Hi all,
Would it be possible to disable the bots on the server, perhaps permanently?
Here are some reasons why they should be disabled:
1) Bots have a tendency to waste vehicles at the beginning of a round, because they spawn faster. So you end up in situations where, in Wake Island for example, bots take off with the planes on the Axis carrier and get killed seconds later by an enemy player, effectively wasting the planes;
2) Population levels in the server have been very high recently, and will most likely continue to be high in the future. In that regard, the need to have bots as placeholders in the server when it is empty (and the server is never empty nowadays) is no longer justified;
3) Some bots are useless, just stand around, and are easy kills for enemy human players. In other words, they just waste tickets, and every ticket counts in Conquest;
4) Bots are terrible teammates and don't listen to radio commands;
5) Most importantly, playing vs bots, for me at least, isn't fun. The average skill level on the server is lowered when they are enabled
Here are some suggestions:
1) Maybe a transition period could be enacted, where the number of bots on the server is progressively lowered for a certain period of time (perhaps 2-3 weeks), until bots are completely removed;
2) Some maps could keep a small number of bots, while others could have them removed completely, to compare player experience in the two scenarios;
3) Depending on player feedback, a decision could perhaps be made to completely remove the bots from all maps, or only keep a restricted number of them in certain maps
4) If bots have to stay, maybe a script could be made to automatically adjust their ratio based on each team's skill level (less bots for the higher skilled team, more for the lesser skilled one)
I wanted to create a poll in this topic but I can't seem to find the option for it, was it disabled?
