- @Motherball Yeah that's sad, I see the problem only worsening over time, less players = more AI = more negative feedback. I want to see at least console crossplay to save the game.
I play mosty arena lately and the bots are annoying being aimboty, wallhacky, shootin-thru-the-walls, but there are many quitters and it's better that it gets filled with AI instead of playing 4v1 arena. Maybe if they REWORK the AI how it plays and behaves, it may help.
But still the biggest issue here is the playerbase, that's why the AI have been added in the first place. I agree for Team Vanquish. Have not played it since bots came in. What's the point?
If PC need bots to find games then maybe entice more players to PC by lowering the price or something instead? Or have bots depending on the number of online players per platform, only as last resort if people are waiting ages to find a game.
When a Chomper kills you and then sits in middle of your Stink cloud taunting until he dies, it's not the most satisfying vanquish in the world.
It's sad yeah, we need some attention. I am starting to be bit angry too, last days I see increase of the AI in all modes, reddit is talking about it too and my friends noticed it too. And its hurting the game a lot. This needs to be dealt with asap. Its fine for the AI to sub for quitters and help with balance in general but not like this. How the matchmaking and the lobbie are spawning now is completely wrong. Consoles (ps,xbox) didnt have much issue with players in most modes and regions, who wanted AI? NOONE. We wanted crossplay and we get AI which overtook most of the lobbies. Even now after the years I have full lobbies on turf in GW1/GW2 I don't want to play with half AI players (if not most) in BFN. Seen this lately in most modes, its getting worse. Dont take me wrong, I appreciate the team effort to help balance out the lobbies, so I appreciate the intention, but it doesnt work in the current state at all.
- @malfinman Crossplay wasn't announced for BFN at EA Play, even though it was for Apex which is unusual
- @Shadowphinx101 Yeah so I've heard, big let down. I guess if they planned crossplay for BFN behind the scenes they wouldn't add the AI in the first place.
I like 4 players with 20 AIs Turf Takeover rather than 4 players with 0 AIs Turf Takeover.
I want automatically lobby merging system ASAP.
I don't mind the AI, but they do need to nerf their ability to automatically spot you, even if you're not in their line of sight. I do have to admit, they do have their good points:
- Much more apt to revive team members
- Sunflowers & Scientists actually heal teammates
- Don't chase you all around the map because you vanquished them and hurt their feelings. I'm referring to Suburbination & Gnome Bomb where vanquishes aren't the main objective.
It appears that AI vanquishes don't register in your stats? Does anyone know if that's the case?
A.I. are one of the worst things added here’s how they can be fixed.
- Make it so they don’t have aimbot, it’s hard for players to sneak around and makes it harder playing as smaller characters and drones
- Give the same amount of xp for defeating a player
- Only add A.I. if the teams are unbalanced, not missing a few players. For example, if it’s a 9v5, four A.I. should be added to the team lacking players and if it turns into a 8v5 with players, remove one A.I.. This is to keep teams balanced and not fill all missing spots
- I saw a YouTubermake a good point. It’s not necessary, but maybe give some A.I. costumes so they aren’t obviously bots..
I hope the devs see this.
- @agqwpe663oe6 Agreed. But the biggest problem is how the lobbies are now spawned. It constantly creates new lobbies. Full of AI. It takes just few ppl to go into game AI fills rest so they dont have to wait and game begins and you have tons of lobbies just like that. And if the game is mid/late it wont search for current lobbies but will create a new one with couple of ppl again. Thats wrong. There was no lack of players at least on consoles theyre just scattered across lobbies with AI, this can be fixed. And AI really should only sub for quitters and uneven teams to balance out the games not spawn games with 4 real ppl and 12 AI. AI should be here as little help to make the game better not mess it up even more which it did.
Has anyone noticed how it’s basically impossible for the Zombies to win on the last objective on Loggy Acres, or is it just me? 🤔
Here’s an equation: what does no sprint and no abilities plus aimbot Al trying to vanquish you equal? You cannot win. 😕
The other thing I want to point out is the Al tend to cluster where you have to place the bombs, so as soon as you’re in their line of sights, you’re gonna be mowed down. Something should be done about this, along with Al in general. 🙂
