AI in game?

[zallo03]

I've been getting paired with really generic sounding names and the people do not talk at all. They dont respond to my comments. I tell them where I am and they dont check. And I get paired really quickly regardless of time of day. Are the developers padding the numbers with simple ai?

Were they xbox players? They are the ones that have pretty white sounding names and just not talkative at all. But appart from that, i genuinely think that its just kids playing the game and just having fun with themselves, considering that the WYD Discord server is also has a lot of kids that have kinda broken grammar and just doing things that a little zoom zoom would do

It could be and I've considered it might just be kids. I've had a few games where the daddy floods the house for no apparent reason. Honestly it doesn't make me want to play. Not even worth winning the game at that point.

In my opinion if this is just kids playing the game terribly I really wish they wouldn't. There's plenty of games out there that are easier for young kids to play. Who's your daddy essentially a Sandbox game with objectives and that's a bad mix with young kids. Especially if they are paired with another player who actually wants to play.

You're probably right but I still think it could be AI. Many games that tout multiplayer function are actually just single player with AI. Mostly mobile game though. One of the bits of evidence I did have them might be AI is that when I play with others they don't show up in my recently played with list on Steam.

I'm still playing this game from time to time, because sometimes i do get some decent players, and I'm a competitive player myself (even tho a retired one, for now). Plus we have a competitive group of people like us who gather around to play some matches of WYD and just have fun. I've also noticed that the classic version of the game has more players that actually know what to do (probably because it's more stable and strategic) and theres a bit higher chance in finding decent player in it
