Wasn't it supposed to be activated in Brazil right now?

Looking into this - I think we have an issue keeping Duos off in Brazil and we're working to resolve. Sorry :(

This should be fixed very shortly I believe and will update ASAP.

EDIT: This is resolved now. Sorry again for the delay here. Have fun!

Hey friends,

Sorry for lack of heads up on this, but final plans got solidified and executed late last night. We didn't want to announce this as incoming until we were 100% sure it all worked as expected. Basically, Duos should now be available in OCE, ASIA, and Brazil server regions during their respective "peak hours". Each region has a slightly different overall curve from peak to offpeak due to geo/timezones and such, so that total available time range might look a little bit different from region to region.

We will be keeping an eye on this and tweaking as needed. Ideally, we want to keep expanding the time range that Duos is available.

Here are the time ranges per region where duos should currently be available:

  • Oceania 12:00 AM - 7:30 AM EST // 5:00 AM - 12:30 PM UTC
  • Asia 3:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST // 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM UTC
  • Brazil 9:00 AM - 12:00 AM EST // 2:00 PM - 5:00 AM UTC

Thank...

Hey, question! Why doesn't the game properly support retina Macs? The game runs at 1x instead of 2x, so it's less than 1080p on my 15" MacBook Pro.

I honestly don't have the answer to that, sorry. I only commented on this particular post as I was the one who created the smoke bomb originally.

Yup & sorry, this was just fixed yesterday and will be included in 1.10 (along with other smoke bomb problems, such as popping if 2 smoke bombs overlap and you walk into one directly from another).

Playing With Friends


Duos and Squads are best when you can play with friends! We realize that our existing social features make it hard to make and/or find friends. We are working on making it easier to play again with people you had a great game with, make new friends, and import your friends lists from other social networks.

Certain regions don’t have the Duos playlist (we hear you Oceania!) and we continue to monitor population per platform and region. We are working on a system that is going to allow us to schedule Duos during popular hours so we can offer the mode while maintaining a good experience.

Team Killing


We dropped the ball on addressing team killing. We take action based on player reports, but the system isn’t straightforward to use, and doesn’t let you know whether we took action or not. This needs improvement. Last week we started casting a wider net to catch current and past team killers and issued numerous warning...

Fortnite has grown quick, fast and in a hurry! We’re humbled and happy to welcome so many of you into Fortnite. The community started as a tiny seed of online testers, now with your help it has blossomed into so much more. You’ve had lots of great suggestions and feedback about Fortnite and we’re listening! 

Here’s what you’re saying about RNG:
 

"Everything is RNG gated including heroes you can play. When you finally do get something decent, RNG determines the bonus stats as well. So you have RNG (llamas) upon RNG (loot from llamas) upon RNG (bonus/random stats on loot)" - /u/Dustin1280


We are delivering features that ease that feeling and increase your reward choices. We've added more quests, more storm rewards for evolution ingredients and more activities that easily allow you to get what you want. And guess what, we want to do more!

Here’s what you can expect soon:

you had to have a minimum of 10 games to be sent, so it should have summed them all, though obviously something must have gone wrong :) Though as a side note, these stats were compiled about 2 weeks ago, so they don't have stats more recent than that included if you just started playing right before the cut off?

Heya folks,

We have a brand new feature for NVIDIA owners coming in that will allow you to quickly share those hype Fortnite Battle Royale Plays. 

Introducing, ShadowPlay Highlights from NVIDIA! No longer will your friends have to “take your word” when you tell them about that mountain sliding snipe headshot. ShadowPlay will save plays automatically by default. You are also able to manually configure which plays get saved to customize it to fit your style.

Auto-Saved Plays:
  • Double, Triple and Multi Kills
  • Win or a Death
Following a match the end game screen will have a ShadowPlay Highlights button allowing you to directly access your plays from the previous game.  ShadowPlay_Victory.jpg You can also find this button located in the Pre-Lobby screen, where you can v... Read more

I don't believe I opted out, but I never confirmed my email when I created the epic account. Will I ever get one of these if I confirmed it now?

Yes as long as you didn't opt out, the email doesn't need to be verified. I checked this morning and they are still being sent out in batches, so it should show up eventually!

Do I have to have some sort of "Send me emails and newsletters" thing checked? Edit: Found the resubscription thing Didn't get it yet, guess I'll die

If we have your email on file and you haven't opted out, you should get one. If you opted out of emails when you made your account, you probably wouldn't get one. I'm 95% sure :) The company we use to send the emails handles that for us.

Probably not this round, we generated all the lists and data last week. But we plan one continuing this and getting more interesting stats in! So there will be more in the future!

If you played at least 10 games you should get one. There were a lot to send, so they may still be going out :)
