Yeah - I've also felt this way when I play at home. I'll speed it up, thanks!

Will do! The fix should apply to both platforms.

We want to improve previewing of the harvesting tools in the front end too, but it's a bit more complicated than the glider was, so I don't have an estimated build for you.

Good idea! We've already implemented this and it will be in a future build; it just took a bit longer than playing the deployment animation as the sound was handled differently.

Just wanted to drop in and let people know the change to placement XP in the Solo playlist was not intentional and the playlist data has been restored to the correct Solo placement schedule in a back end deployment earlier today.

As a bit of background, we've been working to make it easier to create and maintain LTMs, and when we switched over to the more data driven approach, the always-on Solo playlist (but not other solo LTMs) accidentally got pointed to the Squad placement XP schedule.

You'll get the same error message at tier 95 or above when trying to buy this bundle, since buying 5 or fewer tiers individually is cheaper than the discounted bundle.

Hahaha, I'm so sorry, I just came across them, I would've credited you if i knew. But you work for epic and get to work on awesome stuff like this, and that's by far cooler than karma. Loving the game and all the stuff you guys add to it!

No problem. Just messing with you! I got my internet points on Twitter today.

This video is incredible. Definitely appreciate your passion, and we hear you.

We are regularly evaluating viability and logistics for new server regions, like a dedicated SEA region. Just like we stood up Brazil and Asia, and then eventually added Brazil to Xbox. I can say SEA is an active area of investigation for us. I can't give a timeline, but we absolutely want to make this happen when it makes sense to do so.

Also, a couple folks here mentioned cost/benefit analysis. That's actually not the core focus, or even a major factor in opening a new region. It's really about evaluating experience tradeoffs, impact to existing regions, etc. We are also exploring tech solutions to help make some of those tradeoffs easier to mitigate.

Thanks for being awesome.

Explanation: The main ‘fire’ button on Mobile is... gone.

Evidence: It isn’t there. Confirmed with friends on Mobile it is missing for them too.

If replicable, how? Update to the latest version and it removes the button despite any settings you have.

Platform: Mobile.

Please give Mobile some upvote lovin’. We bitched and moaned so hard to get this button and now it’s gone!

It won’t appear even with tap-to-fire disabled. It is nowhere in the customise HUD screen and I’m at a loss.

we are aware of the issue, and are investigating what we can do to fix. in the meantime, resetting custom Hud layout seems to fix it. sorry!

That means there's already an Epic account associated with that email address. You can try logging in to the Epic Games website with that email. If you can't remember the password, you can hit the "Reset password" link in the login screen and you should get an email with instructions.

You sure can.

Just you and your friends.

Nope. Just you and up to three other friends in a match by yourself.
