Are clingers getting changed at all?
8.00 has a fix for the issue where you'll take damage from your own clinger through walls if you're within the explosion radius.
I’m an audio engineer so I’ve always been curious how you do your audio. Is all the Foley recorded in house? How big is the team?
There are around 20 audio designers and engineers at Epic. We use a mixture of in-house and external foley and sound effects, and make all our own emote music. :)
What's your guys' favorite in game event you've held currently? Doesn't need to be related to story.
Nothing matched the chaos and awe inspiring moments of the Rocket for me personally! But gotta say I love keeping it Mello.
BTW Happy Cake Day!
How long do you guys playtest a weapon before adding it to BR?

Are there any plans to reintroduce the storm damaging structures? I have always thought that slow continous damage to structures in the storm would be

Do you guys miss prison as much as i do?
Yes
Do you have any plans to bring back bouncers?
Not at the moment.
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.
Does Epic still use AWS?
Predominantly, yes.
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.
