    @Wife0fMany @AlgaePalJoe It’s so so sad that Banshee been treated like this by Fortnite developers, I don’t hate any fortnite developers but I like donald mustard he seems good person and I know he’s not the issue. Epic developers need to get their **** together this is so wrong, she deserves legendary

  • Crimfnr Crim 💷 (@Crimfnr) reported

    when i open streamlabs my curser disappears on fortnite anyone know a fix?

  • TvedtDom Ddman_12 (@TvedtDom) reported

    @BadTasteFPS @AdamChavez @_Tom_Henderson_ Fortnite is the best live service. Apex isn't terrible either. Same with Warzone, which is something I never thought I would say. Most f2p live services are good tbh.

    @GODOFFIRE2005 @HappyPower I would hate to be a new player starting to play fortnite. And that's the problem new players won't stay around to play.

  • MrIhtishamAli1 Ihtisham Ali (@MrIhtishamAli1) reported

    @FortniteGame Kindly a little bit pay attention to save the world too. Increase save the world item shop's items. Even after waiting a week we still get less Pure Drops of rain, lightning in a bottle, eye of the storm etc even after having enough gold.😕 And now there is storm shields issue.😔

  • PokerfaceCactus Pokerface Cactus (@PokerfaceCactus) reported

    @ttvzakzx @clarktheshark76 @FortniteBR The problem is that building takes so much time and skill to learn that the majority of people just don't have the time in a day to get good because they have jobs. And if it stays that way it will be the reason Fortnite wil eventually die out since there will be no new players.

    @Nigmachangeling Oof yeah no joke, I first entered fortnite a little loss cause of the 3rd person but I eventually got used to it Gosh the lag definitely is a major factor, although you can try and use it to your advantage but even that's still really hard

  • PaulW709 PW (@PaulW709) reported

    @FortniteGame How about a patch to fix those with boosted health/shields? Even with the additional 50 this season that's a max of 250 HP. I'm after coming across MANY players that can take upwards of 300 HP damage and still turn around and take more shots.....

  • bot_zexy content crackhead (@bot_zexy) reported

    fortnite is boring af, even in the most broken meta people still run

    I want to thank everyone for hoping for the best for Zack. They were able to successfully remove the quarter from his esophagus with no problem. I am going to be taking a nap in the mean time and will be returning to the bubathon later tonight with our sub goal of Fortnite!

  • ReviceRex Revi (@ReviceRex) reported

    @morganuche2000 @TheeMockingjqy @PlayAvengers Its because "Marvel Game" fans have only really played single player games, wait until they find out how games like, Valorant, Overwatch, Fortnite, Destiny, Sea of thieves, literally any live service, makes money and why its a successful business model.

  • BAZHIGHGROUND BAZ HIGHGROUND (@BAZHIGHGROUND) reported

    Everything that Fortnite should fix for Fortnite to be thriving in competitive(1/?) 1. Remove stingers & combat smgs, replace with old smgs. Striker shotgun can stay 2. Add assault rifles back 3. Fix loot disappearing from chests/getting glitched @FNCompetitive @FortniteGame

  • duzelol PunchFN (@duzelol) reported

    @scarefn7 fortnite fix your game drum shotguns r so annoying

  • JoeClackity Joe (@JoeClackity) reported

    @_Tom_Henderson_ Live service isn’t even the issue. Fortnite and Apex have never had issues like Halo and BF have been having. It’s upper management and negligence that’s the problem.

  • yooomannyy Manny🤬 (@yooomannyy) reported

    @FortniteGame Chill with the lagging.. like come on. You guys are so quick to take my money. But not fix issues for the game

  • CeyseraLuL andy the tarnished🎲 (@CeyseraLuL) reported

    All im saying is based on the amount of people upset that building is already coming back id say building is the core problem in fortnite

  • jOkerMas13 jOkerMas (@jOkerMas13) reported

    @EpicGames customer service sucks. These cheap MF’s don’t even have a phone.. I’m just a dad trying to make it so my son can play his fortnite account on his switch… Fix the ‘ghost account’ issue.. damn!

  • vaakfv vaak (@vaakfv) reported

    @FortniteGame no one cares fix low mesh

  • BAZHIGHGROUND BAZ HIGHGROUND (@BAZHIGHGROUND) reported

    4. Cow catchers need to go please, replace with bounce pads. 5. Fix the bug were you get insta killed when you drive car off mountain Other than that season would be in the best state. Please this is all that needs to be done @FNCompetitive @FortniteGame

  • InnominateTM InnominateTM 🇺🇦 (@InnominateTM) reported

    @EmilinoRn @JoshsHaloMemes3 @Unyshek True, but I also just wish 343 wouldn't make fugly *** Fortnite cat ears and laser mohawks to appeal to pop culture. Would be cool to have a unique style to Halo again. Disabling them is just a roundabout solution to the issue.

  • FNBRLuka Luka (@FNBRLuka) reported

    In 7 days fortnite has to reset arena points, fix mobile builds, vault tanks, fix/remove cow catchers, and fix IO vaults
