So, I understand how fatshark wants to push the coop experience and use the bots only as temporary place holders if someone drops during a game until the next person joins in. I’m not opposed to this idea.
But what I noticed during the beta was the difficulty this brings when you are not coordinated with your friends. In V2 I go online, check who’s there, send them a message and join them if possible. If they are already in a full lobby I start a game and they drop in whenever they’re ready.
That is not possible anymore, leading to people waiting in the lobby for up to 20 minutes or longer, because if I then start a game, my buddy/ies would have to wait for me to finish. And I don’t have so much time for gaming anymore that I like to stand around doing nothing.
So I’d really like the possibility to start a game with bots. Even if it is forced public after 10 minutes or something. Or stuff to do in the hub that is actually fun and useful.
You and me both. My brother and I play these sorts of games together and we don’t like having to deal with randos. The game absolutely needs an option to disable matchmaking like they had in VT2.
Sadly the bots seem massively downgraded over VT2 bots. DT bots were getting rekt on the second difficulty, meanwhile VT2 bots could handle the 4th difficulty, aka Legend.
I hope the bots get improved, it’s like being down a team mate if you don’t have a full team of humans in a match because of how stupid the AI players are.
Max Level bots Set up right could. Ive seen enough legend lobbies with waystalker/pyro,… Bots or bots <lvl 35.they cant handle legend either.
But even if so, given time the Player could become skillful enough to carry the bots for the first Part until reinforcement comes.
Fatshark obviously wants to push the coop aspect and if that’s their Plan, more Power to them. But I See exactly this aspect made more difficult by hindering me playing with the people I want to play with.
Im sorry but how do you know this to be true? because it wasnt in the closed beta or have they actually said you cant do it?
you couldnt alter mouse sense or invert Y in the beta either but im fairly confident it will be in the release version.
the game is going to force online but i see no reason tot hink it will prevent solo /private lobbies. basically if you could do it in v2 id expect you will in this unless you heard otherwise?
