No bots in weave?

[Victor van Void]

Would have been nice to have known that before I bought it...

[Victor van Void]

too late

[Victor van Void]

I played the omens map already and completed it.
It's not abig thing anyway, I just have to find enough people I like playing with now. I don't like playing with strangers I can not talk to.

What's this weave? Map or mode? I'm looking to play with bots too...

[Crts]

Good to know. Thanks OP.

Anyone know if they have plans to add bots for this mode?

They won't add bots because the Weaves are balanced to be played with 4 human players.

Weave mode is a new game mode with the old maps, a bit redesigned and a set of random modifiers. You got to complete simple tasks and harvest "essence" which you use to buy and upgrade a new set of gear. You can't use your normal gear so it is starting at Zero.
As you progress the difficulty of the maps rises.
Maybe you can't play with bots because the essence you harvest is not shared? that would be the only reason that'd make sense.

What is the difference in balance between bots and players?

Thanks for the replies everyone, that's too bad!

There's no random modifier though. Script of enemies is fixed, and you know what wind modifier is applied before.
You can't play with bots because of the competitiveness of this mode. Especially since mods that changes bot behavior is allowed.
You have a 1-player leaderboard that proves that you can complete this mode like a boss.

This is also why it's not random, so everybody can compete with the same environment.

so if I play the same weave map twice it has the same set of modifiers?
I thought they were random (or would vary at least) to have higher replayability.

Leaderboards include a section if weave is completed solo.

Even more disappointing. I really, really and I mean really don't care about leaderboards... ;)

Hahaha of course not

This is FatShark we're talking about 😂😂

Well the deeds provide varying moifiers to there was no reason to assume it wouldn't be the case with weaves....

It's just actually a smart point for a COMPETITIVE mode. If the competitive part is not for you, then the whole mode is not for you.
In diablo 3, randomness cause some issues where you just reroll your great rifts to have a better deal, and it's not the most interesting part of it.

On the replayability part, all your 120 weaves change each season, so it should be replayable just fine (I guess you won't need to learn the 120 weaves in order to complete the first half)

So we have to write off an entire gamemode because of a feature 90% of people don't care about, If it's such a big deal for the tryhards to see themselves on some list somewhere then simply give the option whether to use bots and don't record scores for runs with them active.
