    List of suggestions

    1) Implement a system that makes it easy to investigate and ban energy cheaters. Trollbane did nothing. Roughly 90% of my opponents can somehow pump out 15 to 25 energy worth of cards every 5 seconds. If anything, the cheating problem got worse. Before Trollbane, only 3 out of 10 of my opponents were obvious cheaters. Even if it's as simple as sending a timelog of what card was played at what time and what energy was available to the admins/dev team when reporting a player would work better than Trollbane.

    2) Make an easy-to-find in-game reporting system/screen. There doesn't seem to be any reporting system in the actual phone app. The only reporting system known to the average player is recording the game, then sending the video to the admins. I don't know about other people, but the thought of being forced to record every single game, emailing it to the admins, and hoping they actually do anything is far too exhausting of a process that any free-to-play game has any right to force on its players.

    3) Fix gamebreaking glitches/exploits. If one of your units is mind-controlled, then the opponent mind controls a second unit, the first unit's mind-control counter seems to pause, making that unit your opponent's unit forever. I've had someone mind control my Zen Cartman with Mecha Timmy, then had my Dogpoo hit by the mind control spell. My Zen Cartman was mind-controlled for more than 1 minute.

    Charged abilities also seem to be nullified after mind-control. There have been many times where I either mind-control a unit or regain control of a mind-controlled unit only to have the unit's charged ability no longer castable.

    4.) Dedicated servers. I can't remember how many games I've lost because I somehow lose connection right when a PVP match starts even when my connection is over 200 MB per sec and every other device in the house isn't even lagging. Or having to kill every opposing minion 3 or 4 times because the opponent's messing with their wifi connection or their speed/energy hacks are glitching out during a game. On rare occasions, I'd join a pvp match only to lose the second I join the match (You Lose screen, no characters or spells cast, lost a star). Not sure if that last part is because the other person's cheating though.

    5) Add option to play against friends on your team without losing rank. This allows you and your friend to test out new deck combos or train in new tactics without losing rank.

    Thanks for sharing your input! We are actively working to improve our anti-cheat to stay ahead of potential cheaters, and we will continue to make strides in this area until the problem is completely resolved. Trollsbane is one step forward in this process, but it's not the end! You can report suspected cheaters or other issues in-game under Support in Settings, in addition to submitting reports directly to a forum moderator. You can also contact us through the official South Park: Phone Destroyer social media pages.

    I'll look into the the issues with Mind Control and charged abilities. Does this happen consistently? The PvP problems you've described sound like network connectivity issues, on either a player or their opponent's end. We are working to improve overall PvP stability in the near future! If you have these issues often, it can help to make sure your connection is reset. This can be done by putting your device into airplane mode and then back out to refresh the connection.

    In regards to your last suggestion, I would personally love to see that feature in-game at some point! The option to change the time limit would also be helpful for practicing new tactics. I'll pass all of this feedback along to the rest of the team.

    The Mind Control exploit happens consistently. So often, in fact, that some people are telling new players how to use this exploit to unfairly win matches. I've seen this happen 8 times so far, all done by mind controlling two or more characters at the same time. 5 times it was used on me and 3 times I tested it with success.

    The charged ability bug doesn't happen all the time, but 25% to 40% of the time after the minion with the charged ability comes out of mind control. I'd try to cast the charged ability and I would see the minion do the animation, but nothing happens. My connection's extremely stable and I've noticed this happen much more frequently when I play against cheaters. So it may be due to mind control glitching out due to the opponent's energy speed hack.

    It would also help to detail or at least release to the community what Trollsbane actually is. So far, it seems to have done nothing and players now believe that it doesn't actually exist. At present, the game is unplayable. It takes 3 to 5 hours to win just 3 pvp matches right now due to the ever-growing cheating community. I've uninstalled the game. I'll come back once the cheating situation has been fixed completely.

    New cards.

    Ok the nurse with fetus on side of head. Her death wish is the fetus separates and is surrounded inside a pink prismatic fetal liquid type of orb that floats. So it has flying. It gives off small sparks like the heroes phone and has the same type of ability as gizmo Ike.

    So it can either be legendary or maybe new card type past legendary. [Ultras]

    Mambla Vader chef he has the light saber or what ever he had in the show I forgot as well as force push or something. His death wish is he corrupts a random person to his side and depending on who it is they get armor of their own that fits them like it would chef. So animation for all characters to have that armor that fits them would be a lot but cool. Or you can go the easy route and just make them glow red and be on you’re side also red or black glowing eyes.

    The chicken F@#$*+
    Mrs crab tree she disappears in a black cloud of vehicle smoke and a bus falls from the sky crushes a person then the bus blows up and does AOE damage.


    Tug of war mode. 2 - 3 different areas where you and other person have to win sections to push them back to their posts.

    Non time limit mode. Sure we have all had that game or two where we were about to clinch it but a few seconds or so go by and you loose on account of time.

    Have more ideas. Hope I can get a position on a team or at least some fly gear and the free cards of the ones suggested if they become part of the game.
