Anonymous: I had two tickets to the Super Bowl. My dad was supposed to go with me. He passed away suddenly a week before the game. Everyone told me to sell the ticket. "It's worth $3,000!" I couldn't do it. I went to the stadium. I stood outside with a sign: "Free ticket. Must sit with me and tell me Dad jokes." People thought I was crazy. Then an older guy approached. He looked just like my dad. Flannel shirt. Kindly eyes. "I don't have a ticket," he said. "I just came to listen to the crowd. My son used to love football. He died in a car wreck last year." I handed him the ticket. "You're sitting in seat 101," I said. We sat together. We ate hot dogs. We told bad jokes. We cried a little. For three hours, I had a dad, and he had a son. Best game of my life.

@dummblond You and @flak are babies...wait till you turn 60!

Getting old is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. 10/10 don't recommend.

@theSiliconSiren @brockpierson “Reporting”

@brockpierson The first RTS I ever played! Tons of RA multiplayer with my Dad and his buddies. I was little and they didn’t go easy on me, so I got pretty good at the time 💛

Who else played this game?

@Wertandrew 80%....that might be high. Lot's of features don't work at all out of the box and it takes months to fix them. Sometimes they don't get fixed. Did they ever fix player movement devices?

3 reasons why creators and players are not happy with UEFN: 1) Epic's priorities are not to make the tools better, but to release more tools instead >> everything 80% works 2) Epic thinks that they can make the perfect discovery algorithm, when in reality they need to let the players customize their discovery >> algo exploitation for spam 3) Updates to tools are never for artists, just for engineers >> content source is only through directly referencing successful games These 3 reasons prevent innovation from ever happening inside the ecosystem.

Hey @fncreate here is a one you missed. They currently have slot 1 in NEW.

why is the New tab so loong

@Kryten_ Wondering that myself. @fncreate is this by design or a bug?

@pac33133 @ryzeeefv @CWBob100 @FNCreate Exactly 👍

@ryzeeefv @CWBob100 @ZeroShotBob @FNCreate No we cant, deleting spam maps can only bring more players and playtime, maybe they have players because they are getting tabs bc of spam but a well done map with potential could have that spot and get a bunch of players and playtime

Look at that! When there are less Spam maps the NEW category gets a lot smaller (29-->12). This gives REAL creators a chance! Thank you @FNCreate

@ryzeeefv @FNCreate Huh? That makes no sense.

@ZeroShotBob @FNCreate bro less maps = less people playing

@hooshen_ I don't do materials, I have @PixelandPoly_FN for that. But if I was learning how to do materials I would definately be #2. After some time I would be #1. Baby steps.... 🤣

Be honest… are you material #1 or material #2? 🤔

@FNCreate AWESOME! THANK YOU!

We’ve taken down 5,497 islands since we began enforcing 1.9.1 yesterday Still work to be done 🔨

@Giddybrommetje @FNCreate Agreed...it does appear to be getting better.

Really happy to see discovery slowly returning to a cleaner place with more chances for everyone. @FNCreate really took a nice first step here. Not there yet but its shaping up. Keep it up 👍

Agree to a certain extent, but not saying anything and not showing improvement in say the NEW tab today is not a good start. They could easily put some eyes on it for today and start removing maps and show some improvement. There is spam in there right now in slot 2 and 5 from same creator. But as we all know lots of rules are ignored and allowed to be broken. So hopefully this is not another toothless solution.

@ZeroShotBob @FNCreate Tbh them not saying what they're doing is probably better...

Hey @FNCreate I asked nicely yesterday what the procedure is and you did not respond. May we please get an answer today since it is now D-Day on the Spam Rule. Should we report or will you start monitoring Discovery MANUALLY on your own? If you are using automated tools they are not working. Please advise the community.

Lots of unhappy people today. Shrinkflation of Fortnite vBucks coming on March 19th. I think @Fortnite might be in full damage control mode. Lots of images of cancelled CREW passes today.

@Zxyowo Well PC hardware and server space is drastically more expensive in the last 8 months. RAM up 4x, Storage costs up 2X. And Epic has a big AWS bill.

I'm genuinely wondering what costs increased (and how much) to end up with prices worse than Fortnite's 2017 release... 💀 UEFN is NOT half of Fortnite's payout, it's still ~20%. I want a reason not just a: "It increased, so you get less" without any further explanations 😭

@benz4ducks @Richytoons Yeah all the Spam creators!

@Richytoons The solution is obvious.. Epic just needs to layoff a bunch of map creators!

Ahhh, it's one of those days where UEFN is at fault for everything bad happening to Fortnite.

@GOAT57048969001 @FNCreate It doesn't say there is a spam filter tomorrow. It says in the coming weeks they will roll out new tools to prevent it from being published. What about what is already published? Spam is not going to disappear tomorrow automatically. I think I read the post. 😉

@ZeroShotBob @FNCreate The spam filter tomorrow will be enable, and there is already people asking for what they have to do?, you have to report nothing, it will automatcly detected, you didnt readed the post?

Hello @FNCreate, tomorrow the new rule against spam goes into effect. Who is enforcing it? Are you proactively looking or is the community supposed to report it? Thank you in advance!
