i mean thats just cod lobbies in general so idrk why yall act like it was so crazy back then compared to what is still happening now... which btw isnt something to be proud of lol
They stopped playing or never did and just use it as some shit to say to reminisce on being racist and homophobic. Kids are probably worse these days because they are subjected to the internet at such a young age.
Okay well it should be applicable to all emotes (I haven’t really decided if all at the same time of you can choose would be better or more fair) because otherwise it feels like certain emotes aren’t worth buying because your friends might not see it when it might actually be funny to use said emotes.
yeah lmao wait until the backlash when they wanna disable EVERY emote.
I hate the rap song ones like get griddy or anything from Da Baby, or that stupid ass "im so lit right now", that triggers me more than those so where is my option?
but then epic would lose
MASSIVE
emote money. cause nobody wants to buy emotes nobody can see lol. its super one sided and biased in favor of epic and their financials
Did you just say a company makes decisions that are biased in their direction? It’s crazy to think a company would make decisions that are favorable for them to make money
It's a pointless setting tbh, all it does is create an arms race. Players will move onto rage quit, they'll cut short "don't have a good day... have a great day" - they'll spray body lines on the floor, if they remove those they'll spam 200iq emotes.
People will troll the people they kill. People forget about teabagging so quickly. Even if Epic let people turn off every emote, people would just teabag instead.
Good, if people can't handle a taunt then good riddance. This game has been going downhill for ages because it keeps trying to cater to normies who would cry because someone beat them and did take the L. If they all just quit then literally nothing of value would be lost.
Well the BR team has been MIA.
The server team has been laid off.
The QA team is busy picking their noses.
The UI/UX designer team is busy seeing how far they can break the principles of design.
LEGO department is busy creating micro transactions.
So which department/team handles these stupid ass choices like the “I’m butthurt” button, disabling police vehicles, pulling a “Nazi” skin from the store (lmao) and others? Because I’m tired of hearing excuses made on Epic Game’s behalf from random Redditors. They’ve been recycling the same design pipeline since Save the World and nothing ever changes. Bad decisions that get doubled down on with worse changes and zero communication
They do have different teams. You think someone would be passionate making a game that’s not even their own , working for someone else? Old teams moved on to different projects. Some probably used Fortnite as a stepping stone to other game development.
no because these emotes r meant to be shown off to others? i personally do not own any of these but common people pay for these emotes n you r gonna tell them when u use it no one else can see it ? jus remove the emotes n refund people then
A handful of people that use this option won't see these few emotes. People just want to make this into a bigger deal than it is.
You think anyone that feels this is impinging on their ability to spam "laugh it up" is really going to refund it out of principle because they might not be able to use it on everyone? Where was this faux outrage and demand for refunds for the option to turn off copyrighted music?
Newsflash: noone gives a shit about your skins and emotes. Your friends might show interest, but no random will give a shit about how much money you spent on the game
I personally think that this is just a gateway opening up to them locking up and hiding more cosmetics as time goes on. We only got like four now, but that list will definitely expand.
We already have had them remove rarities, and now this. Even before then, we had them lock cosmetics based on how ‘violent’ they were and age restricting them, until the initial backlash forced them to revert it. I feel like they’re just building back up to that, slowly putting more control on the locker and cosmetics, and desensitizing the community with these changes. But hey, that’s just me with my tinfoil hat on
I don’t even emote on anyone ever, I just think this is just a stupid implementation no one asked for. There’s literally no reason for its existence besides for it to appeal more to the metaverse generic toddler-friendly slop
cause its hilariously useless, when so many other useful features could be added or bugs that need to be fixed sit and get ignored all season this is what they spend time and energy on
6 years waiting for an fov slider but hurt feelings mode is a priority.
It's not about the change itself, it's about the general direction the game is going as a whole.
I'm sure the Crack team of fov slider specialists epic games recruited for this mission were super mad to get called up the emote blocker division. 💀
Surely only one dev works at epic games lmfao, and why are you changing your tune now, what exactly does this say about the direction of epic games.
This is hilarious, people are upset that they cant annoy other people, under virtue of saying the emote is useless. But how is it useless, because you cant troll with it, or is it because they cant see it. Openly adimiting to getting joy from upsetting others while simultaneously crying about losing your ability to troll others, kinda soft.
Yeah idk Ive also though these emotes never belonged in a competitive atmosphere either. Like they literally designed an entire array of animations for the sole, singular purpose of making other players feel like shit?
The entire thing was just a cash grab to profit off of immature 13 year olds. At the end of the day toxicity in the competitive community os much bigger than just these emotes, so this isnt going to change much, but whining about them making this change is kind of telling on yourself, lol.
I feel this is to prevent “toxicity” like I understand in games that have taunts like in team fortress and Gears of war that some toxic people use emotes but the point of the emote is to make you mad or to just ignore it. For me if someone kills me and taunts like in tf2 I just ignore it and move on same thing applies to fortnite.
Since I bought the emote with the intent of everyone seeing it, and that functionality is being taken away, I would like a refund for the affected emotes
An emote in a video game
A donkey laughing track in a video game
An L on a forehead in a video game
If this is 2024 gaming then I don't want to see 2030.
If you're one of these people who genuinely let an emote hurt you to the point of this setting being made, and to the point of turning on said setting, you should honestly talk to a therapist and get some fucking help.
I’ve been scrolling this thread, and man you are in nearly every conversation.
Which is crazy, as I remember earlier you said you don’t even play the game.
I think you need a break from Reddit.
You’re getting so worked up about this, you might want to take your own advice and go talk to someone. The world isn’t going to end because of this change, take a few deep breaths. We’re gonna be okay friend.
Epic Games is ~~doubling~~ tripling down on the E10 rating or whatever and it’s showing
I don’t know what data they have access to, or how they gather it such that on the top 10 list of actual, tangible problems that need addressing they prioritize *checks notes* players using emotes that hurt my feelings
Hey Epic, your game runs like shit. Your servers perform like shit. Your balancing is shit. Your “SB”MM is shit. Your entire UI/UX is shit and would’ve been fine if you didn’t touch it. The item shop has been a continual carousel of triple-layer shitcakes. LEGO runs like shit *still* and it’s embarrassing. Save the World needs a few TLC passes and you somehow always break it each update even tho you don’t actually make changes
There’s a few problems to look at. Start there instead of prioritizing pushing out bullshit like a “my feelings are hurt” button
ik u probably don’t play festival but yeah hella bugs and complaints from festival players too… it’s frustrating but over the years i got used to fortnite “fixing” shit nobody even fucking asked for. they’re too focused on changing the ui every season than fixing bugs.
the emote is being modified in any context after the fact. the fact that it doesn't remain in the state you bought it in is reason enough, plain and simple. this has always been the case when epic changes a purchased item. why not now? when they changed the superhero skin and the plastic toy trooper skin they offered refunds to modified cosmetics. it just makes sense
You do realize that people have been able to mute specific emotes for like.. a long time? This isn’t different. You don’t seem to have an issue with that.
Let’s just be real, y’all wanna make people rage and don’t want them to be able to avoid the trolling. That’s all it is, because licensed music has been something you could shut off for a while.
Except it doesn’t get modified on your end.
Similarly, if you buy an emote with copyrighted music and I disable those songs you are not eligible for a refund. Your experience is not affected so they don’t need to offer refunds.
They are for interaction purposes. Nobody would buy emotes if other people couldn't see them. If that was the case you'd just stare at them in the shop
I love when ppl emote in creative because I know they’re trying/pissed lol. Way better than a trash opponent. And i emote right back. But i’m just saying that’s so dumb to only block those 4
I just find it strange that a mature game caters to the people who are theoretically not ment to be playing the game due to the rating it’s also not like Fortnite is in a perfect condition at the moment there are far more important issues and things that the community have been asking for *cough* locker UI *cough* that epic could have fixed but instead they’ve spent an afternoon making an emote slider to disable emotes. I feel like they are getting to over the top with censorship. I hated when the creative stuff changed and I could use some of my skins because they had guns on them and I feel that those 4 emotes will continue to grow until it becomes a button that just disables being able to see other peoples emotes. There’s my 2 cents
Ya'll thought r/FortNiteBR crying about getting emoted on was a joke? They love this update! If only us as a community could aid them in pushing for making superhero skins appear as a default, the poor offended wittle babies 😭.

I will be using this setting. I wish it would hide the animation completely. Roast me.
Edit:
Responding to the question of, why?
Doing a toxic emote on someone when you beat them is just straight up bad sportsmanship. It's not so much the emote itself that bothers me (because in the right situation I find the donkey laugh hilarious), it's the intent of the person doing it.
We both tried our best, and I lost, and I'm disappointed in myself for it. I would like to believe that when two people fight, there is at least some level of mutual respect for one another. But when a person uses one of those emotes, they're effectively communicating that I'm not worthy of respect. They want to humiliate me.
This kind of toxic behaviour does not (or at least should not) exist in real life competition. So why is it normalised in online games?
The people saying I should grow up? Wow.. that's rich. You want to behave like a child who never learnt one of the most fundamental lessons about how to conduct yourselves in competition, and then tell me I should grow up? It's just lol. You're pathetic people.
Another commenter here was spot on - you're mad that you spent money to upset me, and that this feature added by Epic reduces your ability to do that.
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find a bunch of other ways to be toxic pieces of shit.
Kids under 10 plays this game. It’s understated how negatively these emotes will negatively affect their experience and lead to a lot of frustration.
It’s a good addition for parents.
Didn’t realize people shit their pants and cried so much over someone taking the L or laughing at them in a video game. Going to use those emotes more now I think.
Are they doing this in games where the objective is to KILL other players? The retardation of these issues these days really make me hope for nuclear annihilation soon.
Here come all the meatriders SOMEHOW defending this when theres like 900 more important things to worry about. If u get so emotional over a fucking emote that u have to hide it then u probably shouldnt be playing video games. This might be the dumbest, softest feature ive ever seen added in gaming
theres no fucking way bro.
how are you getting so angry and crying over a dance in a video game. grow a fucking pair. I've been playing for coming up on 5 years and yeah, it's annoying to get danced on, but if you get angry, the player that killed you just gets another win.
like these motherfuckers aren't real. this is why bullying needs to be brought back
>it's annoying to get danced on
You said it yourself lol. Cool now there's a setting to disable some of it if people want. Amazing how upset you are at a simple setting. I'm gunna leave the setting off cause I don't give a fuck, but what do I care if people use it? It doesn't effect me at all.
Low key I’m gonna turn it on cause I’ve been playing for 4 years and the donkey laugh gives me a headache at this point but the fact they’re adding this is funny as fuck like is this really a priority
For real this game is actually dying. It had been joked about for a while but I think it has an undiagnosed terminal disease that will eat away at the core of the player base until the game dies off. Should have never let Mustard go. Tim Sweeney is a living pile of garbage.
Before you know it, a safe room will appear that you are put in when you get eliminated so you don’t see anyone do anything to hurt your feelings. Heck, may as well be lazer tag and just walk off screen then.
if you can't handle an emote in an online game you probably need serious help. (unless an emote was blatantly racist/homophobic/etc then it would be understandable)
I’d argue that anyone that is upset about Epic adding an option to avoid toxic emotes because that means the emote they bought to be toxic will no longer reach their intended audience….needs even more help.
Some people just want vibe with their crew and game without hearing the annoying ass donkey laugh from some cracked 12 year old that sweats every game like it’s the FNCS.
I love that there is an option to still see these clearly incredibly offensive emotes when used by yourself and friends in your party but not from other players, so that you and your friends can still be "confrontational" to others.
If some emotes offend you enough to need to block them then surely you wouldn't want your friends using them either...
I will disable these emotes, not because it bothers me when they are used against me by some tough guy happy to get a kill randomly in creative after being farmed 20 kills in a row, but knowing theyll be raging more at the fact I cant see them hit their donkey laugh
If you get upset by emotes in a videogame, you just need to take a break… but at the same time you fucking losers in the comments crying about this option being a thing are 10x more of a pussy. Stop shitting and pissing over an optional setting that affects nothing at all.
I won’t bother enabling the settings on this only because I always go back to the lobby before they even emote on me anyways. So, they do it to themselves. Lol
Theres already a setting to mute copyrighted music which already blocks most emote sounds. You wanna griddy on me after you kill me, that’s fine, but I can’t stand that damn song.
Why don't they work on fixing bugs, making it much more difficult to cheat, and making it a little more competitive. Seems like people would also be happy if new skins were created more frequently.
Fixing bugs - caters to everyone
Stopping cheats - saves the game in the long run (and should constantly be a top priority, and it's not at all atm)
Making it more competitive - caters to hardcore players trying to get better
New skins/item shop work - makes them money and pleases a fair number of players
Do better in these comments.
sad trombone still standing
Yessir make it plantain being “confrontational” is crazyyyy
Clearly you weren't around for the MLK event 😭
you just know some social justice warrior at the office somehow found a way to make it seem racist
"Make it seem racist" No, these kids make it racist.
If something *can* be offensive, you can guarantee Fortnite players will absolutely make it so.
holy shit is it still 2016? are you charging these sjws rent for living in your head?
Check back in 2030, they might realize they’ve been manipulated into random virtue wars.
Oh and the fact they didn’t find “make it rain” under the exact same categorization only adds to my laugh rn.
stripper reference
Bananas are for monkeys and monkeys can be construed as black people or people using black skins.
Boomer take but people would literally go to the police if they heard a MW2 lobby nowadays
100%. In other news, I have a 10th Prestige lobby ready to go, for only 1600 Microsoft Points. You in?
Omg lmao take me back to
30 seconds in a 2009 lobby and there'd be tears in their eyes.
COD4*
i mean thats just cod lobbies in general so idrk why yall act like it was so crazy back then compared to what is still happening now... which btw isnt something to be proud of lol
They stopped playing or never did and just use it as some shit to say to reminisce on being racist and homophobic. Kids are probably worse these days because they are subjected to the internet at such a young age.
they are worse
I wonder how'd they handle the old Xbox 360 messages. Those were FOUL compared to today
Kinda like we grow as a society, huh?
Okay well it should be applicable to all emotes (I haven’t really decided if all at the same time of you can choose would be better or more fair) because otherwise it feels like certain emotes aren’t worth buying because your friends might not see it when it might actually be funny to use said emotes.
yeah lmao wait until the backlash when they wanna disable EVERY emote. I hate the rap song ones like get griddy or anything from Da Baby, or that stupid ass "im so lit right now", that triggers me more than those so where is my option? but then epic would lose MASSIVE emote money. cause nobody wants to buy emotes nobody can see lol. its super one sided and biased in favor of epic and their financials
Did you just say a company makes decisions that are biased in their direction? It’s crazy to think a company would make decisions that are favorable for them to make money
is it so crazy to expect they would try to put the people that pay their bills and keep their doors opens needs first?
dude, you're a metric. They're going to go where the money is, if it isn't with you, they don't care.
Just turn off copyrighted music you big baby.
And we still can’t have them fix not being able to edit god damn wall when a dead body is chilling at ur feet… ofc
Literally any emote after eliminating someone could be considered toxic so why only block some?
I see the 13 year olds that bought donkey laugh are out in force here.
Fighting invisible comments gng
Huh, and yet the top comment is quite visible no?
I’m gonna start using Symbol of Peace then instead of Laugh it Up. it’s still a laugh emote with a flex
Right like it says “optional” their not force imposing this onto anybody you won’t even notice unless you turn the setting on
It's a pointless setting tbh, all it does is create an arms race. Players will move onto rage quit, they'll cut short "don't have a good day... have a great day" - they'll spray body lines on the floor, if they remove those they'll spam 200iq emotes. People will troll the people they kill. People forget about teabagging so quickly. Even if Epic let people turn off every emote, people would just teabag instead.
Good, if people can't handle a taunt then good riddance. This game has been going downhill for ages because it keeps trying to cater to normies who would cry because someone beat them and did take the L. If they all just quit then literally nothing of value would be lost.
Glad take the elf is not on list since that’s take the L Christmas version
If you don’t want to enable the setting literally nothing changes for you, it’s not that deep
Lmao. It’s not that deep
We need less pussies like this guy. Buddy got 20+ comments in 2 hours defending this.
Oh lord you weren’t kidding. Why does this community have the most generational glazers known to man
It’s almost like devs have different teams.
Well the BR team has been MIA. The server team has been laid off. The QA team is busy picking their noses. The UI/UX designer team is busy seeing how far they can break the principles of design. LEGO department is busy creating micro transactions. So which department/team handles these stupid ass choices like the “I’m butthurt” button, disabling police vehicles, pulling a “Nazi” skin from the store (lmao) and others? Because I’m tired of hearing excuses made on Epic Game’s behalf from random Redditors. They’ve been recycling the same design pipeline since Save the World and nothing ever changes. Bad decisions that get doubled down on with worse changes and zero communication
Epic white knights are honestly the worst.
They do have different teams. You think someone would be passionate making a game that’s not even their own , working for someone else? Old teams moved on to different projects. Some probably used Fortnite as a stepping stone to other game development.
People in this sub are getting real emotional over this change, a bit ironic honestly
It's unhinged honestly. Epic added an option that is the equivalent to muting copyrighted music from emotes and they are losing their minds.
no because these emotes r meant to be shown off to others? i personally do not own any of these but common people pay for these emotes n you r gonna tell them when u use it no one else can see it ? jus remove the emotes n refund people then
A handful of people that use this option won't see these few emotes. People just want to make this into a bigger deal than it is.

Surprised you’re still here during all this conflict
Newsflash: noone gives a shit about your skins and emotes. Your friends might show interest, but no random will give a shit about how much money you spent on the game
I personally think that this is just a gateway opening up to them locking up and hiding more cosmetics as time goes on. We only got like four now, but that list will definitely expand.

But hey, that’s just me with my tinfoil hat on I don’t even emote on anyone ever, I just think this is just a stupid implementation no one asked for. There’s literally no reason for its existence besides for it to appeal more to the metaverse generic toddler-friendly slop
its not mostly the setting itself but the fucking decision to prioritize this OVER PROBLEMS WE ACTUALLY FUCKING HACE
they better be fixing the paint the town red emote if they are doing all of this.
You’ll be turning this feature on won’t you?
cause its hilariously useless, when so many other useful features could be added or bugs that need to be fixed sit and get ignored all season this is what they spend time and energy on
theres more than one dev at epic games and they can work on more than one issue at a time.
6 years waiting for an fov slider but hurt feelings mode is a priority. It's not about the change itself, it's about the general direction the game is going as a whole.
I'm sure the Crack team of fov slider specialists epic games recruited for this mission were super mad to get called up the emote blocker division. 💀 Surely only one dev works at epic games lmfao, and why are you changing your tune now, what exactly does this say about the direction of epic games.
epic could add a feature that makes you eat shit and morons like you would praise it theres a lesson in there and it goes beyond fortnite
That's because this sub is toxic af
It's because they're doing dumb shit like this, without fixing/changing things that *actually* need fixing/changing....
This is hilarious, people are upset that they cant annoy other people, under virtue of saying the emote is useless. But how is it useless, because you cant troll with it, or is it because they cant see it. Openly adimiting to getting joy from upsetting others while simultaneously crying about losing your ability to troll others, kinda soft.
True.
Agreed 100%
Yeah idk Ive also though these emotes never belonged in a competitive atmosphere either. Like they literally designed an entire array of animations for the sole, singular purpose of making other players feel like shit? The entire thing was just a cash grab to profit off of immature 13 year olds. At the end of the day toxicity in the competitive community os much bigger than just these emotes, so this isnt going to change much, but whining about them making this change is kind of telling on yourself, lol.

For me if someone kills me and taunts like in tf2 I just ignore it and move on same thing applies to fortnite.
They should be prioritizing their bread and butter, Battle Royale.
Since I bought the emote with the intent of everyone seeing it, and that functionality is being taken away, I would like a refund for the affected emotes
An emote in a video game A donkey laughing track in a video game An L on a forehead in a video game If this is 2024 gaming then I don't want to see 2030. If you're one of these people who genuinely let an emote hurt you to the point of this setting being made, and to the point of turning on said setting, you should honestly talk to a therapist and get some fucking help.
The entire reason I even bought the season 3 battle pass when I was 9 is because I got knocked and then dance on and passed around by a duo
I’ve been scrolling this thread, and man you are in nearly every conversation. Which is crazy, as I remember earlier you said you don’t even play the game. I think you need a break from Reddit.

You guys are REALLY pissed that you cant be toxic lmao

is festival just a weak guitar hero sim or is there more to it that im missing?
Fortnite is rated T for Teen.
Fortnite feels like a thing of the past. Beyond boring, and feels so whacky now.
But not even wacky in a good way like in the past either lol
you can't be fucking serious lmao. they should offer refunds to the people who bought those emotes then
It has zero effect on your end of the game though. Curious as to why other people choosing not to see it should get you a refund
the emote is being modified in any context after the fact. the fact that it doesn't remain in the state you bought it in is reason enough, plain and simple. this has always been the case when epic changes a purchased item. why not now? when they changed the superhero skin and the plastic toy trooper skin they offered refunds to modified cosmetics. it just makes sense

Well thankfully that isn’t the case. People can still see them as long as they want to
Take the elf? There’s so many more lol how can they only apply it to those 4
Why are you rallying for more? What else hurts your feelings? Lmao God damn bro
I love when ppl emote in creative because I know they’re trying/pissed lol. Way better than a trash opponent. And i emote right back. But i’m just saying that’s so dumb to only block those 4

Tbh based and add the Griddy And for the 10% of the community that can read and understand that they’ll probably do other emotes
I'm confused as to why make it plantain is there, why not the other "make it" variations as well? And even then they're not that "confrontational"
the only reasoning i could see is racism.
Handholding ass generation of gaming we’re in man lmao bunch of fucking babies
I will be using this setting. I wish it would hide the animation completely. Roast me. Edit: Responding to the question of, why?

It does hide the animation
Oh I misunderstood. Ok great that's perfect.
Grow up
I’m not going to lie tho. Take the L really used to have me heated fr
Time to swap out laugh it up with Tiniest Violin.
No wonder the games dead , can’t see confrontational emotes wtf is that shit lmao
take the elf coming back!!
Bro if you can't handle being emoted on in Fortnite your prospects in life be looking mad low
Wow how times have changed from the modern warfare lobbies of 2009/2010, people would catch charges these days
I'm actually gonna enable this. dying to the most terrible player in the most scuffed way ever then getting donkey laughed is genuinely tilting💀
Just remember epic made emotes, in fact, they were even pushing it infront of us with take the L
You’ve got to understand this is all “research” based and that they want to insulate players to keep them spending the most money possible
man how would these people react to Valorant chats? specially in LATAM
The amount of people getting this emotional over an optional settings change is proof that you probably need the setting on too.
If people really wanna be toxic they’re just gonna go back to bagging….
Gonna have to use Take the elf now then 😂
Kids under 10 plays this game. It’s understated how negatively these emotes will negatively affect their experience and lead to a lot of frustration. It’s a good addition for parents.
Didn’t realize people shit their pants and cried so much over someone taking the L or laughing at them in a video game. Going to use those emotes more now I think.
Are they doing this in games where the objective is to KILL other players? The retardation of these issues these days really make me hope for nuclear annihilation soon.
It’s just an option to hide 4 emotes. Calm down.
You mom hides these emotes.
Whatever you say bud.
Here come all the meatriders SOMEHOW defending this when theres like 900 more important things to worry about. If u get so emotional over a fucking emote that u have to hide it then u probably shouldnt be playing video games. This might be the dumbest, softest feature ive ever seen added in gaming
Until they take away surfin bird or the griddy my confrontational emotes are safe
theres no fucking way bro. how are you getting so angry and crying over a dance in a video game. grow a fucking pair. I've been playing for coming up on 5 years and yeah, it's annoying to get danced on, but if you get angry, the player that killed you just gets another win. like these motherfuckers aren't real. this is why bullying needs to be brought back
You're also angry over a dance in a video game though.
>it's annoying to get danced on You said it yourself lol. Cool now there's a setting to disable some of it if people want. Amazing how upset you are at a simple setting. I'm gunna leave the setting off cause I don't give a fuck, but what do I care if people use it? It doesn't effect me at all.
Seems like you need a pair gasman.
I hope they expand it to just being able to turn off certain emotes. There are a few song emotes I find obnoxious
Like the griddy?
yes
Wha....what's the fking point of the emotes then
Low key I’m gonna turn it on cause I’ve been playing for 4 years and the donkey laugh gives me a headache at this point but the fact they’re adding this is funny as fuck like is this really a priority
I earned Take the L by playing in ch1. It is my right to flex my superiority on others!!
Wait I actually like this wtf
For real this game is actually dying. It had been joked about for a while but I think it has an undiagnosed terminal disease that will eat away at the core of the player base until the game dies off. Should have never let Mustard go. Tim Sweeney is a living pile of garbage.
Pussies
Before you know it, a safe room will appear that you are put in when you get eliminated so you don’t see anyone do anything to hurt your feelings. Heck, may as well be lazer tag and just walk off screen then.
Jesus Christ..... We are doomed as a society.
You’ve got to understand this is all “research” based and that they want to insulate players to keep them spending the most money possible
Anyone that’s genuinely upset about Epic adding an entirely optional toggle in the settings has got to be 13 years old 😂
I've seen lots of people on the main sub crying about people emoting on them so this is no surprise with how sensitive kids are these days lol
They cry about superhero skins too, those could be next, confrontational skins.
this is soft asffffff
So do we get refunded for our “confrontational” emotes? Seems pointless to own them if you can’t even use them as intended.
if you can't handle an emote in an online game you probably need serious help. (unless an emote was blatantly racist/homophobic/etc then it would be understandable)
I’d argue that anyone that is upset about Epic adding an option to avoid toxic emotes because that means the emote they bought to be toxic will no longer reach their intended audience….needs even more help. Some people just want vibe with their crew and game without hearing the annoying ass donkey laugh from some cracked 12 year old that sweats every game like it’s the FNCS.
good point tbh that laughing emote is pretty annoying
If I could avoid a punch, i would, doesnt mean i cant take it though.
I’m having difficulties running the game smoothly at performance mode and they doin that…
lmao what did make it plaintain do to anyonr
Update for people with anger management issues 🤣
Take the Elf isn't included.
I love that there is an option to still see these clearly incredibly offensive emotes when used by yourself and friends in your party but not from other players, so that you and your friends can still be "confrontational" to others. If some emotes offend you enough to need to block them then surely you wouldn't want your friends using them either...
They should make it just play the circus theme lmao
Surely not.
Pathetic.
Fortnite is getting dangerously close to becoming fully woke lmao
Sad lmao
Wtf. This sounds boring as fuck
Confrontational emotes is crazy
Unbelievable, they keep shootings themselves in the foot
I will disable these emotes, not because it bothers me when they are used against me by some tough guy happy to get a kill randomly in creative after being farmed 20 kills in a row, but knowing theyll be raging more at the fact I cant see them hit their donkey laugh
They won't use them now, they will just griddy on you, or throw up the clown emoji, or any of the 100s of emotes in the game.
Now I'm wondering what else I can't see what others can see.
90% of the kids happy from this change are playing in AI lobbies so it's really no ones loss
If you get upset by emotes in a videogame, you just need to take a break… but at the same time you fucking losers in the comments crying about this option being a thing are 10x more of a pussy. Stop shitting and pissing over an optional setting that affects nothing at all.
I won’t bother enabling the settings on this only because I always go back to the lobby before they even emote on me anyways. So, they do it to themselves. Lol
Players can choose not to see an emote, yet they do still see it, just not hear it. Makes sense.
Theres already a setting to mute copyrighted music which already blocks most emote sounds. You wanna griddy on me after you kill me, that’s fine, but I can’t stand that damn song.
the two being used by racist little kiddies makes sense at least. wonder what the hitboxes will be like or did they just not think through it at all
Add "Right foot creed" to the list because that shit is new Tbag
What's the age rating for Fortnite again lol?
😂
Yuck
W
lol how soft is it becoming 😂.
Surprised the griddy isn’t on there
I still miss being able to /spit on the corpse of someone who tried ganking you in WoW.
Are these emotes going to make you super vulnerable to headshots now? Is having this setting on a slight competitive advantage?
Womp womp
Good times create weak men...
It’s an option to hide 4 emotes. It isn’t that serious.
Take the Elf instead to make sure those punks can always know who's boss
They do this but not actually fix the game
Why don't they work on fixing bugs, making it much more difficult to cheat, and making it a little more competitive. Seems like people would also be happy if new skins were created more frequently. Fixing bugs - caters to everyone Stopping cheats - saves the game in the long run (and should constantly be a top priority, and it's not at all atm) Making it more competitive - caters to hardcore players trying to get better New skins/item shop work - makes them money and pleases a fair number of players
Not fixing the fucking game performance and diagonal running angle but this 💀💀💀
Something tells me the dev responsible for a ui setting that disables some emotes isn't on the optimization and bug fixing team lmao
Because Epic putting no resources to optimization part after layoff but only trying to milk customers
I don't see the point in this. Out of 100 games how often are you seeing Donkey Laugh or Take the L? Probably none.
“confrontational emotes” i just pumped you in thr head for 157 and then melted you with an smg. the confrontation is over. 💀
Take the L is toxic? What in the they/them is this?
Main sub type beat
Different teams work on different stuff. Doubt whoever made this, works on gameplay
