Yup, total victories really tell the story, but the revised league system catapults you right up the ranks regardless.

Hmmm, thats interesting. I havent played at all lately, and my Son may not necessarily recognize AI type behaviors, but I will tell him what to look for. In any case, I may be able to validate that via various methods either way. Gotta get my shovels out again

I recently tried out a new account to see what the initial climb is like. I got to level 20 silver (nearing gold) and was still seeing what you describe. I also figured they were fill-ins to boost player numbers AND give players a huge reward for the slightest bit of strategy, lol. In my matches they are Silver - Expert leagues and, the way they play, no one can be THAT clueless. And it sounds like these AI-Bots are spread throughout the league system. Armored Attack cannot come soon enough. (Oops, did I say that out loud?) |

Absolutely agree that there are AI players in lower leagues, I’ve been suspecting this for a few weeks/months now. I posted this on my YT channel over a week ago because I couldn’t believe how horrible the reds were in this sequence. Just watch the slow reaction times and overall cluelessness, I started freespazzing around their spawn just to see how long my foolishness could last 🤣 Rollo Tomasi knows my antics playstyle usually doesn’t last very long even in masters majority games which this was |

Ive seen a bunch of masters 3 and 2s with less than 1000 victories and all mk2 or mk3 gear…and they seem to just run to me one by one and not in groups…makes it easier for me to kill them one by one…which may inflate my stats lol

maybe these AI bots are how Pixonic counters taking... You want to go seal clubbing? Ok, but the seals aren't going to have much meat on them...

i think pixonic has enough of me bullying the AIs and have started giving me real players, particularly champs...pix has enough of me not dying to mk2/mk3 gear fast enough

My 7 year old nephew often plays with my account, every time I log back in after he’s done I get a good chuckle at the combos he comes up with.
Not everyone that places this game has to shave their ear hair you know lol

Experienced this. I reckon there are several reasons. Some are tankers, some are inexperienced, some are scripted bots by the players to harvest resources and probably to tank. Scripted bots are rather common in FFA and they commonly shoot everything for about 2 mins and dont respawn. Weapons are homing bullets and stuff and in particular i see truckloads of Kitsume harpies with razdors in FAA that fit this bill. However, at times, the above reasons seem to be insufficient. Like in BB 's video (which was hilarious), about 1 in every 3 games, I run a muck with a well built 1.12 Loki at their spawn. About half of my games are dedicated for the attempt to rush the red spawn area with a Loki (fun and giggles). Yesterday got matched with 3x M1s, 2xM2s and 1xM3 and ended up with 22 kills. That should not happen and it doesnt happen when proper players are involved. I shoot most of them in the back including titans after they spawned and ran back behind the spawn area at Yama to do it over again. The reds just advanced towards the centre of the mass of the blue attackers most most of whom were near the ramp area. If not for such, lets say for arguments sake, unusual/risky approach, the red's lack of decent play would not be obvious besides it being one dimensional and mechanical. The centre of blue mass would see nothing unusual because these bots were advancing and firing. Their damage stats would be lower than usual but not by a massive margin. The other observation is that this sort of outcome happens when Masters players are involved. Dont know, perhaps Pix is putting in Ai bots to maintain their session numbers. Under normal circumstances, looking at the end of game stats, these "players" wouldn't stand out that much. I am not convinced that they are Ai and not tankers/scripters but under the circumstance Ai involvement is also a possible explanation. Perhaps, one way to gain better understanding is to follow one of these players and see how their hanger and stats progresses over time and to see if there is some sort of an anomaly. |
