@JustTeddii hi ted! one of the major complaints the OG community at large has right now is the lighting, i know you're usually sent more gameplay-related issues but we all think this really need fixing night time got *some* improvements but the game looks nothing like C1S7 right now, (1/2) https://t.co/N9rtORgFxG

@JustTeddii Could ya'll bring back the consistent LTM rotations we had in chapter 1-2, it was such a fun and smart way to keep the game fresh, while maintining Fortnite's core gameplay. Even if there were no updates having a fun rotating LTM still gave you a reason to get on and play https://t.co/TjGo5mZkEG

@JustTeddii Sort out SBMM. I've been a LONG time player of Fortnite. Back when you used to have to buy STW, before BR was a thing. I haven't touched the game since the SBMM update. Can't play with my wife and most of my friends because of how intense it has become, and wont bother till fixed

@JustTeddii a VERY easy solution for this is enabling the time of day manager named "TODM_BR_S7," that's what the game used back then and what OG can perfectly use now with lumen support! thank you if you read :)

I appreciate the team looking into issues, I only ask the team can fix these main issues happening - Ping / Ping Routing - NA East and NA West are being routed to Central Servers causing higher ping and disadvantages in casual game modes - SBMM - Casuals are not having fun with the new SBMM changes that were made on Christmas - Audio / Visual Issues in Reload , Can't hear or see enemies - Controller Building Bug - Building has a delay causing builds not to place causing many errors for Controller

@JustTeddii Fix the bugs and fix the gameplay. The UI is messed up, friends list (can't click on a name and it scrolls by itself), the locker, emote wheel, discovery, and much more. Fix the game before trying to push out these seasons. One thing I'll also say is to slow down on the collabs.

You and the team have been doing an incredible job. Thank you for hearing everyone out, and I've been absolutely loving Chapter 7 so far! Here are some of the biggest issues with Fortnite in my opinion. 1. Bots need to be optional. If people want to play bot lobbies, give them that option. Have a toggle in the settings or something for the people who would gladly wait longer for a lobby full of real people. 2. I know you guys are supportive of leaks, but they're out of control. It is literally Fortnite's biggest problem and the reason why everyone says the game lost its "charm". We used to have to log on to experience the new content, and it was a blast. Now everyone knows about it prior to updates going live, and there's little incentive to log on. This also majorly hurts the storyline (which is sad because the story is super interesting right now). I don't want to know what the plan with the Dark Voyager is. We shouldn't know everything that's coming. It also majorly ruins the spectacle of events. 3. Competitive and casual need separate loot pools. I feel like this is something the entire community agrees on, and I've always been confused as to why Epic is so against it. This would allow more fun and experimentation with pubs (again, bringing that "charm" back), while keeping competitive players happy. And for those who want a super balanced game, they can also switch to competitive. Again, you guys have been doing a phenomenal job! These are the biggest issues with the game in my opinion, and it's something that has been hindering my experience for a long time. Thank you for your post.

@JustTeddii Please look into where ZB PUBLIC Matches, not ranked, are being routed too. East is selected but it is routing me to Central anyway, it's frustrating. West also doesn't work. This causes more lag/desync for me and those I'm playing with. Multiple Proofs provided. Same session. https://t.co/Pf4AA1IsHl

@JustTeddii This is awesome! I feel the game has changed just too much. I feel it would bring players back if you: 1. Bring back consistent LTM's 2. Not try to have every single person/show in the game 3. Bring back OG-type-loot pools(2 AR, 2 shotgun, 2 smg, 2 short range, 2 long range)

@JustTeddii This might be controversial but I seriously think we desperately need the LTM rotation back. Getting a different one every 3 - 4 days was insanely good. It made the game feel fresh and so fun. In times where you get the seasonal burn out from the main BR they were a great option. https://t.co/W7F3g0DxsY
