We already have the 3rd stage of Bots in MatchMaking already those not turning turret players do they job very good, basically not letting us play as always. 

[Hypersomnia 1,695]

3rd stage of bots should be only Filler for matchmaking (being in your team until REAL player joins and replaces the bot).

tbf you can add stage 1 bots to all ranks already with my filler idea. you would probably not even notice a difference considering half of MM players in big ranks are stage 1 bots already except they're real players. As for players only killing bots, when killed bots should only give you 5xp instead of 40 for example and 1 score in the leaderboard instead of 15 this way people won't try farming bot kills because it's just a waste of time. 

[Cruelty 476]

bots for matchmaking should be trained by players.

[Bamba 188]

Like I said in the past, adding bots (especially in the 3rd stage), can lead to situation where there is less real players in the game and more bots (like a battle with two real players and 12 bots).

Yeah, it's a great idea to do it and allow people to play when there is no much people activity in their ranks, but if you want the game to stay alive, you guys HAVE to focus on inviting new players to Tanki.

And I am talking about NEW players - not someone old with a new account. 

Tanki needs to be focuse on advertising over the internet in addition to all of the plans to stay the game alive (Like we all know, less players means less money)

we already have enough bots in this game lolllll.... scorpion and gauss legend campers who don't turn their turret. I've seen someone who had a 0.2 total kd and had 2000 hours on their account, 99.9% of which was on hornet and thunder (meaning that they never tried any other equipment). If that's not a bot, what is? that person was legend 10+ too

Or they simply could add small maps in MM system so when there are few players just make 2v2

There used to be over 50k players few years back. Now they're planning to botify match-making lmao.    

[Benefactor 6,888]

Bots are OK for the early ranks so the newcomer can get a feel for the game without being trolled by an experienced player.

Yeah, pretty much serves as a tutorial, I like it.

[Poeiaah 60]

there are already bots for low rankers with thanks to this MM system

[avengeful 111]

But what is considered low ranks and for what ranks will this stage 1 and 2 be applied to?

[PirateSpider 1,489]

I think this is a great idea as it'll technically solve the problem of large rank gaps, and will also solve the new players vs experienced players with new accounts dilemma.

[HardKnockLife 56]

Don't add bots to the game, bots will ruin the game and be the nail in the coffin of this game ! No one will want to play, if the game is predictable !

Unfortunately, low rank matchmaking is currently unbearable when you have "unpredictable" high rank players smoking newbies.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I suggested bots a long time ago.

[SporkZilla 1,775]

Bots are probably needed for low ranks

The alts I created for the token of apology are now WO 4/5 with max brutus and 4-10 fire and wasp (no modules, some have useful augs), nearly 5K GS, but I often end up in battles where the rest of my team and the entire enemy team are ranks 2-8 with most having less than 1K GS

If I was a brand new player facing that, I doubt I would stick with the game, especially in crystal box battles where I can't even pick up supplies

Obviously, the long-term solution (for all ranks) is more players via advertising regardless of how incomplete the devs think the game is, but can't see that happening until it's too late

Will bots give XP points and crystals?

[Bullock69 29]

There's just nothing to say. I have already seen many empty promises and unpolished updates. Where are the promised contracts and presets?

[xXx_ALPHA-BEAST_xXx 291]

this game don't need bots already 90% population is bots .

true , why anyone eagerly go for kill a bot when he already know the result that i am supreme.

better is that u give penalty on player who doesn't follow the game mode rules.

if u playing cp at least cap 5 point

tdm at least kill 15 player 

similar like that or u will be punished harder .Oo yes harder sokee

[Bydo 20,119]

sorry but I disliked Bots in Tanki X and its starting to look like I'm not a fan of them from what I get from the v-log. it's coming across as another Jug battles.

also the way it's coming across is that a players Kill / death ratio will not be good on accounts. for example - if your a bot and you kill others you will be getting more k ratings where as if someone is trying to destroy a bot its more then likely not have that many deaths on them.

the funny thing was I was planning on going on my lower ranks to get them ranked up but now I'm not sure .

[SulfuricAcid 504]

The third stage would happen in a very far future if the first two stages get along well meanwhile. Thus, my prediction is that the addition of bots to MMS would work  for mid-range ranks so as to avoid players of higher range ranks to join their rank-bracket .

[cybernite 93]

Anyone see Crobots before? Maybe they will have a MM mode like Bot Wars and you can craft an AI Bot tank combo and put them into battle, and spectate.

Or have AI Bot Factions and face them; then we can play 24/7 heh...

sounds bad, like the music that have been played for a while

[soviet.reunion 76]

about the part where a bot cannot behave like an actual player... my opinion is the same as the I robot scene that you purposely took out of context. 

So what if a bot can't behave like an actual human? Tanki is full of players worse of than that.
