Bots...

[Timmy]

Do they put you against bots in games? The way some of these "players" move just seems off no one uses chat too even when I ask if they're bots O_o

[Vivianite]

there are bots yeah

[Wolfkin1983]

Allot less people use chat in online games these days. Most just don't want to deal with the toxic side of gaming so they disable voice and ignore text unless they are playing with friends. Very common with PVP based games as those tend to be the most competitive and toxic.

I understand that but when not a single person is communicating and they all play weirdly it just seems like they're bots. I'm a few games in, I figured the first couple of games were with bots but now it just seems like the devs are trying to trick me into believing I'm playing with real people...

Bots have full profiles, as if the devs are trying to fool us? Try adding people as friends after the game, in the MVP screen. If it says you cant add them, theyre very likely a bot.

Yeah, I never plug in my microphone, and disable all chat in every game I play. I don't want to hear people, they say "Bro" every 2-3 seconds, and play awful rap music through their microphones. Yuck.

I think its because the Queue uses your selected rotation of mechs, I rarely get put on the same team as another Narukami main, and after having my mech pool limited to ONLY narukami I haven't seen one since.

So a lot of new players are gonna be playing bots because they didn't buy the 3k ones and only got the starter.

I unlocked 5 mechs just in case someone picked my main one so I dont think thats apart of the issue for me.

Really does seem like they're trying to trick people really puts me off of a game I'd otherwise love. Trying to add them is a good idea.

Every Chinese game has bots and tries to hide the fact with random names and fake player profiles. Apparently bots only stop once you hit Grandmaster rank. This is such a stupid idea since you can't de-rank the majority of players will hit Grandmaster and there will be zero separation of players by skill level. Pretty much grind to unlock what is considered "Normal" matchmaking in every other game.

every time i spectate a narukami i see that's a bot, it's so obvious, why would they hide it

Tried to add people in two games only one friend request went through the rest all got blocked lmao

Is this game dead on arrival or something? I checked steamdb and it say there are like 50k people playing not sure how accurate that is.

If only people had better spines like they did in 2005... That was PEAK social online gaming there.

With how high the skill ceiling is i expect alot of people wont talk. More and more people dont know how to behave in a competitive environment. Meaning criticism if you suck...
