Epic claims they monitor for macros and it is a bannable offense. :shrug:

Bad girls think that you're being a boob punch

Epic's official stance on macros, as of December 2020:

quote:

Any and all macros in Fortnite are forms of cheating. Simply put, a macro key is a single-press action that performs a sequence of key or button actions at once. We will continue to issue bans to players we catch using macros.

Speaking of anticheat, today I found out that Fortnite can use Easy Anti Cheat or Battle Eye depending on your system configuration. If I understand correctly, if you have virtualization enabled in your bios, it will use Battle Eye.

Not sure if there is a performance benefit either way, though.

My installation randomly switched to using Battle Eye(which I had previously not even heard of) with one of the recent patches, I definitely didn't make any BIOS changes but maybe there was a Windows Update? I don't know. Either way practically speaking it means I can now launch Apex faster after closing Fortnite because I don't get a weird error about a mismatched EAC version already running, which was an annoying thing that happened a lot since Fortnite takes like a full minute to close it's own process after it seems like the game has closed.

When I started playing with my 10yo, I was surprised there was a story at all, and I'm amazed that it's more coherent than most game series.

Chapter 2 when jonesy turns against his agency he begins hoping realities and grabbing warriors to fight in the war. Master chief comes from that. Laroi would just be someone who feel I to the fortnite reality.

It is all explained in the video essay. Very simple.

So it felt like that was super in depth story telling for UP TO the Chrome situation, ( Where I really started ) and since then there wasn't anything but this rift...

Anyone have a primer for the battle with the Chrome and the explosion we're dealing with now?

They should vault the basic assault rifle. Even the orange variant sucks. Outclassed in every way by the tac pistol.

It looks nice on the golden Doomguy, worth it.

Yeah I wish they'd find a way to integrate that in to the actual game instead of having it on some weird website you have to somehow know about.

i'm pretty sure they just made up that there was a story recently. or at least they had no idea what the story was going to be until recently. they just did a bunch of cool stuff and then went...ooooh but it's aalllll tied together as master chief, doom guy, and kratos all touch down to fight to the death against a lifeguard wearing shorts and no shoes.

They had a bit of a story in chapter 1, but it started to become more coherent and tied together in Chapter 2. This was 4 years ago.

Hammers and deku smash is such a broken combo. I loved running around with nothing but hammers, dekus and Kamehameha.

Also, the witcher quest is completely borked, I barely managed to complete the first tree for the sword and after an hour it dumped me all the rewards for the other trees I didn't complete... I mean, good but...?

There is no big finale as far as anyone knows. Unless something happens in game we are just waiting for downtime to begin March 10th at 2am Easten.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

I was hoping to get lvl 200 this season but my internet has been extremely temperamental these last few weeks and I lost some valuable shootin’ time.

Huh? What?




Yeah I haven't played this season as much as the past few, partly just due to trying to avoid burnout but also just because there was a lot more downtime between stuff happening :v: Still managed to hit 200, get all the important stuff from the llama quests, etc

I get to the final 1v1 surprisingly often and then I always panic and fumble switching weapons. Most of my wins is me being stealthy and getting the drop on my opponent.
