    @postboxpat I think a large part of fortnite's problem is the clickbait that occurs every time someone makes an even remotely possible theory or leak surrounding a season or update. To a degree it's why I think some parts of leaking have contributed to the downfall of Fortnite.

    @FortniteStatus can you all work on fixing the Xbox bug where they try to get into a game or back to lobby and it leaves them in a loading screen? Been a week now my friends are having this problem. #fortnite #Fortnite

    @KeyToAeris @SpawnWaveMedia Since Halo's multiplayer component is a f2p live service, it might be included in some categories, like how Fortnite, Warzone, etc get included And the campaign could be included since it didn't release until after last year's deadline

    Anyone still using the darth Vader glitch in fortnite to go to spawn island and survive the round there? I do.

    here's a crazy idea, how about you fix server issues instead of worrying about voice chat 🤬 #fortnite

  • CommonGuy96 common_guy (@CommonGuy96) reported

    @TheScritzCure @GenePark @tehemopenguin Surely there were plenty of examples of live service games doing this exact thing before fortnite did

  • xKatieKat85 KatieKat (@xKatieKat85) reported

    @TheSommerset @FortniteGame @FortniteGame this has to be a joke. Streamers keep your game alive and now you’re making tournaments significantly more difficult for them. How does that make sense? Stream sniping was already a huge issue.

    @Nighthammer_ but it still helps out way too much in close range fights, yknow, majority of the gunfights you get in. Fortnite has had its own slew of issues with AA, and I haven’t really kept up on how good or bad it is currently. BF2042 has too many issues regarding input in general to-

    @FortniteGame Please at least release season 4 already this one was so boring in my opinion. Im not insulting your hard work but weapons really need to get ballanced. Burst one is the only good AR, shotguns still being weak and stinger smg stills broken. (1/2)

  • AlexeyZebol AlexZebol (@AlexeyZebol) reported

    @WannabeSpidey @FortniteGame Her becoming a skin is no longer an issue. After Lok-bot release they decided to stop adding characters as heroes along with schematics, but increased the VB/X-ray ticket reward from 1000 to 1500.
