Phenominall video A1! this was both nostalgic and a shock trip for me! I NEVER even knew we had race beta mission! I remember the skill tree very well because I introduced my friend to STW and he looked at the skill tree whilst we were in a call and he was like "WTF IS THIS???" ahahah! Edit: Transforms should have never been removed, a great way to use up duplicates etc :c

I remember most of these, the blaster upgrade was definitely for the better, they actually look like mist monsters now, I don't really miss these much, while I do get some nostalgia for old stw, I very much prefer the way it is today, cannot fathom playing without the QOL stuff we have now.

They also got decently nerfed when they got redesigned, and honestly thank god.

Here are some of the things that were changed: 1. Remember when abilities costed energy and sprinting used the same energy? So you could either sprint or use abilities, but not both. 2. Also when you were knocked down (DBNO) you could not crawn around initially, so your team mates always had to go to you. 3. Ceiling electric field only activated from 1 tile up. Tire traps were also changed, when they introduced Havok physics. They were quite useless before. Gas traps applied a DOT (damage over time) which you could stack using multiple traps. Now they only get damaged while they are under the trap, but supposedly it also takes care of bees. 4. Propane husks did not self detonate when they reached 1/3 health. This was changed around the time sound walls were introduced, which forces them to drop their propane. Propane didn't disappear after the husks died, so we had to clean up the trap tunnels on longer missions, like SSDs. 5. Some traps used to detonate propane. They did a lot of back and forth before removing this. 6. We were not able to change the perks on traps and weapons initially. This was changed during the first Blockbuster event. 7. We could not craft weapons and traps on lower tiers, so we had to have multiple of the same weapons and traps levelled up. 8. We could not bulk craft traps. 9. We didn't get full materials back when recycling traps. 10. We weren't able to destroy building in a single hit in our SSD and get our materials refunded. 11. Building status was not saved at the beginning of SSDs so if husks destroyed something, it stayed destroyed. Traps durability also did not recharge, so we had a lot of half used traps in our SSDs. 12. We were able to use floor launchers to launch husks into the air and forcing them to take fall damage. This was changed after this was exploited heavily in Frostnite. Now Smashers only get staggered by launchers. 13a. The ultimate edition had an unlimited epic (purple) survivor transform that was twice as efficient as rare (blue) survivors regarding the amount of training manuals earned. It also used people cards which you could earn by rescuing survivors. 13b. The amount of manuals we got were increased to compensate for the removal of transforms. Commons (grey) didn't use to give any training manuals before. You had to transform them to uncommons (green) to get any manuals from them. 14. Super Deluxe used to have 1 friend code, Limited Edition had 2 and Ultimate Edition had 4 friend codes. They replaced them with Troll stash llamas if you bough the pack after the change. If you bought it before the change, you could still keep the codes. I think if you have the codes, but didn't retrieve them the game will not let you get them anymore. Or at least that's what I've heard from people on Reddit. But if you have the code retrieved, you can still activate them. 15. Packs were automatically upgraded to one pack higher (Standard > Deluxe > Super Deluxe > Limited > Ultimate). Ultimate owners got 8000 vbucks and the Metal Team Leader pack. 16. You could earn exclusive one among many banners from a Twitch promotion. Sadly this promotion is no longer active. These are some of the changes I can remember from the top of my head.

17. Anti Material Charge had a redesign, whereas instead of being used via holding your pickaxe, it had to be used as an actual ability 18. (Don't quote me on the date) around Summer 2018, Ragnarok and Storm Enforcer released; they introduced both Seismic Smash and Kunai Storm as the newest abilities to the game 19. Flingers used to be resistant to ranged weapons and were only killed concisely with melees. However, now they can be killed by just about anything

Looks like most of us agree that mantling, crouching, sprinting and Ventures were all good quality-of-life additions to the game. I could do without the wildlife, though. If you ever reach PL130, Ventures becomes something that you may appreciate at that time.

One gameplay mechanic that was thankfully changed was the way dmg used to work for flingers. Ranged dmg was significantly reduced. Im not sure if melee weapons had a dmg multiplier but it was one of the best way to take care of them. Outlanders were able to hold down an anti material charge (which use to be an ability). The pickaxe also had a heavy attack which wasnt all too great.

What a nostalgia trip. Some of these things I barely had any recollection of or had completely forgotten about. Thanks for refreshing my memory. Idk if this is mentioned in the video but I miss the old retrieve the data where the storm wouldn't close in. I think it got replaced in like 2019. Surprised they kept it that way since.

Fortnite is such an interesting game. The way it overwhelms you with this feeling of nostalgia needs to be explained.

Wow, I had forgotten most of that. I liked most of those old game modes, I wish they’d bring back the race and the one with the trucks. The mode where each player builds a base and you defend them in turns was hell with randos. A lot of people wouldn’t build anything and then you’d all fail.

Another thing about the founders edition was if you bought the deluxe edition you would get 1 code to send to a friend to get StW & the ultimate edition would give you 2 codes. If you were a founder you would get a lot of messages from random people asking for the code.

Touching on some of this: - Challenge the Horde also had a version that that was just grassy. That was the one I remember the most. It may have been dependent on progression, but don't quote me on that. - There were two different Survive the Storm events. The winter one (Survive the Holidays) did have snow in much the same way that current Frostnite maps do. You've actually got a video with gameplay of that up on your channel.

The patrol ward never worked.

lol same here. I was trying to purchase it, but couldn’t find a code anywhere. I was so damn happy when they gave me ultimate 😂

A real walk down memory lane here! Thanks A1, I forgot a lot of these existed. What a time this game has given us! Watching a friend play and being an RPG nerd when I saw that skill tree I was in 😂

Survive the storm sounds really fun! It would be cool to have a day night cycle mission where you're not building to defend an object but instead you're building a fort to keep yourself safe! I feel like constantly having to refill the frost night burner with blue glow definitely took a lot of away from the mode.

I remember most of that.. except the last two parts (the challenge the horde and other thing).. but I was JUST thinking about the Race Track type mission a couple days ago. A friend of mine and I used to love that one. We'd raze a level to the ground then build special jumps and catch walls. And if you Anti Material'd into the launch pads it would send you SUPER flying

I swear there was a modifier called embiggend husks or something. All I remember about it is that regular husks were larger than normal

Gosh this was a blast from the past. I haven't played in probably a year or more but I remember it all like it was yesterday

The original Repair the Shelter bots weren't bots. They were transparent floating diamonds full of crafting materials including nuts and bolts. Because nuts and bolts were difficult to get people would do the start of this mission just to collect the materials then leave it to start again. I miss those diamonds!

I remember being able to glitch the end screen to where I had my character (often Shuriken Master Sarah) be able to move in it and do abilities. That was so much fun. Hearing her say, "way to go" while throwing down a smoke bomb, followed by a dragon slash was great fun for me and others. Epic eventually removed this, which I thought was sad, because it was a glitch that harmed no one, but made the end screen worth waiting for.

Man that racing mission was so much fun. Sad it never returned; would be really fun with the new parkour system we have.

Awesome video! I didn't play for most of this, but was interesting to watch. I do wish they'd bring some sort of legacy not founder pack, if nothing else with schematic slots, backpack slots, hero loadout, or even an extra expedition vehicle or other hard limit areas. Thanks!

Hi, I really liked the game 'test the limits'. It was very fun to play, and I'm very disappointed that they removed this game mode !

Yep, same thing.

I miss the old menu music for STW. It was a more eerie and slower version of the games' main theme. I think it fit the ambience way better than the current. Also if I remember correctly, soldiers could throw grenades much further. Idk why they nerfed it

I knew the Patrol Ward was missing since I came back I was always thinking something is missing but didnt know what that Trap was so rarely used since not a lot of people knew how to use it and why so I think thats the reason they replaced it. Also remember when no one wanted to make a trap base for SSDs since they would get Destroyed and waste the traps if you failed at the SSD..(now they replenish..) Such a good video!

I still kinda wish epic could have left the upgrade packs for the founders after the change.

it felt nice to remember the old STW, and the 2x2 retrieve the data would have me building only half of my 1x1 box lol

Other things we probably will never see again are the original Valentine's Day and Holiday Story Events. (The one where we met Crackshot for the first time, and where Jonesy and Sarah fell in love due to the Anti-Love Potion)

I miss a lot of old stw things, I played a lot of stw, since it's launch and I'm sad to see it the way it is today

I love these kinds of videos. Save the World was such a different game back in the day. Crazy to me that Epic is sitting on all this old content that they could reuse.

I miss Lost In Transit. Also I notice the damage you would take would have a negative symbol next to it, now it no longers does, could that be another accidental change?

great trip down memory lane had forgotten a few of these as well. Would be good to have Survive the storm and challenge the horde og back perhaps in a seperate biom like dungeons and add frostnite seasonaly.

The 2 I don't remember was the original Frostnite and the purple Nature Husk's.

Damn…the things I’ve missed. I’ve started to playing ‘Save The World’ around late late September 2018 / beginning October 2018 (i.e, late Chapter 1 Season 5 / beginning Chapter 1 Season 6), I believe that was the time around which the ‘Skill Tree’ was removed. But looking back at all of this, it really shows how much ‘Save The World’ changed.

I thought survive the storm was really cool and actually made you and your team build super massive forts in order to survive all 14 days. It also made you have to basically scavenge majority of the map for enough resources to last all 14 days. Also the fact that they actually put the meaning of the games title into use as a game mode. (An actual fortnight is a period of 14 days/2 weeks). Also wanna give an honorable mention to the first fortnightmares event, where you could earn Grave Digger as a reward for beating the event. The maps would also spawn hidden crypts and catacombs under some of the buildings and also had unique POIs.

I remember getting into STW back In 2018 during Season 5 and I remember the skill tree being quite the grind to get through but I do sorta miss it.

I genuinely have zero recollection of lost in transit

Old clips make me nostalgic, I missed when they cared for this game! Hopefully the new creative director will fix stw? Unless he only does battle royale.

honestly kinda glad i was spoiled when i was younger. if i wasnt i wouldnt have bought the ultimate founders pack and have the drumroll/nocturno schematic (which would make my acc valuable) but also just convenient to have bc they are very good weapons

Sooooo much nostalgia... Thanks for the beautiful memories you just gave me :)

I remember playing the fortnight survive the storm mission the first week I got the game, and while it may have been 4 real hours, I had almost more fun than I ever had playing a game (at least for that long), and it got me hooked on Save The World. I never took off the banner I got for completing it, and I rocked the hydra until twine peaks basically lol.

Yes, Transform keys, i asked myself the question last time where the transform keys have been used for and where we could get them, nice vid!

11:05 Challenge the Horde, my beloved. I played it in c1s5 and wasn't very high up in STW yet so I was only able to unlock less than half of the things in CTH. I've been waiting years for that to come back out. I had a lot of hope for it earlier this year, but then that turned out to be Survive the Horde, which was fun... but completely unrelated to CTH. I have a small amount of hopium that maybe it'll show up again next season with BR's time travel stunts, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't.

The Survive the Storm mode seems like it was the original idea behind Save the World, because that's what we see in that first ever teaser for the game back in 2011.

I miss when smashers took fall damage

as someone who played during all of these removed features. gotta say i loved every moment. wish it was still being developed.

The skills tree was a giant pain and it took years to max out!

Something that i remember that was also removed is the extended storyline quests thing

I think I remember there being like this heavy attack you could do with your pick axe that would use energy and outlanders just had a upgraded version on the heavy attack. Idk when they removed it but i was wondering where it went when I returned from my break from fortnite

As an early founder i never heard of the patrol ward. I just rewatched it, but don’t recall ever seen or had this trap. Glitch in the matrix for me i guess 😜👍

I remember if you applied team mate boosts in a mission you would lag the player out There used to be a modifier that if you were in the storm taking damage everyone in the mission also took damage

I miss the Beta Storms so much lmao, We finally got new missions for once instead of the boring one's we've had for years.

Omg I was basically a baby when I started this mode (C1S5). Still mad I didn’t finish that battle pass. But on I different note I do remember most of these but the main thing I miss is the old blaster he was so cool

I FORGOT ABOUT CHALLENGE THE HORDE, last one i remember playing was in season 5 chapter 1 when it was desert themed, they really gotta start adding stuff like that back

STW is so underrated, i wish that epic recognized this game more, since it was their original idea and it still has potential. But shit didnt get promoted enough.

Epic, if you are reading this.

It would make the game a bit more enjoyable to play after all these years.
