Bot invasion on random battles?

[Admiral_Noif]

Today I feel that have seen or sense many bots in random battles. When I observed my battles and I sense that there was some things what real player cant do at all .... and some even carried bot_(nick) above ships. Does anybody else had same feel or seen today?

[Corvi]

There are a lot of bots around lately. Typical behavior: They afk the entire game right until the first shell lands on them or an enemy enters their detection range, that suddenly wakes them and they get alive and start shooting at stuff. Also something that seems common is bots that take their ships into the nearest corner on the map and just sail against the map border doing nothing else, or just sail straight into a cap without shooting or anything and just die there.

[Aotearas]

Sadly have to say I have noticed a good deal of such behaviour that rings my alarm bells too.

 

But then again I'd say overall the quality of play has been plunging during the last couple days to a degree that I typically only see after bit content patches (introducing a new line) or very huge events with massive XP boni. It's a bit puzzling.

just check any stats page and see players with above 60 games per day.. usually all bots.

[xXx_Blogis_xXx]

my first 3 games today , 4x afk , while few just afk at border

[tenacious_torps]

Only ever seem to meet bots, when I'm out of reports. But yes, seems to be more of them around in the last days.

nonsense ... because you do not have much time to play 60 matches so the others do not have time? Many are afk afk for low-quality connection, PC lenses. it happens to me not to be able to enter the battle before it begins, or even do not charge but the game map, and remain firm in prebattaglia until the end

the problem is not bot inensistenti ... but esp hack third party

[Ferry_25]

Hmmmm. IMO you've just encountered the real player base instead of the bots... Like Morpheus said: "welcome to the real world."

You do understand that nobody has time/will/energy/whatever to play WoWS, or any game for that matter 24 hours per day, 10 days in a row?

do you know how much time 60 matches take? if it is 10 minutes average per match it is 10 hours, if it is 15 minutes per match it is 15 hours. and that is of pure gameplay. add sleep, eating and rest and you will see why it is almost impossible for human to play like that for more than few days. and bots do it week after week.

if you have low quality connection and you are afk all the time, then this is not the game for you. sry but stable connection is one of the minimum requirements for the game.

 

but yeah just number of battles per day isnt telling the whole story, usually combination of lots of battles per day with low average damage is best way to see bots. if someone has decent to high average damage and lots of battles per day, he is just an addict

[Niibler]

I wouldn't be so sure they are bots, probably just "people playing for fun" 

 

[Shirakami_Kon]

Like all the kids without school these days until christmas ends again. But yeah, maybe it's a bot conspiracy.

[Myrmix]

I haven't seen a lot of bot-behavior the last days.

And I already did see some bots, like CVs steaming fullspeed into capcircles without launching planes. I sometimes think some special t9-t10 players are bots, who try to show the broadside to the complete enemy fleet at once.

Can't be sure tho. Maybe I expect too much from people who played up to t9

sure.. 10 hours of "pure fun"

[Bmsrt]

Yesterday was something like that,almost garanteed green-team BB or DD(mostly BB) as gamelong Afk-er,and a DD sailing around the map corner,not in the line,just near it...the action was elswhere ofc.

Today only saw one Afk-er,on the red team(that one "played" a cruiser).

[ColonelPete]

No bots, just our "competent" playerbase...

[fodder89]

Indeed, same thing i noticed today. I don't have in mind players who just play poorly but bots - going from the beginning of the game straight foward and suicide - typical bot behaviour.. i even ask people to report it though, and that was not only one game.

I hope developers will look into that

[IceyJones]

well....the bots report me all the time. as result im chatbanned again ;-)

this time i spammed a hipper and norca singlehanded to death, using terrain to my advantage.

in CBT this was "smart play"

now you are a camper and get reported 5 times ;-)

Reporting working as intended.

Well, you should have learned by now that in order to meet other players expectations, you do not sink them, you allow them to sink you.^^

Seen a lot of DDs, usually without cammo, not logging in until at least the 3rd minute.

 

It's pretty painful on epicentre.

 

Don't know of its a product of the game or the PC.

 

Used to be, if you had shitty fps you could still take a torpedo dd and do OK cause you didn't have to render shells every three or four seconds.

 

Now with the advent of more gun boats, I wonder if this is increasing the realistic minimum specification?

 

Either way, no matter how desperate you are to play, missing (if the 10-15 minute game average is accepted) around 30% of the match isn't really helping your team.

[Shaka_D]

I've noticed a fair few afk players lately, and quite a few more players sitting still, apparently afk, but near the end of game when they are approached by enemy ships suddenly become 'alive' and start moving and shooting.

 

I reported a guy just the night before last in his dd, which stayed inactive all game alongside his division mate in a cv. When the cv was approached by an enemy cruiser and dd late game, the afk dd woke up and followed exactly in the wake of the moving cv firing at the enemy ships and launching torps. It was the strangest behaviour I have seen in a long while and incredibly suspicious.

Even minute is basically too much, maybe except for cruiser.

 

Battleships take minute to get to full speed so they're very fast totally useless for team for five minutes in crucial early match.

And destroyers are needed to start screening other ships and scouting.

Also missing carrier gives enemy advantage in scouting putting destroyers to bigger danger.

What if..... we are the only survivors in this and the rest are bots?

What if we are all bots... except for you?

 

Trust no one.
