There's a 12 minute queue time to get into the main screen on xbone. Is this a rampant problem?

So Xbox is not allowing me to buy anything on Fortnight. Is there a reason for this? I've tried three credit cards and a PayPal account and I get virtually the same error message. I've put in a call to Microsoft support but, is this at all something that happens?

Best way to find a llama is to open your parachute above the desert biome and jus scan the ground for the purple colored llama stark against the orange/tan terrain.

You can literally only get Vader at Level 100 with how the content is gated in the battle pass, so spend the stars however you want, you’ll be guaranteed to have enough by the time you can unlock Vader. 5 stars per level.

Reality seeds are found wherever there’s a pink tree on the map, they’re usually located in little purple pods you can break open, where they come slowly flying down. some reality trees (the kinda fungusy looking ethereal trees) have fruit (usually at the top of the tree, color coded to item rarity) and sometimes those drop seeds as well.

Technically you could get him at 90 when the page unlocks if you saved up previous stars, right? But yeah, level 100 gets you enough to unlock everything on the pass

Nah cuz Vader is the “unlock everything else on this page first” guy

The Herald is tough rn because it’s the new hotness and lots of people with your exact same quest tryna do it at the same time. It’ll definitely get easier over time, the boss is not that difficult to actually kill. Shoot at them, kill the wolves, wait for spawn/teleport/shield to drop, shoot again

Something Fortnite does better than every other battle pass game, imo, is the constant drip feeding of poo poo to actually do? Even if it’s just getting kills with a weird gun, it gives a sense of accomplishment and progression even when you don’t win.

It’s not *much* better but you can get something like 600 vbucks from a package in the store that only costs like $4?

I think phones are locked to playing with other phones unless they get invited to a cross-platform party or dare to turn off platform matchmaking in the settings.

I've seen invites from PC players pop up on my phone, so I'm pretty sure they can play together.

My nephew (a 10 year old child) plays this on his iPad by streaming the Xbox Version of the game to his iPad. Sometimes while hot spotting off his mother’s phone.

I don’t really have a point here, I just think it’s the most arcane thing possible. Children will find a way if given the tech.

I ended up making my son's new xbox the home console for his mom's place. Then I went and made a new Epic account on my PC so I can play with him when he'd like to.

Well, we won our first game together. I can't quite explain what a nice feeling it is. Little dude is 8 years old. He's gotten wins before but this is the first game we played together on the same team. I don't think we'll ever forget this.



Heartwarming stuff, thanks for sharing. Whenever I win a game with my nephew it feels like the first time I’ve won again, it’s a great feeling.

Something about the way fortnite does their character models makes the dudes who are huge and badass (Thanos, Master Chief, Doomguy) look like they are getting *so into it* in the dances. It’s amazing.

It feels like a cracked window into their future monetization plans for the game. At least you can still pay for the 'mini battlepass' with Itchy and Scratchy bux, for now.

I don't play that much fartnite anymore but I do have a stack of about 2000 vbux to buy the pass if I'm playing when it comes out and I feel p. sure this is to target folks who sit on their vbux for passes.

Glad we're getting a map refresh this Friday. I'm really sick of this base game map. Dunno how the long-timers did it. Just real bad.

Give me variety already.

It’s something like, “we didn’t know what there could be, so this all felt like a lot.” It was fun at the time. Hell, it’s still fun now, they’ve just gotten us so used to things changing and being slightly bigger than they are this season. The biggest failing of this season, imo, was just absolutely no missions to do.

Yeah what’s the gun mod meta? Anyone have that nailed down yet? I generally go with what I think is useful, but there are clearly some very OP unintuitive builds happening.

I’ve been absolutely shredded in a fraction of a second by a gun that shouldn’t work like that

I think there’s a mod for guns called “Cover Fire” that equates to them making GBS threads bullets at like 2-3x the rate. It’s less accurate but if you’re close enough, it will shred. I got dropped in a fraction of a second by a guy with one.
