No. Bad MechWarrior. Very bad... no treat for you.

This is a thread about PGI Test Bots.

Sarlic, care to elaborate?

Yeah its their bots, they have confirmed before when they have escaped into a public match.

I saw that picture and I got a little excited. A.I. Bots in development to massively expand the potential of this game?

*Sigh* I bet that's not the case, but one can dream.

Last time this happen they said it wouldn't happen again haha.

So it's just some sort of server/matchmaker/testing issue that somehow gets out of the cage once in a while? Interesting...

Are you sure that is not just a normal PUG? The scores seem oddly familiar

I like to think that was their warning to expect it to happen again at any time.

Yes those are PGI test bots and they escaped again.
But what I find funny is their ping, shouldnt they be like 0-10 coming from PGI?

Just talked that in mechspecs thread:

One major question I have is "Why do the bots have pings?"

Are they trying to masquerade them as players? Maybe help fill in dwindling queues?

Couldn't it also be... test machines running different specs? I know, don't even need 'machines' but I'm just sayin... 2 birds 1 stone kinda thing for QA maybe... meh w/e.

It's pretty ******* funny isn't it, the timing of Russ's pop tweet and the botting thing that's been happening apparently for a few weeks... xD

Guess they are getting smarter.

Skynet operational.

Bonus note from said match: Apparently, one kill here was the Hunchback headshotting it's target.

A bot with aimbot!

This is it. This can actually explain the clueless robot pilots who struggle to break 50 damage each game. They're actually bots!
