Adding Bots to Garden/Graveyard Operations? (and more feature requests)

Hey,

i just contacted the EA Support and asked some questions. I know that this game wont get huge updates again, but i leaved some simple feature requests. He told me i should leave a post here...

-I love GW2 and as i remember, it was possible to add bots to a Garden/Graveyard Operation. Why did they remove that feature?
-search for a Garden/Graveyard Operation with a specific difficulty

-it would be awesome to select how many waves the Operations should contain. Something like: [Normal / 6 Waves] [Hard / 15 Waves] or something like that.

-an option to choose if you want to a Garden OR Graveyard Operation

-when there are more ways to choose what match you want to play (difficulty options, garden or graveyard operation), matchmaking is going to be alot harder. So why dont add a bonus to players, who click on "fast lobby search". So the players who want to play on hard still get random players in their lobby. Some like a +20% exp or +20% money bonus would be enough in my opinion to make it appealing.

A lot of people (including me) think that BfN is a huge step backwards... they messed up the marketing part. I didnt knew that this game came out until 5 Months ago. But it feels like they just gave up on making this game better. A lot of people want more characters, more maps ect. but EA still could improve whats already in the game. I am a huge PvE Fan and i love GW2. Even the character customization menu or some other menus are way more confusing. The menus in GW2 were absolutely clear to me... back then, it felt amazing to get legendary hats.

I really hope that it would be possible to add bots to these PvE Operations, so pleople who play with 1-2 friends get a full 4 player experience without that one completly useless random player, who thinks beeing afk is fun. Today i finished a operation on the highest difficulty with 1 friend... i mean... should it really be this way? It was way to easy and there wasnt even a big difference between hard and crazy (?, i dunno what its called in english). It seems like the difficulty is based on the player count, dont get me wrong, thats not bad at all. But with only 2 Players, its way to easy and really boring. Adding Bots could add difficulty (more enemys, healing these bots, ect.) Adding more waves could add more dynamic like more special waves with this gambling mashine (like in GW2). Some smaller bosses and one really hard Endboss. I dont want huge updates. I want this game to be just a little bit better than GW2! 🙂

  • @KevGamesUltimateSadly it wont happen as there support has ended alongside advertising the switch version as the "complete" edition of the game practically confirms it and that ai allies are pathetically weak and can't even handle browncoats waves thanks to the broken range mechanics practically every ai spams like crazy (gw1 pots were weak and got obliterated by hero classes but had positioning and variety as an advantage to hold off the early waves well).

    With bots being wonky in private play I doubt they would be much better in ops (stopping and walking circles after dying and wierd ability usage/ never trying to utilize the high ground).

    The only truly new boss that isnt a boss hunt reskin in the entire game is bitter dill and removing some entirely such as giga gargs and big stump who were blended into gargs and torchwood.

    Only 1 base position gets stale fast.

    Lack of unique enemies for thematic waves such as Blitzer, flag carriers, elemental class variants, vampire zombies, backup dancers, lightshield enemies, and so on.

    No evacuation phase or sense of urgency when allies die.

    Some of the elite bosses mechanics bleed into each other.

    We cant even pick which team we want online.

    This mode is easily the worst one in the game and it feels like it was just included just so it could be there, not because they cared about making it truly great.

    Ops is a show of the game as a whole imo what should have built upon what was already there we instead got a downgrade with a few ideas or gimmicks that never go anywhere.

    I agree that there could have been more changes to Ops, the devs planned on releasing a Phase 3 but then content updates got cancelled, which was very inconvenient.
