For those of you who play co-op, have you seen less bots on your team since the patch?

I played around 15 battles last night, tiers 4 - 8.  All the battles, except one, were 100% players.  Only exception was with one battle in one of my T8's where I was dragged into a tier 9 battle.  That battle had 4 bots on the player teams.

Only reason so many players are playing co-op atm is the easy flag farming....nothing has changed regarding Co-op MM....

so you can earn flags now in CO-OP?

Thought that was not a thing....

All the recent challenges have included co-op, and are giving flags....

And today, kill an RU ship, play an RU ship, equal speed and zulu.... Easy and faster to farm them in co-op.

Just with the weekly special event missions. Not the achievements.

But those types of missions have been going on for over a week now.

For whatever reason, I noticed a change after the new patch dropped.  I have been doing some relaxing in coop after the Mikasa grind, and working on some captain training/re-training.  Early in the week it was minimum 4 bots per team. Yesterday and today almost all humans (maybe one bot sometimes).  I was playing Tier 8 down to Tier 6.

Considering the 30 sec timer hasn't changed, which is the major reason for so many bots in game, just how else did you think you'd see less bots?

Maybe players just noticed, I don't know. But the timer hasn't changed, so more players must be playing co-op....

 

Or maybe the patch taking away the aim assist, players are having to learn how to shoot again....

The timer hasn't changed.  But before the patch, MM would consistently throw players into a match after only a few seconds.  Alot of times it wouldn't even wait 5 seconds.  Since the patch, it seems MM is taking more time before creating a match.

I did play a few last night, and it was mixed, more players than recently though. However Random queues were also way down, which is why I went to CO-OP. That gives me the impression more players were in co-op.

 

Personally, I'd rather have bots on my team in many games, the players playing are actually worse.....

Still end up with teams constisting of 50% bots in tiers where this NEVER happened prior to 5.8.

 

 - Does WG think it's fixed ? in which case should We make yet another thread complaining about this (Officially, and not just a poll).

 - Does WG know it STILL isn't fixed and is already working towards next patch to FINALLY fix it ?  if so I encourage them to drop a word asap on this thread.

 

 

Because as of 29-07-2016||13h45 EST  it's not fixed at all.

Oh it's a bit better than it was, because you are right, the  MM is giving 30sec, but it's simply not enough.  Needs to go back to 90sec like everyone that cares about PvE asked last week.

 

EDIT: oh and your poll will get bad results, too many idiots that don't care about PvE will say it's fixed, you can bet your soul on it.

It's a sad but true fact.
