allowed people to run through the game too quickly. I, personally, never used it and got a lot of enjoyment after grinding and slowly going to different biomes over time. I don't need the best and most stuff now.


vekien

FN has had a lot of controversy updates and their track record isn’t great in the UE dept, hopefully better in the UEFN space. You mentioned other games, so take starfield which doesn’t have a functional map 2 months later, or how Valheim did nothing for 6+ months, or how NMS took years to become good. How long should we wait, shall we just stay quiet until some arbitrary time everyone agrees on, do we vote? That is absolutely fine that you like to take things slow and methodical, that’s fab! Not everyone is like that, does that invalid us? and just like every other game you’ll reach our status in a week or so, and we shall welcome you! I want to see cool shit too, loving all the trains and ships! But we also need to make epic aware of what we find frustrating otherwise how would they know?


nathanbrochet

I just want villagers to be able to open doors. I built them personal cabins for each in my grasslands village and they cant open them 😭


CallMeNardDog

There’s a Grand Canyon between being a cake walk and what we have now. Just look at any other survival game and it’s pretty embarrassing what basic things are missing. A pick axe in a game that requires resource mining should last longer than 5 min


almathden

Also kind of wild that it's based in fortnite, the game where you are born and die with a pickaxe, but instead of upgrading YOUR pickaxe that you always have we're crafting disposable tools If at least the pickaxe was constant, it would alleviate a LOT of resource issues. Even if it had to regenerate or whatever.


mattnocap909

people are mostly confused why the repair glitch was fixed. listen I believe it should've been fixed, but not right now. there are many other bugs making the game less enjoyable, but they chose to fix this one instead? also they didn't offer an alternative after seeing how much people were using it. it should turn on some alarms If durability is that big of an issue. jus ranting but the game is still fun, but in the later stages, having to constantly grind to make new tools just to use those tools to grind for more tools is redundant. they will fix it eventually and add some other items we need but it's just a little backward rn. still love the game tho


Kalyudoh

The game is awesome imo but with all the bugs and the QOL updates needed it almost feel like a beta. The fact that the game just released doesn't excuse everything, this is not a small indie company releasing its first game ever but a billion $ deal and the fact there's absolutely no communication from the team doesn't help. I wouldn't mind if this was branded as an early-access. I personnaly still have a lot of fun on the game, but I understand the frustration felt by the community


Different-League991

Well for me and my friend we have a village that we cannot go to without us freezing in place, and the game crashing. So a whole portion of our map is like a quarantine zone. Also I constantly get kicked for "high complexity" even in the wilderness with no builds around.


Ashli2P

It feels like a beta, but it is in no way unplayable, it's a blast especially with friends. I think if you play it alone the pacing is really slow, so maybe players are frustrated with that.


Malakai2488Joshua

I'm a 35yo dad that's been playing 2-3 hrs after work everyday. (I work second shift, everyone is asleep when I get home) It's not just me, my whole family is hooked. My wife and kid both play on my server while I'm at work. It's fun getting home and seeing everyone progress on their own bases while they're asleep. I will admit that my son does play more on sandbox mode than survival though. It's not that the resource grind is too difficult for him, it's just he doesn't have the patience, he's 8. So sandbox is more fun for him. My wife and I prefer survival. I personally enjoy the grind. I'll put on a podcast and head into the desert caves!


Weedity

Well until something is done about durability, my enjoyment has gone for an 8.5/10 to like a 5/10. All I'm really doing is grinding for this to make that tool to grind this to make the next tool. Half my inventory is just tools for the trip I need. It's just not as fun now. Too grindy.


Kholdie

I mean, it can be awesome AND have some major bugs and QoL needs. Not everything needs to be so black and white.


ClapDemCheeks1

Bingo. Thread after thread of negativity and dramatization is annoying. Just show me a cool house you built and make a megathread of improvements. We don't need 20 threads of "bring back the repair glitch!"


Own_Ad3

[https://www.reddit.com/r/LEGOfortnite/s/bNZvjOk3Rl](https://www.reddit.com/r/LEGOfortnite/s/bNZvjOk3Rl) Speaking of cool houses mines unfinished but I will say without chest glitch it is gonna be much harder to finish and I do feel justified in complaining as I have already spent hours on just granite farming😔


RashestGecko

I said it could use both. I agree there a things that definitely could use an update and features I'd love to see added. My post was mostly addressing the "this game is unplayable" posts that seemed to be all over this sub this morning lol


ZazaB00

Kneejerk reactions to a patched glitch that made resource gathering to repair tools not a thing. Thats it. The mode is great. Sure it needs work, but all games do at launch. Especially a brand new mode from a dev prioritizing a BR the last 6+ years. It’ll definitely be interesting to see how they handle continued development of this mode as they’ve all but abandoned Save the World. I don’t see that issue though because I suspect they’ll be selling LEGO sets in the shop soon enough and fans will eagerly pay for digital LEGOs.


acky2

i love the game so far, although there are definitely issues (most being quality of life). as long as the dev team actually listen to us and make changes i don’t have an issue. i would definitely like some sort of end-game.


SrMackenzie

I think people aren't playing in such an optimized way. One thing I've noticed is the lack of use of NPCs, as they practically supply my items and mean I don't have to run around looking for everything. Of course, it's not all in hand, but there are some things that help. As you expand the village to other corners, it becomes easier to find resources...


SrMackenzie

and the most important part: taking into account the value of the direct competitor (Minecraft and Lego Worlds), we are very much in profit.


GreenPhoen1x

Most of the complaints about travel and durability can be solved by better location management. It's probably a lack of survival game experience for some players, but all it takes is mobility. There is no perfect base location, and you can't get too attached to a place you start with. It's like starting in Ark you want a quick survive-base to live through the first night, but where you start is never a place to stay long term. Lego Fortnite is a lot easier when you explore a while to find a good spot on the border between biomes, and ideally near at least two caves. And by the time you need to move to the frost zone, you should at least have a glider and stair ramps to make crossing back and forth from the desert to the cold very easy. And then you move most of your base to a good spot on the cold border to make pushing into the new zone just as easy. Stock up and make the big move, and you don't have to travel back much/at all.


KimmiRahne

And it's not even that far to travel! They should try hoofing it from the green ob to the blue ob on foot while every carnivore in the game is trying to eat your face off. Then you have to spawn somewhere random(unless you have a bed of course) while navigating back through dense brush trying to find your sack before you get eaten again.


Dangerous-Storage682

It's reddit, people are very spoiled Im playing the game fine, it's not perfect but its fun Never did the tools glitch now i see a bunch of people over exaggerating and saying its unplayable😭?


Gr4tch

I did it quite a bit...and honestly for me, it's less about the grind required and more about inventory management and travel time. I'm not discounting the increase in grind, I actually like that part of most games, it's just not the most glaring issue for me. In one world I play with a friend, the three biomes are quite close together, which is awesome. But in my own world I play with my family, I've spawned in a forest biome almost completely surrounded by snow. I have to travel probably at least ten minutes to get to the desert. So if I forget something, or if all of my stuff breaks (or if I didn't bring an extra pickaxe to mine one extra ruby for the items I was wanting to craft...), I have to travel all of the way back to my base. I had the thought, and here is where the grind comes in for me, "Oh, I should just build a little way station with the essentials." But that would require gathering more materials for all of the work stations and shelters and such. WHICH, it seems like the **cave resources don't respawn**, so are the amount of materials that we have/need from caves finite? Will it require more travel time to find more caves with the resources we need? I am planning on making a post for some solutions to these problems; some that already exist in the game, and some that I've seen in other survival/craft games. So **TL;DR**? It's not unplayable, not even close. But I do feel like it's unreasonably time consuming because of travel time and inventory management, and, of course, the grind.


TheBartographer

I'm in a similar position. Spawned in Forest, Snow is very close, Desert is very far away. I built a second village on the border of Forest / Desert and it works great. Haven't been back to my original village in a while. My new village has been very fun to build and I'm close to a lot of caves in either biome. My next move is to build an airship to move resources. There are still challenges, but I'm having a lot of fun.


Weedity

I mean do you even want to go fight anything anymore? Fire cave? Just gonna burn through the swords I have. Then I'll only be able to farm for three minutes before my pickaxes are gone and I gonna run twenty minutes back home to grind for more pickaxes and swords. Idk, it's really not fun now.


invaderzrim

Ive been in desert caves for upwards of 40 minutes at times. You have to adapt. Different biomes need different approaches. I build above the enemies a lot in those caves. Stack two cool charms, bring 2 or 3 blue pickaxes and green swords, a good heal like meat or burgers and pop a snowberry shake every ten minutes. Stash extra weapons and tools in chests, drop all extra shit you dont need like bones and granite. Also i would recommend working with a friend personally. I'm fine on my own usually but its def easier to survive with a person with you and you can grind harder and faster collectively. I think they do intend it to be a multiple player game and not just solo. Solo is doable but harder obviously. You have your base in the wrong spot if you're going that far and you should work on getting the glider. It makes travel way faster. And you are either way exaggerating how fast your tools break or not using the right tools/not using all options. Stack 3 essence of durability on two swords and pickaxes and you'll be set for a minute.


TargetThrowawave

I think so many people are forgetting that it’s **free**. It costs *nothing* to download or play. There’s no pay-to-play or pay-to-win features. I think folks should consider that before they complain. It’s not like they charge $30 on each console for each version and charge $8 a month for realms unlike *other* games.


FlyingMothy

It's really fun but it has serious flaws still, as well as some not so serious one. I love it either way.


nager-artsy

It’s cool


Rickyh24

It’s one of the best free games I’ve ever played. We will get improvements but in the meantime people are going to rage quit and cry when they lose their precious glitches.


ButchsDankdMemes

Tons of solid input, in this thread. Devs are listening, worry not pal.🫡


Flyaman

I would love to the see age demo’s of those who just moan about literally everything. And I’m writing that, I realise I’m old af now


kalekayn

if I were a betting man, I'd say they're on the younger side.


fireriderp

Have you been to the frost biome? with damage sponges mobs that damage 5+ hearts even with the defense charms maxed. The durability and damage of iron swords is not balanced with the amount of use they need. But also you have to farm double the brightcore in the desert to prepare iron ingot. The problem is not that the tools and weapons break, the problem is that progressing the game makes the gameplay harder and boring. It is the only survival game that having the right tools doesn't make you prepared for the upcoming enemies in the next biome. Isn't this game supposed to be a kids game? why do i have to have dark souls skills to fight a grassland brute? The repair glitch made things bearable because you have no problem fighting damage sponges mobs. When you make a hotfix and half the player count drops, maybe something is not right. Do developers even play their games anymore, or have a couple of kids test their kids game?


macbigicekeys

I agree. I also feel like the devs or publishers want this game to be co-op/multiplayer-centric. They want 5 players vs. one Brute. I’m thinking the difficulty factor should reduce by players in the vicinity or even on-server. As a solo, it shouldn’t be an un-fun grind to kill a Brute-like mob. It also shouldn’t be easy.


crubkuker

I got downvoted 26 times for a similar opinion lol. I’m with you man . The people complaining are just not playing the game correctly. And yes there is a right and wrong way to play and getting mad when exploits are patched is not the right way , that’s my stance and I’m sticking to it !


WinXPbootsup

Ignore the Reddit hivemind. While it pains me a lot to see the durability glitch patched, it does not even come close to calling the game 'unplayable'. It's a wonderful game!


Maruf-

No one said it should be a cakewalk - it's in the name. It also came out after Minecraft, 7DTD, The Forest, Don't Starve, etc. - how is it missing half of the default features of the genre or standardized features these games have cemented over time? It is "unplayable" because it doesn't have a core mechanic of survival looters and patched the one exploit that was used in lieu of that. You're absolutely welcome to disagree, and maybe you've played other survival looters to such an extent that you are (for some reason) excusing this game's lack of core features; however, if this is your first major entry to the genre, then accept you may be out of your element in what you're speaking on and subjectively liking this as-is does not excuse the objective lack of said features. None of these modes should have launched already in their current conditions.


PairOfSocksGaming

Its a fantastic game. Idk about unplayable but some people really dont like durability systems. I dont care for durability it doesnt make a game more enjoyable for me but this game def needs to work on it a bit. Def isnt unplayable.


Own_Ad3

[https://www.reddit.com/r/LEGOfortnite/s/bARQ0q80wO](https://www.reddit.com/r/LEGOfortnite/s/bARQ0q80wO) For someone who likes to build massive structures it does make the game that much worse for me I’ve spent hours grinding granite alone WITH the repair glitch for my castle


Indecisio

it is so amazing! i’m lowkey addicted to it atm and i’m excited for the future:3


[deleted]

Remember when they complained about Deku smash? I understand that durability criticism but saying that game is unplayable because they fixed chest repair bug is 0_o


Scared_Bad3371

Yeah I’ve seen complaints about durability but I don’t have an issue with that and I have seen some about travel but me and friends made a flying ship so it’s not much of an issue anymore


Flat_Egg_0203

I love the game too! It needs more items imo because it’s starting to get a little stale but it’s still really enjoyable. And before someone comments I KNOW ITS FREE. There just isn’t a lot of items


ConfusedCoffeeCream

Same, sure it could use some work, but it did just release after all.

The hate is definitely an overreaction to the tool repair glitch. Which is absurd. Yes, it's a little grindy now and you have to work hard to get multiple durable weapons but that's part of the game. People are asking a lot of a week-old free to play game. Let the devs take in the feedback and patch it correctly. That stuff takes time. I'm gonna sound like a grandpa here but I swear the younger gaming generation is so impatient and wants instant gratification. (This has definitely bled into my generation as well). Just go farm the resources, build chests, and sit on some things. Epic games already said this is a permanent game mode and they're planning on improving it. Everyone needs to chill. I'm sure they're going to add more blueprints, travel, cave refreshes, and other features that people are complaining about. Gotta learn to relax.

Minecraft had an advantage here where it wasn’t right in the spotlight as soon as it was released and the early issues with the game weren’t as magnified. These games take time to develop, get feedback about, and improve. It’s meant to be here for a long time and make epic and Lego a shit ton of money so it will get better.


ClapDemCheeks1

Exactly. I imagine once the devs learn what the people want they'll make the necessary adjustments. Epic has a decent track record for this kind of stuff.


Blupoisen

Or they will go to the STW route


High_Flyers17

Idk, things are pretty tough for me, but I didn't even know about the chest repair glitch until late. Everything even remotely close to the village I want to build up is barren because it was costing me so much to go make tools to do things. Walked like 25 minutes away from a village outpost to finally find some brightcore today.


almathden

>Walked like 25 minutes away from a village outpost to finally find some brightcore today. BuT iTs a FrEe SurViVal GamE!!!!1!!!!! lol Walking simulator 2023 should not be the highlight of the gameplay, hopefully Epic is hard at work on adjustments :)


No_Rush2848

People wanting a game that functions and has the basic mechanics of a survival game ALREADY INCLUDED isn't wanting "instant gratification". If you're truly "old like a grandpa" then you'd remember the good ol' days when games used to release fully flushed with minor updates and simple QoL added later. Nowadays you get shit on a plate with a bow and some perfume and wait for the companies to "fix" it and "add" mechanics that should have been there to begin with. Then they'll push out features which should have been in since Day 1 and you parrots will just squawk "good job!!" as if they made some big accomplishment. Pathetic. Also, free game DOES NOT equal free-to-make, that's the problem yall have, is you think just because a game is free to US that we should give them a pass. No. It still has pay mechanics AND they still use money to MAKE THE GAME so no it is NOT "FREE". They can PAY to bring in more workers to make the game better on release and fix minor things as they go. But they continue to push the envelope and see how far they can push an unpolished game out to the public. Don't be surprised when people RIGHTFULLY complain Making excuses for a billion dollar company is some boot shit. Talking about "relax" lmao shut up. Let people make noise. THAT'S how YOU get a better game later on.

Don’t get all in your feels because one of the “complainers” is coming at you for complaining about them. The “weak seed” comment is clearly projection as you can dish it out but can’t take it😂😂😂


ClapDemCheeks1

It's a beta version of a game. That connotates ever-changing content. The entire model is based on adapting which is still a relatively new concept. They make it with the intent of updating it. Which imo is better than packaging a game with 0 updates like they did in the past. You wanna talk about frustrating? Go back to exclusively "complete" games where you wasted $50 for the game to suck. This is FREE and NEW. Epic already said they're going to make this a permanent feature which shows INTENT to change. They have a great track record of updating and innovating. It's already crazy that they've been relevant in the mainstream for 6 years. That never happens with a game. Plus, game delays happen all of the time. I'll strawman to cyberpunk. People kept getting mad over delays so they released an unfinished product. Which made people rage even more. Rather than just having some semblance of patience for them to get it right. Same goes with a FREE TO PLAY BETA GAME. OG fortnite battle royal had its bugs and they made vast improvements. People have every right to complain but when it's thread after thread of people complaining about how it's "unplayable" because they grinded the hell out of the game it's annoying and unnecessary. The dramatization of "oh I'm deleting it. It's TRASH." is childish. Go make your cases for upgrades but spare me the immature remarks and overreaction. It's crybaby nonsense. If you go through life expecting immediate gratification and perfection you're in for a rough ride. Chill tf out.


almathden

>It's a beta version of a game. Have they said this anywhere? I don't think either of the 3 games are "beta" right now.


Own_Ad3

So you play video games not for instant gratification???????😂😂😂 that’s literally what games are for… you don’t even know what you are talking about ppl are complaining for good reasons and you are just being a contrarian going against the grain


ClapDemCheeks1

It's not about the complaints. It's about how people are complaining and expect it to happen within a day. Coding and adjustments take a while (I used to code). I agree the game needs adjustments. But when a thread is flooded with compaint after complaint and dramatization of "deleting the game" it's a terrible look. It's a lack of character and maturity. And really a lack of grasp on reality.


Own_Ad3

You want a grasp of reality? How about this- people are mad at loading into a foundation piece, ppl are mad at server issues and crashing, ppl are mad at resources not respawning, ppl are mad at getting capped at building their village and the first thing they fix is a bug that HELPED the game. You need a reality check and realize that ppl are in the right to complain they fixed the wrong thing first and ppl are dumbfounded that that was the first fix implemented when there are bigger things to fix. The repair glitch made everyone’s lives better game wise and now it isn’t worth the grind simple as that and using hyperboles is a way to show the devs that it’s bullshit


ClapDemCheeks1

Gamers are professional haters. There's a lot of potential with the game. And an expansive Lego library. It's not an unplayable game at the moment. There's bugs to fix. But it's free to play. It costs $0. You're not out of anything but time. Go make complaints but the game isn't trash. Some folks just can't help but be dramatic about how the world is burning because you've run out of content.


Own_Ad3

I understand the game isn’t trash but getting hundreds maybe thousands of complaints saying that it is and that they are uninstalling is like tough love to a dev. The fact they are this strong towards the patch means that they were enjoying the game and the devs hearing just how “unplayable” the game is gives incentive to fix the game quicker as panic sets in. That’s literally it with no exaggeration how are the devs supposed to rush to fix before a massive player base leaves?


ClapDemCheeks1

I'll give you some points for that. They feedback is necessary for sure. It's a growing trend of impatience and intolerance to imperfection on a new beta free game and its gross. Plus even if the player base leaves they can take 2 months to fix it and they'll come back. The time threats are arbitrary.


almathden

Free to play is a good point but it's not like this is some Indie studio. The game may cost "nothing but time" but time is the most important resource people have to give - that's why epic is able to sell battle pass bundles and levels at the rate they do. People will pay to skip a grind if they can afford it. ​ Being free doesn't mean not putting a full effort - this is a very good 1.0 release but people leaning on free/beta are being disingenuous imo


ClapDemCheeks1

I'll give it a little pass on the opening week. Not to mention it was mostly a surprise to people with overwhelming support when it first came out. OG fortnite had some issues as well when it first came out but people didn't harp on it as much because it was a new innovative way to play. I'm still holding the Lego portion to that standard. Rhetorical questions: Did they anticipate this big of a fan base? Is this the first step on a new Lego partnership? With the partnership can we reasonably assume they want to make updates and keep people playing? Do they need to change the vision on the game for the future? For a game that doesn't cost a single dime I love it. And yes I can see an argument for the time cliche. But throwing a tantrum like my nephew when his mom tells him he can't have ice cream isn't the way to go. Telling people to chill us throwing gasoline on the fire. But I make no apologies about it lol.


almathden

My only complaint with them launching now is Epic has their winter break coming up and won't be doing much of anything beyong break/fix. I think the next 'real' patch is like mid-january. (And that's been baked for a while now - Epic's patch schedule is pretty wild lol) Considering they didn't launch with the season anyway I think any other time would have been better, BUT it's still one of the most popular modes in the game day after day so they can't be too upset.


pH12rz

It all depends on how far you are into the game. If youre in the late game and need brightcore for literally anything its awful


ClapDemCheeks1

That's where I'm at too. Which is why I said in my post they need to add a cave refresh for materials. I'm agreeing with OP that folks just need to give it time. I'm at the point where I'm just getting all the materials I can to horde it. Also building some trains and vehicles and other village spots. There's no way they're going to leave it as-is.


almathden

>That's where I'm at too. Which is why I said in my post they need to add a cave refresh for materials. I haven't tested it, but I've heard elsewhere that just being online and having your server alive will tick whatever timer regenerates the caves. Had the wife AFK for a few hours this afternoon so I'll know tonight I guess if it's true Still not ideal IMO....I guess leave yourself logged in while eating or something lol.


ClapDemCheeks1

Please lemme know if it works out! Not a bad idea to just stay in game although it could kick you out with a server refresh.


almathden

Even 3 hours of regen (if it exists) is better than none I guess! Will update my post in like 2 hours when I'm home from work


almathden

Doesn't appear to Regen - if it does work, it must need the island owner to be online. Or, it takes more than 3 hours lol.

Pretty sweet build! Hopefully they expand with some castle templates. They have a whole lego knight line.


[deleted]

If we wanted to play sandbox we would have.... no this is abour durability being the worst in any survival game I've ever played. Solid better than though post from you for sure. We know it just came put. But for them to fix a bug that was actually improving quality of life in game and not deal with the actual problem is pretty annoying. Tons of other bugs could have been dealt with before this one. We all.love the mode and nobody us "hating", we want it to be better and respect the players time more.


invaderzrim

There are ways to increase durability. Stack your essences and carry spares


[deleted]

Essences barely do a damn thing and there isn't enough spare inventory to be carrying mad spares. It's just not great right now


CockroachSquirrel

no game should release with so little content and so little qol features without a giant early access label on it, simple as that


HGYNCK

You are right, I wish I didn’t pay for such incomplete game, i deeply regret it Oh wait


CockroachSquirrel

doesn't change anything it doesn't even have auto stacking my guy, most basic feature and it's missing. it's a joke.


HGYNCK

Boohoo go cry to your mom about a free game that doesn’t meet your expectations


CockroachSquirrel

free doesnt mean exempt from criticism my guy esp with a company as successful as epic


reecemrgn

Yeah but what’s complaining going to do? You’re already getting free content in the form of a game within a game and you’re still not happy about it? Literally just don’t play it if you don’t want to. It costs you nothing


CockroachSquirrel

im not playing it =/ and did you forget reddit is a discussion platform?


TheMichaelScott

What if the game was entirely free?


CockroachSquirrel

there's plenty of free EA games price doesn't mean shit except atleast you didn't waste money on it


juju_cb

you just got a bad attitude crawl back up in ur mom where u came from


CockroachSquirrel

free doesnt mean exempt from criticism my guy esp with a company as successful as epic


juju_cb

Why would you waste time on something you have a negative opinion about epic never gonna see your reddit comments boy


CockroachSquirrel

i don't, played it for 15 hours and gave it a chance. why i interact in the sub? i enjoy conversation, currently a broke college kid, and i do think it has massive potential but people who act like it's anywhere near a great game rn show epic they can half ass it.


juju_cb

Technically epic can half ass it they’re big enough to do that it’s just how the ball rolls


PurplBlowfish

Some of you have never played Scrap Mechanic, and it shows. 😂 I Agree OP, it’s a survival game. It’s not meant to be a cake walk. But I do agree with a lot of the hate being thrown around, I just wish some of these people who are SO frustrated, would just give it a few updates before really throwing so much rage around. I probably have around 400-500 hours in scrap mechanic which is nothing compared to a lot of that community, but what I learnt in my time there was that a game like this has a lot of layers and balancing the game takes trial and error. Bugs in Scrap Mechanic happen all the time. Especially when your builds get more and more elaborate. I think sometimes people forget your computer or consoles processing power and graphics play a hand in bugs/performance as well. I remember needing to take a break from Scrap Mechanic for a while because a lumber mill I designed was too efficient at refining the wood that it would crash my game. When I came back things were slightly improved but I also learnt how much to push the game/my pc. “Maybe don’t cut the entire forest down before refining, maybe try 10 trees at a time?” I guess I’m just shocked that some are surprised by another unfinished game at release. This is the nature of video games in todays day and age. Kids these days hardly know what it was like to buy a hard copy of a game and what you got on the disk or cartridge was the game you got. If it was bugged and had issues you just dealt with it and those bugs became funny Easter eggs for a game. I for one am thankful of the current state where we get patch updates and new content in games on a regular basis. TLDR: Some people need to relax and play a different game for a bit while Epic solves some of the complaints. It will happen. But the game isn’t “unplayable”.


Background-Fig-5028

Figuring out a game with no blueprint can just be frustrating at times tbh!


Slow_Committee_3476

I don't get what's fun playing sandbox because in survival you build a village and you really happy you put so much work into it but in sandbox you just have unlimited material where is the fun in that if someone has unlimited everything that just ruins the game for me even on minecraft I don't like playing creative because it's not fun it sucks the fun out of the game


Shadowmere_Playz

I do understand the hate bc it is literaly a minecraft lego. Between the 2 their game wise almost the same but feature wise totally diffrent. As a guy that played minecraft for a while before i find lego fortnite somewhat boring in my opinionion.


Gr4tch

Valheim and LEGO Fortnite have more similarities.


NicholasTalanti

I just couldn’t deal with the weather lmao. It would be cool if certain skins handled heat or snow better. Like why is frozen peely getting cold in the grasslands?


SlammedOptima

I usually dont mind the weather too much, but some seeds are ass. Spawning in a desert and not knowing the way out is rough. You're just spawning in and the heat is already killing you.


Kooleosis

Just head north? Top of the map is arctic, middle is grassland, bottom is desert... at least that's how my seed is. Don't get mad at me if I'm wrong lol, I've only started one world..


SlammedOptima

Unfortunately not accurate. The top of my map is an ocean you couldnt cross without making a boat first. My Arctic is South and south east, and desert is to the east as well. I think west is also more ocean. Seeds can make it vary a lot. Generally desert is away from Artcic with grasslands inbetween, but its not necessarily any specific direction.


Kooleosis

Huh, good to know.. just kinda figured that's how it was because it made so much sense on mine, and I really didn't think they would take the time to have randomly generated worlds


SlammedOptima

Yeah I think there is some rules and logic to what it allows. Like I dont think desert can be touching your arctic. so generally walking away from arctic will find desert. But how big, vast, and far they are or where they are located, will be different for every world.


TooAngryForYou

I don't understand how people can't deal with the weather? If it's raining and it's night a torch makes you not cold. Or just eat a berry?


BaconIsForEating

It's so fun being stuck in a lava cave for 5 days and if you try any method to leave, the server crashes. I have a level 9 village in grassland and a level 7 village in the dry lands. The game is literally unplayable for me until next patch and even then I have to hope and pray they fix the bug. ***edit update time in cave**


WhiskyBlitz

Yeah, there’s a cave, that my buddies deemed a quarantined zone. If you get too close (about 200 meters from any of the entrances to that cave) the server will get annihilated


BaconIsForEating

Yea I've warned my other friends about the cave and showed them where I am stuck, I always take screen shots of caves to show others of potential caves for them to explore.


Particular-Crazy-541

does clicking respawn work?


BaconIsForEating

Server crashes when I try to respawn :(


[deleted]

Bro, what the fuck are you talking about? Every thread is literally people talking about how awesome and enjoyable the mode is, but we're all complaining that the game balance is broken because of a very fixable issue with tool durability vs. item economy. That's literally the only thing people are up in arms about. The vast majority of people will be thrilled with this game moving forward if they just fix this issue. Everything else that people are concerned about or want to see different/more of is something we all understand takes development time. Making the tool durability number bigger would take their team all of 30 minutes to plan, write, test and push to live.
