Hello All - just a quick post to share that there seems to be a workaround in place, for the Seashooter Arena Bot issue:
The Bot’s score seems capped at 18 M, so if you can score higher than that, you can win & complete a win-streak.
I am getting matched with the 1 bot repeatedly, now (2nd bot has disappeared) but it’s plants load out has changed slightly (still impossible) and it’s score still jumps implausibly high early on - but it’s score stops at 18M - so it is just about possible to beat it & work towards the seed packets again…..
I don’t find this to be any better. I have level m54 plants, but just lost to a bot playing with level 1&3 plants. Still makes the game unplayable. At this point I believe the bot is through the game and not a random cheater. They know it exists, but cap the score instead of actually fixing the problem. So now it’s just slightly less obvious that there is cheating going on.
Yes, I believe the bots are a part of the game - and from reading other posts it sounds like there is currently a problem with the matching or scoring algorithms that determine how difficult your opponent is.
i posted my plant choices / start picture / end picture earlier - so try using my plant layout & see what score you get?
For me, you need touchwood to stop the football zombies & boost damage with fire & steam peas / Power Lilly to activate the power tiles / Primal Sunflower is good for sun / then I used pea vine to boost damage - but you can choose Threepeater or MegaGatling Pea instead.
i start by planting pea vines in the back land squares / Lilly pad, torch wood & pea vine at the front & sometimes in column 3, the plant seashooter in every available water tile. As soon as plant food available, boost the yellow power tiles to generate sun & repeat. In the last minute, plant pea vine & seashooter on the back 3 yellow power tiles so when you boost the seashooters they boost adjacent Appeasemint plants……
Not easy, but possible at least - so Good Luck!
