Hey @FNFestival absolutely loving Mic Vocals but could you add some activation windows to "Come & Go" please? Right now we're stuck hoarding seven overdrive phrases that are impossible to deploy. If you have the emote breaks end one measure sooner the game should generate some.

@Storm360 @KyleTheWynner I would be focusing on all of the bugs the mode has to offer first before asking for feature suggestions
Nonetheless communication is appreciated

Festival players - Please check out this post and let us know what you think! reddit.com/r/FortniteFest…

I'm just thinking @EpicTofuChris that since Rocket Racing will no longer be supported, will it ever be possible to aquire the jam tracks so many people missed out on? Maybe you could re-release the quests or something before it's gone? Or put them in the item shop?

DO THIS FOR JAM TRACKS AND I PROMISE FESTIVAL WILL BE SAVED

FORTNITE IS WORKING ON "FOR YOU" SHOP SECTION Codenamed "Boutique" and it also likely has a rating system per offer (Negative / Neutral / Positive / Strong Positive)

@Lynxeption I went back and figured out Bloody Mary was the chart I didn't get a break bug on
English

@Lynxeption OKAY SO IT'S NOT JUST ME AWESOME THANK YOU
I did Espresso today and got break bugged but still FC'd the song with 0 strikes/missed notes, I don't get it. Was just testing to see if it was key charts or both bc there was another song I played where I didn't drop after the break

@Dahja3D welp guess it's gonna get it's plug pulled in 3-5 business days sorry arenas you had SO much potential (a billion creative maps for it already exist by the community)

@ChadJustDrums @guigoakirah RB4 requires 2 profiles? I feel like I remember being able to use both my guitar and microphone in game on just 1
English

@guigoakirah It requires coop mode which is console only. Thats seriously it 😅 You use 2 separate accounts just like Rock Band 4 to accomplish this. Hopefully PC soon. Spent a large amount of time getting my XBX situated

BUT WAIT I WASN'T DONE
YOU THOUGHT I WAS DONE?
YOU MUST BE SHITTING

@synaesthesiajp I'm certain that this insight will be appreciated by so many more people than just the one that can't see why this is understandable. I feel it's no different than why Stage Tour won't have open notes on their lead charts. Today's update has been monumental for all things to come

This was the rudest of the replies to me saying Double Kick is a low ROI feature. But since there were plenty of people who seemingly think they know how these things work, let me put y'all on some game real quick.
There are two simple issues at play.
1) ROI - Double kick sounds simple, doesn't it? NOPE.
First, you'd have to reauthor the songs with double kick pedals. That isn't free, and that team is a fixed size, so that work would mean less new songs in the game for a feature only a small sliver of folks would use. So you are already negatively impacting revenue, but let's say we don't care and do it anyways. Well, now you need to go and add code to detect the pedals, and settings code to remap the pedals, and you gotta figure out whether it is now a new set of leaderboards, or the old set of leaderboards. You gotta figure out what to do if someone wants to play that on a single pedal, but use the double pedal chart, etc. etc. So yeah, your simple feature that is in other games is not so simple to build. Between UI and engineering, it is a non-trivial amount of time.
2) Opportunity cost - Even when a feature is "cheap" it isn't free. And sometimes the cost isn't what it cost to make, it is what it means you couldn't make. This is opportunity cost. Now, you know all those CRKD and PDP controllers that are on the market? You can thank the audience Festival built for that. Those new games? Thank Festival twice, because not only has it created a new set of players, those games don't have to worry about making instruments and carrying the inventory risk that killed rhythm games the first time. Festival expanded the audience. That's why it is important. Having the team work on niche features to stamp out Messugah songs for a subset of players probably small enough to fit into a tiny bar, when the actual opportunity is to continue to expand the audience... Great idea if you want the rest of the Festival team to get laid off. The business case around drums was tough enough.
The "five fret community" or the rhythm game community, is not just listeners of the Lore Hero podcast. It is large, diverse, and needs to keep expanding to keep rhythm games around. So when people like Acai say "WE NEED", it is important for the teams making games to really think about who "WE" actually are and whether there are more pressing "NEED(s)". Pushing for niche features is fine - it's just a player expressing a desire that they genuinely hold. But for those making the game, the responsibility is keep the ecosystem healthy, not just one very small corner of it. That way, games that do focus on that corner can actually thrive, because the rising tide lifts all boats. Just look online - WAY more posts about Vocals than Pro Drums because it reaches a way broader set of players.
So yeah, you can get mad at me for saying that what Acai wants is Low ROI and there are better things for the team to build, but I'm not wrong.
(Also, @gozfrt may have an incurable armpit rash, which is why they are so irritable... ALLEGEDLY. :) )

@synaesthesiajp @StacheTwenty4 its obvious why you got fired from epic. Drummers will ALWAYS be smallest playercount by a lot. Not everyone will afford a expensive drumkit or drum controller. Its obvious. But FNF "hardest core players" is 5fret community which is more valuable than brainrot tiktok players
