Thanks for bringing this to our attention! We were able to resolve this issue. :)

That was not intentional, fixed now.
What is the ping supposed to represent at the moment, if there were no bug? I've been assuming it's how long a packet (ie: I fired this weapon!) it takes for the client to send it, and get the server's response (ie: You fired this weapon! And you suck and missed!)?
Or is it discrete, top priority ping/pong messages (IRC..), and the ping displayed is the measurement between when the ping and pong messages were sent/received ?
It is supposed to represent network latency but client / server frame rate is not being subtracted properly in all cases.
Alas, I do think the one I got was fake, it was mildly like this but had asked for my email and password immediately afterwards and what console I played on. It also had a different color every page.
That does sound dodgy! We will never ask for your password in a survey.
I got this email back in season 4, I do believe it’s fake my dude
It is good to be on the lookout for fake surveys! However, I can confirm this one is real.
We send this out to a representative sample of players and ask that people don't share the links as each link is unique for that person.
last tournament epic had https://www.twitch.tv/forniteactionfeed which was basically the killfeed on a separate stream. I hope we can get that again.
My plan was to have this available as a Twitch extension that could be overlaid onto the main feed, but I ended up having to fix a bunch of other stuff during the time I was going to develop that. Us putting it onto a separate stream was the backup plan. Glad you liked it!
Can I have a link? Or is this a random selection thing?
Yes, our surveys go out to a representative sample of our population. Each link is made especially for the player receiving it, so we ask for folks to not share.

I keep getting ping 0. Can't possibly be accurate.
It is a bug.
That post only details how to merge two accounts that are unlinked, whereas in your original post you said to go ahead an link the accounts in the meantime. I already link my accounts, so how am I supposed to get my lost features?
We are currently making some changes to relax requirements to allow you to merge in this case. My apologies for that oversight.
Edit: Thanks so much to everyone who showed up! We loved being able to answer your questions and interact with all of you. We plan to do future AMAs for Battle Royale, as well as separate ones for Creative and Save the World.
Save the World AMA: Wednesday, February 27 from 4-5 PM ET
Creative AMA: Date TBD
Season 8 Launches on Thursday, February 28. See you there!
