Replace a disconnecting survivor with a bot stand in that has simple functions, so killers dont have to lose all their points.

    This is a first for me, someone asking for bots in a game.

    It's a healthy solution for people who disconnect, therefore BHVR wont have to ban everyone who leaves a game prematurely. Considering the potential and incredibly bad state that survivor gameplay can be, you dont really want to punish people for just trying to move on with the game and have a good time in the next one.

    BOT A.I


    If the A.I sees a potential pallet spawning location, it will run to that area and begin to loop the killer until they are a specific distance to them.

    Once the pallet is dropped, they will either stay there if the loop is safe, or leave if it's unsafe.

    They will try to 360 you once you get in melee range, or will use DH then resort to 360s.

    I believe the devs are making where survivors who dc leaves a husk for the killer to hook. And the remaining survivors will receive quitter points.

    Can we program the bots to tap gens all the time? even without ruin? That would be greeeaat. ::Sips coffee mug like Bill Lumbergh::

    Since this game has a life limit(meaning that, unlike most competitive games, the bot won't just feed the enemy team) and a D/C hurts everyone point wise I can see that being okay. Personally though I'd just prefer The survivors collected points plus a set amount of points be evenly distributed among all remaining players. Meaning disconnection benefits the people you were trying to spite.

    Would be good if the bot just went on a gen and tried to hide from the killer if it heard the TR.

    What happens when all DC?

    Does it end or is it now PvE?

    If they get disconnect then they get perma banned.

    Problem solved.

    They're already planning on doing that. DC'ing survivors will leave a husk which the killer can hook.

    This is what were trying to avoid here.

    This is as simple as I expected it to be if it does exists.

    I'm guessing they're doing this when dedicated servers are coming? (Trollface)
