Vegeta.2563 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 We can report these players over and over, but it feels like nothing actually happens. These are the kind of bots I'm talking about..https://clips.twitch.tv/FurtivePopularHumanDuDuduThe use of these kind of automated gameplay tools should be subject to account termination, no warnings, no do overs.

Ziggityzog.7389 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 How dare you. Bots are people too (the one that programs them). Sadly no one at the company cares. Especially when the player community has pointed out there are bots that play 3,000+ games a season. Still they dont care.If you try to take ranked or pvp in general as competitive play then you will only be let down. Bots and wintrading basement trolls are what run the ranked cesspool these days.There's no competitive scene like there was pre HoT or even seasons 1-4. Gw1 is more competitive then gw2 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadMed.3846 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I had 2 bots in game today on my alt account and we lost 450-500. I'm amazed at how capable these bots are.It's ridiculous how common it's getting. I was doing placements so I've got no idea what tier it was.I really think that Anet needs to come out and accept this failure at least and show us some light to get this resolved.

raistlinx.4906 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 To be fair, I've had players that I thought were bots and turned out not to be. I don't doubt there are bots because I have seen them get 'stuck' etc. But I'm not sure we don't often label players who don't speak or respond as bots.

As much as people complain about yolosmith, you do have to have decent reactions and decent timing to have the most impact. Bots lack a sense of timing and smart reactions.It wouldn't be surprising to see one playing a pre-nerf scrapper because it also doesn't require that much thought. But pre-nerf scrappers couldn't capture much either.@FOX.3582 said:@BadMed.3846 said:I had 2 bots in game today on my alt account and we lost 450-500.

Not necessarily. I've seen bots in games in core GW2, and they tend to stack up together -- they actively zerg together. For players who like to go alone, this can be dangerous. But if you realize they're bots, you can pull them around the map and mitigate their threat, as the original clip shows. This is slightly harder in the older maps that had fewer jumping puzzles.

That's just nonsense. A bot is bad for the game either way. The two bots were on my team. Yet we got so close in the end. That in itself is ridiculous and highlights the issue that the bots are too smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Curze.5130 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Without bots queues wouldnt pop. That's how utterly dead spvp isIt wouldnt even surprise me one bit if a bunch of those bots were ANet's, trying to fake that spvp still has an audience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bast.7253 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 About 90% of my unranked games tonight have been bots. And all of the matches so skewed that if I were a new player trying it out for the first time I would just uninstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaverick.6104 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I cant stop thinking that the bot thing is an excuse for not doing better, something to blame for that. Even in matches there will be complaints about team being bots if it doesnt go well. I think i play enough to notice if there are bots, but i cant see anything obvious. At least not to the extent suggested in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engal.6359 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Been months since I've seen a bot tbh. Mby there's less on NA? It would make sense since most of the devs would be NA players right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also a problem with the game mechanics and balance, that professions like Mirage and Weaver can be used for bots too easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not to the extent suggested in this thread.Got one in my friends list with over 1k games. It's a mesmer which runs both condi signets, it's running signets so it can just sit on you and do dps rotations. It's rotations are so perfect it's actually in gold 2. The thing does not stop moving for the entire game, it does not talk either. So I was in a match with a few plat players and we just could not carry it, eventually we all gave up and it repeatedly ran out of the gate to close and suicided right up until the very last second of the game. To fight against it you quite simply evade perfectly and cc and burst the hell out of it and you win every time. Some players are trying to fight it defensively which means they lose because it is permanently doing dps rotations, no blink or moving away or anything, you just have to burst it down fast. They are out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
