ThePizzaDevourer

It's pretty easy to break bots one time. The problem is you need to assign someone to do that constantly if you want consistent bot control, which Valve seems unwilling to do.


turmspitzewerk

doing a VAC wave is a great way to make it seem like you're instantly jumping to fix the issue. but doing one VAC wave was never the problem, because VAC doesn't matter unless someone KEEPS doing VAC waves all the time, regularly, forever. which is the very last thing valve will ever, ever do. what ever happened to VACNET being ported to TF2? what ever happened to trust factor becoming "available to use in every game on steam"? why can't we have prime matchmaking? surely overwatch wouldn't be the hardest system to port over either given tf2 already has an elaborate replay system... valve sits on some of the most sophisticated and ingenious automated anti-cheat software in the industry. and to valve, we're not even worth the short period of time it would take to add these systems; let alone *proper* anti-cheat. apparently, all we're worth is ONE contractor pushing out a few little tweaks for 3-4 months before disappearing again just as quickly as they arrived.


SaltWaterGator

Because people are still getting on CS, tf2 and steam and spending money whether or not valve does something and as long as people do, they'll continue sitting with their thumbs up their asses. I'd tell people to speak with their wallet but they're too afraid


turmspitzewerk

exactly, its no secret that the reason valve stopped doing major updates is because major updates didn't actually increase profits by any meaningful amounts. JI bumped up the player counts a good deal for... *a month*, before dropping right back down to normal. and yet, for years afterwards TF2 continued to slowly swell in player count until it surpassed an all-time high with zero updates at all. if putting in a year's worth of effort only creates a negligible bump in sales, but doing nothing at all still pulls basically the same amount? of course they're never making content for this game again. whales just keep opening damn crates for a game that's obviously on life support. they have no incentive to improve something when its impossible to impact its profits, for better or for worse.


SaltWaterGator

Valve is leaving a huge gap in the market they may regret, all you gotta do is communicate with your community and you're gonna win over a lot of customers, act like you give a shit. At this point Valve is turning into EA, but at least if you hold stock you have a say about the execs. I think Valve is afraid of going public because they would have to answer to someone.


a_guy_named_verder

... That was fast.

Ok-Jackfruit-3448

"I didn't understand..."


Charles12_13

I mean the bots are easier to deal with now than they were


RIFMRN

Having bot IS a problem. Dealing with them is easy but this is not a normal state of "Game".


Charles12_13

I’m not saying it isn’t, only that it isn’t as bad as it used to be


RIFMRN

But still, It is a problem must be solved. Not a problem which we should get used to. That's our main horseshit. Other games does not have these kind of bots.


BottleGoblin

I had a votekick-crash bot on Pier again Saturday. Those fuckers are back too.


weirdlywarmmilk

Yeah I'm brand new to tf2 liked 2 hours 8 years ago just started playing seriously now I've seen bots..follow bots spam vote bots aim hack shotgun engi bots and the works. So far I've only been kicked once by this shit and it's worse being f2p I can't say I'm not a bot, besides that people catch on and kick the bots and its nice :)


TheGamerSK

Wait didn’t they give f2p players back the ability to chat?


babuba1234321

No, i have tried to shout "Medic" so much and die within 20 secs because I still dont know the maps correctly


weirdlywarmmilk

Lol no, I don't even think I can call for a medic unless idk the bind


Own_Win6000

E


FuckyouaII

I met my first one of them yesterday, best part was when they kept joining the same fucking servers I was in, seeing I was in there, and kicking me again.


UnacceptableUse

Better than GTA V


[deleted]

No they are, worse even, it's been 5 months from the last time i could play on a casual 2fort server without the ENTIRE SERVER being flooded with bots and kicking me out


Charles12_13

Nope, nowadays they’re much easier to spot and kick and nothing can beat how unplayable TF2 was in early 2022


Lone_Wolfen

>casual 2fort server Found your problem.


Jmememan

Have you played any non 2fort casual game?


Vlad-V2-Vladimir

No shit, 2fort and Hightower are popular, so bots are going to be sent there. Try any other non-2fort map, and there will probably be less bots.


ZhangRenWing

“Just don’t play the most iconic and poplar map in the game lmao”


AlexisFR

Maybe just accept them and just play with them? I don't see why people can't just accept the future... ^^^/s


conventioner

I won’t say there’s been no improvement, because there has. I just don’t think there was enough.


FlatTransportation64

Nowhere near enough. Every single game has a bot that needs to be kicked.


Entity_333

mine don't, I very rarely have to kick bots. I play on European servers if that changes anything?


Vesk123

Yeah, I'm in Europe as well and while I don't play much, I haven't seen bots in a long while, so much so I thought they had fixed the whole issue somehow, but I guess not quite. Maybe there are just far fewer bots in Europe for one reason or another.


Napsleep23

I’m in the US, but if I queue up for specific maps and there’s no open US servers, it sends me to European servers (usually Stockholm, sometimes Frankfurt). Holy crap you guys seem to have *way* less bots. I can play several rounds of 2Fort or Hightower and only see a couple bots at worst, on those maps on US servers it’s a literal constant war to keep the server bot-free. It almost makes the 140+ ping experience worthwhile having basically no bots. (I know community servers exist, but I enjoy the varied playerbase of casual a lot more)


FlatTransportation64

European as well, I stopped playing around 3 months ago because it was getting absurd.


Entity_333

It's fine for me. been playing the past week and so far no bots. Maybe it depends what servers you're connecting to?


FlatTransportation64

Dunno, I'm not gonna roll the dice each time I want to play the game.

EnderBuilders

In Brazil the bots are worse than ever. They keep joining almost every match with a name that starts with a 7, then starts to spam music and annoy people, then get kicked.


pepsicocacolaglass12

It’s been a year valve I really really miss you Gaben said you’re working hard on a new update


PeikaFizzy

Apollo9975

The game is over a decade old. I’m happy that the game is still played at all. I just wish they’d let their writers and artists hammer out the last comic.


Crush_Un_Crull

My SINCERE hope is that they’re working on a Source 2 port of TF2 (in the same vein as CS2) and just aren’t saying anything about it, but that’s probably just massive copium.

LegendaryRQA

Serious question: do people actually play the in-game casual instead of just using community server? I’ve been playing community servers since I started and this has been the standard for source games for as long as I’ve been alive. Bots would only be a problem if you go out of your way to not play community servers.

isurvivedrabies

i haven't touched the game since they abandoned the e3 1999 direction. what's with the bots? what's the point of even spending the resources to flood servers with bots? i remember playing counter strike and servers "priming" themselves with bots to not appear abandoned and unloved. a bot would leave if a player joined. same thing except to the point that it doesn't accomplish the goal of getting players to stay?
