new fortnite servers being tested

When Fortnite was about building, ping was a huge issue. As far as I know, most players just play the no build version where ping is not that much of a big deal.
 
Definitely some good news for the fortnite players in the aforementioned regions.

Found an article with a bit more detail, nothing officially announced yet

Kids?
I started playing with the kids during covid. Now they don't really play anymore, but I still play. Only game that I play. Nothing better than sitting in a bush and sniping sweaty 10 year olds and knowing how they are rage quitting.

Well there is normally still more players playing build mode in busy times like over the weekend. Only during the week and sometimes late at night more are playing no build mode.
Its not just about ping and build. In build mode its just the same thing over and over. No matter what new and funny things are added to the game, in build mode its just box fight from start to fining every game. Even the legends like Ninja and his friends mostly play no build these days.

Well only on Middle eats servers you get around 150 ping but those servers are more broken than working then ping is 230+.
I just put it permanently on Europe with a steady 180 ping.
 
Still cant see SA servers working. Fortnite have so many game modes now, I cant see SA having enough players as to not having to wait 30min+ for a game and then there will be no skill based lobbies.

Maybe Epics metrics sing a different tune. I mean it wouldn't really be considered if it wasn't viable. Maybe it doesn't make it out the test phase, only time will tell. Here's hoping it's successful nonetheless

That has always been SA's problem, player count. I think CS might be the only game that has a sustainable player base. Warzone was popping off the first few months with local servers, it was fantastic. Then they brought out various game modes and the matchmaking took a massive hit and local games became harder and harder to find.

I see it now with Tarkov as well. People are sitting in 10-15 min que to find local games, most of the player base now plays on Singapore or EU servers.
 
I think SA will have plenty players. And although Zero Build has gained popularity, Build is still huge. Ping makes a difference in all game modes.
