Bots are ruining the game

Reply

The addition of bots having full arts ON TOP of being full tank units is outright disrespectful to the player base. all it does is make casual play severely difficult and help the already rich. Casuals have to get a perfect map, play near perfect to squeeze out a win and the rich can just farm them and get unlimited amount of arts to gamble into ageless. Its misserable. It only helps the people that are already well off. 

43 and lower was still decent fun and a slight challenge fighting bots for consistent xp, now 44 and above is near un-playable. All you're doing to your player base is telling them everyone needs to charge ridiculous numbers to even beat a BOT by bringing arts of your own. This is ruining the casual experience. I was having a good time returning to this game, now theres much less motive to log in. I may do 1-2 megas a day and thats it. I cant queue random anymore. Like I said, it only helps the already rich to get even more arts. Removing arted bots would make the same so much better. It would make the arts "a bit" more rare, and casuals would still have a good experience.

Hello, 

when the player appears with artifacts in the unit bags in a fight, the bots also have artifacts, and similarly, if the player does not have any artifacts in the units, the bots should appear with normal equipment. This should apply to every level, so please double-check whether you are carrying artifacts. 

Even just one artifact will cause the bots to also bring artifacts, but I could be so wrong because some changes made by the updates couple weeks ago. Read the update log for more informations.

In theory, that’s how it’s supposed to work — bots should only use artifacts when the player has them equipped.
But in practice, that’s not what happens.

From level 35 up to level 50, bots always come with artifacts, even if the player doesn’t have any in their inventory.
This happens in both 1x1 and 2x2 matches.

It would be great to adjust this mechanic to make bots use artifacts only when the player is actually carrying them.
That would make the matches fairer and prevent players who are leveling up without artifacts from being at an unnecessary disadvantage.

I totally agree with you — bots using artifacts all the time between level 35 and 50 really breaks the balance, especially for players who are trying to progress without them.

Another improvement that could help would be to scale bot difficulty based on the player’s equipment quality instead of just the level.
For example, if a player is using basic gear with no artifacts, bots could come with regular items only.
But if the player is using rare or artifact gear, then bots could scale up accordingly.

That way, the challenge would still exist, but it would feel fair and dynamic, adapting to each player’s setup instead of punishing those who don’t have artifacts.

Yes and no. Bots are important for us because the game lacks an active community, but I also agree that these bots do not function properly. how they should :) Bots should adapt to the players. Berserker's argument was that bots are too easy to defeat, which is why they carry artifacts. However, what he doesn't realize is that 80% of the players in the game are newbies, hehe. If there are no other solutions, a possible fix could be to allow bots to have artifacts, but not any type of armor, just regular armors + art weapons should balance it. reason: hard to kill them = armors

I totally agree with you. Bots are really important right now since the community isn’t that active, but the way they’re working doesn’t really make sense.

Your point about giving them only regular armor + artifact weapons is actually a great idea — it keeps the balance without making fights unfair.

One improvement could be to let players choose the bot difficulty before searching for a random match — for example:

  • Easy = normal bots (no ART)
  • Medium = some ART weapons
  • Hard = full ART setup

Each option could give different XP rewards, so players could decide if they want a fast, easy match or a more challenging one with higher rewards. That way, everyone enjoys the game their own way and the bot system finally becomes meaningful.

Good afternoon! The boots really don't follow a parameter, I know level 49 players who in x1 battles the boots use common weapons! In my case, regardless of whether I go with no art, everyone uses ART against me, even if x1 or x2... My level 46 and 50 accounts have been unusable for a while, because they totally unbalance the matches, and on my level 32, 38 and 43 accounts the boots always use arts vests... It should in fact be the boot with art against whoever is using art! This hurt me a lot, unfortunately there was no solution

This was a fact just before I hit level 44 for some reason. 43 and below bots would only wear arts if I brought a one. now they are constantly full arts and I use none. Its made random battle near impossible since I dont even have a good 1x1 build. Everyday I would look forward to a dozen random battles to gain a bit of daily xp but now I feel like my progression has been halted.

The worst part is even if I win a battle vs a full arted bot, I gained the same amount of xp I did when they didnt wear any. plus half the arts they used were personal. Also what if the bots were too easy, Isnt that literally the point? To give players a motive to keep trying to level up if no other players are active? Its not like it was a lot of xp, It still takes a hell of a long time to try to level fighting bots. Do you know what is "too easy"? half the player base doing fake battles. Thats the problem. Bers you need to change something
