Bot Vote/Discussion Thread

from Demigod Forums

If I knew how to make a poll Id do it :)

For this thread, please vote on this:


1. Should bots be removed from Panth?

My view:

CAN WE GET RID OF THE BOTS PLZ. They are the biggest handicap ever, and any smart team will just chase and kill the bots who have no fear of death... They simply feed the other team gold and xp.... in any mode including slaughter this can devastate a team by allowing the opposite team to get not only early kills, but continue cash inflow bonus'.

Some of you "PROS" will argue and say adapt, but seriously any team not killing bots when they see them are giving up an advantage... plus bots have this thought process to charge into enemy base to chase an opponenet, I geuss its part of the AI programming to chase a target below certain HP into tower fire... but then enemy turns around and with towers can kill bot easily...

How did bots get approved for gameplay? Wasn't their a cry to rid MPlayer of bots?


Bots will make or break a multiplayer game....


At least kill the bot and pass his XP/Gold onto the other 2, this will allow the other 2 to be stronger earlier, but then the xp bonus near end wont be good due to maxing level of 20... Otherwise do something with a bot, because ATM they lick balls...

I even try to fight with bot to keep enemy away, but if you have 3v3 and I go near bot... well its hard to communicate with bot and then 3 guys focus on bot, get a kill and split the extra 300 bonus for each assist.


Anyways please discuss and take a vote.

Yes (I played a 3v3, which was actually a 3ai V 2real ppl & 1ai which is a joke IMO)

I'm going to discuss the pointlessness of having two seperate threads for the same topic.  In this discussion I'll point out that not only does it take up twice as much space in which other more important discussions could take place, but also that it takes time out of people to navigate around thse threads.  The footnotes to follow would state that the game was designed by the developers the way they thought it should be and that any requests to completely change the mechanics of the game are futile.

There I combined them, guess having 2 posts about bots is bad... but when every 4rth thread is about Sedna, then the other ones inbetween are about balance.... I think a bot issue should be raised.


No matter how balanced the game is, as soon as one team is "blessed" with a bot to play for their team it instantly handicaps that team. In slaughter its game over since bots are easy to kill and everything else it makes the game about 50% harder.
