I can say with 100% that i have never banned anyone in this subreddit. This subreddit is run by individuals that are not affiliated with Epic Games. When i worked at Epic, we would meet with them and they would help us identify key post and such. But any bans were and are handled by them and no one at Epic.

I’m new to the game, only started in April. But, I’ve been playing games for 15 years. I went through the recent awful Overwatch crumble, and I coped my way through halo infinite for 18 months.

Man, you are a great community manager. I see you in Beast’s twitch chat addressing peoples concerns. You’re here on Reddit calming the waters. It shocked me to see the players talking with you so casually and tagging you with bugs.

None of these other community managers are like that. It’s all corpo speak and deflection of peoples concerns.

Honestly this makes me really sad. I love STW. Wish I would have started playing it sooner. Thanks for everything you’ve done, all the hard work you put it. Best of luck in the future. I hope you are able to find the next great game that’s being developed, and give it the same help and passion you brought to STW.

Exactly what you said in regard to having that casual conversation was always my goal. Im a gamer first and formost and was an Epic employee second.

I knew from my time being in communites how i wanted CMs to interact and i was able to claim that stake. I appreciate the words as i did the best i could within the limits that were placed on my by Epic.

I have a government twitter/x acct ans then my own personal Twitter acct, on my personal I don't have to identify as government employee. I find it hard epic games requires or forces you to do that on a personal page. As it might be and I'm not here to argue, but a response simply saying if you'd like to chat with me about said issues I can be reached here vs just ignoring me. By the way I'm @BlueDotUSMC on X yeah I was that guy. FYI. Have a good day sir.

This is just a situation where we need to put each other in the other's shoes. I understand your frustration in not getting a, hey chat here reply, but I hope you can see my POV. If i replied to every @ or DM I got on twitter to say that, I might as well just be using my Twitter for work then personal.

This really turns out to be a no win situation in a lot of cases as you can see, if i ignore I'm a bad person but if i reply then I'm just setting the expectation that its normal and what i want. Hence the choice to just not react on social.

Just to clarify as well, this doesnt mean I'm not seeing what you posted, if it s a bug or something major, i typically go through my normal reporting channels like i would any issues, i just don't ignore what I've seen and pretend it doesnt exist just because it came from twitter. I just don't actively reply.

Wow, so you answer people here on reddit but I reached out to you on twitter several times over the course of two weeks and never heard back from you.... Take the community manager part off your twitter profile yo. Nothing community about it. Since you can't even talk with the community on issues with the game.

I used to have a pinned post explaining that my Twitter/X is personal and not Fortnite or Epic games related. I know plenty of other CMs from other games use their Twitter/X as a form of communication with players but I decided a few years ago that I wouldn't go that route. This was done for a variety of reasons that I wont get specific on, but your question on why I don't use Twitter/X is valid since its "normal" behavior and deserves a response.

In regards to my title being in my bio, I need to identify myself as an Epic employee, so you'll see something similar on most of my social channels regardless of them being used for personal reasons vs business.

Yes, Manger.

Spelling is overrated IMO

No matter what database i am playing at, this issue happens.

Gotcha, so like i mentioned to the other player it will be best if i share this along with logs from the PC to help the devs and others along to find the root cause.

You can find how to get logs here: https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/fortnite-c5719335176219/technical-support-c5719372265755/how-do-i-gather-logs-for-fortnite-a5720385466267

Then send the logs over an email to: epic-community@epicgames.com like this

How often does this happen for you? When this happens again could you grab you PC game logs and send them over too me? For game logs, they capture an entire play session, so if you're playing for a couple of hours and iit happened in the middle of the playing, a time estimate is helpful when the team looks at the logs to see if anything shows up.

Is this as of this morning's patch or yesterday before? Is it still like this now?

Sorry for any confusion i might have caused! The new venture season starts during our normal reset of 8pm ET. Just getting the notes out ahead of time!

The Hexsylvania Venture Season has returned in the Save the World v26.00 hotfix. This Venture Season sees the return of Dungeons, the Clip’s Nightmare and Wolfy Business questlines, and more!

Read more here: v26.00 Hotfix Update

As a general note, these patch notes cover content that will be available in the game during the v26.10 update and v26.10 HF update. This means we'll be posting bug fixes and other notes here on Reddit and not creating a new blog for the v26.10 update that would normally be done.

Why not just add every BR weapon we don't have in STW currently? u/FreightTrainUSA can you maybe bring this up with the dev team?

I just want to be honest with you here, this is unlikely to happen. There are certain weapons, heroes, and other items that are in consideration to be released but all take time. This isn't as simple as copy/pasting an entire item from BR into STW.
