Has the development of Fortnite lead to new features or fixes in Unreal?

Yes!

We did a GDC talk about this last year and the improvements have been ongoing.

Any progress on the middle east servers yet?

We are currently working with multiple providers, but realistically this is going to be a bit out still.

Have you considered any improvements in team communication? Currently, it's not very effective. Also you have to stand still to use squad commands. At least let us use the commands while moving

There are some improvements coming in Season 8 that will help with map markers & team communication, and we're always mindful of how we can make these areas better.

Why is it when I farm a brick wall it gives me wood?

Not all things end up resource tagged perfectly. Sounds like a bug we should address.

why cant the Net UI display the actual ping?

We have a lengthy technical blog coming up on the topic. The quick summary is that there are two measurements of latency worth considering.

There is internet latency and what we want the ping to display. This required some changes to our code to accurately factor out client and server frame times.

The other is client / server roundtrip that takes framerate into account and is a measure of latency of action to reaction. It gets complicated quickly as we are able to do some tricks to reduce this below that number for certain actions.

Are you planning on keeping the drift board or will it just be a limited time thing?

We're working on a new single-occupancy vehicle and aren't quite sure how they'll play together. The Driftboard's reception has been really positive though, so we're actively discussing how long it should stick around.

will you fix the email system so i can complete 2fa?

We recently had three distinct issues with token delivery latency via email and are taking steps to ensure this is not a recurring theme. We are working on additional mechanisms for token delivery. Currently supported are email and Google Authenticator.

Do you have a persistent issue with 2FA?

Are there any plans for a 'classic' mode? For example: - Original map - Only original weapons and mechanics

We tried to capture this vibe with our Unvaulted (Soon to be renamed Classic) LTM. We enjoy having the limited and old item set. It’s unlikely that we’ll have this available with the old map and old tuning values but glad folks are enjoying the LTM when it’s around.
