Any option to play solo/with bots?

[HaqRet]

I can see there is no single player at the moment. Is there any way to play with bots? At least to have some support on your back.

even basic ♥♥♥♥♥ bots that can only revive you is all we need right now.
Like come on, how is this not a thing already?

you can go in solo, its hard as hell but its playable, no bot friendlies yet tho i guess the devs plan on adding them later on

No, there is not friendly bots, when you play solo, you are playing completely by yourself.

Yeah, exactly. Reviving is the most important for me now lol. I do not want to learn game basics with random players. Feels like this game is released in a hurry.

Apparently bots are planned to be added at the end of the year. Game is rushed asf. From what I'm seeing the game is almost unplayable for solo players because you have no one to heal you. And they want 40$. Ridiculous.

Yeah, I have 14 days for refund... We will see if anything will change. Until that I won't play it. Ready or Not is similar and much better. Sad, because I was waiting so long for this game...

yep was gonna buy it thinking the game was a lot further along but everyone saying its basically impossible solo and its just 4 missions with procedural generated maps WHICH DOES NOT = more content

FFs I can't believe they didn't have even basic bots to command. Like op said at least give us bots that will revive and do some basic shooting. They could function like the ones from Vermintide 2 for all I care where they stay on top of you and are basically dumb as rocks. At least they provide a bit of a distraction, and crucially will revive you if they can.

Why does everything have to be multiplayer these days? Even co-op focused games like Vermintide 2, DRG, L4D2, etc. All of those were smart enough to include some kind of bot companions so as to not eliminate the singleplayer experience entirely.

Idk man I'm tired of singleplayer being always treated as a second class experience. This is a game that should really be more about the immersion which is always going to be stronger in a sp context.

We wanted to take more time with our friendly AI so players can have the full experience of commanding them around the AO. This is coming in Q4, per our roadmap.

So maybe untill Q4 you can add additional training map? With enemy bots, bigger map and for example, option to enable God mode/disable reviving? It would be easier to be done. And allow players solo gameplay.
