Your cool cyborg gremlin, fighting seizures, aphasia, and dysphonia. I'm not the techie you're looking for.
"Too Much Intelligence (TMI). Too Little Time."
During his return to Fortnite, Ninja explains why he'll NEVER play ARC Raiders again 😬
"I'm never playing that game again. Embark Studios does not deserve my money. They killed their game; all that's left is cheaters, streamsnipers, & losers."
We've made some balance adjustments to weapons in Battle Royale, take a look at what's changed below:
🏹 Exotic Recon Bow projectile hitbox has been increased, making shots easier to land
🎯 Pulse Pistols retain more of their damage at range and reload a bit faster
🔻 Overdrive Pulse Rifle clip size has been slightly reduced
🔺 Twin Mag SMG clip size has been slightly increased
🔫 Hammer Revolver now deals slightly more damage
🔻 Assault Rifle headshot multiplier has been reduced
👉 Finger Guns deal slightly less damage
What's the point of playing @Fortnite if they don't take any action on players who fail to follow Fortnite ToS and EULA? Why won't they ban players for cheating? Are they this desperate to kill Fortnite for everyone?!?
A note on our work to combat viewbotting, from CEO Dan Clancy:
There’s been a lot of discussion recently about viewbotting on Twitch, and I wanted to share an update on our enforcement efforts.
Viewbotting is bad for our business. We don't benefit from it, and we believe it harms the creator ecosystem overall. However, effectively combatting viewbotting is challenging. As we deploy updates to our real-time detection algorithms, viewbotting companies quickly respond with updates to avoid detection. Also, our detection systems must be precise to ensure that legitimate viewers are appropriately counted.
Today, we’re introducing a new enforcement type that we plan to roll out over the next few weeks. For channels identified as persistently viewbotting, we will apply a cap to the streamer’s CCV for a fixed period of time, on all of the Twitch surfaces. The cap will be based upon historical data regarding that creator’s non-viewbotted traffic. Repeated violations will result in longer penalties. Streamers will be notified when an enforcement is applied, along with the duration of the penalty, and can appeal through the appeals portal.
While streamers will be notified, we will not make a follow-on announcement when we begin issuing these enforcements, and will not publicly share details about when and where these enforcements are applied. Unfortunately, providing details simply makes it easier for companies to work around our interventions.
We believe this approach will help us make meaningful progress against viewbotting. We will continue refining our systems and expand when we apply these enforcements over time.
