    @Respawn @PlayApex Glad you can fix the store but we still haven't gotten 120 fps on console. Still deal with cheaters and cronus users. Game still crashing in competitive. Seer needs removed. I can go on and on... meanwhile fortnite has creative with unreal engine 5. Come tf on. R.I.P soon

  • Tobisito_44 🌟He perdido el boli Azul🌟 (@Tobisito_44) reported

    @beyondyou__ @OatmealThoughts In the end we are talking about Nintendo, which is far behind on these issues, Fortnite and Apex have more experience in this field, and the fact of using P2P servers influences a lot, since the others have dedicated servers

    am I the only Fortnite creator who didn’t get sponsored by fkin John wick? I ain’t mad I just don’t want any problems with Jonny yk? 😥

    @xcellerations Counter-Strike just upgraded their engine, it's not a new game it's over 20 years old. Fortnite looks like a cartoon for 12-year-olds. Too bad Activision and EA games decided to release unfinished garbage under a live service model which means you're buying low quality crap.

    @Taemin_song Fortnite creative is gonna be just as mid as OG Fortnite not even UE5 can fix broken mechanics and gameplay.

    @_QuiteLiteraly_ I think one of the biggest issues with gaming rn is the cycling of free games Apex gets a huge update everyone goes there, Fortnite gets a huge update everyone goes there, Overwatch gets a huge update everyone goes there

  • MrWhippy76 💙🍦Mr whippy fortnite leaks and news💙🍦 (@MrWhippy76) reported

    Fortnite fix your game creative 2.0 keeps ruining mine and @unluckyPatti game we keep getting stuck in loading screen and it's rather annoying we are just trying to play

  • beyondyou__ Beyond (@beyondyou__) reported

    @Tobisito_44 @OatmealThoughts but that's not due to the switch tho. apex and fortnite have 20 and 30 tick rate across all hardware. this is not a switch problem. and the switch is more powerful than the wii u, "battery issues" notwithstanding.

  • BlueberryBirdo 💙Harpo💙 (@BlueberryBirdo) reported

    @loimfy Yeah, that's kind of the problem with the older Fortnite skins because most of them reuse a ton of assets. Nowadays there are less skins like that because of all the money they constantly earn.

    Fortnite is about to absolutely take over the battle royale world. I don’t think we will see many successful survivors from it in the next 5 years. Epic continues to inovate and deliver every single day. They never just sit with an idea, they test it through trial and error and…

  • bignteshka leo (@bignteshka) reported

    @taysonFN The biggest and massive problem is that they are not communicating with pros (T1). Just watch cs go or something, they are adding source 2 but before that the ask everything and how pro players feel about it. In fortnite there was never this type of communication with pros!!!!!!

  • LtCameron88 Lieutenant Cameron-088 💛💙 (@LtCameron88) reported

    -finally broke through and took the throne of shooters. Halo declined BECAUSE of the shift. Halo tried it's best to keep up and stay true to the arena shooters, but it was too late. Halo won't ever dethrone COD or Fortnite, and it won't come close. Going back to 07 won't fix it

  • YukiAzumiCh Yuki Azumi (@YukiAzumiCh) reported

    @MissBarbatos This used to be the norm but the industry has acclimated people into accepting paying for cosmetics. Same with acclimating gamers into accepting unfinished games as a service (That Fortnite started off as originally anyways with Fortnite: Save the World).

  • LejeuneRapeur Karimbeop_ (@LejeuneRapeur) reported

    @FortniteGame fix map issues !!!

  • Japreinn Japrein (@Japreinn) reported

  • Lilithica_ Lilithica (@Lilithica_) reported

    Discord is so ******* broken, it keeps crashing (and it also crashes Fortnite =_=). It also crashes when not playing fortnite btw 🙃 Reinstalling, clearing cache etc etc do not help =_=

  • UniqCrystonian UniqBlue (@UniqCrystonian) reported

    @FortniteGame Will the Drift Board return to StW? I heard it was added during Chapter 1 Season 7 and then disabled because it was buggy (I assume the physics were slightly broken) But Is there a chance it can come back?

  • AyanoVII AყαɳσVI (@AyanoVII) reported

    I wish we got more regular updates for Apex…..much like Fortnite gets so many updates and fixes etc. Apex is single handedly the BEST battle royale but sometimes I wonder why I both playing it with all the broken **** and lack of innovation at times.
