You can see how many bots there are when servers go down, because they are bots they keep trying to play the game. There is 17,000ish bots concurrent bots, compared to the 450k concurrent players that leave soon as maint starts.
Nope.
That one million ban wave? It either didn’t happen or the bots don’t get picked up by steam.
If it didn’t happen - lol.
If the bots don’t get picked up by steam - the ones you see when servers are down are not the bots.
If this is true. Wouldn’t it just prove that they have no interested and don’t try to remove bots.
1 They don’t care.
2. They would lost a lot of “players”
I was late to the game. I just finished leveling from 0-50 and all I saw running around were Berserkers and Sorcs. At first I was like damn that’s a popular class then I noticed the names and the way they all move the same and teleport. I realized its all bots!
My entire leveling experience was pretty horrible, felt like I was playing a MMO with nothing but bots. I could tell it was a real player when they rode around on a mount, but I barely saw any at all. I am determined to finish the story as I hear end game is fun but right now I feel like this game has been nothing but me and BOTS.
So when do I actually start to see real people and get to interact with real people? I am in Shushire now and still do not feel like I am playing an MMO.
There is no one in shushire bc there is nothing there besides the story line.
Continets where people "stay· are North Vern, Rohendel, Yorn, Feiton and Punika
Most people mains now are either in Punika or in Feiton so that’s where more people will be
For cooperative content the raids and guardians with the most people will also be Feiton’s and Punika’s, but there is people enough to do any at any time really, just more group for those continents content
As for leveling, dont expect too see many people leveling, most people already did that and if you want to level another characeter most people would go for knowledge transfer (paying gold for skipping the continent)
Bots also become less frecuent the more you advance, there are very few if any in Punika, but there is a somewhat long road for you until then
Yeah some of the lvling areas are just completely unplayable on Zosma. I lvled a mage first didn’t really care for it so rolled a gunslinger and fell in love but I can’t even progress. Been reporting the same exact bots adding photo and vid even on twitter because surprise surprise there is a limit of bots you can report
Can’t even try to find a server that’s not over run with bots (if there is such a thing) because I would lose everything I paid for. Unless there is a character transfer that lets you take all your purchases I don’t know about? I’m guessing Zosma is so bad because it was one of the few that wasn’t completely full and locked ?
If they only pay a few guys at AGS office and they go to first or second continent, in a mandatory quest, and ban manually every bot they see, bots will disappear, at least the majority.
If you stand in one of those places you can see bot after bot after bot. rather than report, they can do insta ban manualy. But they dont care I assume. Its profit for them.
You would need a person for every channel on every single server also all the false bans would be a nightmare, imagine playing the game and just getting banned randomly just because someone thought you were a bot.
Welcome to Lost Ark, where months into the game and the roach “bot” infestation is just as bad because they refuse to offer real hard solutions. Of course a F2P game will have bots if there is no hard 2FA security. Just implement cell phone or captcha every login/3 hours, anything please!
as of a week or two ago – the queue on my server popped up at login – its faster then new world was but can still take several hours – I have better things to do then wait to play a game that is mostly bots.
Hire a group for people to run as Bot hunters- with the ability to insta ban, obvious groups of bots.
It is not hard to tell they run in lines and do the something – oh and glitch out all the time.
and now a lot of we are struggling on 5k queue cuz of this, only ags or maybe smilegate that after update the state of bot are not getting better instead of getting worst. @OminousOnion
lets see next maintanace, @Roxx say there will be action againt’s the bot can’t wait to see if it getting worst or not… and also hopefully the queue will gone cuz everybody so annoying for queueing even while not at peak time still got 5k @OminousOnion
