Listen to your fans!!!

This game would be so awesome if you people that have the ability to do something about the cheaters WOULD DO JUST THAT!!! Like someone else mentioned… make the pc players (which is where the cheaters are) play separately from those on the oculus quest. It’s downright sickening how infested with fat, sweaty, Cheeto eating basement dwellers there are in this game.

To many cheaters in game

I will be honest. The game is realy great and i love to play it. Specially the classic battle with three players.The game is ruined by cheaters. I am 52 old and i was a hardcore gamer from mine 22 age. I won with mine clan first place prices in MOHA and COD 4 in europe. I know when people cheat. In this game there are cheaters. Believe me. They must get rid of the pc players. Some cheaters connect with bleustack like programs to this game tru the vr glasses. Throw the pc players on a other server. Let them cheat there. Make just an other server for the vr glasses if it is possible. Or scan there game for mods in the vr glasses and ban them afther that. I hope this will be solved. Or the makers will loose many honest players here who spend money for this game. Best regards and try to keep the honost players happy who are fan of this game. They are the majority here and not the cheaters.

Super Disappointed

Love this game but unfortunately Your new update ban drew in a ridiculous amout of people still cheating. All these cheaters are laughing in your face cause they didn't get banned. I had high hopes for this recent update ban but unless all the cheaters get banned this game has just got worse. Im soooo disappointed meta, we deserve cheater free game play. I will gladly pay to play for a guaranteed cheater free population one. If you cant ban them all then the game is just more garbage. Players who cheat should have their headsets bricked...

Great game if you’re not a female

I’ve been playing the game for about 3-4 years now and it’s pretty good! Yes it crashes/ freezes from time to time . But that’s normal. Also you can fix the crashes by clearing cache. The game has all different ages of players and people who speak different language and have different personalities! The main problem is the reporting system. And the players that they allow to play . I’ve been assaulted many times by OLDER guys in this game and I found one that has been harassing other girls aswell . Due to this it’s rare to find girls/women that are not over 25. (I’m a minor btw and the guys who have harassed me knew) and what makes it worse or many of them ask me and other minors to do inappropriate things while they do inappropriate things I recommend keeping kids under the age of 13 away from this game (mainly girls). There have also been very racist people and they do get reported but again nothing is done. But you can always mute people! Overall the game has some creeps but also great people I do recommend playing. You can meet great people! And gain lost of skill and even learn some things from others!

I can't log into the game for 2 days

I'm giving it 1 star because the game just stopped starting. It freezes on the last screensaver and nothing happens after that. What I tried: I reinstalled the game 2 times - it didn't help. I rebooted the helmet - to no avail. Cleared the cache - no effect. Judging by the reviews, this problem is widespread and has been going on for 2 weeks, but the developers are not fixing anything. I can't log into the game for 2 days. Until you fix it, the rating will remain the same. Fix it!”
