when will the bots be removed from ONLINE play???

True.

Support.  nuf said.

i played pantheon with no bots today it might of been a fluke but it was a 3v3 i was like OMGWTFBBQ

I am still unsure if I've played a match with a human being.

So many of my Pantheon games are me alone with crappy bots against 2 or more humans.  It's impossible to win when they keep killing the idiot bots for money.  The Pantheon system doesn't allow even teams at all when people leave.

Playing with Bots when I chose to play with humans just ends up feeling "pointless"

Press tab to bring up the scores, look at the pings. 0 Ping = Bot.

Here is what happened to me yesterday -

3vs3, my two so-called teammates both quit within the first 90 seconds of the match.  This left me (Unclean Beast) against not one, not two, but THREE human players all on Regulus.  It was a friggin snipe fest.

I would rather have played alone against three.

Frogboy already posted they're changing it so that new players will still be able to have bots, but after a few games the system will only match with players.

I think it was in Saturday's journal thing, or somewhere around there..

Yeah bots shouldn't be in there..

I'd like it if they had some sort of drop-tracking, to match non-droppers with non-droppers. Force you to keep up a good reputation for finishing your games.

Damned if they do damned if they dont.  Watch, next they remove bots and everyone bitches that it takes too long to get a pantheon/skirmish game going.  Poor stardock... I feel like they cant win.  Yeah it sucks that there are mostly bots in the matchs but did anyone think its because it cant match people up hence the network issues lately and then it decides to start the game for fear of taking too long?  No didnt think so.

I think they did a temporary fix. I did a 1pcv1pc and the rest where players vs ai. Its better than it was before where it was doing 2v1 and 1v1 and it came down to who farmed ai the fastests.

Never mind I got a game where it was 3 players vs me and ai..... what the hell am i suppose to do with that.

Well last night I got a game where it was 2 players vs 3 players. It didn't even bother to give us an AI partner.

...end game

I've already had a few Pantheon games start as 3v2 and no bots. Usually the 2 underdogs quit and I can tell you it really sucks being 2 players versus 3 because you are at a definate disadvantage.
