Bots totally destroy the RO2 Playerbase/Community

I wish I knew some. But I am very happy to see this post
It means that TW does hear the cry for better bots which lead to better multi, better solo and future co-op mode

Maybe the bots are posting in these threads defending themselves
"FOOR STALIIIIINN!!!!!"

"Why does every idiot owning a server think it will be a good thing to add those mindless zombies."
Do you blame it on the Bots or the people that give you a place to play.
ppfff...branleur.

He's not passing blame, just asking as question. A good one.
Why do servers have the bots on?
Either way, we all already have a place to play against bots. It's called single player, or host your own game.
Although, I watched last night as a bot-only server had only 2 players for about an hour. I joined to make it three, and then within 5 minutes we had nearly 10 human players. People just gotta stick with the server for a bit, humans will turn up.

The big deal is that humans spread out, making it take longer to start up servers than if there would have been no bots.
Shorter time alone > Longer time with bots

Whereas now the handful of people that actually start the activity on the server, can get a semi decent game without having to sit there bored on massive empty maps.
You'd prefer a handful of full servers and tons, and tons of empty servers instead?

There is a finite pool of players at any given time. Trying to fill more servers than the actual amount of people who want to play is pointless, you just spread people out into underpopulated servers. To me people who have 60/64 (5 human players) type servers do a disservice to the community. It makes people not even see the genuine servers with players already in and you end up with a playerbase that refuse to join anything but a few select servers that are always populated
If you want to get your server going then put some bots on, but don't take up the top area of the server list. Put a reasonable amount of bots on and then people will join if they want to populate the server, not because they're fooled into joining what they thought was a highly populated one

we need a way to filter servers with bots and those without bots.
So we can easily find a server with only legit human players instead of having to do it manually.
I haven't played in quite some time because of this, I don't play MP games to play with bots.
All of htese server admins can give reasons galore, but it's simply, I join a server an dit's filled with bots, I leave the server.
This is what killed Day of Defeat/CS for me, so many bot filled servers and a huge pita to find legit
populated ones.
If there were no servers with bots, players wouldn't end up getting stuck in bot filled servers, they'd see REAL player numbers of human players and GASP, JOIN THOSE SERVERS.
however when every single bleeding server uses bots, people have spread out, just like what was said in the above post.

I have stopped temporarily with playing RO2.
I`ll wait till the classsic mode comes to the main game.
I become very irritated to get headshots from the AI who are with there back to me and 100m away and while i am running....
Servers must give the ai less skill, this isn`t fun anymore.
And the spawnwaiting loop still exists.

I'm curious about all these people who are somehow shot by bots:
- the bots who are always 100-200 meters away
- the bots are always facing in the opposite direction as if they are running and retreating off the battlefield
- its always the bots who aren't looking at your player, but in your FOV who shoot you
- its never a bot that may be out of your vision who does shoot you
- you are always running as if that makes you impossible to hit
- the bots actually hit you and you are mad because you have a feeling that bots shouldn't be allowed to hit you because they are bots
Seriously though, the only problem I see is if the bots AI is set at the highest settings and server admins fill up the servers with too many bots

Thats the catch 22 of this bot arguement
It's the ones who only want to join a full server wont stay playing one on one for an hour trying to get others to join, they just want a full server, so the reality is bot dont acctaully effect them as they leave as soon as its bots
I suspect if they did the 1 v 1 etc for a few hours they'd change and want bots to start a server - And while agree with the idea you shouldn't put 64 bots on a server - with the limited player base you need something just to hold the one or two die hards who try and fill it and give em sumit to shoot at till the server fills
Course the real answer for the i dont want bots brigade is put up your own server and try and fill it.

the servers should be sorted by numbers of human players without counting the bots this way it's easier for people to meet. But removing the bots (by default) is not needed. it's a hassle to look at the bottom of the screen to actually see how many players are in game.

You can set a variable for bot skill.
I played against some nightmare bots the other day, *uckers kept on shooting me.
You guys never played against Ramm the Sniper, jeez, the only way to get him was by calling in the Arty...

The truth is that there is one perfect fix.
Server should dispaly it like this:
[Human players] (+[Bot players]) / [Max slots]
That would solve everything.
