Lots of interesting discussion in both this thread and the Silver Crowns one!
Currently I really see there being a need for two things in-game (NOT in priority order necessarily):

1. A way for really skilled players to stand out and feel rewarded beyond rocking a 'full crowns' outfit.
2. A way for more casual players to feel rewarded and progress towards the more exclusive rewards without having to win a full 60 player free for all.

We'll have more on our plans to address both of these pretty soon I hope. Please do keep throwing around ideas and thoughts as I'm reading all of it (even if I don't comment)!

I'll take 60

In the backlog!

The team are looking into this one today! Unfortunately it has just slipped through the net in terms of making it onto our todo list but we'll get to it ASAP!

I am both very impressed and a bit embarrassed. The team are investigating how this bug has snuck back in today!!!

aaaaaand breathe.

Lots of good points in here, thanks for taking the time to write it up so thoroughly. Also I think you'll like our next update.

Ok, let me set the record straight here slightly. Apologies that this has not been communicated well!

1. Initially when 'banning' players we were setting them to their own matchmaking pool. There weren't enough cheaters initially to populate this, so they weren't getting matches, essentially banning them.
2. Recently as we've 'banned' more players there were enough to populate this pool and they've started getting matches. Very recently we've turned this functionality off, and if you're banned you're banned. No cheater lobbies. This video (and my last post) were before we made this decision.
3. It's pretty clear we aren't catching cheaters on their first match as we previously thought and it's taking longer for us to detect them. We have better anti-cheat coming soon that should hopefully put an end to cheaters ruining games. Some of our messaging on other platforms still states this and we're in the process of cleaning at up as it's clearly...

We have started doing this to some cheaters, and what you're seeing here is probably one of the cheater only lobbies. I can't say for certain but videos like this one of lobbies full of cheaters are not representative of what most players are seeing in game. We're still hard at work with a much better solution. News very soon.

Hey, thanks for locating this for me! We're discussing this messaging at the moment as it's definitely not correct right now.

This isn't us 'not telling the truth', it's us posting based on what we know at that moment. We are being 100% 'truthful' with our tweets, but we're not going to get everything right all the time.

At that time we did ban a lot of cheaters, but we've seen a huge wave of new cheaters who have managed to get around our initial anti-cheat, which is what's being seen in game now. That's also what's causing these cheaters to play multiple games without being banned.

Ultimately this is the tradeoff we make as a studio - we choose to communicate quickly and openly with our players, but it means that sometimes we're going to get things wrong. We think that this is preferable to going dark for weeks on end to make sure our posts are watertight (which is what you see from a lot of other studios). Hopefully that makes sense and sheds some light on why things we post can seem 'untrue'

Do you have any examples of us 'not telling the truth'? Not trying to argue- I'm trying to get a sense of where our messaging might be inconsistent/incorrect.

The Devs aren't mods of this sub. I stop by when I can to comment on things but I don't (nor do I want to) decide what can and cannot be posted here.

We could not be working any harder to fix the cheating problem. My $0.02 is that the sub should likely reflect the issues in the game, and right now cheating is a huge issue, so it makes sense that there are a lot of posts about it, but it's up to the community to come to a conclusion there.

If I don't post on cheater comments it's because I have nothing more to add to the conversation. We're aware it's a big problem and that it's getting worse. We're working on it . We'll have a solution soon but we can't give an exact date. Ultimately the only thing worse than hackers is us banning players who are playing fairly, which is the reason we have to take our time and make sure our solution is the right one.

We hear you. It's coming. It sucks we can't just have it sorted today and we understand the frustration, but we're working hard to get it live ASAP!

I think this is probably the best fan made level I've seen - it really nails the 'gameshow-ness' of the obstacles and gives players plenty of choice around how brave/risky they want to be be. Awesome work.

I go on holiday for a few days and this is what happens...

Posting it more isn't going to make us fix it faster! We're aware that it's an issue and that it sucks- we're playing the game and suffering in the same way you all are.
Please hold tight while we sort it out. It sucks to have to deal with but we're working has fast as possible to get a robust fix out into the live game.

1) Yes! 2) Do it!

We're looking into this today!
