Some balance changes to the Endgame LTM.

Epic recently dropped some balance changes for the Endgame LTM. They are the following:

  • War Machine Arsenal now deals more damage.
  • Iron Man Repulsor now deals more damage.
  • Iron Man Boot Slam now deals more damage.
  • Iron Man Boot Slam now has a shorter cooldown.
  • Shuri Claw now deals more damage.
  • Captain America Shield Toss now deals more damage.

Personally, I think these changes were unnecessary. The Avengers were already much stronger compared to the Chitauri and all these changes are doing is making the already better team more powerful.

Anyways that's all for now. Until next time.

(Please note I meant to put this as a Mod Post)

Arena Boxfights updates

Man with a Plan Dogman here. Earlier today you may have had the misfortune of trying out Arena Boxfights only to see that it... um... "barely functioned" to put it nicely.

Epic has since put a few "updates" to the mode involving the issues encountered in the mode.

Fixed/Adjusted

Matches now start properly again. No having games get stuck into this glitched "eternal waiting" state.

You’ll no longer see the error messages ‘Have too many party members’ or ‘Unavailable due to party size’ when transitioning from a different game mode into Arenas.

The controller bind issue where Tactical Sprint and Open Leaderboard are bound to the same button has been fixed.

SBMM has been fixed.

Unbreakable floors will no longer break.

The inventory UI no longer goes invisible during a match.

The recap section is no longer missing from the Arenas post-match screen.

Arenas Quests are now updating properly and tracking progress.

Fixed in a Future Update

Ranks being incorrectly displayed in the Arenas lobby/in game. This is only a visual issue and does not affect actual rank progression. The Rank progress currently shown at the end of your Arenas match is your accurate rank.

Zadie’s dialogue lines incorrectly appear in English for players in different languages.

Preferred Item Slots aren’t respected, and items in the inventory aren’t persistently sorted after each round.

The in-match Arenas Overview description is missing.

"1v1 Me" button sometimes fails to properly assign players to the proper "first to seven" match.*

*Toggling Ranked ‘Off’ in the Arenas playlist will fix this as a temporary workaround.

Fixes in Progress

The mini map sometimes remains visible after being eliminated in Duos.

The Post-Game "Ready Up" button not fucking working.

Arenas stats are not correctly showing up in the Career Tab.

Unacknowledged

These are known problems that either were not directly noted by Epic, or were ignored.

Player's footsteps being fully silent. Please note that Visual Audio being disabled is intentional.

Edit Touchpad and Open Leaderboard being tied to the same button.

Sprinting will sometimes bug out and stops working.

Players being able to spawn in the same Box.

UI overlaps.

The Rank-Up Animation will sometimes not play correctly.

That's all for now. Until next time.

Your "Guide" to Boxfights Arena

What is up. I'm the Man with the Plan Dogman and this is your "guide" to Boxfights Arena.

The Rundown

In Boxfights Arena, 16 players (Or 8 teams of 2) go head to head in, well, Boxfights.

You, and another team, will randomly be selected to fight against each other. All players get 500 Wood and a random loadout and then it's off to the races. Run, fight, build, hide, do whatever you can to survive and win.

The arenas are randomly generated. So each round will have a different layout from the last. Every time you win, you earn a point. The first to 20 wins.

Visual Audio is turned off in this mode. So you may want to stay away if your audio impaired.

There are a bunch of quests you can complete for XP. You can also win 2 free rewards by winning 125 Rounds and 300 Rounds.

Now that the rundown is done, here is every bug I encountered during my playthrough:

The Bugs

  • Boxfights is nowhere to be found on the menu. Even if you search for it in the menu, it won’t show up. The only way to get onto it is by clicking on the news tab or by joining a friend. 
  • There is no causal que and you're forced to play Ranked. Granted this may be due to a bug (There is a message in the lobby), however this is still pretty insulting considering the mode, ON LAUNCH, is having major issues like this.
  • Before playing even a single game it showed I already had a rank. Not even in the game and I had encountered 2 bugs. 
  • Long ass load times and the Opening cutscene sometimes won't play.
  • In the game, it shows my Rank as my BR one. This is the incorrect rank.
  • Games just don't start or will take forever to start.
  • Games can have 16 people AND STILL NOT START. 
  • I spawned in this weird glitched out state when entering into another match. I couldn’t move, my camera was locked, and I couldn’t see my character at all.
  • SBMM is either broken or does not work at all.
  • Inventory will be "reset" over and over. Hope you don't like having your inventory in a very specific way as you will keep on having it reset to "default".
  • The Ready up button does not work.
  • The Rank up animation sometimes does not play and will just be a white screen. 
  • When returning to the lobby, my Rank did not save and still shows as how it was before I went into the match. Even after leaving the mode and re-entering it still shows the incorrect rank.

Out of 5 games, I only had 2 of them start. And keep in mind that list is ONLY the glitches, not the other multiple non-glitch problems this mode has OR the dozens of other glitches other players have encountered such as:

  • Players being able to spawn in the SAME FUCKING BOX.
  • UI overlappings
  • The Leaderboard button being unchangeable and, oh yeah, BEING ON THE SAME BUTTON AS EDITING BUILDS.

I have nothing else to say. This mode is a shitshow and a complete disappointment by Epic. The state it released in was horrible and clearly needed more time in the oven. There is no reason to play this buggy mess over more well made creative maps that are the same thing.

That's all for now. Until next time.

Ho- How?

So, apparently I already have a rank despite never playing the mode.

I have no faith that this mode is going to be good considering the fact I haven't even gotten into a game yet and it's already bugging out.
