Battle Royale - State of Development V3

Post

Playing With Friends


Duos and Squads are best when you can play with friends! We realize that our existing social features make it hard to make and/or find friends. We are working on making it easier to play again with people you had a great game with, make new friends, and import your friends lists from other social networks.

Certain regions don’t have the Duos playlist (we hear you Oceania!) and we continue to monitor population per platform and region. We are working on a system that is going to allow us to schedule Duos during popular hours so we can offer the mode while maintaining a good experience.

Team Killing


We dropped the ball on addressing team killing. We take action based on player reports, but the system isn’t straightforward to use, and doesn’t let you know whether we took action or not. This needs improvement. Last week we started casting a wider net to catch current and past team killers and issued numerous warning...

The Future of Save the World

Post
Fortnite has grown quick, fast and in a hurry! We’re humbled and happy to welcome so many of you into Fortnite. The community started as a tiny seed of online testers, now with your help it has blossomed into so much more. You’ve had lots of great suggestions and feedback about Fortnite and we’re listening! 

Here’s what you’re saying about RNG:
 

"Everything is RNG gated including heroes you can play. When you finally do get something decent, RNG determines the bonus stats as well. So you have RNG (llamas) upon RNG (loot from llamas) upon RNG (bonus/random stats on loot)" - /u/Dustin1280


We are delivering features that ease that feeling and increase your reward choices. We've added more quests, more storm rewards for evolution ingredients and more activities that easily allow you to get what you want. And guess what, we want to do more!

Here’s what you can expect soon:

What can I say, I love to build...

I think it might've just counted 2 games which is weird considering I've played over 200 games and can tell you with at least 1% certainty that I've built far more than that.

you had to have a minimum of 10 games to be sent, so it should have summed them all, though obviously something must have gone wrong :) Though as a side note, these stats were compiled about 2 weeks ago, so they don't have stats more recent than that included if you just started playing right before the cut off?

I don't believe I opted out, but I never confirmed my email when I created the epic account. Will I ever get one of these if I confirmed it now?

Yes as long as you didn't opt out, the email doesn't need to be verified. I checked this morning and they are still being sent out in batches, so it should show up eventually!

If we have your email on file and you haven't opted out, you should get one. If you opted out of emails when you made your account, you probably wouldn't get one. I'm 95% sure :) The company we use to send the emails handles that for us.

Probably not this round, we generated all the lists and data last week. But we plan one continuing this and getting more interesting stats in! So there will be more in the future!

If you played at least 10 games you should get one. There were a lot to send, so they may still be going out :)

1.8.1 Patch Notes November 2nd Release

Comment

Originally posted by MikeFromSuburbia

Solid update but why no sniper rifle sensitivity change? Still unbearably slow on PS4 controllers.

We're going to have improvements for this live with 1.9.

We're changing the defaults to something we find acceptable and that solves the issues that players are seeing now.

We also have console aim assist improvements coming soon as well.

FNBR Performance Update

Post
    /u/ on News - Thread - Direct
Performance matters, and while we’ve been steadily chipping away at improving things, we’ve taken a few steps back here and there and generally aren’t where we want to be long term.

From a player’s point of view, the manifestation of performance-related issues are:

Client
  • Low framerate -> increased input latency, large delta between frames
  • Display latency -> increased input latency
  • Hitches (abnormally long frame time) -> frozen display followed by fast-forward
  • Inconsistent framerate -> hard to aim

Server
  • Low player connection update rate / framerate -> increased ping
  • Hitches (abnormally long frame time) -> “rubber banding”

Network
  • Packet loss -> “rubber banding”
  • Connection bandwidth saturation -> “rubber banding”
  • High ping  -> “rubber banding”
  • Packet bursting (especially on wifi) -> “rubber banding”

Some services going offline in Battle Royale

Comment

For a little additional context here:

  • The impact on the main backend service that got thrashed today is basically 0/12/72 ratio for Solo/Duos/Squads respectively.
  • If we disabled Duos instead of Squads, we most likely would have increased the problem, due to people hopping over to Squads mode and we would have knocked things back over.
  • We are hoping to have Squads re-enabled in the next few hours.
  • We are going to swap back to Solos and Squads only in OCE/Asia/Brazil for now. This allows the most play flexibility and we are constantly evaluating for when we can have all 3 modes enabled in each region as these regions continue to grow.
