Yeah totally, I'm often stuck on a series of misaligned surfaces trying to figure out the best route and left playing catch up

Huh- I saw yesterday that the big chest under the big magma hand had a health bar, but I hadn’t twigged that it was being chipped away by players attacking it. The big reveal was a bit underwhelming but it’s still fun when they do stuff like that. www.eurogamer.net/fortnites-giant-hand-event-was-a-return-to-the-games-uniqueness-of-oldSide note- I had no less than 3 autoplay videos fill my screen while scrolling that article… BAD Eurogamer, BAD Reedpop, No! (Whacks website with rolled up newspaper)

It's nice when those kind of things happen, although I almost always miss them.
The problem with having a global game is that it's very hard to do something when everyone is awake. The last few end-of-season live events were about 4am or 5am here. Though they have recently allowed you to redo one or two of them later, which was nice.

I haven't managed to get in to the last two events. Both times the servers were getting battered and there was a 2 hour queue. I suppose the demand is huge but its not exactly a surprise to Epic.
Last one I managed was the one with the stomping Mecha Bear thing.

No idea. *shrug* The only way to know about these things is usually to get the info 2nd hand off youtube. They haven't announced any specific times though, right? So I'm guessing nothing major.
I went back from Gold 1 to Silver 1 in Rocket Racing and dammit, Silver 1 is so easy by comparison. I guess that means I've improved because I don't remember it being that easy at the time.

Early impressions now that I can get into the new season this morning: Very very mild weapon and power - New powers seem cool, but the wings can be annoying when you’re up against them - DMRs are back! - New Gatekeeper shotgun is very powerful, especially upgraded with drum mag (it only has 3 shots as standard) - It’s good that they’ve added a “Random” option to cycle between character presets… but it’s still bonkers that you can’t associate wraps or emotes with a character unless you switch off random and do it manually.

Had a quick run around the new bits of the map, really love the theme

Yeah I like the theme too, the character skins are miles better than last season.

Not had a chance to play the new season yet. The new battlepass has some pretty cool skins. Is this the first time the entire battlepass has had a single theme? They usually throw in at least one modern or anime or collab skin, no matter the season theme.
Anyone noticed they're now selling blueprints for Lego buildings in the shop? Like 1800 vbux for a building.
Having defended Fortnite against claims of nickel-and-dimeing and trying to exploit kids out of their cash, this seems worse for some reason.

(Really bloody wish the Epic launcher on PC had an easy way to swap accounts, rather than having to log out and log in each time!)

this is what windows logons are for surely? Each user has their own settings and you can quick switch between them.

Can't remember if I asked this already, but anyone want to get some games on Xbox? It's hard to get games in with my regular group because we're all adults adulting.

I haven't touched the game in about two months now. It was more fun playing with friends, but since they decided to stop playing, I haven't been as motivated. Might load it up every now and then, but I think an uninstall might be in the near future.

Rarity in the shop is kind of meaningless though. I've bought stuff of different rarities for the same price.
It might help with locker sorting, but it sounds like you need better sorting options or filters rather than rely on some arbitrary system.

I've played almost nothing this season. Maybe just fatigue combined with being busy recently. The season itself looks pretty good, with all the Avatar stuff.
But I never understood the 'rarity' on store items. It seemed entirely artificial and meaningless.

I like the new speed run mode in rocket racing. Kind of like Trackmania, quick restart, very short track, compete against the best ghost of whoever’s in 1st. I’m rusty and only getting 4th or 5th place while I learn the tracks, but I can see it being quite addictive.
