the robots

Post by Neo »

Hey, whoever designs the robots, can you please make them so that they don't ALL shoot at human players whenever one shows up in the room? It's anarchy, not humans versus r0b0tz. thanx. :)

You're talking about SuperSheep's [BOZ]-Bots?

As I recall, they shoot at each other, too...

I noticed they tend to prioritize shooting humans over shooting each other.

Hard to spawn when three or more of them are hanging at a spawn point.

With over 200 ms ping, tons of loss, and over 40 hops to the server when I spawn, I am vulnerable to fire immediately on my end . Also the game kicks me for having rapid fire and calls it a cheat. Again lag caused. Lets hop into any level you want Alphadog and call me a noob again :)

They only do that to wireless noobz

I seem to have a better workout dodging your stupidity than attempting to grasp the weight of your intelligence.

They aren't programmed to go after humans exclusively, but they do seem to love going after them. :)

SS, if an AI player sees two threats, one AI and one human... would I be correct in thinking you included a higher probability it would go after the human? 8)

I don't think it's just a \"higher probability\", I think it's 100%. If they can see you and you're within some particular radius, they focus fire on you.

This is, of course, exploitable -- mortars, smarts, and many other secondaries can kill bots that won't even be concerned with you because they can't see you. You can pop your head into a room to get their attention, get them all flying toward you, back out, and lob craptons of munitions in there and get a bunch of kills.

Of course, spawning within sight of 3-4 bots really sucks. But they can't be camping EVERY spawn point at once...

They focus completely on human players over each other without a doubt.

fix it!

And while you're at it, restore the Fusion Cannon back to the state it was in before it was nerfed ^_~

Unless of course you make it do 200+ points of damage. :)

bubba, fix your sig at .com =P

I always get kicked by anti-cheat whenever I use the Microwave Beam in a Black Pyro with the rapid-fire powerup ^_~

Mommy the bots are picking on me? LULZ but the only other option is not to play those games, but sometimes, they're the only servers with players in them. So I think the best option as far as I'm concerned is for one of you guys to fix it. ^_~

They're not that tough anyway... they can aim, but they can't fly to save their lives. More fun to play against people, I learn that way.
