I was surprised to see my PlayStation trophies help pop up my Xbox ones.

Still think winning 5 in a row is impossible

Honestly, there are a lot of people new to the game playing right now, it's not that hard to win currently for people used to the game. I just won a show while typing this message.

And I found out not only is the game broken in all the ways the beta was, there's new bugs.

Why am I not surprised.

You can't move at the beginning of Freeze Peak unless you jump. Thr first ramp has a lip you can get stuck on and I think the fans clip through walls again.

I was pushing people over ledges in roll off and they were able to jump and dive while clearly over the edge.

Oh and this nonsense:

I don't like that BP is now 100 tiers with demanding daily and weekly challenges to advance. I used to do one easy daily challenge before and end the BP so soon to gather crown parts. Now I need more time on this than Fortnite or other games I play. This is tooo much. That is the cost of going F2p, making it a hell for all to finish it without grinding so they are forced to buy tiers with real money. Yikes.

jumped on for a session... my first in a LONG time and the games a LOT of fun, theres a lot of variety in terms of maps now too which is something the game really lacked at launch.

Had a blast on it and am glad I can load it up from my xbox.

First games felt like they were filled with dum dums so I wouldn't be surprised if they were bots

I'm having a lot of fan
Let's go for 100 players in the first game!

I must say having 56 challenge bars update when you finish a game is a bit much.

might sound like a silly question but how in the hell do i access my favorite costumes? i favorited my godzilla costume and now i cant find it. i've looked for the favorite option and i don't see it.
If I remember correctly they get moved to the top of the tab they're in, so they're the first ones in the list.

Just played for a few hours on Xbox
That was really fun
Already got 2 crowns on my first day. both on that game where the platforms rotate and you need to keep going back and forth I don't remember what it's called

man by far one of the biggest quality of life fixes has to be the climbing animation being sped up. hated the old long ones.

Believing me to be smart and reading this thread and seeing to login to original platform first, still wind up with my shit not transferring.
Then realizing the reason Epic has me with two Epic accounts is because of how it was all fucked up back when they added that to Fortnite.
Absolutely a great experience using third party logins for games, everyone loves it and its so cool to have.

Is the auto-grab ledges feature new to this season? Never noticed it in the options before, and it seems to work pretty well. Just wondering if it'll work when diving for ledges.

The new F2P monetization sucks. I got my PS4 stuff converted over, but feel like all the time I spent gathering and saving crowns for when there was something of interest was a complete waste and my progress was effectively reset. I'll play it every so often, but there's no chance I'm spending any money on it.

The bug in squads in hunt games(eg hiopsie legends, bubble trouble, ski fall etc where the number of squads qualified doesn't update is still in.

I started playing again this week to get some stuff before it went f2p, made final rounds a bunch of times but never won.

This evening I finally get in, win my very first match. Yay for new players (many of them 8 years old, haha)!

Jumping can help you catch up, but you can also get caught behind a higher tile. The real key is to run forward more then left to right, very early the speed of the rolling can cause you to fall behind.

Victorsaurio and I had a couple of duos with that final and we were the last two left alive really early on and won easy since we had lots of beta practice.

How exactly you earn Show Bucks? I've seen those "100" through season progression but other than that just spending actual money?

I forgot this wasn't always a free to play game since ps4 owners got it for free on launch anyway.

I haven't played in a few months now, and only really dipped my toes in occasionally before. They ever make a playlist that is just the normal game with all the different types of maps and games available, with the exception of no team matches ever?

Does it still require an Epic account to play? I played it for a few weeks when it first released before any of that nonsense started.

Is there any validity to the bot claim? It seems like everyone is winning at least once, oftentimes twice (including myself) and those numbers just aren't adding up

As far as I know, there are no bots in this game. If it's easy, it's because the new players aren't used to the game yet.
good players lose perspective on how bad some casual players can be and they have been playing this game for months if not years. new players don't know how any of the maps work.

So I didn't log into my original platform does that mean all the cosmetics I earned on pc are lost?

Fair, but I've also seen people post (here included) that they just won their first ever round. I'm pretty sure I lasted about 10 seconds during my first ever round in 2020, and that was after watching videos for 2 days.

Would sort of make sense from a retention perspective to have people win early on, you get less frustrated people dropping the game, potentially making you net more long-term players. Apparently Epic does this for other online games?

i actually don't like the fact that i'm getting too many switch and xbox players. don't want them quitting because vet players are trouncing them.

so i just checked and my ps5 fall guys account carried over just fine to my xbox account. made sure to link my accounts before the game released. it even unlocked most of all the achievements as well. for some reason it didn't unlock 4 easy to get achievements. can't wait to get the xbox only costumes and use them on my ps5. i checked just to be sure and the sony costumes were still on there.

edit: jesus this game feels so weird with an xbox controller. maybe i'm just so used to using the ps4/5 control that the xbox control feels less responsive.

The game is a hot mess on the Switch, but on XSX and Ps5 it's running fabulously for me. Definitely my preferred way to play now on a beautiful 4K display.

i'm honestly 100% certain that there are bots. It's especiall apparent if you try to play squad mode with randoms. Just had a match where around 20 players would simply not get out of the initial platform and would just walk around in circles. That's well beyond "bad casual players"
