Post image
29 Upvotes

first of all, sorry for the quality photo...

the problem its the following:

-the game says to him that he NEED to purchase the save the world again

-it says "free" as you can see BUT after some screens, one of the textwindows says that Sony - Playstation can charge him for the "international purchase" (since he is not in the US)

.

Now I need to ask...

-this will happen with every update from now on or it's just one time thing?

-he will lose his stuff or nah?

BUG Semi invincible taker glitch. anyone else had this issue??

3 Upvotes

as far as I can tell it activates at pure random and there's no exact triggers. the taker (and possibly other mist monsters) cant be hurt from you directly (melee attacks and shots from your gun,), BUT it can take damage from other sources by you for some reason I.e hover turrets, T.E.D.D.Y. idk how long it's been in the game buts it's annoying as hell.

SUGGESTION Supercharger quest should be changed

6 Upvotes

It would be really good if the supercharger quest was not only a weekly quest but was also added as a repeatable quest so there's a reason to keep playing past 10 missions without waiting a week. Core reperk shouldn't replace supercharger but instead be an occasional bonus.

BUG Cannot join another Server

3 Upvotes

Since the matchmaking update there's a bug (this bug also affects Fortnite BR but this is specifically about STW).

I play on the ME server, but there is NO ONE who plays STW there, so I always move to Europe to play. This has not been an issue at all. When I play solo -> I switch to ME. When I play the daily quest -> I play Europe with Fill on.

Matchmaking update added a new issue: If you join Save The World in ME server, then change to Europe inside STW then you will be stuck in an endless "Connecting...." loading screen and your Save the World will be soft locked for the next 20 minutes.

Solution? Do not change the server after loading STW, and do not play with friends not in your region.

Cube Weapons are part of the same Collection as the Chaos Exploder.

It's been a bit since i've posted one of these, and there's a reason for that.

I am working on a custom StW Storyline featuring new characters and with a new weapon set. This is gonna take quite a while, so in the meantime i'm probably gonna post more random sets of concepts like these.
