What!? My Tarisland dungeon healer is an NPC!? Here's how to tell.

Tarisland is a f2p MMORPG PC port of a mobile game by Tencent that just had its global release. I've been enjoying the gameplay of it so far, but I noticed something peculiar today. My teammates seemed to move like bots, so I decided to observe them a bit, and low and behold! Bots!?
Even using "matchmaking", which is supposed to group you with another set of players as far as I know, seems to fill your party with NPC players instead of waiting for all player characters. I feel like this should be disclosed in the matchmaking UI at least, but how do you feel about it?

I think it should be mentioned at least, but I think it's a proper way to complete the dungeons during leveling phase. There are enough ways to get proper people to play with: It's called socializing. Get friends, get a guild, setup a team yourself manually via teams window etc. How MMOs where played in the past. There are enough ways to play this game as an MMO even during leveling phase. The real endgame does not have NPCs neither has challenge mode (which is the actual real fun here). And to be fair: FF14 rushing through low level dungeons because level 90s do their dailies is a worse experience than playing with NPCs here.

@IkazuJapan 4 месяца назад

Since FF14 characters scale down, I never felt like higher levels doing their dailies affected my dungeon experience much, especially since most people are perfectly fine with waiting for people to watch cutscenes. The WoW experience in leveling dungeon is worse. I know it's not story-driven, but half the time you're just walking through the dungeon not even attacking anything because your tank is running through it killing everything. As long as the bots do their job, I'm actually not minding the more dungeons I do, it's nice to not sit in a 15min que time as well.

It's because you are alreeady behind. Low lvl dungeons doesn't have plenty of people doing that anymore. The bots doesn't do mechanics but they don't take damage of the time from mechanics.

@IkazuJapan 4 месяца назад

I've noticed they do some mechanics but not all. They're super good at interrupts and absorb mechanics like the water orbs in Merfolk Swamp.

i had tank in raid and we realized that tank is bot because we wiped and then repsawn and bot go to fight soon as tank repsawn every time

@IkazuJapan 4 месяца назад

Even the non-tank bots do that, and it's pretty frustrating. The first time I did Library of Chaos on Elite, twice in a row we wiped on the last boss because no one dodged stuff and died and when one of the players spawned they pulled immediately leaving one player dead on subsequent attempts. Sucks it was your tank that did it though

@MW111 4 месяца назад

These bots dont have a military rank either. I think they put them in because after some days you wont find real players who run the first dungeons with you. All real players will be in the endgame already. So i think they did a good job. BUT the player should definetely be informed about it, maybe even with an option if you want to fill up the group with bots.

@IkazuJapan 4 месяца назад

Yeah, that's a fair take! I didn't think about that, especially since there's likely a big rush of people jumping from other mmos to try it out and get through it and to the first kill races asap. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anything, but I just would have liked a little sentence or something that told us it could happen. Nothing to get bent out of shape over though. I was just a bit surprised. The bots seem to do their jobs well-enough, with the exception of pulling stuff without you, or not waiting until everyone respawns before attacking stuff if someone dies.

@@IkazuJapan Yepp, i was very mad at the "players" at first until i realized they were bots. Then i was mad that people are using bots. Then i thought they might be intnially here. Then i was glad to have them since i tried out 7 classes. Then i was mad because one has only 5 character slots. ;)

@ivangenashkov1307 4 месяца назад

you are showing story dungeons, you do get paired with bots there so you can watch the cutcenes without skiping or having 4 ppl wait for you. I never got pared with bots on normal and elite dungeons

@IkazuJapan 4 месяца назад

Both dungeons showed in this video were "normal mode," but nowhere were they marked with story mode. Also, I'm looking back at my footage from that day, and I have Elite Merfolk Swamp with one other player-like name, and the other three are "Cassidy," "Koda," and "Kobe," who I'm pretty sure were all bots.

@massyl25 4 месяца назад

I started yesterday and had bot on every single run until the very last dungeon on elite and on the raids. Even then, there was almost no one doing the sorceress raid.

@Resuu0021 4 месяца назад

it is cool, because if you didn't play in day 1 and consistent to the new content since most players are in the ELITE Dungeons and Raid you're way behind the level and gear score, from your video, you're in story dungeon which you get paired with bots normally since there are fewer players in that content.

@IkazuJapan 4 месяца назад

That's a fair take. I'm 99% sure I wasn't in "story mode" because the only two options I see when queing for dungeons are "normal mode" and "elite mode."

I live in China but play on Europe server which means when I play it’s downtime in Europe. I did three elite runs today and everyone except me was an npc in the group. I know because if I have a good run then I add plays to friends but couldn’t and when the run was finished they just stood looking at each other for ten minutes till I left!1 lol😂

@BlueShadesX 4 месяца назад

Bro is that your first mmorpg? You always get bots in story mode dungeons. i dont believe that you got bots in elite dungeons via matchmaking kekw never happened to me after over 200h

@IkazuJapan 4 месяца назад

I've never had my dungeons filled with bots in WoW or FF14 unless I deliberately chose to do the dungeons with NPCs. Nor in any other MMOs I've played.

@massyl25 4 месяца назад

Kekw kekw only time I didnt get bots was the very last elite dungeon. I speed runned everything yesterday and it was literally like that.

@massyl25 4 месяца назад

Also what you say is so impossible that I'm convinced you are literally either lying or can't recognize a bot. Any elite run under the lvl 38 dungeon are full of bots.
