It is SO annoying to keep seeing the same posts stretching an argument we already got resolved. It's not interesting, it's not high effort, it's not ANYTHING.
And half of the time, it's some cis person talking about how they didn't get it in a negative way, or a 4tran user saying it was bad representation.
It's a tired topic, along with the Jax haters vs Jax lovers.
PLEASE, for the love of Kinger, ban this topic.
.....and no, I'm not a hypocrite. I am totally NOT adding to the discussion by bringing it up. You sound crazy, hypothetical person I'm gaslighting.
LOOK AT THAT. LOOK HOW MUCH MONEY HE STOLE FROM SHIGGY.
WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?!
Only Hitler would buy FONY and MICROSTUPID garbage.
This is actually a several hundred dollar skin, so very much not free.
edit: the "at home" rewards most likely do not mean the skin. I figure they would specify.
edit 2: this is correct. you can only earn the skin from the ride.
So, I wanna make few things clear before I begin.
This opaque window.
I enjoy this game very much.
I am posting a discussion piece on a meme sub because I'm stupid, but also because I wanted this to specifically reach fans of the reboot mainly, and I think you're all fairly reasonable.
I am still very confused as to why Bungie made this game the way it is. What I mean is making it a Marathon game, as opposed to just creating a new IP.
Most likely because a new IP wouldn't get as much attention, but whatever. It's just, to me, when I play it I see a Bungie game, but not a Marathon game.
Aside from when Durandal makes an appearance, or I see the logo or a mention of the ship, it doesn't feel connected. Almost like it was supposed to be a different game.
However, one thing stops me from fully believing that. The Compiler. The inclusion of one of the aliens from the original games being such an important part of the endgame makes me doubt that theory somewhat.
In summary, the existence of this game confuses me, and I would love to hear YOUR thoughts about it.
Sure Lia,
I have now downloaded and reviewed the account data that Epic made available to me.
Frankly, I find Epic's handling of this increasingly unacceptable.
You have told me that a human reviewer examined the evidence and upheld a 365-day cheating sanction. Yet despite repeated requests, Epic still will not tell me what I allegedly did.
I have not been given:
the match or session in which the alleged cheating occurred;
even an approximate date or time;
the type of cheating allegedly involved;
whether Epic alleges I used unauthorized software, an exploit, automation, modified files, hardware or some other method;
any description of the conduct that supposedly gave me an unfair advantage; or
any factual explanation of what the human reviewer actually concluded I did.
I am not asking for anti-cheat source code, detection signatures, algorithms or information that would allow somebody to circumvent Epic's systems. I have made that clear repeatedly.
I am asking a very basic question:
What am I actually accused of doing?
Epic directed me toward my account-data export. I have now reviewed that export. It contains extensive account, device, session and financial information, but still provides no meaningful information identifying the conduct underlying this cheating sanction.
That is extraordinary given the seriousness of the punishment.
I have also reviewed the financial data associated with this account.
Epic's records and my Epic receipt history document AUD $1,030.75 plus USD $59.95 paid directly to Epic over the history that I can substantiate.
In addition, I have separately documented a further AUD $183.26 in Fortnite V-Bucks/top-up purchases, bringing my presently documented Fortnite/Epic-related expenditure to at least AUD $1,214.01 plus USD $59.95.
Epic's own account export records that my Epic account was created on 24 January 2017. I have played Fortnite since its earliest period and have maintained this account for years. I was still paying for Fortnite Crew immediately before this sanction.
I am 29 years old. I have never cheated in Fortnite, and I have never cheated in any other game.
So I genuinely ask Epic to consider the obvious question:
Do you seriously believe that after maintaining this account for essentially the entire life of Fortnite, spending well over a thousand dollars on Fortnite and Epic content, accumulating years of account history and continuing to pay for Fortnite Crew, I would suddenly decide to cheat and knowingly risk that entire account?
That does not by itself prove my innocence, and I am not suggesting that financial expenditure makes an account immune from enforcement.
What it does demonstrate is why I am taking this accusation extremely seriously and why simply telling me that "a human reviewed it" is not an adequate answer.
If Epic possesses reliable evidence that I deliberately cheated, then Epic should be capable of identifying the nature of the conduct it says I committed without exposing its anti-cheat technology.
At present, I am being punished for one year for conduct that Epic will not even identify to me.
I categorically deny cheating.
I am attaching the relevant financial portion of Epic's own account-data export, including the transaction records, together with my calculation summary.
At this point I am no longer requesting another ordinary Player Support appeal. I understand that Epic considers that avenue exhausted.
I am putting Epic on notice that, unless this matter is properly resolved, I am proceeding with a formal Notice of Dispute under Section 17 of Epic's Terms of Service seeking reversal of sanction 275e2a38-95bc-4eab-8d14-d8b4d9f1f9ab.
If the dispute is not resolved through the required informal-resolution process, I am prepared to proceed to individual arbitration and have the evidence underlying this sanction considered by an independent decision-maker.
If Epic intends to stand behind this accusation, then I expect Epic to be prepared to substantiate it.
Before I commence that process, I am giving Epic one further opportunity to address the substance of what I am saying:
Identify, at least in general factual terms, what conduct I allegedly committed.
Identify the approximate date or period in which that conduct allegedly occurred.
Reconsider the sanction in light of my unequivocal denial and the possibility of an erroneous or false-positive detection.
Reverse the 365-day sanction if Epic cannot reliably establish that I deliberately cheated.
I am not asking Epic to compromise its anti-cheat systems.
I am asking Epic to either substantiate an extremely serious accusation against a longstanding paying customer or correct it.
Please escalate this correspondence accordingly and continue preserving all account, gameplay, device, matchmaking, anti-cheat, detection, sanction, appeal and review records relevant to this matter.
If only all the other Star BORES products were endorsed by Shiggy, then they'd be worth my time.
Sadly, only a couple games were deemed worthy by him.
First off, the main issue isn't that the skin is "slop", or that people didn't want it, that's not what I'm talking about.
The issue is Roblox. Roblox is a horrid platform that is incredibly unsafe and predatory, both with its users and creators.
They refuse to do anything about this issue, and ban people who try to help fix it. Their attempts to solve the problem are simply poorly guised ways to take users personal information, and have simply made the game worse.
It is VERY warranted.

Imagine going on a several paragraph long tirade and stil be entirely wrong on what you're talking about.
Believe it or not, if you do not communicate with your community for over 2 months outside of being an asshole, they tend to get upset.
The only invalid part of the fanbase is the very small part that sent death threats to the devs.
It's exactly what they want. You're not gaining anything from doing this, and it's more sad then funny.
Plus, it feeds more into the narrative that most of the criticism of Campaign Evolved is from these grifters.
Y'know, I joined when I saw that glorious Ozel message, about fangames.
I haven't regretted my decision. Each day brings new, hilarious drama.
I haven't even played BBN. I've barely seen gameplay of it.
Hell, I don't even like asyms. But I love the community.
First, I would like to state my take on the remake.
It's fine. Plays well, most of the levels are 1:1, with the exception of the library ( which I actually think is improved. ) Really don't like how the Flood look, the biomass looks too clean and shiny to me. I enjoy there being 42 skulls, and remix is fun. Don't like how the Magnified skull works, it breaks the AR for the AI, so marines and combat forms can't use it. Plus, they don't up your ammo reserves.
It's a solid 7.5. Not worth 50$, but....hey, I enjoy it, I hope most of us do too.
Now onto what this post is actually about.
I don't care for these "Don't criticize the game" memes. You see more of them then actual criticism. Is there a lot of stupid criticism? Definitely! The chuds whining about Williams, the bisexual lighting, sprint and zoom functions, etc.
But personally I believe there is more valid criticism, but it gets drowned out by all of these "criticism bad" posts. We should all be on the same side here, and be able to admit that it's still a fun, fine product while also agreeing it has a lot of flaws. However, given our track record with that, I'm doubtful.
Why do I think they're unhealthy? Because it makes both extremes worse. Complaining about complaining ( like I'm doing right now, I am indeed a hypocrite ) makes both sides worse, and doesn't really serve a purpose.
Is anybody going to read this? No, probably not. It's a paragraph on a meme sub, people don't come here to read, and I wouldn't be surprised if the mods remove this. I do hope someone does, though, and it gets through to them. I am very open to discussion.
I am copying the character.
There's gonna be a current canon version for arcs, and for interacting with Evie and "main" characters.
The second one is for casual interactions.
The difference is one is labeled GuNsmith R, and the other is GuNsmith R².
