Hey could you kindly pass this message along to the animations/movement team.
The movement animations need a lot of polish, even if returning to state machines is completely off the table we would still appreciate it if the current animations could be less wobbly.
Thank you

A lot of build players(myself included) hate Ch5+anims because fast turns causes character models to awkwardly tilt, stretch or squat.
Old vs new animations on the exact same freebuild:
Notice how with the old animations, the player model is always upright with its feet planted.
Here is a thread of Fortnite movement "issues" I've noticed (updating as I find more).
Some are fixable, while others are just inherent to motion matching. I really hope Epic brings back the OG animations (state machines) in Chapter 8.

as I've already said, most of the people who have got the token don't even really play the game. the very people that keep the game alive are being told to fuck off while those that don't even play get rewarded
it's just a massive slap in the face

So I get WORSE luck because I play the game more, got it

From CH1-CH4, you could crouch sprint(which was on by default, and what everyone used) and you could crouch walk(significantly slower). From Chapter 5 onwards, they removed crouch sprinting as a mechanic completely, leaving players with the crouch walk speeds.

8 Months ago Epic Games raised the price of V-Bucks because they need to "help pay the bills"
8 Months later and Epic Games is doing a treasure hunt, allowing players who find the Pirate Shop Token to get the entire Item Shop for FREE for 14 days (twice, once in 2026, once in 2027)

Hi Jeff! We are currently investigating the issues affecting movement in Fortnite. Thanks for your patience!
Phyxor retweeted
as much as I hate to complain, they should explore bringing back older options that made the game great. unique & decluttered ui, 3d lobbies, chapter 4 art style, full snow (ch8 launch), & old movement (I know, don't stone me). that would make me want to play again

No, @Fortnite, this isn’t something you can simply ignore, hoping we’ll eventually grow quiet and move on.
And, Fortnite, I wouldn’t be surprised if you tried implementing some middle-ground solution or compromise, but let me be clear: that is not what we are asking for. We don’t merely want the new movement modified. We want the old movement back. We want the movement we spent seven years playing with, the movement that became second nature to us, the movement we grew up with, built memories around, and ultimately fell in love with.
We will not stop asking for it. Fortnite is in desperate need of the magic it once had, and bringing back the movement that defined years of our experience would be a step in the right direction.
Bring Back Old Movement.

Around chapter 4. Epic stopped seeing Fortnite as a video game but more as a platform for UEFN metaverse and a perfect place to demo Unreal engine features. The core battle royale is seemingly no longer top priority.
This change in direction has led to
-Transition from state machines(Og anims) to Motion matching(Ch5+ anims)
- UI redesign,removal of rarities, etc
- Continuous push of the discovery system
- Shift in art style.

Fortnite Movement System is BROKEN🔴
🔰Quick movements are impossible to be made since game mechanics slow you down to match animation motion
🔰The animations can a lot of times glitch and look beyond weird, specially near structures
🔰All unique Pick Axe walk animations you payed for are gone to allow "Motion Matching"
🔰When switching weapons Motion Matching slows you down for a bit harming gameplay responsiveness
🔰Switching weapons also make your character walk super weirdly
🔰Any type of fast movement feels beyond clunky because it confuses the motion matching system
🔰Ch1 - Ch4 used state matching system
But ch5 - Ch 7 uses Motion Matching, causing this
🔰Motion matching is ONLY used in Open World games... NEVER tactical shooter games
🔰Videos are collected by: @Tragicfv
WHY DID FORTNITE DO THIS?🔴
🔰Motion Matching was new to Unreal Engine 5 and Epic Games wanted to show it off, they chose Fortnite as the perfect place to make a demo of this feature and how exactly it works
SO NO, this was never done because its good for the games future, it was never done as a useful evolution to Fortnite, addition of Motion Matching is purely UE5 advertisement
How do we feel about Epic being willing to harm Fortnite gameplay for the sake of treating it as an Unreal Engine demo? 🥲

If they listened to their community on this Fortnite would 100% see a player increase.
Anyways I hope epic games makes the right decision and reverts 🙏

Completely understand this- what happened was wrong but at the same time, just because there are a few bad apples doesn’t make the whole bunch bad
I don’t know if every player should have to suffer for a small group of the community’s actions. Nor do I think the Dev team should resist improving their game out of fear.
I think the community has valid reasons to ask the Devs to take a look at the animations that aren’t whining (like it was in CH5). If you haven’t already we’d really appreciate it if you took a look at @tragicfv post on this
Phyxor retweeted
Personally even though I’m a fan of the old animations, I never went as far to do crazy things as some other ppl did .
With this being the only comment that any epic staff has made about the animations since 2023, I don’t think it’s ever coming back.
My apologies to the team members who got doxxed and death threats.
Phyxor retweeted
Seriously, not for me with that. Death threats and Doxxing to team members over anims, I'm not even entertaining the convo about it. Full stop.
I already get enough from the Ranked audience as is.
Not my expertise.
