No, but I should. I only recently did a quick Amazon search, and found some complaints that the ps4 headset receiver would get interference :(

Probably cheap hubs tho.. I'm open for recommendations! I got a lot of Amazon gift cards leftover from the holidays

Agreed on that emote. Love the dance/music. I'll add you when I get home tonight. Bummed I can't play with Johnny Truant though. That PS4 lock out is so aggravating.

Wouldn't using a XIM for mouse and keyboard, along with the autoaim really help out? I have no idea about these things :shrug:

XIM is kind of cheating because you get most of the advantage of KB+M and you also get autoaim because the console sees the XIM as a dualshock

Straight KB+M on PC and PS4 does not give you autoaim

That being said I have really big stick extensions on my Switch and it helps a ton

Xim isn't a perfect 1:1 ratio of mouse/analog movement. Most console games don't give you the option to turn off aim assist, so the smart translators are made with this in mind. I tried turning off aim assist, but it loving blows. Probably to do with accelerated ramping...?

I dunno, these conversations tend to upset people so I'll just let people make their own decisions.

Yesssssss, got The Visitor skin, now all I need is the Shooting Star contrail(I'm only 1 level away from it :bubblewoop:) and I can be happy with this season.

Still gonna try for the Groove Jam, but you can purchase that one, can't you?

You can buy battle pass tiers with V-Bucks but skins and emotes in the Battle Pass aren't sold on their own in the store, no.

I'm really excited for the new season in general. This was the first time I've played all the to tier 100 and I finally feel like I'm starting to really get the hang of things. Still cant win a build fight for poo poo, but maybe once I reprogram my brain to play builder pro. Weirdly it's the swapping of inventory and map buttons that were giving me hell with that one. I apparently check the map a ton while running, and I'm constantly opening the inventory by accident hitting dpad up.

To be fair, StW got their new biome announced 2 months ago. It's only logical that they'd use it in BR as well.

Desert areas can be hard on the eyes, too much light. I prefer green maps. I think they say no to a second map, so I don't think we will get a desert map. More like a mix of biomes in the same map.

Their FAQ (which hasn't been updated in ages) says they have plans for additional BR maps but want to concentrate on adding more points of interest to the main map first. Don't know if that's still the plan

They just have to make it bright yellow and jolly, with cartoonish dunes and oases and it'll be perfectly fine. No need to make it like PUBG's map, colour of which is most aptly described as "3 hours ago vomited out carrot smoothie".

Yeah I like the lush colorful map of Fortnite. Desert maps are all basically “desaturated Quake 1”, which is a terrible aesthetic.

If they do a desert map, I want them to do it like Mario Odyssey did it

There is an anchor that appeared somewhere on the map a day or so ago and a Olde Times Carriage Car that's supposed to pop up soonish too. A lot of the early assets are mostly purple, brown and a lot of yellows for the beach or desert areas

(ignore the big black buildings, PvE only stuff)

This is what you could generally expect aesthetics wise, if they were to go with a desert biome (maybe only part of the map, like 1/3 or 1/4?).

I think it looks amazing, I'm incredibly light sensitive and I don't really get bothered by it. Then again you're not really often in this area in PvE. Probably 10 hours at most for me, total.

Edit: the third one is my own, I've hacked away all the plants for vision already there (can't reset this map). You'd see them like in picture 1/2.

It would definitely need a lot more plants/trees though, I hate the desert map in PUBG and it's almost all because of lack of cover. Which doesn't matter as much in Fortnite, but it'd still look way too empty otherwise.

Thanks for grabbing these - Worth showing that there is a desert biome in the works!
I expect they're going to release it with the big Canny Valley update - probably tying it all in with the new BR season/map and all else.

There's no saying they cant transition to more vegetated areas - oases, river valleys, plains and pastures - it's an aesthetic they can play with. From the Canny Storm Shield area, they already have the makings of a nice run-down mining-towns and derelict farms that would be delightful, especially if they aren't afraid of making more vertical and convoluted play areas (like Shifty Shafts but more pronounced).

Maybe delete it and redownload it? Reboot your switch first though, sometimes games have wonky things that get fixed with a reboot.

I did a quick Google and there are definitely others affected by this error since the update but I can't find people saying what fixed it!

Update: I unlinked my epic account from my switch and made a new epic account and thats working fine, so there must have been an issue with my epic account?

Yeah and there was somebody who presumably worked for Epic there dressed as a secret agent handing out business cards with a number to call that leads to another encrypted audio message, and that's as far as th subreddit boys have gotten right now. There's a thread stickied at the top of R/FortniteBR/ if you want to follow along

It's been a good first season for me. Learned about the game and went crazy watching streams just as the season released. With E3 and the switch announcement I got in game and had a blast. Poopsocked it to level 71 / battle pass 100--no lights for my omega but I can't complain with the limited play time. Also I got tomatohead, noir detective and some silly emotes like eagle and true heart, so that's fun.

I can't wait to get in on opening day for the new season / battlepass. Definitely going to earn the last tier equipment this time.

Nice to not have the turret be all you need for defense again too. I’ve really started enjoying making trap tunnels that grind mobs out and push out the big ones that need an extra pass or two.

Welcome to Twine. FYI, people don't build a lot here once you get out of the CV extension zone. I haven't seen people build traps outside of 4-player maps in weeks. :v:
