Drone bug & Cheat reports, some other stuff..
First of all, thank you for the changes made to the challenges, this is way more reasonable and feels more like fun again.
Please fix the drone, everyone that uses the arrows to move around are stuck with this problem as it seems that the up arrow is hardcoded to move the drone camera up, so when we want to move the drone forward we are looking at the sky.
Also thanks for addressing the overpowered aim assist for controller, i believe a lot of cheating allegations will go away doing this, and hopefully with this update the Cronus zen cheaters will be obvious. Also this flick needs to go, it is in no way realistic that with the click of a button the character flicks 90° in a millisecond, this comes way to close to a cheaters mechanic.
What i would insist upon is to implement a death cam & follow cam, so we actually see what was going on with the kill, which is only fair, i am very much sure your cheat report system is being overwhelmed people just reporting based on a fast kill and a look at the score, reports are purely based on assumptions without any visual proof, this would change with these mechanics and many wouldn't be unfairly reported for cheating. I honestly have a hard time understanding why you do not have these features in place since every single other game implements them and it works great.
The report mechanic need to be made way easier, like having to go on the scoreboard, pressing a key for the entire scoreboard is applied, then go click on the name, maybe first check their profile, then going out of the profile, having to do this allover to then click report, the exact same when the game has ended, having to go and search for the name in "recently met" (i also think a lot of users abuse the streamer mode or incognito mode, there are names i do not find back after the game end). So c'mon guys, reporting cheaters should be easy, not some labyrinth hellhole.
Please do something for the gamers that only want to play bots, full XP and progression need to be restored, also bots in Portal, without bots Portal and SDK are completely useless. Just make it impossible for bots to spawn in one place, and kick players that make an absurd amount of kills a minute and after 3 strikes just ban them. And stop being Santa Claus and ban all person that make these exploit servers.
See now the game starts to feel more fun again, i'm inclined to go buy some skins, happy costumers spend money, unhappy costumers leave and never come back. Now go make that large amount of people happy that only want to play bot with full progression & XP, when the game is played, it doesn't matter how anyone upgrades their stuff, as long as the game is played and the same amount of time is put into playing against bots or against people. None of this removing was necessary, well maybe for a day or 2-3 to stop the exploits...Just give the people what you promised, what you said would be a fact in the game, be fair make everyone happy and make a load of money.
Have an awesome rest of your day!
