You didn't mention it, but you need to link your PS4 account to your Epic account too.

That said, I know someone who has done all that and it still refuses to give him his Twitch costumes, so I dunno.

Kind of lovely, but does anyone know of a direct phone number for customer service for this? Some French speaking dick bought $208 worth of fortnite poo poo off my account somehow. I haven't played on PC since launch (I sometimes do it on PS4 but that account is still baseline)

I put in a ticket but it's been a week and they haven't answered it. Paypal won't let me dispute the transaction either. I would have put 2 factor auth on but, well, I haven't played since July 2017 and it was a dead game until they added Battle Royale.

Sadly, I think the only phone number they'll give you is 1-800-EAT-poo poo

What in this game is causing my controller to rumble at seemingly random times?

It’s not with explosions that I can hear, or gunshots. It’s not the clock. What is it?!

You might want to put your email into https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if you got some passwords compromised in a data breach. Also, use a password manager and never use the same password twice, etc.

I did change my password, which should help. Sadly things like Have I Been Pwned suck for any email that you have for any sense of time, especially nowadays. I'm pretty sure the registration process for a new gmail account breaches six times in the course of five minutes just as a warmup.

Epic Games is a piece of poo poo company that 1) saves payment info without asking/notifying you and 2) doesn't lock said payment option when logged in from another IP. This results in some random rear end in a top hat on the other side of the planet, connecting via 14 different VPN's and proxies, to still be able to instantly buy poo poo via your payment option, again, without asking/notifying you.

TL;DR: If you can still get in, remove payment options from your account and add 2FA.

IT tooke them 20 days to solve my vbucks problem. Giving them money now is a gamble for how saturated is their service. They are making money so fast (120 million dollars/month, number pulled from my rear end) that they have problems counting it.

Calm down, man. You asked for help, he provided help. If it’s still not working after following all those steps, you’ll have to contact Epic about it. Not much more someone in these forums can do for you.

I think the building is a lot of fun but people who are capable of erecting a fortress in two seconds flat after I ding them at range annoy me. Especially when building a simple pillbox is annoying and finicky for me.

you really get used to it and better at building and figuring out when to engage on buildings. most people will carry some kind of explosive thing just to ruin buildings or hoard materials to have a build-off against the next person

Ugh I'm really bad at this game again, played pubg for the past few weeks and now coming back to this is tough. I also just bound building stuffs to my mouse so I'm trying to get used to that.

On the flipside, no one really builds on mobile (because it's hard as hell to control) so I'm having a really good time playing that version.

I don't understand why people want no build modes, this game's gimmick is building, it's a core part of the game.

Firing a single shot at a guy to have him poo poo out a castle sucks

I hear that, and it was what made me wary of the game as well. What I learned was when you take that shot at someone and they start making GBS threads out a castle they lose visibility in pretty much every direction as they build- you can take this opportunity to close in and ramp up. You also just have to accept that long range pick-offs are less of a thing in this game.

At the same time, it's no different than someone slamming down prone when you get shot at in PUBG. Not to mention it's a giant "ENEMY HERE" marker.

So move on to another target? The whole point of this game is to be the last man standing. No one is forcing you to take that engagement.

Splatoon-style tilt controls for aiming would be great for mobile.

Thats usually what I end up doing. Fire a shot, see them frantically make a structure and move on to someone else. Unfortunately, thats not very entertaining :shobon:

Easy, wait for them to poo poo out a tower then once they're up top shoot out the base. I've seen Sypher and KR do it to people and it's never not funny to watch their opponents croak because they built too high didn't react fast enough.

This is what I've been doing. If they start making GBS threads out a tower I use the opportunity to rush in and move to a flank. 9/10 times I can lob grenades right into their structure and catch them off guard because they're still looking at where I was.
