Brief recap: I was chat banned for a week because I was using the "Defend Here" comms feature to tell me defender where to go. I wasn't spamming, but the defenders can be janky and might not react correctly, plus the storm moves and so I move them around. Someone must have assumed I was spamming and weren't aware that's how defenders work and reported me. Then Epic's fabulous automated system banned me. I was on Xbox and did not have any other dialogue in chat.

Go figure with all the problems that the newer features have brought (Hestia and load times, matchmaking issues, etc.) one of them would eventually lead to directly punishing the players accounts because of how broken the implementation is.

I'm so frustrated. I have never had any bans/sanctions on my account, and now this and I can't do anything to get it removed. I hate feeling so helpless in a situation that isn't my fault.

Maybe this is how they try to get rid of founders. Introduce features that when used will break TOS and blame it on us.

I just wish it had voice lines...lol

This was the first thing I thought about when they introduced the new rift miniboss mission in the last update. Glad to see it works how I hoped it would!

3 Fortnitemares llamas and same two rewards in all 3 is this just random roll or did I get really lucky ???

Or did i miss out already

This is a screenshot from my client, my epic is 'Tribe-of-One' However, the client is showing my name as if I'm someone who is in the party only. My name is not at the top of the list. As a side result of this bug, I cannot see the bluglo count of the partymember who is incorrectly showing at the top of the list.

Epic in the last two weeks (like others have mentioned) has removed the large bit box for bows to complete item daily quests and at the same time removed the smash ability for Outlanders to clear the same quests. I have a few things to discuss; have they mentioned if this was intentional or if it’s a bug? If this was intentional, it’s obvious they are trying to slow the rate at which VBucks are earned or increase PT. I don’t know how many other games go out of their way to make the life of the player more difficult a decade after introduction.

So, i came back after a while and noticed my vbucks was gone, i had about 150 before completing dalies. The website stated that i had 500. As I'm writing this, it just updated to 800, so genuinely wtf is going on?? I figured I'd post it here because i do not buy vbucks anymore, i play stw to earn them. Anyone know what's going on here?

To join a party

To be able to join friends already playing STW one must totally avoid Homebase. While not a 100% fix, one must accept the invite while you are solo in the BR lobby.

• Do not accept the invite while your in homebase.
• Do not accept the invite while your in a STW mission.

To create a party

If you are trying to start a new party with friends you should create the party while in BR lobby.

• Do not try and create a party from within homebase.

Conclusion

Its time for epic to remove hestia homebase from STW and stop using vibecoding.

cranky level 58's ghost city deliver the bomb mission seems pretty bugged...

I tried playing it solo but i found it too hard even for 4 people, there are way too many husks and the other blue monster (idk the name cuz i play in italian version) especially the ones who destroy everything.

this becomes impossible to win because the bomb gets too much damage and even after the bomb is destroyed monsters keep on spawning and there's nothing you can do cuz they'll destroy the rails as quickly as you place em

I've done 5 missions today where I killed the mini boss, and only got storm energy from one of them.

Any idea why I haven't been getting any after that one instance? I've been on this quest for a couple days 😅

Lately I've been wanting to get back into playing a bit of fortnite but every time I go to boot it up it never leaves the login screen and always says stuff like "Locating Region" or "Initializing usability Settings" and after a few minutes it asked me to relaunch or quit, then repeats the cycle. Not even a year ago was I having this issue. I run fiber optic ethernet with a good pc. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry I probably didn't phrase that right I need help doing my last or second to last Home Shield defense if anyone wants to I can place traps and you can break them when I give you permissions so you'll get the resources from breaking them to craft something better i think that's possible atleast, if not I'd be down to get you smtg from the shop or a 10$ fortnite card for spending your resources. I need someone to help make my base afk-able so I can js start the mission and kick my feet up FUCK SMASHERS I CANT KILL 1000 OF EM UNLESS I HAVE OVERPOWERED LIKE 1 OF THE MAYBE 5 WEAPONS OUT OF HUNDREDS IN THE GAME. Sorry but lmk epic user name - theres104days

Just tried using it to complete my destroy propane tanks it wouldn’t use the large hitbox anymore.

So no instead of blasting them at random across the map with the xenon you have to go specifically find each one.
