Cool. Was gonna try this morning but there seemed to be issues with LIVE.

I do think Epic have set a high standard for in-game advertising with Fortnite.  Nothing's been awkward, half arsed, or out of place, but rather a series of very well designed custom games and cosmetics that have fit the existing experience perfectly.  

From the two Avengers Limited Time Modes which saw certain iconic weapons and characters enter the game, to the John Wick tie in with his house being added to the map along with a dedicated LTM, to this new Jordan deal, to the Samsung / K-pop group iKON deal with a dance emote and remixed music from one of their singles, to Weezer World - a theme park built in creative mode where you could play mini-games and listen to tracks from The Black Album.  It's all been solid stuff.

The thought of other games I play having ads still makes me queasy, but I'm looking forward to seeing where Fortnite goes next with this.  

Wow, that is quite the thing. Some nice camera work there!

I'm still happy that I kicked my STW habit, but no doubt I'll have another look at some point.

Was pretty cool alright. My son managed to get killed by the monster so we missed where the robot charged it into the water as we were waiting to respawn!
Did you stay for the team rumble Stormy? Longest game ever! 
200 target, most people dropped out and the infinite power jetpacks stayed on. Thought we might have got something for stubbornly staying on but nothing even though we got the victory as the last man standing.
Any word on when overtime challenges will start? I've a couple more tiers and fortbytes to finish.

Might take you up on that. My son's friends only play creative so he won't be getting any done.

Yeah I've seen that, there's birthday challenges as well. Data miners seem to be fairly accurate in extracting info once an update drops.
Last couple of tiers was the target but you know what it's like when you start a challenge list!

Yeah mostly, but I might be free some evenings this week as well.

Agreed. They don't look too bad, should be able to blast through the team challenges in a single session.

Just seeing this, cool if you're around. I'll hopefully be able to get on later.

Oh no! Just had a nap while they watched The Lion King. Gonna sort some food then check if you're still on. Don't wanna miss that lil black number! Need the XP for the last two tiers so I can get the last skins and fortbytes.

Sorry bud, doesn't look like I'll get a chance today. Mrs out tomorrow afternoon so I'll be on most of the afternoon / evening.

The new Season X Battle Pass and challenges look as great as ever, but the best news of all is Team Rumble has been made an official mode!!!   Always loved the large team battles and respawn enabled modes, and this one in particular is the perfect place to do challenges or for people of my skill level to feel like they've still got a place in the game.  

The whole time slip thing is interesting, with Dusty Depot and the factory being reintroduced mere seconds before the meteor hit (complete with the frozen meteor hanging menacingly above the factory), and I'm looking forward to seeing what other locations they're going to bring back, and for how long.  Moisty Mire and the prison are a dead cert I reckon.  Can't pretend I'm not disappointed by the lack of any major map changes though, was hoping they'd replace the snow biome or the desert with something new.

Oh, and the locker has been introduced to Save the World, giving you full access to your BR emotes, music, and loading screens.  Good stuff.

Wait, they're time limited?  I hadn't realised, that's a shit move.  And while I do like the idea of these themed missions I don't like the removal of daily challenges, or adding more play with friends requirements to the missions.  

The Battlepass itself is great, but there seems to be a few bad moves here.

Just loaded up to have a better look, seems the time limit only applies to the B.R.U.T.E Squad mission (this is also where the current play with friends requirement is).  It's kinda similar to other time limited challenges we've had before for summer, birthday, John Wick, Nike, etc.  The two Battle Pass missions currently available don't have a time limit indication, thankfully.

I'll put my pitchfork down for now.

Just noticed they are level rewards which are in addition to BP tiers so that's another grind to worry about. XP and Battle stars do seem to be coming in fast though.
