This update has killed play, either I chose a bot but no drop, play a bit then am the only one moving(but info says the battle continues without me), or the 2 of 12 battles that finished with me intact half my team is MIA(frozen wasteland?) and I get steamrolled.
Add new levels of power and bot speed if I upgrade, plus these new freeze weapons bring back very bad memories of the Corona/Halo Ares days, get frozen(and suppressed) instantly, then die…..all the good deals big spenders get to have…..
Things are just getting stupid, and Pix could care less because as bad as thing are now, spenders still spend, which blows my mind!
I suppose my choices are wait it out, especially for new weapons and Faf thing nerfs, or quit playing this cesspool of a game.
Of course, hangar of the month and 6 pack are viable, too……

Pixonic sadly does not care. From what I have read people who get reported get to spend 1 game per "bad report" in a match pool of other "bad reporters". You also have to have someone reported multiple times for the same offense (where is leaving before the game is over as an offense?) before this rule even kicks in. Then they spend one game in purgatory, which they can ditch quick and not get reported in because who is going to report you if you know you've all been reported? So thus they instantly kill all their bots and are right back to it. As long as all your bots die, in pixonic's eyes that's a good game for you. Btw changing bots applies to that, another back door they don't care about. I get this might be a tiny slap on the wrist if your teammate gets caught just standing there, but the actual logic is it does nothing against people who intentionally drop leagues for easier kills. This person I fought earlier today, actually I spent three hours play and got a whole 3 million silver because of people like this... Reported everyone of them and guess what? No one cares . As a previous programer you get into so many problems setting up the match making like they did that at this point it's deliberate. They base the match making off rank and hangar, so if you switch all of your MK2 robots and guns out (which sometimes you have to do to complete their boot camps aka kill x robots with certain types of robots (spacetech, dsc, yandi...ex)) then you are tanking. Last problem I will talk about, to one person tanking might be full mk3 t1 guns and robots in diamond... For another full MK2 robots with lvl 70 pilots in but still t1 in masters. Here is an example of what I would call tanking. No way this guy made it lower than I have in the past two years with "better weapons" then I have. I may have skill, but having to compete with him is wrong especially given on my best days I'm master 3 with 1.9 robots. I am not trying to talk smack on the game, I am just stating facts. This is information you should have known from day one, but pixonic is very much for not telling anyone much. If you look at their mailing address it is actually an apartment building in Russia. Making as much money as they do, nice to know they couldn't give us an actual building to write to.

6 Pack was affected by this 'no drop / freeze' bug. Our first two matches post update had first 7 people unable to drop / wandering alone in a statue garden and then in the second, 5 people.
Everyone affected uninstalled and reinstalled and the issue went away.
Great code, Pix!
