I’m experiencing the same. Over the past few publishes, my maps haven’t been entering Discovery the way they previously did, even after the usual few-day window.
I recently shipped a significant update focused specifically on improving early retention and session quality, and all of my projects use fairly robust Verse systems. The performance shift feels sudden compared to prior releases.
Map codes: 0127-3809-2311 and 8311-5780-2791
Edit: Also Thanks a lot for your help Flak
Did i misunderstood? Werent they going to add an ongoing thread somewhere or did i miss it?
Any luck yet? Still nothing for me. I have a new map to release and I’m too nervous to release because of this sigh.
Its unfortunate but at this point.. Realistically.. I would just forget Discovery exists like I have. We don’t have the manpower to bring enough attention to this or compete against spam that is also leveraging bots. Players don’t care this is going on, so, epic turns their head and ignores it. This is not the worst of the issues, there is far more disgusting things going on than spam.
Yes, everything is against you, search is only getting worse removing you from results, titles are now being controlled like some own them or something. But reality is, without discovery, without exposure, without search.. If you can get players, then players had to dig to find it, its a niche players are looking for, not just more “content” that brings nothing new to the table.
Buy your exposure, find your “connections”, it doesn’t change these facts.
You know what kinda breaks my mind someone reacted with the title director product discovery i was kinda shocked there was actually someone assigned to discovery new experience tab has been stuck for atleast 3 weeks now, the spamaccounts seems to be the same ones doing it and none have been removed, all collaborations getting abused by spam maps seems to be ok
Its like the creators are the only ones who cares about the state of discovery,
This is getting out of control. Ten days have passed and we haven’t heard anything. The spammers are still taking up space and aren’t being banned. It doesn’t seem right, and at the end of the month they’ll get paid for scamming people.
this thread isn’t even searchable on the forums anymore. its just us speaking to ourselves. they not only allow this stuff, they make sure it continues.
This is incredibly depressing and disappointing.
@Flak im sorry to tag you but to be honest you seem to be the only one responding,in the statement joey director discovery made he promised a threat for us to follow in a week it been two weeks without one or i just cant find it anywhere and discovery is still without any improvements, it still are the same accounts doing it without bans, i understand big creators/scammers are linked to it, but does this ecosystem really need these abusers
Dang, haven’t been in discover since early Jan, only thing left to do now is improve the thumbnails and UI and hope for the best.
I really want this to be fixed
creators spend a lot of time on this and in Eton their islands are not even visible against the background of spam
