bugs and unbalanced gameplay also included in that bonus?

[SporkZilla 1,775]

still no new information about increases in module prices

[Deceptive-Hope_EN.PL 162]

Yeah, bots may help a bit for newbies. At least they can learn basics from them. But still, fighting a bot and fighting a real player are 2 different things. No bots on middle and high ranks, please!

About feedback shown on V-LOG, I don't see such comments under episode 382 on Tanki Online EN channel. Am I blind or have you removed that comments?! How can you explain it? There are only some children who write comments about answers to Question of the Week and giving a nickname from Tanki Online. Yep, they don't know how to send answers in google form, which is in description. Nice manipulation, not only manipulating real number of players in the game, but also the feedback under V-LOGs. *facepalm*

I felt a little nostalgic about the welcome back bonus, but... won't last long. The bonus is very good, but not for long? Really? You're not trying at all to bring "old" players back to the game, at least for a long time. No wonder this game is getting worse and worse.

I'd much rather play with bots in the high ranks than extreme tryhards.

May be you ARE the try hard in the view of those bots.

 

We all know the Devs are trying to fill the lobby with bots (Guess why ). But I don't think the experience will have any difference. A lot of the players are playing like bots anyway.

If I was, then I'd be abusing broken things like crisis, emp stun ap pulsar status augments, etc. But I dont, so I'm not a tryhard. Maybe you should think about your words before you start accusing people.

I just want to be able to play a few chill battles in the high ranks. But I can only do so in the low ranks.

Oh ok. I didn't ask for your opinion though.

Don't have a sense of sarcasm huh? Try-hard is purely subjective. From a bot's point of view, everyone else is a try-hard.

 

Of course everyone will want to "rather play with bots in the high ranks". Who will say no to easy money, XP, high K/D, and the joy of slaughtering people? This is a PVP game after all and the only purpose of playing this game is to win. High rank is less chill because that's where all the unbalance game mechanics mostly get involved.

Didn't see the end of the sentence, my bad then.

But you could also say that the bot wont care about dying over and over again. Nor will they call a player out because they feel like it.

I hope they are attacking bots. Not stupid camper bots. The most I play are CTF and Siege. So, I want the bots to run to flag / to run to points to capture them.

Sounds like they're gonna be constantly attacking. And apparently if you hand one of them a flag, it'll try to focus on capping it. Only concerning thing is, I don't know if it'll recognize the situation of where the enemy team also has the ally flag.

[CortoMaltese 26]

Will we get a switch that'll have our own tank play in bot-mode as well? There's loads of useful things the bot-mode could do like finish the challenges for us, grind XP if needed, etc.

The bonus is very good,

Erm.....no its not. 300 of each supplies . As for premium when will players learn that having premium is very bad if you are not A- a legend, or B- any other rank that has the ability to upgrade everything needed at the various stages of ranking. (zillions of crystals needed) Premium ranks you faster, ranking faster means for most players a very weak garage, which means getting your butt handed to you on a very regular basis in battle, so no, premium is not good for lower ranked players.

Spot on. Unbalance being the appropriate word associated with the game as a whole. Bots will never be able to judge a battle the way a normal player can, bots are a waste of time and imo are there as stop gaps, "fillers" to boost numbers. They are putting them in low ranked battles to begin with because at the END GAME ranks bots will just get slaughtered.

Unless they make them OP or mimic real players responses, then bots at very high ranked battles will fail miserably. 

I think fixing the no-damage, the constant lag and getting kicked from battles is more of a priority than working on bots.

Now if there was a way to turn off EXP. Then I'd be all for it. Lol

I would  rather play with real players instead of playing with bots. About tryhards, I simply leave from battle when I see them in enemy team.

I gently disagree, but respect your opinion

In higher ranks, finding a battle with little to no tryhards in it is rarer than gold. Normally, a good portion of a team are tryhards, thus I would often have to suck it up and pull through. Which is why I don't like to play in highranks, unless the reward is worth it.

[Surgeon 261]

Wait, so these players in MM who neither talk nor know how to move a turret weren't bots ? 

[CortoMaltese 26]

Could the bots please get a ChatGPT interface, so that at least someone answers sensibly during battle chat?

In English? Please? Pretty please with whipped cream on top?

[cybernite 93]

Ya I think a good idea there CortolMaltese have a chatgpt tanki and they should look into crobots old tank robot sim game for AI ideas. I'm not sure

how advance these bots will be for driving around. It could take 1-2 years to develop some semi-decent AI for this game.

 

I wonder if anyone has tried using a CAM and some computer vision software... opencl and tried to make there client into a bot; I know for other games

some people do this.

 

I guess at lower ranks it good for trainer battles; but I really like real players in legend games....makes it interesting.... or it will get boring if most players are

bots.

 

[stat.padder 225]

No word about qol update for mobile version?? It's high time for change which will make visible all opponents' protections. It's completely unfair to play all matches where enemies have 50% and easy time against others on phones with 0% protection and mobile players have to blindly change weapons hoping opponents do not have that porticular protection.

So, just about 2 weeks ago - I came back to this game after about 2 years...... Should have waited a bit more............................... Special Case please?

Well it's 13 years and counting and they still haven't fixed the lag or the no damage, or getting kicked from battles and losing all rewards. 1-2 years is very, very optimistic, I will go with a time frame of " NEVER", unless it involves cash, then it will be 24hrs.
