Just my luck, servers are down.
And I say that sarcastically, since it's been up 99% of the time I've wanted to play.

Servers went down when I was at my Fort building it up - was in there for quite some time. Will my progress be saved?

Should be, of course always chance that you may lose a couple minutes of progress depending on how the servers went down but not much if at all.

It get difficult later on. You can even play some harder difficulty zones ahead of time from the map screen, or with party members who are ahead in quest progress.

There are periodic saves while working in your base.
Was it a low-level mission? It seems there's a point at which you're over-leveled and get no XP.

I probably could do with a break from farming materials to build my homebase with anyway. It's already so overdone for where I'm at in the story. There's something cathartic about stockpiling materials and building a ridiculously beefed-up base.

Probably not! I wish there was a trial mode where we could have zombies flood in to test defences before the real thing. I have multiple Amplifiers set up differently, so I'll see which one fairs best and reconfigure accordingly.

I really wish the community of this game would learn that building a really well fortified base littered with traps is pointless if you're gonna put staircases to the top on the outside of the building.
Agreed. Also, defending a Plankerton mission likely requires *some* traps. I've played too many missions lately where I'm the only one plunking down anything that isn't a wall. Traps aren't that expensive, you can use them outside of your own storm shield.
I just made a airport!!.
I made a elevated platform with jumpads for the rescue the shelter mission. Outlanders where using them to jump to random parts of the map
Was so succesful that I made another 2 around the map. So we would move around superfast.
Then the servers crashed

Yeah hopefully people pick up on that too soon. It's not too hard to pick a few that you can craft which don't eat into weapon resources. Like I can't make wall or floor traps without using vital parts, but I can craft a variety of ceiling traps with no qualms. Plus anything you can't craft efficiently through a lack of engrams you can just plonk down whatever you find scavenging instead of recycling it for mostly trash you throw away a round or two later.
Come to think of it do we have a Discord for this game? Would be way easier playing with GAF tbh.

So I've been playing this game on my PS4 Pro for a few days now and it's pretty fun. A little repetitive, but still fun because you can make crazy defenses if you want, or do something simple and just shoot em all down.
One thing I have noticed is that the textures don't seem to be loading correctly when I play. Happened 2 missions in a row for me just now.
Anyone else have this problem on PS4 Pro, and if so have you figured out what the cause could be?

I have the same problem. Unreal is a scalable engine and it self-downgrade if can't meet some framerate target.
At release all textures where normal, but now they all look murky. Apparently is not everyone, because other player tried to call my attention to something written in a wall that was unreadable to me.
Do you have boost mode activated? I don't.

GAF help!
So I've put in around 30 hours of game time into this, bought the founders pack at launch (Even checked my purchase history just in case I was going mad) and am around level 21 in the second area. Went to log in this morning and was met with this screen-
Who do I contact? Is this Microsoft or Epics issue?
Edit:fixed. Had to hard reset the Xbox. Phew!

I would try with Epic support, since seems a account problem. The game work correctly, psn work correctly, the console work correctly. Is a thing epic could solve but not others.
This worked! Managed to progress to shield mission 4 then the server went mental mid wave, infinite loading screen, turned it off for the day.
Pretty tough to do that in Plankerton. People are getting creative and doing pyramids and death tunnels, especially because there are two atlas's now. Gotta be more creative
I can't believe that you lose your pick axe upgrades from the second skill tree when you go back to Stonewood. Such bullshit honestly.
I was so excited to finally get mine only to lose it when going back to help some friends that are a little behind me.
There is no good reason to do this.

Basetools are much QOL things that's really needed.
Move placed buildings, change their material and so on

Added myself to the Discord. I'm always happy to jump into a group whenever I'm around.
Is a often asked feature, so maybe they will think about it.
hence Early Access, aka paying to test
I know, still pissed me off, this was nice though after that happened:
probably never gonna get so much out of a Llama again.

What Llama did that come out of? I'm just hoarding at the moment waiting for the right Llama
Just a regular one that turned gold. But apparently it's a jackpot Llama, so if I understand correctly it's an extra modifier on top of getting gold/silver/normal rarities.
I said god damn!

I'm really dreading Plankerton SSD4. I've used so many nuts n bolts just prepping the traps. The last one sucked anyway but this one looks like hell. I've basically no room to build any defences around 3 sides of the next base as the shield is right next to it :/
Ah nice haul for only 100 coins. I only do those ones on my PS4 but I'm usually lucky if I get an epic worth having lol.

How do you give your defender additional ammo?

Go to your inventory and select the ammo you require then choose to drop it near the defender.

God I hate Storm Shield Defense. Not only does it gate you from progression in the first place but to top it off chat is half broken today too so finding help is a damn nightmare.
Edit: Yeah I'm done for a bit. Spent most of my time with the game today either closing and reopening it in hopes of chat working or trying to recruit help only to see a guy with an easier SSD get them instead. They should really just remove this crap from the game or make it purely optional.

That Reaper Scythe looks great.

There is the official discord, I see plenty of people helping out there.
I solo'd my last couple of defense attempts. It's actually a lot more fun soloing since you can set up defenses that actually get used rather than just milling through every wave they throw at your instantly.
I usually do the "send for help option" and get some people too. I actually like it more when I don't get any though. Got 3 once and felt like all the preparation I did was for nothing.

Is there any way to turn off or mute voice chat in this on PS4? So far everyone who has been using their mic has only been super annoying by either constantly humming or heir mic is garbled nonsense.
