AI and how useless and worthless they are...

[blaadjuh]

The AI sucks big time, it blocks you, pushes you in front of enemy and even drive in to you constantly, they dont fire if they are in the danger zone to get damage themselfs it seems and 3..4 bots can stand in the middle (red and blue together) and dont do ♥♥♥♥,they dont act to anything except their path thats been set when they are 'idle' They suck balls and i see update after update but they forget the damn gameplay and rather bring updates that create $ for them it seems... very unsatisfied about the cheapass basic programmed AI personally and i cant imagine i am the only 1....will there ever be a AI update so they become atleast a bit more intelligent ?????

AI can oneshot your cabin from across the map. i think their crappy pathing is a nice respite

But it sucks when you've got a wandering/stuck AI on your team.

[lieutenantduran]

what PS are you playing at? at high PS the AI takes about half your machines health to kill.

Are you sure you're not talking about Players?

I've only seen Bots act like you described in very low powerscore matches.... Like between 1500 and 2000 power score matches.

[lieutenantduran]

ah okay i'm refering to 10,000 power score matches

[Captainn]

Yeah, they can be a pain to kill in the 8k range as well. But they also pull the same derp moves that you see in lower levels

if u are to stupit and u drive directly into the weapons of the bots they can kill u, yes.. but mostly the game will be a better game if empty player slots would not filled up by bots... ^^

If you drive into the weapons of players they can kill you too. Sure players can be a bigger threat, but as I said above... players can be equally stupid and more of a detriment to a team than bots. That is just the nature of players.

The bot AI is offset by having access to significantly more powerful weapons and modules then the average player. Truthfully, all that really needs to happen is that the bot vehicle library needs to be expanded and certain restrictions removed.

Basically, have the PvE purple bots be in PvP battles.

The Crossout bots are one of the I´ve seen so far. (Just gonna ask: which is your favourite bot? Mine is Sophia)

i do play at a lower ps score, but should the ps matter...do bots really have to act like i describe at lower ps ? i think the AI is really bad and i dont think it should matter what ps you play, the AI should be better then it is atm and i am just wondering if there are any future plans to do something about the bad AI, remove them completly ? Update/upgrade ? something ??

Bot behaviour is largely dictated by the weapons they have mounted. At lower power scores, the list of weapons they have access to is extremely limited. This forces a lot of them to adopt the agressive close-in fighting behaviours.

Ramming, rushing, and brawling are basically the only AI options they get.

At higher power scores you'll see a wider diversity of bot behaviour. And though they will still be suicidal and or stupid... they are not weak or worthless.

we simply don't need bots in PLAYERversusPLAYER, because it is PLAYERversusBOTS.. if i want to play with bots i play a game mode against bots only ^^

The Bots are added to groups to help fill out the roster. Which means if you are encountering Bots in PvP - then you do NEED them... because there are not enough Players to have a full Player Verses Player match.

Removing the bots would mean that the match making 'brackets' would need to be expanded to encompass more players - which further eschews the Power Score Balance or sit and wait until there are enough players to fill the game - which already can be some what lengthy.

I would rather play the game then stare at a Timer.

i find bots can often times help move the match along. be it, pushing an objective, or just getting in a brawl with other bots. a few players will hide in the back. and wait until the time runs out.
