SypherPK explains why Fortnite\u2019s pre-editing changes missed the mark Epic Games \/ YouTube; SypherPKAli \u2018SypherPK\u2019 Hassan was a big leader of the Fortnite pre-edit changes movement, trying to get Epic to change the mechanic. While they did follow through, the update wasn\u2019t \u201cwhat people were asking for,\u201d according to the YouTube star, and more changes are needed. Pre-editing has been a contentious issue in Fortnite for some time. The setting has stunted players\u2019 ability to build by the game saving where you were at, instead of giving you a clean slate. When you edit fast enough too, the game glitches out. Builds will sometimes not reset when prompted, and you can put yourself in a dangerous position by trying to fix things. The feature has long angered the community, especially top players, for restricting their creativity. SypherPK has been calling for its removal for over two years now. The YouTube star was elated when Epic finally announced changes on December 15. However, a week on, and Hassan believes they missed the mark entirely, and more needs to be done. \u201cWhat Epic did was give us this setting \u2014 reset edits when entering build mode. So when you have this on\u2026 as soon as I swap out of build mode, it resets automatically [to a default build],\u201d he said. \u201cThat kinda helps a little bit, but that\u2019s really not what people were asking for and that\u2019s really not what people understood from the patch notes.\u201d There\u2019s a reason why pre-editing can be downright horrible. While it affects every player, those with worse setups or higher ping struggle more. Same for those on controller, who have a little bit less control and flexibility. The changes are better, but not what they could be. \u201cPre-editing for higher ping players can be especially problematic. It can cause you to miss edits you would usually make, or accidentally pre-edit your builds. At least now if you pre-edit it automatically resets,\u201d he admitted. He gave Epic exactly what players want \u2014 to just remove the option. Adding a toggle to remove pre-edits completely is what Sypher wants, and the community agrees with him. \u201cI want to make this constructive. I know there\u2019s a lot of feedback from competitive players who were really excited about this change and then realized it wasn\u2019t the change we though we would be getting. We really just want the option to toggle off pre-editing completely.\u201d Epic has listened though. They are adding a new setting in 2021 to remove pre-edits entirely, and it\u2019ll be news to the ears of Fortnite players across the world. \u201cWe understand we missed the mark in adding an option to disable pre-edits in the 15.10. We know many of you find pre-editing unnecessary and would like a setting where you\u2019re not able to edit a build until the build is in place. We plan to adjust the setting early next year,\u201d they said. We understand we missed the mark in adding an option to disable pre-edits in the 15.10.

After almost three years of campaigning though, SypherPK has finally gotten his victory, and it\u2019s going to be a sweet one once it\u2019s finally added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
