There's been some really dumb stuff in this game, so I don't say this lightly, but planes kamikaze-ing into buildings and build fights with no repercussion or damage for the pilot might be the dumbest thing since seen in this game yet.
Getting third partied by that is stupid on a level I can't even describe. Jesus christ these things need overhauled.

I'm not gonna lie I've been doing this a lot lol But I agree, you should definitely take some damage if you crash or get shot down.
Seems like there's just not enough downside to taking a plane and crashing it into buildings/people at the moment. No downside to the plane exploding while you're in it either I think ? And yeah the noise pollution is insane. They definitely need some adjustements in my opinion.
I mean, I've been doing it too lol. There's no penalizing you really so it almost seems like they want you to dive bomb people.
Even if it did damage the plane, you take no damage for it exploding so it would still be fine. They need to tweak a lot of these things to make planes not super brain dead.
I feel like they need to make you take, like, 100-150 damage if you are in a plane when it explodes (though this also means they should make plane health visible, I don't think it currently is?) or at least if you make it explode by crashing into things. And make it more punishing to hit brick & metal buildings and structures especially. Like, if you fly straight into some factory building, the plane will explode right away or take as much damage as the parts you hit have health remaining.
I think you should just take a big damage hit if it blows up with you in it. It's super easy to just shoot the pilot though (a lot easier than it is for them to shoot you on the ground imo), so I really don't mind them too much, well outside of them being really loud.
Balloon quick release should only happen when you have them selected. I'm sick of dropping to my death because I tried to jump off a slight slope.
Creative mode maze I'm making:

That looks really good. Is creative mode persistent? Or does it go away when you log out?

Got the battlepass yesterday. Going to tackle some of the challenges tonight, but I have been checking out Creative, and this is so good.
DAMN, I need to go mess around with those cubes.

permanent until the replace it with another variant, anyway
Well right now it's not the 50v50 you might be thinking of. It's a 20v20 with respawns, first team to 100 kills wins
50v50 has been dead for months now if I'm not mistaken, I'm still waiting, game is useless to me without it, don't like the smaller 20v20 we currently have, and don't like respawns, makes death meaningless, people play carelessly.
Overall I think the changes for Season 7 have been pretty great. Planes could still use some tweaking so that there's some form of punishment from being blown up in the sky (either you lose re-deploy or take some damage from the plane's explosion), but I don't think it feels too OP otherwise. The movement speed and difficult aiming are decent ways to balance them.
I really like the snowy biome so far. Happy Hamlet is an awesome little town with a ton of loot, almost feels like a mini Tilted Towers. The castle underneath the ice shows some promise too!
Zip lines seem like they're in an okay place right from the start. It definitely feels like there's a real risk reward when using them because you're not moving too fast across, so it's pretty easy to shoot people down from them.
If they could just get the server situation squared away so you don't have 2-5 seconds of lag at the final kill, that would be awesome...

Only complaint I have about the new stuff this season is the ziplines randomly just throw you to your death. Happened pretty much every time on the ones on the mountain above disco warehouse.
There's a huge castle underneath the ice and snow at Polar Peak. I'm guessing it will slowly melt as the season progresses and reveal itself.
Shit I keep forgetting its 20 vs 20
Honestly, I prefer it over 50 vs 50
When you just want to get through your daily challenge of getting top 50 in solos... and you end up getting your first Victory Royale of the season! Woot. And doing it with just a silenced pistol, a green shotgun, some balloons and some stink bombs.
Heh, haven't noticed it at all. Though I haven't really been at Polar Peak much. Maybe twice and both times there were enemy planes flying above so I focused more on those than what was below. :P
I'm completely in love with the new areas. I'm a sucker for winter-themed stuff in general and the look of the new buildings is really cool, but I particularly love the verticality of the region. Hills everywhere, tons of natural cover, the way battles in Happy Hamlet can go out the wall of one building and then onto the roof of the next. The named areas also feel kind of compact/dense in a way I really dig. It's great.
Oh damn, I forgot to post back about the sprays. Uh..if anyone has one I'd deeply appreciate it! I went to 2 Walmarts that Sunday and both didn't have them. It appeared they had no idea what I was talking about so I'm assuming someone took the whole stack or they may have just handed them out some other time.
Week 1 is done! I love the snowy region; there's so many cool areas but it seems that the circle never ever goes down there.As for planes, I love kamikaze-ing them but there really should be more to them, like they'll blow up (similar in damage to a grenade or rocket so like 100 pts maybe). Aiming straight at the ground and it just gently bouncing off kinda ruins it.

Has anyone dealt with epic support regarding a hacked account? I've been trying to get mine back and the latest message from them requested I send some form of identification with my name and address.
Obviously, I'm super hesitant to do this and wanted to see if anyone else has gone through with it.

My roommate just had to deal with all of this. Someone got his password and enabled 2-factor on his account (he hadn't done so himself).
He provided the info they requested and they got his account back to him. They asked for some crazy stuff though, I think one of the requests was even a scan of his driver's license (which he ended up not providing).
They do ask a shit tonne of weird, specific questions.
I accidentally got a typo in my email address for my email (so can't access my epic account since I set it up after starting on psn) and the sheer amount of stuff they need put me off and I just left it.
I appreciate they need a lot to be sure but they wanted purchase receipts and ip address of every device etc. Really off-putting.
Yup. This is the exact scenario that is happening to me, password hacked and 2FA added.
They asked for a scan of a license or a passport. But, it sounds like he was able to get his stuff back without providing those?
