Apparently they build straight through poo poo too. Plop one down in a house and you have a pretty sturdy little base.

Is Fortnite down on PS4? Just patched and for the last 20 min it just queues for like 10 min then fails to log in.

Lots of stuff down at the moment it seems, namely logins and matchmaking. You can check https://status.epicgames.com/ in the future if you wanna see if it is on Epic's end.

Great. I had saved up enough to get some decent PvE stuff that's going to disappear in an hour and a half.

I’m getting increasingly frustrated at this game. Not just the fact that it’s all my friends want to play anymore but when I do play with them they blame me for every loss! And now the sheer popularity of it inhibiting my ability to have fun playing this game with these long rear end wait queues to get into either game mode. Is there something I’m not getting about squad mode because everyone keeps telling me I’m not a good enough team player. I know I’m a better player than them because I’ve actually won solo games but that is just helping their argument of “oh your just thinking like a solo player”.

Perhaps you should tell your teammates "Your just bad", not "you're just bad", but "your just bad", to really underline the fact that they are just bad.

Maybe it's because you aren't a team player and are a loot whore to boot? But what do I know, I've only sat in PSN chat and listened to people try to nicely talk to you about it a billion times.

I mean, you were on here kinda passively aggressively bitching about my friends, so I just wanted to set the record straight. People have tried to address it with you on multiple occasions and instead of actually working to maybe fix some of it you come here to post about how mean people are? It's an issue that's going to continually bite you in the rear end until you actually do something about it.

According to epic's site it's just the login servers and some of the squad/matchmaking stuff so if you're already logged in or get into matches you're probably fine.

Are there any decent fortnite youtubers that don't view pausing to take a breath during a video as a faux pas? Everyone seems to have that talk constantly and talk aggressively aesthetic going on. I just want someone chill and entertaining.
