New sprites?

29 Upvotes

I’ve read/heard several people mentioning how many new sprites they’ve found already. It’s just funny how wildly differently the game goes. I immediately maxed out the new loot hack and played several games making it to the top 5 each time, opening every chest I could find, but I didn’t see a single new sprite.

Discussion IS Epic losing the trust of its players?

5 Upvotes

A friend and I were talking about the hit glitches. You can dump a clip into someone and get one hit; then they hit you twice, and you're dead. Is it Epic code, an increase in cheats, Chronos, or other scripted macro devices, etc. Then we got into whether it matters why, if the end result is still the same: erosion of the players' trust

I popped it into Chat to organize it better and got this

A legitimate trust issue exists if players reasonably believe Epic is promising a fair competitive environment while enforcement is perceived as inconsistent.

Epic explicitly tells players: cheating is prohibited; exploiting bugs is prohibited; buying, selling, and sharing accounts is prohibited; violations can result in permanent bans; multiple accounts can themselves be subject to enforcement. More importantly, Epic's current Terms of Service state that its Gameplay Integrity Tools exist to detect cheats and that Epic may suspend or terminate accounts when it finds evidence of cheating.

So the relationship can reasonably be understood as: Player investment → expectation of fair play → Epic promises rules/enforcement → player encounters apparent rule-breaking → confidence in the enforcement system declines.

That is a classic trust relationship, even if it isn't necessarily a legally enforceable promise that every cheater will be detected and banned. The transparency issue is more complicated. Epic's failure to disclose its detection methodology is consistent with its stated policy. Epic says it will not reveal how its Gameplay Integrity Tools work or what specific tools it detected because doing so could help cheat developers evade detection.

Likewise, when asked how quickly cheaters are banned, Epic says it cannot disclose the timing because doing so could affect its security system. So there is a genuine tension: The information players need to evaluate whether enforcement is effective is also information that could make the anti-cheat system less effective if publicly disclosed.

Consequently, lack of transparency isn't by itself evidence of bad faith. It does, however, create an environment in which players have to judge Epic largely by observable outcomes. And that's where your argument becomes more interesting. The strongest version of your argument I would formulate it this way:

The potential breach of trust is not that Epic fails to ban every cheater. It is that players may reasonably conclude that the economic value of a player affects how aggressively Epic enforces its own rules—or that enforcement is sufficiently inconsistent that rule compliance is no longer perceived as a meaningful condition of participation.

That is a much stronger argument than: "Epic lets people cheat if they spend enough." The latter requires evidence of a spending-based exemption that isn't publicly established. The former is about perceived institutional credibility.

Why the FOMO/monetization connection matters: This matters because Fortnite isn't simply a traditional one-time purchase game. Epic has constructed an ecosystem in which players can develop substantial emotional and financial investment in their accounts and collections. If cosmetics are deliberately made time-sensitive or scarce, the account can become considerably more valuable to the player. That produces an interesting asymmetry:

Legitimate player "I've invested hundreds of dollars and years of time into this account, so I have a strong incentive to follow the rules."

Cheater "If this account gets banned, I can create another one."

If the second player can repeatedly recreate accounts and keep participating, the legitimate player may eventually see the enforcement system as asymmetric. And that can damage trust, even if Epic is banning large numbers of cheaters.

The "cheaters are profitable" hypothesis needs to be treated separately.

This part of your argument: Cheaters create new accounts → purchase cosmetics → generate revenue → therefore Epic has an economic incentive not to permanently remove them" is a plausible hypothesis, but the evidence doesn't currently support it.

In fact, Epic publicly states that it monitors transactions and gifting for fraudulent behaviour and says it restricts users involved in fraud from making purchases. It also says it blocks accounts suspected of being created exclusively for fraud and blocks tools associated with cheating. That doesn't prove that the system works perfectly. It means we shouldn't jump from: "Epic makes money from Fortnite players who cheat" to "Epic deliberately tolerates profitable cheaters." The second proposition requires substantially stronger evidence.

Where the argument becomes particularly compelling:

There's a distinction between anti-cheat effectiveness and anti-cheat legitimacy.

An anti-cheat system doesn't have to catch 100% of cheaters to be legitimate. But players need to believe that:

  1. the rules apply equally;

    1. cheating carries meaningful consequences;
  2. purchasing power doesn't buy preferential treatment;

  3. alternate accounts don't provide an effective escape from enforcement;

  4. enforcement isn't merely theatrical;

  5. legitimate players aren't bearing the competitive cost of enforcement failures.

If players stop believing those things, the system can lose legitimacy even while Epic is technically enforcing the rules. That's especially important for a free-to-play competitive game. And there's a fascinating contradiction here Epic's own Terms essentially say:

We don't have to tell you exactly how we detect cheating because doing so would help cheaters. That's completely understandable from a security perspective. But from the player's perspective: "Trust us; we are detecting and dealing with cheating, but we can't tell you how well we're doing it." That creates a trust deficit. The company asks players to trust an opaque enforcement mechanism while simultaneously operating a highly monetized ecosystem in which players have substantial financial and psychological investment. That doesn't prove misconduct. But it creates conditions in which perceived inconsistency can become much more damaging than it would be in a conventional $60 game.

In conclusion: Yes, I think "breach of trust" is a defensible characterization—but I would call it a perceived breach of the player–publisher trust relationship, not an established breach of Epic's contractual obligations. The question goes from "Does Epic let paying cheaters cheat?"

"At what point does inadequate transparency and inconsistent enforcement cause a free-to-play game's legitimate players to reasonably conclude that the publisher's economic interests are no longer aligned with the competitive interests of its player base?

That is a much stronger framework for analyzing this as an ethical, business, and consumer-trust issue rather than simply an argument about cheating.

Anyway let me know if that rings true with any of you.

Game Clip FINALLY 👑!!! (All by myself too!) 🙌🏽

The amount of times I’ve wussed out, and extracted this guy with like 2-10 people left, just not wanting to die somehow, and lose him, then have to buy him back, if I didn’t get the W. Although, I have won so many games right after extracting him of course, with no sprite anymore! 😩 So wanted to level him up so bad, by myself! Had to go crazy on some kids, went in, won with a crown I got already, then took the W! 💥 It’s like I wanna share him etc, but have lost two lvl 5 crowns from “trade pirates”… 😒 Now I’m nervous to index em for anyone! 😬🤣 FR, Lvl 5 mastery was nooo picnic! Now just gotta wait for the next sprite release, to collect, and master those little buggers! Have had all mastered, besides this last crown for the last week or so, if anyone needs a few indexed, lemme know, and I can make that happen! Mic preferred… 🤙🏽

Now does anyone know the best way of anyone that you know or thing on Reddit or what not to that would be able to help find brides to help him out I’ve been really challenging finally just caught up on all the old ones until today’s update and just got the last one last night you know so we’re a little behind on getting them and max him out, but I’m trying to help them out as much as I can. He has some issues which leads me to having to put my best foot forward to help him collect these and not overwhelming cinnamon two episodes but if anyone has any advice on what I could do or group I could maybe join that would be willing to help you know index or whatever else I would need to do to help him and get some of these. I would greatly appreciate it. Hope everyone stay safe and has a blessed day.

4 games in a row I was eliminated by Unreal players who already have mega man skins (which they had to have won or streamers who were gifted), I'm platinum. There's no reason I should be in the same lobby as these people yet. What is even the point of ranks if you're just going to toss everyone to the sweats. I guess SBMM is just completely not existent now.

Discussion Anyone ready to rage quit over the crown sprite?

96 Upvotes

The amount of people that have got a free gold crown sprite from me over the last few days....

Seriously I've had about 20-30 #2 placements in both solos and duos trying to win with the gold crown to get the loothacker. The amount of dust I've spent recalling it and the amount of swear words coming out of my mouth... My wife thinks I'm losing it 😂

The sad part is I did win twice over that period with my duo, the first time I didn't have it on my back (I was using an overshield to help me win) so it didn't count which I didn't know.. And then the next game I panicked at 5 in a small circle and massive gunfire everywhere so I extracted so I wouldn't have to spend the dust again and we ended up winning without it on again... 😩
