But yeah; the logic decision loops bots get stuck in sometimes can only make you shake your head. I watched a bot Monarch on (Co-op) Shards get stuck in one of those gaps around C... ...it, FINALLY, managed to work its way out of being stuck, only to immediately start reversing what it had done and get stuck again.

Because all the "smart" bots would do was turn around and run as soon as they were attacked, resulting in co-op games getting needlessly dragged out having to chase bots across the map. At one point they also tested increased bot AI on PTS, but the AI was set so high that you needed a team of really strong co-op mains to have a decent chance of winning (and if I recall correctly that either didn't make it to live at all or was rolled back pretty quickly). Both times the uproar was not about the fact that bots weren't 'easy mode' kills anymore, rather the fact that they weren't "smart" or went from one extreme to the other. Most of the dedicated co-op mains were for an increase in allied and enemy bot AI, but both attempts were sledgehammer changes that resulted in even more problems rather than addressing most the issues co-op mains were pointing out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True but if you played the objectives more like in randoms you could easily get 500 base experience for a not much longer match time without being top of the charts.

Granted this personally a tad on the amusing side. Can imagine it being frustrating for you guys/gals in that round if they are the only 2 bots to survive until the end...

The only logical reason is that WG refused to increase rewards for co-op battles and random battles with bots after filling in the "smart" bots. Let's face it: people would accept more difficult challenges if the rewards are high enough. It's part of human nature really.

Actually they did increase the rewards because playing the objectives would yield a comfortable 500 or so base, instead of the more typical 300, for a match that was only a couple of minutes longer. The people that continued to play to kill were the ones that didn't get more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
