Mass BOTS!

[Ukio]

I swore I would never write in this forum again - not because it is mostly pointless, but also of the amount of ridiculous replies afterwards (those you can save for yourself - I do not care).

But check this out and tell me at least 1/3 of my team were not bots!

We killed NOBODY in this game and I did almost nothing - still got 700 points.

[Prophecy82]

So after over 13k matches played, you are telling us that this was your very first blowout match you witnessed?

Lucky you!

Those are not bots, bots actually know game mechanics. This is even more common in T10. T10 BBs and DDs suiciding in and die after 2 min with 4-500 XP in post battle results. Thats why I mostly focus on damage farming the few min the matches last these days. This is what happens when it takes zero skill to grind to T10 or Rank 1 in ranked. Many players just pay themselves to T8-10 without even learning the game and those are WGs best customers.

Ukio... wasn't that the planet which was tricked into surrender by Grand Admiral Thrawn by confronting the notoriously naive Ukians with an apparently impossible phenomenon?

I've see so many blowouts ... but this is just utter "overkill"..
You score 200 points by just sailing - these were bots. Yes, not something unseen.

I am stunned by the amount of them!

"When you get the Co-op enemy team as your actual team in randoms" 

 

Well, hideous team imbalance aside, this is why I liked having Brawl and Arms Race along with any other different battle mode in this game. That way, when one battle mode becomes a series of total sht-shows, I/we could always switch to a different battle mode and move on. As it stands now, there is only randoms and ranked sprint for solo play in regards PvP mode(I think? clan battles is not solo) so if one of those two battle modes is piszing you off it's highly unlikely changing from random battles to ranked is going to cheer you up or offer you a notably different "fun" alternative.

We have a subsection of our Discord called "counting roflstomps" dedicated to screenshots like yours in the OP. 

Half a year ago it was at #180ish.

What you should be stunned about is how this game developer has seemingly been able to destroy their pvp game by focusing on loot. What you are seeing is loot collectors farming their goodies. These are not bots mate.

Who would have guessed that Snowflakes can cause this...

Exactly. This game is a farming simulator. Naturally there will be a lot of vegetables.

Somehow all the bots/lootcollectors are on your team but none on the enemies team?  Very unlikely. 

 

It's just how the cookie crumbles. The game starts with 12vs12.  But for you know 1 is AFK. Some BBs (if not all) hide behind the first island they see (probably the island even behind their spawn point). 1 of your DDs doesn't move forward but tries that weird I-will -circle-around-strategy and will never be in the game. Before you know it it's actually 7vs12  (even if nobody has died yet).

True, but as matchmaker is very RNG, it is possible all loot collectors could be on one side for this match specifically ^^

It’s been widely and repeatedly mentioned that T10, have become a joke, thanks to the WG Developer level of intelligence, as thick as Fcuk and WGs failure to properly manage the game,  which because of Santa crates will only get worse, I had a run In on another topic with someone who’d had 33Wr over 11 games and ap their stats were crap, he replied that he let his son play, age ?, so sod the 11 other players then,   And and all modes are now occupied by a lot of people who never even look at the map.  This is all on WG and it will not get any better !!.

But aren't the goodies practically limited to T10 ships? These are not T10 ships. 

 

Unless there's some other goodies I'm not seeing? I hope there is because so far it's been crap, basically just a typical bs Dockyard grind which ultimately I'm not going to buy anyway.

Wut? There is steel to be farmed, coal, dockyards to be grinded. Lootboxes to be earned. Novorosiysk ships to be collected. I have 35-45 missions active in port constantly. It's insane.

ive seen Several recently, Most notably had a top tier Shultz DD charge the enemy, spot several of them, but he didnt fire his guns, torpedoes or anything he sailed into the enemy team and got torpedoed by a Myoko i take a quick gander at his stats and oh dear 
60+ battles in Shultz.... just over 2,000 average damage.... one of the most important ships on the team ( being a Top Tier DD and all ) and that is what we get and he isnt alone, ive seen a couple of people with auto-aim bots that dont understand how to move ( so they sit where they spawn shooting shells at anything spotted ) 
ive also seen a couple who appear to be afk, until they get spotted, only then do they start to move... so i do wonder how many of these bot programs are out there

i think with the Grind of all the simulations missions we have currently, alot of people are setting up botting programs to simply grind through the experience, either to play after or to flip the account on Ebay and its frustrating beyond all belief when you lose a close game after watching your top tier DD simply be a bot

Why repeat the Dockyard and Lootboxes like they're something new I didn't literally just mention? The loot boxes need T10 ships to amass the required tokens, the screenshot as already mentioned does not feature T10 ships so that's not their reason. The Dockyard is nothing new, just some periodical thingy and gets done faster by playing better, effectively reducing the amount of battles needed to grind the various stages, so playing like a dimwit as featured in the screenshot doesn't really suggest it's for the Dockyard. Playing Ranked Sprint for steel is T10 only right now, those aren't T10 ships so it's not a ranked battle then. For the Snowflakes and Novoro? Possibly but it's far easier to just go full-tard mode in Co-op for that which tend to be faster battles than randoms but perhaps going flank speed up a map and dying asap in randoms, then leaving and rinse and repeating is slightly faster than Co-op.

Im not talking about the tier X lootboxes mate. TX is a grind for tokens :-)

 

This game is a looter. Especially now.

What other lootbox missions can we play for and how many lootboxes? Maybe I got them already with just regular play and I didn't notice.

4 small xmas gifts or whatever its called I saw somewhere in the missions tab. Next to the normal crate stuff going ob as well. I dont really pay attention to the stuff. When I open the game and see a 45 mission count I simply try to ignore it and do what I came to do, play a match or two with mates. 

 

Ive seen 6 out of 8 hooooorible dd players in my last match today, and they were just really bad players, not bots.

its always been that way.

[Ukio]

....24 hours later - now that's a classical BLOWOUT, but I guess at least the Yoshino and the Hindenburg were bots - they died immediately - no maneuvering, not even shooting that much.
