I'm thankful for bots

(NthLegion) #1

I’m really glad when my freeplay games aren’t full, because that means my team gets a couple of bots. And, without bots, I would NEVER GET A SINGLE ******* BUFF!

I exaggerate a little, but not much.

With the dwindling community… the bots are a lifesaver

That’s funny!

I laugh when my team runs away before I can buff them and I end up buffing a bot.

Imagine if there were no bots. How much fun with this game be with 2 vs 1 player total and no bots filling up the rosters?

Yeah, exactly…

The game will never die as long as bots stay, and with the dlc patch, the bots are suppose to get even more advanced

The real problem is, that most servers have bot skill on absolute low-- so they are just cannon fodder if they manage to get to the frontline. The brushed up bots are a bit nicer.

I’m not actually praising the bots, I’m criticizing players who don’t buff their team.

You can make a game objective/team-based, but you can’t make all of the players play the game as a team. You’ll always have kill-obsessed lone wolf wannabes who end up with the most kills but make very little actual contribution to the team. :stroggtapir:

Fortunately, as big as the teams are, that’s not really a big deal, since, as you said, the bots make up for the lack of human team players.

Those who are kill-obsessed are typically some of the same people complaining about the game and begging for TDM and Free-for-all.

The bots where the killer.

Though I can see that the intention of the post was to scold bad players not praise bots (it’s true many times, specially considering that bot medics practically ‘live to revive you’ :smiley: ), I must say that the option of having bots was one of the draws of Brink itself for me, I’m tired of multiplayer games that though good don’t have bots so when people flock away from them to play the newest thing or go back to one of the main multiplayer games (it always happens one way or another) the game becomes unusable. Brink would already be absolutely dead if it weren’t for the bots as bad as they might be at times.

I remenber watching some youtube splash damage interview where they sayd if 1 player droped 1 bot would take his spot. But what happens in reality is that servers are filled with 16 bots by default and if 1 human joins 1 bot drops.

I dont get whats the point of playng in servers filled with bots, for that I don´t need a internet connection, just play offline : o

For PC, I think its all about how the server is setup.

(nick1021) #15

Only 2 servers are full really. You don’t have that many players to play with.

Yes I know he ignored me.

Quoted so he can read your ****tery.

I tend to go buff crazy at spawn and respawn. Perhaps too much as one minute into the match and you really need the pips and they are all gone. Doh. I find bots have a better mix of when to buff when not to buff. They are not so great at ammo sharing though on the sp campaign.

(nick1021) #17

Yup, right there. Ignore the facts and just use an insult.

(Je T´aime) #18

Yes im a pc player complaining about bots in pc servers D :

I would enjoy a lot more playng 5 vs 5 humans rather then sometimes one team with 6 bots 2 humans the other team with 8 humans and etc.

Why don’t more people who have nobody to play with play with people on this forum? Wouldn’t you have a base of at least 15-20 people to play with just on the splash damage forum? Why can’t you connect to a server with other people from here? Coordinate a time and all meet up to play. At the very least, you’d have a lot more fun and a lot more buffing.

(nick1021) #20

Having to go on a forum to get friends to barely get enough people to play is a sign of a dead game.
