damn i did not know i was this good at fortnite (thats me in all the clips guys)
(There are no lies here)
hi muz hehehehe
How are you dropping the hammer so fast without going into the backpack menu - thus avoiding the animation. Absolutely destroying people with whatever this is. 😮
@@antiviii2261 Macro
@@antiviii2261 it’s because when the hammer is in your first slot it’s preselected so you just have to press your drop key but he just does it really fast
I think a good solution to the ping issue is making more central servers in cities like Chicago and Kansas City, that way Canadian players will at least get good ping in 60% of their games
that will defeat the whole point of why they are doing this because if you wanna play with someone you have to be in the same server you can't play with someone on a diferent server
@@disclaimerimnotasimp3880 i don’t think you understand. it would still just be one “na central” server. but it would place you in the best sub server for your ping (chicago) etc. if there isn’t enough people or more than half the lobby would be better on dallas then you’d be placed in dallas anyways. but if there’s enough people qing for chicago then you’d be put in that lobby
I’m good thanks thou
Naa only texas
I’m in Canada and my ping went from 30 to 90 😂 they ruined the game for anybody in Ontario at least
Drop some replies on topics you'd like me to discuss!
I forgot to put the overlay but the clips are from Muzz!
Us Caribbean players are getting 100 to 130 ping
immediately know it's muzz because of the amount of times he does hammer trick
WHY they dont do it like EU ?
Why the game still has a horizontal fov lock
Fortnite's gameplay flaws. (Chugs, Hammers, 0 ping etc.)
Going from 15 ping to 60-70 for me is WILD. I qualified for 4 solo victory cups in season 1 and now even playing arena is infuriating. I would consistently drop anywhere from 10-20 kills in good games and now I struggle to get more than 7-8 because people can just jump in my box, shoot me through builds, take my wall, infinitely hold their wall, etc. I’m not sure why this was necessary but it’s extremely unfortunate.
Exactly
That’s how my games go but I managed some in open areas when I get easy shots before I spray my way in it’s a slow process
It’s harder to get a quick shot in buildings if your gun hits a blank when you want to build right away
As a canadian player i dont really enjoy the change, obviously theres a big player base they will gain in mexico but they nearly just flipped the issue onto canadians, now were on the bad side, going from 30 ping to now 70 is making nearly impossible to improve or place in build tournaments. I 100% understand the change but its just a loss for me.
I don’t understand the change lol just add a central server why make both regions take a loss and give the central states an advantage makes no sense pros are already quitting and I’m prolly gonna follow suit I understand a lot of things but not this
@@Eye_Rant I’m done with fort after this they just show time and time again they in it for money and that’s it every Canadian that plays the game for competitive/arena is gonna quit tons of west and east players in general are going to quit I’d bet most streamers for comp and gonna switch games as well
@@Tyson422 yea those so many other solutions they make it so only the top players will continue to be the only top players who’s moving to Texas for Fortnite other than pros even if the server was actually central not at the bottom of the fuqqing country
on god i was an arena player now i just play pubs
I'm from Alaska (west of Canada) and I would get around 40 - 60 ping on average which wasn't bad, now with central servers i'd be getting 90 - 100 ping which is just not playable at all for me. Something I think epic should consider is keep non-cash prize cups on every server like Contender cups, challenger cups, and skin cups while other cash cups and FNCS can run on central servers so that way I can still keep playing comp without having to worry about ping. Queue times might be a bit slow with this but I still think it's something they should take into consideration.
I like this in theory, but the problem is those challenger and contender cups are the qualifiers for Elite and therefore FNCS, so I’m not sure how Epic would handle that once you’ve qualified for Elite through a “non-tournament” server. I like the idea for skin cups though 👍
I live right under you in bc. I went from consistent 0 ping to 20-30 in creative and from 20-30 to 40-60 in pubs on na west. Unplayable I deleted the game for good the day nac was added
@@nvmb6451 i was already on 60 before the change, it’s playable u just have to get used to it
@@legendarybanana9 I know its not that bad I used to play on na east with 80-100 ping bc the clan I was in at the time was na east and I'm na west but I got so used to 0 ping now my muscle memory is ruined. Just gave up on the game I'm not playing high ping
@@nvmb6451 yeah i do be like that, same here when they removed SEA server took me a long time to get used to it
I'm from New York and i get 58ms to central server, creative I have 43+ ping, not everyone has 30ms in the settings, all the competitive in fortnite is over for many people (for example Canadians), especially me I prefer not to play if I 'm going to have 60+ ping in game of course in a building game mode which would be a bit hard to get used to especially someone who doesn't know how to play high ping.
in case you ask, i can't change to other ISP im limited to only one because where i live is a sh**t place so i need to move and get fiber if i want to lower my ping around "40 ms" like Clix, AsianJeff, Jerian or other who lives in NYC area that have a similar result.
just move 💀
@@brendavelez3419 ur special
@@brendavelez3419bro i'm not gonna ask my broke parents to move to dallas to have better ping for fortntie
As a Canadian I went from 20-30 on west ping to 80+ on central so I think I’m either done with comp or I gotta look into zero build. Definetly demotivating.
Hard to say but ur done
Its like y'all are forgetting that most people will be on high ping now, as a majority of players live on the coast
I feel your pain I live in Ny where I got 20-30 and now get 66-80 ruined the game honestly
@@rowanschmidt2646 wrd I used to get like 0-15 and in arena like 19-25 now i get 60-70
@@Ash-uf4fvyea but the central players and even mexico will come in and wreck them unless theyre just ass
They really choose to put central servers in the most southern state possible
@Goated83 I hope it snows 1mm in texas and your state collapses
@Goated83is that a joke
@@tacotim351 i hope so
@DA_GOAT-_-83 💀
It'd be better to put it in like Wyoming so people further north get better ping but at the same time no one gets zero ping cause no one wants to live there lol
I live in Connecticut and my ping in tournaments is 60 to 70 🤦🏻♂️ it sucks so bad. For zero build is not bad but for building tournaments is not even playable. I get all my walls taken and just lag crazy
you think they will change it back ever
One point is that fewer players overall will qualify for tournaments. I think the top ten-15 duos on NAW would still qualify for the FNCS finals, but that leaves 35 duos out completely. It also causes the bottom 15 or so duos from NAE to be beaten out by NAW players, so either way you have 50 fewer duos qualifying from all of North America. I foresee quite a few retirements that blame ping, but which are actually driven by a lack of competitive skill.
I could be wrong, but I think the blog post says the same number of qualifications combined. So, for example, we would move from 1000 qualifying on NAE for solo cash cup finals to 2000 qualifying on NAC
As a nae player tryna play comp its unplayable on 70 ping, the delay to build and shoot makes it impossible to even do anything to try to survive
@@cubixzz831 Yeah - to be fair, at the highest level Ping really makes a difference. Top pros are moving to Dallas - but that obviously isn't an option for most people. I didn't mean to make light of the issue.
hopefully this can also give more bootcamp content from most creators too like how jamper and paper are doing
As someone playing from Hawaii, this is definitely an absolute loss. Though the current broken coin flip system makes it impossible for us to hold walls at all, or take any, 60-70 ping is still a rather enjoyable experience(Never played below 60 so idk)
With NAC servers however, all events for us will be locked at a minimum ~105 ping and events will probably be held 8-11 o’clock here, quite unfavorable. Very sad and disappointed in these decisions
Same it really sucks
Same
what do you get on asia/oceania servers?"
same this is horrible
@@WillStegmayer more than on na west
I live in Minnesota which is north central US so I was stoked with all the talk about central servers. I used to get same ping about on east and west servers but since the central servers are fsr south I'm still gonna get almost the same ping on all three servers 😑
60 ping east 70 ping west 60 central
they need a Illinois server for us north players
@@strynxte yeh I get 50 on eqst and 60-70 on west and central
If they make it like valorant queues where its one region but different servers i can already see the complaints of getting connected to a worse server in different games of a tournament.
"Bro im in a 60 ping lobby i cant build"
im so grateful i live in utah and my ping is literally the exact same i was hoping for a little bit less ping but im just happy it didnt go up
One very interesting thing to note, a lot of Latin American countries in between Mexico and North America along with a few other countries such as the Dominican Republic, who used to have Brazilian servers as their best option, now may have a second solid option to go with
A lot of peruvian players I have met had Na East as their best option for some reason
@@zaxfn I'm from Colombia and my Peruvians friends me to play on east, that's cause we're closer to USA than Sao Paolo( that's where Fortnite servers are in Brazil) that city it's so far away it's on south and that's a problem because Brazil it's the longest country in the world from south to west
@@xjkndgldif Bueno gracias por responderme la duda, cuanto ping tienes en NA Central?
@@zaxfn extrañamente tengo el mismo ping pero creo que es por que estoy a casi la misma distancia, en creativo tengo 70 y en arena y torneos 90 en los dos servers.
de todas maneras no cambia nada para mi, desde colombia nunca podre ganar dinero a 90 de ping, digo nisiquiera puedo hacer triple edits en partida de lo malo que es el servicio de fortnite.
Right now, I’m in Virginia, so this is definitely going to impact me I an normally below 10 ping, 30-40 doesn’t seem as bad as it could tbh. I’m gonna practice arena on central
Yeah u will still be below average ping, new average is gunna be close to 50
Virginia is where NA East is located…
😭ur lucky tbf, i used tk have 15-25 now im at fuckin 60+
@@jaytrax34 they made it so everyone in NA East and NA west plays on central for arena and tournaments lmao
As a player from Oce, the times are so dumb. most of the players have their tournament at around 6pm-9pm but for Nz it is either 8pm-11pm
to 9pm-12am. which can be become very annoying
As someone who can drive to Canada in about an hour this is terrible for me cause I just started taking the game seriously and now I'm on 70 ping 💀💀
I do like the 2 regions being together. However being from Western Canada my ping went from 25 on west to 105 on central. Calling the server central is what the issue is. It is actually na south and I've seen people living in central state such as Michigan getting higher ping on central then they do on east which doesn't make sense due to the server titles
we just need a montana server :p
Yea I’m all the way up in Wisconsin and get 65 ping in central 💀, they need to add an Illinois server asap
@@9amlol they already got a ohio server but we all know that one is shitty cus its in ohio, also I think a Montana server would benefit people more
I live in Minnesota but I get better ping on nae
I’m in Michigan I normally get around 25-30 ping but now on central, I get around 70 to 75 ping
Us Canadians taking the biggest L with this 😭
As someone who plays from canada this is really a big disadvantage I used to get around 0-10 now i play on 40-50 It's not even fun playing arenas or tournaments anymore
for valorant, it doesnt choose which server you play on, you select which server(s) you want to play on and it'll load you just into the server(s) you select, no preference just whichever server it finds a match for you in first
I think its a bad thing on epics part I went from from 0-10 ping in creative to having almost 70 constantly.
As a player from Louisiana, this is huge for me! l went from 50-60 ping to 20
YESSSS
Fucklouisianaandthesouth
yep 60+ to 19 it’s crazy i live in louisiana too lol
As a Canadian player I am very disappointed in this decision. I used to get 50-60 ping on na east now I get 110-120 ping on na central. Along with the downside of tournaments starting at 9:30-11pm
I live in Kentucky when I first got my fiber optic internet I used to get 20 ping on NA-East servers. after a while I get 35-40. Now since they added Central it seems that the NA-East servers are less stressed from so many players and now I get 16 ping average.
Im hoping you can dive into if South Africa and the region there gets servers? I'm a South African player and we need to play on Europe and still get 80-150 ping.
Really hope you do a video bringing this to light because lots of people been giving up on this game in my region.
They should make it central Africa cause there's honestly just as much Nigerian, egyptian and Ghanaian players in Africa.
queue times would be hell
@@YHWHsam Not really though. 30 secs tops and me and my friends are in a game. The only thing is the ping. Can't be grinding on 80-150ping.
@@darcest_light Well yeah ur queue times are good cuz ur playing eu so ur getting in games with all of the eu playerbase. If there were south africa exclusive servers, then the queue times would take ages, but it would still be nice for yall to be able to play creative on low ping.
Honestly this update for me is amazing because I used to play on 40 ping average because I live in Oklahoma and now I got lucky with the server change and I run an average of 9 ping
i used to get 60+ now i get a low of 19 ping, in louisiana btw
I live in California (Northern) and I went from averaging 20 ping in arena to 60-70. It sucks because people have a advantage and it’s way harder to play on this high ping all the time especially as a comp player.
I live in Northwest Florida, and my ping in the settings menu, is at most 8 lower from what I've seen so far. sooooooo I really am not affected by this change.
I don't know if this has happened to many, but since they created the na central servers, the ping has always run at 120, and I'm from Venezuela, but before they created them, the game ran at 70, 80 stable ping, hopefully that's temporary, but these days I've been having a very hard time with the ping, and hopefully they fix it to play well as before!!
Yea my stuff bugging also
@@shelxvsjosh to me is already gone xD!
There’s also the possibility that Na would eventually be better than Eu based on the sole fact majority of Na has English as either their first language or second , while Eu your usually limited to your native tongue , the reason why Eu scrim scene was so hard to manage at first was because it was hard to run an event when majority of the community couldn’t communicate with each other
NA East players playing with a bunch of dogshit players and Epikwhale isn't gonna make much of a difference
bro, in eu comp everyone knows engish
@@chrupciofn Lmao what?
@@chrupciofn If I assume you're not joking I assume you mean everyone knows a basic level of English. Most people( naturally) prefer to play with someone who speaks their native tongue since they're more comfortable with it
in Europe we learn english since kindergarden and around 11-13 yo basicly everyone is at B1/B2 level so language is not the problem in 99% of the cases (and that is avardge kid...here we are talking about fortnite players who spend time in a game that comunicate to them in english because most of the languages are not an option avalible)
Love your videos, keep up the AMAZING work, always looking forward for a new video
Thank you for pointing out Canada. I could run every season I played with my pc but this season is something else. Every one of my friends who plays on west has significantly more ping because epic wrecked it with NA-Central. You make the best content man and I love watching you ❤
i live in canada and play on west and i get around 20-40 ping depends on the day, which isnt bad because ive never experienced 0 ping but on central i get aroung 90-110 ping so it is a huge huge dissadvantage
yeah its crazy now its so dogshit
we're both on rly similar situations man, I live In vancouver and have the exact same ping, Im just quitting the game
@@zaxfn its actually so dumb how they completely switched all of a sudden
@@pepsifnx It’s probably the worst decision they’ve made so far
Fortnite just abondons canadiens 😢
There should be a na west server placed near the four corners in the u.s. it would be about equal distance to places like phoenix, Las vegas, salt lake, denver, Albuquerque. I think Mexico would have a better server to choose from too.
Totally agree
The only thing I hate about this is that now the tournaments start at 8:00pm and end at 11:00pm and so I can only play like 1 hour into the tournaments because I have school in the morning. it used to be from 6:00pm to 9:00pm which was fine for me I wish they would change it back or something idk how time zones work.
its good to see the big reiss back
they need to add a south america server because brazil only works for brazil and a part of argentina, all of center america and south america gets high ping in brazil and na east
This change makes NA basically like EU, everyone plays in comp in german server, ppl in germany love it, ppl outside germany hate it, the farther from germany they are the more they hate.
Not at all, North America is way bigger than Europe and I don't think you realize how much bigger it is. North America is around 2.5x bigger than Europe and the USA alone is as big as Europe... This means that the ping disparity in the USA alone is the same as Europe and that's excluding Mexico and Canada. People in France and Germany could get around the same ping on Europe Server but people in Canada and the US are not even close to getting the same ping on NA Central because of how bigger it is which is why there was NA West and NA East servers to begin with. The only solution is probably to have NA Central servers closer to the middle of the USA so like Kansas City or Chicago...
@@v8arctis660 Yeah, I know is bigger than EU, this is what I meant, the farther ppl are from the server the more they will hate. And about ppl in France and Germany getting that same ping, not at all, I live in France, my ping is 30-40ms ping in german servers, before that when the cash cups weren't in German servers, my ping was around 5-10ms. Those were the times when u saw Solary (French eSports Team) popping Top very often in the tournaments, anyways yeah Is gona be hard for people that live in Canada and stuff. You will still see some of the best pros still popping with over 150 ping tho, just like when Savage or other EU pros pop in NA cups with over 150 ping.
Reisshub will arena still be on west and east?
As a west player that hard 0 ping to now 70-100 ping it sucks
Im in canada and went from 19ms average to 108ms average :(
Damn what part of Canada?
i was listening to reiss but wtf is the guy in the gameplay aim he doesnt miss shots with his that pistol holy shit
Muzz is crazy
My ping in Vancouver is higher on NA Central than it is to NA east; which doesn't make sense since it's closer to Dallas than Virginia. Hopefully something changes.
Is it impossible to run all NA games through all 3 servers? Aka, is it possible to have players from all three servers to play in the same game? I imagine it’s not because this seems like the most logical way to solve so many issues like ping inequality and queue times.
Unfortunately I think it’s impossible, 1 game has to be hosted on a single server
What do you think of Epic adding South African servers, there probably isnt enough players for a proper prizepool but adding south african servers into creative and customs would be great to play with friends
Bruh I wish they add that instead of being on 150 ping plus all the time
That's bs 😭
Where did south Africans get their ego from when there are so many fortnite players from west Africa bro.
what they gotta do is add a server in canada
Hey, what is your res, im new to your channel
I used to get 0 ping on west (I live in California) and now get around 60-70 on central, which is strange cause I get the same on east
They need to add more servers to central especially one in canada
i hope they add to Manitoba bc it center of canada and i dont think add a server to canada is going to difference bc the cup will be in taxas but idk it can maybe help
If they Split North America Into the 2 Countries. i would be in love with it. Imagine having CE and CW And CC Servers. While also keeping the american servers in business. the tourneys should be Canada Central and US Central. But like arena and stuff should be low ping.
@BlizzardFN no they have two servers of na central
they should’ve made the server in the actual central of US, it’s so far south for canada it’s 50-70 ping all game
0-0they need a server in canada
they should have made them all independent servers that way everyone is happy the only single downside to that that i can think of is queue times but everyone gets low ping so i think its fair
I live in Oklahoma and have been on na East. At times I can hit from anywhere as high as 160 to as low as 20. As soon as I get close to another player to finish them off with a barrel stuff I start glitching and they end up finishing me.
We really need a server in Florida
how much ping are u getting there
@@crazzy1879 60
They need to set up a central server in Canada
The problem is there is just not enough people here for it to be worth epics while and queue times would be very bad
They just need to throw a second NA central server in and put it in Minneapolis
Would help a lot of people in the U.S and would definitely help out Canadians
As someone who lives in Dallas this is a dream come true
I’m central, I used to play NAE before central came out. Before central I played 28 ping living in Kansas, in creative, but in game I played on 48 ping. On west I played around the same as east
I really like the idea of multiple server queues for Arena, but I think it's gonna be held back by fortnite's inherent flaws in its gameplay. As you've said, ping isn't really an issue in zero build. No other shooter favors ping more than fortnite, and that's because fortnite plays more like a fighting game than an actual shooter. There needs to be changes to building that doesn't make it favor any ping.
and how are they gonna make builds not favor ping?
@@brycey. i think there was something they did in a test event called like client based building
@@troginator any vid about it?? :O
@@brycey. better netcode.
They should implement something similar to rollback netcode (look it up) for building, then rework 50/50 build coin toss mechanic and make it something similar to build fatigue. Ik that sounds ridiculous but basically, the more times the build piece you're holding has been broken, the more chances your opponent should be able to replace it.
@@trolljerk i’m not sure but there’s some vids mentioning it u can prob find
They should make a USA server a Canadian server and A Mexico server
That would cost too much and just create more problems. All East and West USA players would still have the same ping problems they would with NA central.
Ik
i live in georgia and on the border on central servers depending on the day its arround 40-44 ping on either server so i just pick from either or

I feel you I am gonna run 90 ping now
I’m from Canada and get an estimated 95 ping on central. I was never really a super competitive player but it kind of sucks that I’m going to be absolutely screwed in little cash cups or whatever
As a Canadian, I quit comp because of this, not even worth trying to play on central servers
In central Iowa before on east I got about 30-45 ping on East. Now I get around 50-60 ping on central servers
As a player used to 1 - 20 ping 60 ping is hell.
I live in Halifax Canada, went from averaging 15-25 ping to now 65-90 average.
i can’t play any tournaments anymore my ping is normally 30-60 but now it’s 90-110 it’s unplayable in builds
I'm stuck in the Northern midwest and the latency is horrible even on series x. I have learned to lead players and it helps at a distance, but at close range it almost always comes down to horrible frame rate and jitters. Skill level should be judged by location
I’m in Canada and used to run 20 ping, now because of these servers it’s completely unplayable and I’m on 120 ping on average
Man I live in oregon and get 100+ on central and my duo in Canada gets 70+ this is so stupid man
I’m from Montana and and I used to get 40-60 ping in arena now I get 150+

60 ping in game and 25-35 ping in creative from connecticut. Used to get 20-30 in game on east and 0-10 in creative. Pretty much just bought a PC for nothing
Im getting like under 10 ping on central servers compared to my 2nd best server (west) where I get around 20+
Informative video as always
I run normally ~23ms on west from Canada, and I get 100 on central, and I literally get only 20 higher (120 ping) from Asia, like bruh
I think they should make Central Server more powerful than East and West possibly combined because then it would make everything much better for everybody
As a Canadian player, i feel that i will be severely disadvantaged, mostly because of the fact that i normally play on at least 25 ping
I’m from Morocco so it’s far enough away to get bad ping but too close to Europe for them to make a North Africa region 😔
Perhaps same should be reapplied for Brazil server, to be moved in the middle of South America, that will allow Central America and South America to be more equal in terms of ping, and combined, it will be a more competitive region.
Epic Games uses Amazon servers, and only brazil has amazon servers, so it´s impossible
@@andresvelez5211peru and colombia have amazon servers if they put the servers in peru all of south america and most of central america will get 30 ping or below
I am in Washington State, and this brings me from an avg of 20 ping to an avg of 50 ping in Arena and Tournaments. While this isn't horrible, I think I have some solutions.
Solution 1: While this solution will only really solve ping issues, I think it would be a great step in helping Canadian players, and the far north players, a ton. This would be some sort of ping limiter or ping cap (idk what the exact term is) where the lowest ping you can achieve in Arena and Tournaments would be 30. This would make Central players play a minimum of 30 ping, allowing Canadian players and far north players to only be at a ~30-60 ping difference, rather than a ~100 ping difference.
Solution 2: As you stated, they still have West and East servers, just adding Central in, and the tournaments + arena are the only things that are locked to Central. However, I don't see why they can't just have a West, East, and Central server for Arena. Like, I understand some of the issues behind it, and how separated the community would be, but at least you wouldn't be screwing Canadians and far north players over, and then Mexico could still play.
I have some other ideas, but I think these two are the most logical. Fortnite's competitive scene is already not doing so well compared to other games. So, I just think this update will make it worse.
Im in quebec,not too far from montreal and bro i am not even up north that much in creative i have around 40 ping and in game in na central i have 60+,they should remove nae and naw and do it like eu,having many servers in one big region,an na server
I have an idea, keep comp on east and west, just add central, and put all of NA on one bracket for tournaments
I’m done with comp Fortnite now I mean it’s just not possible to get a good placement on 60 ping when I used to get like 10-25
Even with a lan cable best I got was 17 ping in arena and 2 ping in creative while living in Canada BC. Or NA West. But now that they did this to only play on central, I’m getting 60-120 ping normally 80 ping. Yeah it’s playable for arena but not worth it for comp, I can’t play comp now sadly. I have no clue why fortnite did this, they should’ve just added way more servers. This is a bad decision because only on what I’ve seen before is east players gets the benifits.
My man is ON FIRE! 🔥🔥
I don’t know if what’s happening to me is because of the new central servers but right as it released I went from getting 15 ping in arena to 100+ ping and I play in naw Canada and my pubs stay at 15 ping but just ruines arena I also checked with some other friends playing in new west aswell and they had same prob
