Declined Add BOTS in MM

[LunaStar 348]

Hello,

 

 

Since the game is not much popular. Therefore while in match making we keep waiting for 5 minutes even sometimes players wait for 10 min. in which they lose a lot of time to load the battle. This is unfair.

 

For example if someone got 1 hour to play the game and to complete the challenges almost loading takes 5-10 mins even sometimes 30 mins he waste about 40 minutes in loading and 20  minutes he play

 

If the devs add the BOTS in the game it will help a lot they need to set the bots according to the ranks

For example:

Recuirt - Warrent officer 1 = M0s / M1s etc

Warrent to First Lietinent = M1s/M2s etc

So that players don't have to wait and there balance will be good. This is just an idea

Declined.

 

I think one of tanki marketing slogans (I don't remember it literally) is you play against real people only. Not to mention that it is also one of the main feature of the game that makes it so unique and interesting is the fact that we don't have bots in this game. Bots would be a long and difficult feature to program and they wouldn't really improve the gameplay all that much. I really don't see the point on having automated turrets shooting at you. New strategy techniques - yes, but I'd rather have other, more exciting new features.

There could be big drones that come to help an outnumbered team. Easy to program.

 

1 drone in place of 1 less player a team has.

 

It could shoot like a Vulcan or a laser weapon, constant but weaker damage, until a new player joins the team.

 

1st drone in could fly above eam home, 2nd in the middle, and so on.

 

And they shoot the enemies that are closer to them.

Cept MM is AI-esh

Are you talking about the game or the players?  :D

[ILiveOnTheChatBox123 936]

I understand you are tired of waiting-but you really want to play with bots who would either screw everything up-or play too good-and they would be too consistent.

Although I do understand you would give up having others on the chat-and dropping gold boxes-but this means no teamwork or Isidas.

[u812ic 1,629]

Nope, no AIs or Bots.......CYBORGS UNITED with collective thinking and hive instincts. What one Cyborg knows, they aallll knoooow.

Find it rather childish people would dismiss bots entirely. Bots are a good tool to making empty battles full and helping a team out when most needed. There can be clever ways to make a bot weaker or stronger too. This game isn't unique by having no bots, most MMO games nowadays have no bots and it's dumb to expect players to always fill the holes, especially when matchmaking takes so goddamn long at times, so there's nothing unique about this game having no bots, stop lying, Hate.

Bots can't consistently adjust to situations like real players can, plus it'd probably require a huge amount of money and time to even program them this way.

Tanki X already had decent bots built in before. They were only as good as a recently adjusted new player would be, but if they take that and just improve the code over time, like they have riddled out cheat systems over time. Besides what task does TO team over at AG even have to do right now? Some skins and a set of a new weapon and hull? Nothing particularly much to be honest. Remember the bots were put in for April Fools in TX of all things, so clearly they have the time and resources to make this happen.

 

And if you knew anything about programming, you would know about genetic algorithms and TAS algorithms that people use for creating computer-run speedruns of games. If anything, a bot could potentially become better at playing the game than the best player in the game currently plays, so you are 100% wrong when it comes to having bots adjusting to situations.

TX is a completely different game from TO with a different team of devs than what TO has.

 

Post proof that it worked in TO, otherwise this statement that you made will be considered irrelevant.

What the hell are you talking about? This is exactly what nonsense looks like. You can't prove anything that hasn't been tried, I'm not a test driver of TO how the hell am I supposed to do that?

 

As I said THE ONLY WAY to know is to test drive them in the game, may be test server. And if they are not used for MM, they can be used for PRO battles.

 

And no, TO is not completely different from TX. They have different graphics, engines and different economy, but matches are pretty much the same with match making. Making the point of "X is completely different to Y, therefore your argument is invalid" is the most get-out-of-jail free card crap I've heard. Saying that doesn't make having bots in the game invalid, it is not a counter-argument, it's a void statement without any reasoning to it. Give me reasons for why bots would actually be a bad idea in the game, then may be I'll take your point more seriously, but right now, you might as well be saying "I am higher rank than you, your point is invalid" and you would have just as much power to your point as you have demonstrated just now; aka NONE.

And they still have to make one. And even if they do it would defeat the purpose of a PvP game which tanki is.

 

Besides like I said, bots can't adjust to situations like real players can. They'll just glitch out at times, which basically makes them mults.

 

Plus tanki did once have bots in tutorial, but these bots just stayed in one spot and their turrets followed you while continuing to shoot. The tutorial was removed by the way.

1) This so far is the only thing that you have come close to an actual argument. But it is a bit stupid a thing to say. There are players that do only want to play against real players. And if I'm honest, that is very dumb and childish, because of how much a game can benefit from having bots; fill in spots that aren't being taken by players, helping a losing team to not get dominated by increasing its skill level to out-match some of the tougher players on the opponent team, allow players to have something to play in PRO battles with and against when none joins a battle. There is no fun in waiting. Of course prioritising real players over bots should be a thing so as to not have all players in their little corners playing against a bunch of bots all the time. But the overall benefit of bots is far greater when compared to not having them. Your counter argument?

 

2) I JUST TOLD YOU that you are completely WRONG on that. Bots can adapt to a situation if programmed right, especially via genetic algorithms with restrictions placed on them (not pin-targeting targets in a way no player can). You just ignored my reply and said the same thing, what the hell?!

 

And do you know that players glitch out and lose connection? Yeah, bots may glitch out very rarely if programmed well, making them more reliable than any players. They can salvage a match when someone leaves because of bad score despite their team winning.

 

3) What does having bots that stay still in demo have to do with the bots being in the game exactly? You're doing the exact thing I told you isn't how you make arguments, do you listen at all or just make up random crap as it comes to your head and call it a day?

Prove that bots can benefit the game then, you stupid prick. ;)
