Bots drank the stupid juice

where to even start with this stuff…
i was in a match where a bot was just constantly running into me. just hitting the gas and not letting off. literally running after me, running into me and not stopping running into me and only stopped when my team mate killed them. i have run into this before with shotgun bots where they will just keep driving into you / your cabin and they wont stop or leave you alone, but these ones were scorpion builds and the damn trigger builds. this is extremely irritating to deal with as they act like a magnet and will not stop, back up or drive around you to shoot you. its just as most players do, hit up and shoot.

another issue is bots getting in the way CONSNTANTLY. never have i ever been so fucken frustrated and irritated at these bots. id be lining up a shot, some asshat with legs walks right the fuck in front of me and forces me to lose my shot. im lining up a jotun shot, some bot gets in the way and the mortar hits HIM instead. im lining up a shot and a bot drives right the fuck up my ass either shoving my build completely around a full 180 or drags me along with them forcing me to take damage.
then i have bots that just stop and spin in a circle like they have brain damage and block my path.
even if i am in an area where bots dont normally go a fucken bot somehow goes over to my area and is either behind me or gets in front of me.

then you have actual players who are far worse then the bots but this isnt about them.

i know bots are braindead in pve but omg did they need to fuck up their ai that much to where they are nothing but a hinderance to their entire team?
also to add bots on ml-200 legs will also strafe in front of you back and forth to. so yeah… thats irritating…

also bots apparently get stuck on the capture point now apparently held there by some kind of world shattering magnet. they wont move even out of jotun or fire puddles so yeah… dunno why that is.

This is why I want nothing to do with AI-provided “information” or driverless cars. :unamused:

yeah… another thing i forgot to mention is sometimes the bots will just walk in front of you to or strafe in front of you and get in your way as well. like youd be trying to move around the bot and they just block you from going around.
its just so frustrating.

you got to absolutely fucken love it when a bot shoots and hits YOU with a cannon round when they werent originally aiming for you but someone else instead. i have had this happen to me so much its infuriating. id come around a corner and a round would hit me out of nowhere only to see the bastard who shot me turn and aim for someone else.

Bots are indeed completely stupid but so are bots in basically every game. Nothing new. The only solution is to push for a bit longer waiting time to avoid them, but I am sure Gaijin did the maths and that people prefer waiting 5 seconds less and have a worse experience IG than waiting. I hope that they will change their minds and remove bots from most modes.

I personally play mostly CC and brawl that are guaranteed without bots.

if you want to discuss that stuff discuss it in your own threads.

I haven’t had any bot issues until this…

I just had a battle, this bot didn’t even MOVE for the ENTIRE BATTLE:

That is the spot it started in, and this screenshot was taken while it was the last one alive, right before base capture.
