Can you pm me your username and what platform you're on?

I'll pass this along to our support team and see if they can help unblock you.

EDIT: Recommendation from our support team is to first make sure you reach out to PayPal support if you haven't already, in case they are throttling something on their end. Beyond that, please private message me your username and if possible a screenshot or text of whatever error you are seeing when you try to make the purchase. That way our dudes can take a look on our end. We definitely want to get you in that Nog Ops outfit ASAP :P

How much time and how many people do you need to do get a complete emoticon like the one of the snale dance?

Depends on how complicated or how long the dance is. The dance above was around 1 weeks worth of work for one animator.

nice job guys

Hand keying is more labor intensive but it allows us to push poses/timing and really define the performance as a whole.

Yup and sorry, not sure what happened but I'm looking into this right now in hopes of putting a fix into the next patch.

All the animation in Fortnite is Hand Keyed :)

Heya folks,

 

The Battle Pass marks the beginning of Season 2 cosmetic offerings in Fortnite Battle Royale.   The Season Store is retiring with the release of the Battle Pass, so get the Season 1 items (S1 Glider, Banner) while they’re still available!

 

The v1.11 update launches our Battle Pass which includes a ton of items for you to earn while playing Battle Royale.

 

What’s the Battle Pass? The TL;DR is … buy the Battle Pass to get cosmetic loot now. Then play to level up your Battle Pass, unlocking up to 65+ rewards by the end of the season. (It typically takes 75 to 150 hours of play to get everything.) Watch the video for more info!

 

 


 

Play Battle Royale. Level up. Unlock Epic loot. Buy the Battle Pass to get cosmetic loot now. Then earn or buy even more rewards.

We want to see everyone out there having a blast! We know stuff like this is never fun and we appreciate all of your patience.

Thanks again all you beautiful people!

Huzzah! We’ve applied a fix that has allowed us to enable Duo and Squad playlists once again! We will continue to monitor stability and keep everyone posted on all the latest updates.

Update: Stats are now enabled! Any of the personal stats that were collected while they were disabled will be backfilled in the future (This will also include the previous weekend as well).

Stats are currently being backfilled and then we will add them back in at a later date. We are doing this to keep things in a healthy state. Hope this helped.

Everything is currently in maintenance mode as we apply the fix. Once that finishes everyone will be able to connect. I wish I had a solid time frame for you. We are going to get you out there as soon as we can!

That is due to stats currently being disabled. We are still saving all your wins, we will just backfill them at a later date. :)

You've missed your friends, we know and are about to begin maintenance to address the issues we've been seeing today. There will be some downtime (begins at 2 AM ET) during this period while the update makes it way out to you patient players. Thank you for your understanding.
