An issue with the recent Fortnite update that I share with many other players. I’ve been playing the game for years and have always enjoyed the creative hub, where you set portals and can meet new people in the lobby to play with. Many of my friends don’t play so much anymore, so this has been a great way for me to make friends and meet new people in the game.
Unfortunately, in the recent update, Epic disabled this portal feature and instead use a skill-based matchmaking service where we can no longer meet people in the creative hub and continue to play with them in different modes and worlds. I have tried to enjoy the matchmaking, but it’s full of people who are far too good for me to enjoy the game and I can’t even make any friends to play with anymore. Several of my friends that I met through the hub also have stopped playing the game due to this. It’s really upsetting, as this is the only mode I enjoy playing recently.
I hope Epic plans on returning the hub and portal feature, so long-time players like myself can continue to enjoy the game. From what I understand, many people have stopped playing due to this change.
I, for one, will likely not play anymore. Which is sad, since I’ve enjoyed the game for so long and have consistently played for years.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Would love to hear the community’s thoughts on this recent change and what alternatives they suggest.
I would suggest an update in creative mode allowing both the portal and matchmaking services, enabling players who prefer either to enjoy the game.
