Do not know where else to go [False Ban]

Posted: 22 Jun 2018 02:03 PM PDT

Early May, my account was hacked by an individual who proceeded to spend over $200 dollars on vbucks, in a panic, I called my mastercard provider and they were able to terminate any more usage on the card, they then told me to contact epic games and request a refund.

One week later, Epic took care of me, 2fa was enabled, and authenticators were added to all my emails, everything was smooth sailing again and I was back and playing the game. Later that week my new mastercard arrived in the mail and to celebrate, I purchased 7500 vbucks.

The following day, I was banned under error AS-18006 (May 28th, Fraud, misconduct, or request for account closure).

I have tried everything, from posting on fortnitebr (mods just delete all epic support posts now), to emailing epic games, posting on their forums, and even trying to message gm's here on reddit. It has been nearly a month and I have not heard anything from the 'further review' team. I really do not know where else to go.

Epic, I am more than willing to provide any information to prove my innocence, please, just give me the chance.

Edit: Account name is

ΤripleΤurbo (special case T's, just copy paste)

Epic. Thank you

Posted: 22 Jun 2018 12:20 PM PDT

The new blog was worth the wait. being able to research the things you want is a good step away from the RNG llama system. Canny being completed along with 2 new enemies is amazing and finally, the new mode sounds interesting, shorter waves and mini-bosses implemented along with a prebuild fort sounds like a mode the more combat based players can enjoy. 5.0 sounds like it will be a big step for StW. Best of luck and thanks for this amazing news :)

After 60,000 wood and 8 hours of farming my Stonewood tier 3 wood pyramid is complete...

Posted: 22 Jun 2018 02:07 PM PDT

So just seen this on Twitter (via Eurogamer) Could this be a prelude to the full game?

Posted: 22 Jun 2018 07:33 AM PDT

I'm sick of under-leveled people in Canny Valley.

Posted: 22 Jun 2018 06:56 AM PDT

This needs a solution ASAP. Lots of Stonewood/Plank players in Canny because people taxi them. It's unbearable.

How ironic

Posted: 22 Jun 2018 05:29 PM PDT

Last week or so, half of this sub was in despair thinking that StW was dying and BR would remain.

Now we will be getting a lot of QoL improvements and overall stuff we've been asking for while, a lot of very welcome changes and CANNY QUESTLINE!! Pretty much proved that they haven't forgotten us lol

Meanwhile, Epic changed some stuff in BR and announced more possible changes with mats and everyone went crazy saying that BR will die and stuff like that (nothing worth of that reaction imo but people went crazy anyway)

Be wary of defenders and low levels

Posted: 22 Jun 2018 05:22 PM PDT

When doing a mission and you have placed a defender be careful that lower levels don't swap your defenders guns out for their own so they can keep your better gun.

Happened to somebody else. Just a warning that this may be happening and you may not know.

Can we all agree this should be permanent ban worthy?

Posted: 21 Jun 2018 11:05 PM PDT

Playing a STW mission and the kids are trading, I tell them the evacuation shelter 2nd phase is starting and I need help, I've built walls,etc,etc. They threaten me and call me names, I tell them I reported them and then they start editing the walls the entire mission and mining my traps. I barely won the mission with 108 health left in the base due to my practicing of editing skills but seriously though can something be done about the Sabotaging game players where if they don't get what they want like materials/weapons they ruin the game for everyone else by being rude. Not only that but the AFK Grinders who also play dumb along with people who force me to do the objective while they trade halfway across the map. (Canny struggles) Everyday I feel a little closer to insanity and not wanting to play STW because of how these players aren't banned off yet. I got this game 2 weeks ago with a PL of 53 already and I never had a game where I didn't have a leech/afk/ignoring/trading/threatening type of player in the lobby.

State of Development for those at work

Posted: 22 Jun 2018 12:53 PM PDT

SAVE THE WORLD STATE OF DEVELOPMENT - JUNE 2018

By Save the World Dev Team

Hey Fortnite friends,

Let's take a look into the development process and some things that are ongoing and currently in the works for Save the World.

PLAYER REPORTING

Save the World is great with others, but a few bad eggs can hurt the experience. We recently implemented v1 of our true Player Reporting feature to give you the ability to responsibly flag improper conduct.

Reports are coming in and we're analyzing the types of behaviors that are major problems for the community. Starting next week, you'll receive an in-game message when we take action against one of the players you reported. That way you'll know the system is working and that you are contributing to make Fortnite a better place to play.

Not every report will generate a penalty, and the reporting system is geared toward serial offenders. Penalties will range from warnings to escalating bans up to a permanent ban.

We'll continue to refine this feature with your help.

CANNY VALLEY

We are happy to announce that the Canny Valley campaign, as well as a new biome, are landing in the near future!

We'll deliver the first act of Canny Valley shortly after v5.0. Canny Valley will take you through the Arid parts of the Fortnite world, with many new and unique places to explore.

The story will answer many questions - was Dr. Vinderman a hero or a villain? What happened to him? Who is "the real Ray", and where is she? What really is the Storm, and why did it happen? You'll also see Lars and his band, "Steel Wool", Dennis, Penny and all the other characters you love, along with iconic locations and enemies.

HEROES & SCHEMATICS

Do you enjoy min-maxing on your way to defeating the storm? We've introduced new features that make it easier for you to zero in on particular rewards or configurations, and we have more on the way.

COLLECTION BOOK RESEARCH AND RECRUITMENT

We're adding in an extension to the Collection Book that will empower you to directly acquire specific heroes and schematics.

Had your eye on a particular Constructor? Now you can spend Flux and Training Manuals to recruit them with a new menu option on the Collection Book slot representing that hero. There will be some exceptions (such as Founder's weapons, event items, etc.), but the majority of heroes, weapon schematics, and trap schematics will be eligible for research, and it doesn't matter if you already have the item or not. You'll receive a new level 1 copy of the item, and schematics will start with a random set of valid perks. We're hoping this feature will come online in the v4.5 update.

COLLECTION BOOK UNSLOTTING

In update 4.5 we're also planning to provide a mechanism to unslot items from the Collection Book for a nominal fee of 20 V-Bucks to deter exploitive behavior. When an item is removed from the book, the Collection Book XP it granted is removed too. This will not, however, result in you losing levels or rewards you have already earned. You'll just have to "pay back" this lost XP before the book will continue advancing. Items removed from the book will be restored at level, and with all their perks intact.

CONTROLS

BUILDER PRO

We've gotten a lot of requests for the Builder Pro control scheme in Save the World and we're happy to say it's on the way. We're aiming for it to land in the 4.5 update.

MODE-SPECIFIC KEYBINDINGS

After some of the more recent keybinding changes, we also saw a fair amount of requests for the ability to separate out Save the World and Battle Royale keyboard key bindings. We're targeting 4.5 for this addition.

MISSION AND ENEMY VARIETY

We've had a lot of requests for increased variety in both missions and enemy types and we continue to prototype in this area. We'll have more to share in the future, but you can look forward to at least two brand-new enemy types in the next few months. In the short-term, a more powerful variant of the Shielder will be coming very soon, followed by his new friend the Zapper!

CHALLENGE THE HORDE

In v5.0 we're going to re-introduce "Challenge the Horde".

WHAT IS CHALLENGE THE HORDE?

It's a mode focused on getting into combat quickly - drop into a map with a pre-built base and battle against waves of enemies, but with limited time to craft weapons, build structures, and lay traps. Challenge the Horde will be the focus of our v5.0 event, and the primary source of event tickets.

The mode will come with several improvements:

REWORKED DIFFICULTY PROGRESSION

Horde hexes will now unlock based on both Campaign progress and completing previous tiers of Horde combat. This lets you jump into Horde at a difficulty you feel is appropriate, and then push up into higher difficulties of Horde without having to further advance your campaign.

REWORKED COMBAT

Playing a full set of 10 waves was a significant time investment last time around, so we're looking to shorten the number and length of waves. The Horde map itself is also getting reworked, featuring the new Arid biome, and we're bringing the four bases closer together.

MINI-BOSSES

We want to integrate Mini-Bosses this time around - Mini-Bosses will start spawning in during higher difficulty encounters at a randomized rate. We also wanted to reduce the randomness of the waves as a whole so you'll be better prepared before the next wave starts.

NEW REWARDS

We're adding better rewards! These rewards consist of gold, event tickets, and perk materials and the amount awarded has been increased since the last event.

FORTNITE'S FIRST BIRTHDAY

We're approaching Fortnite's first birthday since entering early access! More details to come soon, but you can expect a special anniversary Llama with some nostalgic goodies. Save room for cake!

CONCLUSION

We have a lot of exciting things in store for Save the World this year, including many we've not covered yet. We'll be working to bring mission and enemy variety, such as the new Super Shielder enemy, as well as refining the core game experience. The game and player base continues to grow, far exceeding our initial expectations back when we started this crazy journey, and we can't wait for the adventure ahead!

Before you all go nuts, remember what Canny is like right now.

Posted: 22 Jun 2018 12:31 PM PDT

So the story for Canny is coming soon. Sweet! But let's not forget how frustrating it is to play in CV. As of now, I can hardly join any level mission in Canny without there being at least one level 20 player there. And that's when I'm lucky to only get with ONE lower level. Most games I get put with two lvl 20's and one lvl 12.

I'm mad disappointed at the lack of acknowledgement about low levels in Canny and Twine from the State of Development post.

Are we supposed to report these people and have that be the solution? What do we report them for? I normally report them for Exploiting (exploiting the system and getting to an area that they haven't unlocked yet?), but will that solve anything? And what if they didn't exploit the system and are just insanely low level with these areas unlocked? Either way, they still can't contribute if they are too low level for the mission, so are we just supposed to put up with it?

I don't want to bring anyone down TOO much, but don't let all the hype make you forget about this one major issue that they did NOT address :(

EDIT: I'm very glad to find out that they are at least acknowledging the issue and are in the process of finding a solution! Low levels being in higher level missions is still going to be a thing for a while, and that sucks. But it's good news that they are working on it! This post can be disregarded now. I might just delete everything here.

Option to turn off Camera Shake

Posted: 22 Jun 2018 10:10 AM PDT

The Canera Shake really hurts my head. It makes it very difficult to play. I have suffered through it for a very long time, but can you please add an option to turn it off.

Remove proximity requirement for caches on level 5/6 chests

Posted: 22 Jun 2018 05:32 PM PDT

Epic, please remove the proximity requirement for caches to drop on level 5/6 chests. Whenever I find one I call out to other players to 'Come here, level 5/6 chest/cache. Need to be near to get cache.' I have probably done this about 50 times since caches were introduced and out of 50 times only once did all 4 players get the cache. Even then we practically had to beg the 4th person who thought only the person who opened it would get cache and thought we were taunting him.

It sucks that no one seems to understand how these work. But what's worse is that the other 49 times what winds up happening is the first person to show up immediately opens the chest. When I scold them and re-explain how caches work I've gotten about 2 'my bad', 8 'oops', and ZERO 'sorry'.

Wouldn't it be better if I could just open it immediately without feeling like a dick and then throw down a Loot marker and let everyone know there's a cache there? This game needs to do a better job of incentivizing altruistic, not selfish behavior.
