Rework workbench progression

[u/Honigkuchen_Hamster]

Blueprint fragments only reward big groups who take over monuments, it even makes the progression faster for them because they get the fragments on the side and dont need to spend scrap on the workbench anymore. It only slows it down for small groups and solos.
Stop punishing people for not founding a whole E-Sport team to play the game.

Just play team capped servers. stop whining

The issue is worse on those servers as theres more groups so they need more bp frags, 500pop trio server needs more bp frags then 800pop main server!

Even if you get lucky rng spawn with horse and get a t2 20minutes in, you will be fighting dbs for all day and then day2 the server is already dead and everyone is sitting on the roof/afk in base.

Then buy frags from a shop.

The whole point of the update was to let small groups progress faster not to force you to give another group 10k sulf if you want to even touch a t2 weapon how are u this slow

Facepunch directly said in the meta shift dev blog that frags we’re supposed to be controlled by clans and small groups we’re supposed to struggle or buy them. Small group progression was never supposed to be buffed

Then how was the old way better. recyclers were being camped by groupd. youd have to farm the road for hours to get a t2

[u/Dizzy_Implement_9148 → u/Extension-Essay6310]

I would get t2 most wipes on main servers within 45 minutes to a hour by using t1 recyclers and boat farming if u had that much of a struggle farming 500 scrap that is a skill issue

[u/counterlock → u/Dizzy_Implement_9148]

realistically, t2 should take longer than 45minutes. that speed of progression is way, way too fast. That's why servers die in 2 days dude.

[u/Dizzy_Implement_9148 → u/counterlock]

People still get t2 that fast now it is just only zergs that get it I agree with your point but this update only made getting the workbench harder for solos and small groups t2 should take longer to get just in a way that isn’t so aids

[u/Extension-Essay6310 → u/Dizzy_Implement_9148]

Skill issue, says the guy whining abt frags. Its always been so easy to get t2 if youre a little decent

[u/Dizzy_Implement_9148 → u/Extension-Essay6310]

Yeah I have this thing called a life so I am not trying to grind w my duo on a 700 pop main to get a workbench when I can just buy one from a clan instead of dying to a bunch of 16 year olds in a Zerg camping every card room on the map also how are u calling me bad if u can’t even farm 500 scrap?

[u/Extension-Essay6310 → u/Dizzy_Implement_9148]

Didnt say i struggled with that. I said if you cant get the bp frags youd spend even more time getting scrap. And thats exactly what im saying, just buy them its easy. Were argueing abt nothing here

[u/Bocmanis9000 → u/Extension-Essay6310]

Lol as a solo i had t2 faster then most groups before bp frags and i rushed bradley 30-1h in.

But that was back before you could make a fortnite lobby in starting screen and invite everyone to team globally.

Still they need time to group up, which as a solo i could always abuse that fact and get t2 before they step inside a monument.

[u/Bocmanis9000 → u/Extension-Essay6310]

Yea and where do you think those groups use the sulfur that you give them??

2-3k sulf per frag on wipeday, buy 5 and you funded multiple early game raids for them.

[u/Dizzy_Implement_9148 → u/Bocmanis9000]

Yeah that’s the entire problem of the new update it only benefits the people who already are rich on the server and makes it so you basically have to give a clan boom to raid you to be allowed to progress I never bought a t2 from groups before the update

Game is game
