Only Bots appear in arena

[languid crow]

Many are reporting only facing bot accounts in arena.
This leads to a massive shift in balance in arena, as many bad accounts are now just farming bots all the way to 3.5k points.

Anyone who encountered this issue please send screenshots/video proof here so the team can look into it

[granite tundra]

Hey Sethyy takes offense to that 😄

[languid crow]

I face him everytime I want an easy +5, but dont tell him 🤫

[granite tundra]

I still cannot force one of them as an opponent. I win a game and cycle 20 times and win again then cycle and then wait and then cycle, still none 😢

[languid crow]

Lol, thats bad 😂

And there's people out there just getting em all the time 😂

[languid crow]

@raven widget what about this?
Many people with unfused items/chars and like 30 mythics are now reaching top arena due to this glitch and fighting ONLY bot accounts

[wispy heart]

Me neither, but I got to farm the people who farmed bots cuz their decks were cheeks

[languid crow]

Plus, some are setting one shot decks, just to make it even worse

[wispy heart]

not my video

“I cannot even find actual players anymore, only bots. I can fight 3 and then my game crashes, but it still only shows bots”

[languid crow]

This is bad bad

[granite tundra]

I mostly get stuck with the same pool with the occasional one, I find a wheel deck but the rest around me are all pretty strong but it’s so painful to play manually im not stressed just find it hilariously dumb and lazy to have this in place for so long

That’s what my poll of opponents usually looks like after I beat the deck with wheel in it

[wispy heart]

Yeah, i climbed yesterday and there were still a couple athletic decks, was able to farm them until I hit the bot farmers and now i farm them. Nobody else is remotely beatable

[left forge]

Why post a picture of me and say I’m setting one shot decks?

I’m simply playing the game

I didn’t even know setting a deck was a thing until like 3 weeks ago why would I be setting up a one shot deck?

It took two full days constantly glued to my phone to achieve something I never could before and real people were fought too

[granite shard]

The way it was put definitely makes you look like you were doing one shot, i believe of the new climbers only odin set one shot

[left forge]

I would hope so

This is to show that it’s not only just bots

[left forge]

If this is the case osc I’m sorry for reacting the way I did I really try to be a fair player all the time

[winter sun]

Ummmmmm what have I been saying forever?

@granite tundra is cheating 🤣

[winter sun]

What in the world bud? I just climbed from 2600 to 3000 in arena and never saw a garbage account. It looks like they're trying to fix the garbage behind the scenes.

[winter sun]

It was fun seeing iphyzed again

[languid crow]

Yeah I wasn't saying you had a one shot, it's my bad tho cause it does seem that way due to discord formatting

[winter sun]

Dude I'm sure you can set a 1 shot right @plush bear?

Can we link your complaint with mine that's been going on for a year? @languid crow

[languid crow]

At this point sure 😂

[winter sun]

So you're agreeing that you climb on BS accounts 😉

[languid crow]

No, I climb on real accounts, this bots climbing makes 0 sense 💀

I think they just messed up trying to fix what you reported a year ago 😂

[winter sun]

I'm still blaming you and @granite tundra that never gets them

@languid crow I went from 2600 to 3000 in arena. Are you only seeing garbage accounts at 3500 because I never saw a single one on my climb?

[languid crow]

I dont see garbage accounts at 3.5k.
These people who climbed in these couple days, on the other hand, face ONLY garbage accounts

[winter sun]

Need some proof bud. If I wasn't an ahole I might call your deck garbage 🤣

[languid crow]

100+ Mythics and been at 3.5 for more than a year now 😋😍
More than a Pelican lover I know😝

[winter sun]

I'm going with decent decks man

[languid crow]

Dual items?

They obviously look decent at 3k due to arena buffs

[winter sun]

They need more Pelican but that's my complaint

Let's see the easy decks man

[languid crow]

U just sent them

Dual items, and skills are awful (but look good due to arena buffs)

[winter sun]

With you playing against them?

[languid crow]

If I played against them buffs would be even higher cause I'm higher up in arena 😂

[winter sun]

God your complaint is worse than mine. Atleast Dodgy will mess with me with a joke of an answer

[languid crow]

I aint no fun 💀

[winter sun]

Nah your good man

[winter sun]

Can we close this complaint Karen?

[languid crow]

Nope, we keep It open and I'm gonna ask for Dodgy's manager soon if he doesnt reply 😂

[winter sun]

🤣 🤣 🤣

Karen / @languid crow Please get him to actually respond to my request

[left forge]

Found the biggest bot of em all 😂😂

[granite tundra]

It’s settled, I always suspected but now I know when I get opponents in AT it’s not random someone is on the other end manually selecting opponents every time I hit the yellow circle or play melee 😆

It’s all payback for using the inventory expander glitch #cheater 😂

[digital oasis]

Took you long enough to notice.

[languid crow]

I sent u a dm 😂

[granite tundra]

I can’t wait until next year when I finally notice the free pack island

[digital oasis]

And then probably another year after that to notice your packs all have 3 commons.

[granite tundra]

Now you’re just pulling my leg

[young spindle]

This u?

[left forge]

Yes

That deck is not supposed to be there tho I accidentally went into arena after altering some defenses

I appologize

Right after I say I’m not setting one shots ugh it is back to bge deck… thank you for calling me out

@young spindle

[young spindle]

Sounds good, not that i can beat a bge deck that high either lol

[left forge]

True but when it comes to melees it’s truly unfair and I don’t want to be associated with the negativity surrounding one shots especially out of bge I got killed few times by dog Lois I wasn’t mad maybe I was a little

[languid crow]

Hi @raven widget saw ur back, assuming this is being looked at and will be fixed within the next update?

[raven widget]

I make no promises, but I think this week's update should make a significant improvement.

[languid crow]

Thanks! Also, can we have some news on what was changed? Pretty sure u guys messed around with bots and are changing that, is this a correct assumption?

[raven widget]

I'm hesitant to confirm the exact changes.

I did get confirmation, though, we have not seeded the Arena with bots. Assumption incorrect!

[languid crow]

Well, i know u didn't, but bots were there before, while now it changed, so something definitely changed there.

Anyway, I guess we'll just have to wait and see 😄

[plush bear]

Osc has TONS of information on this subject that can help you once this is at the top of to do list

[languid crow]

Yeah, on a real.

@raven widget if the team need anything, just dm me or write here and @ me.

We can literally tell u how the game works (especially in high arena) probably better that the devs could ever do lol 😄

(not in a bad way, but playing it every day for more than a year u do understand many things)

[left forge]

When does it go out arena is still currently like this still making it unplayable or rather unenjoyable

[wispy heart]

arena has been in the exact same state for a long time, only difference is now theres more bots for some people to climb up (AFAIK).
Assuming youve never been to 3500 before, there is nothing to do, you either sit there and dont touch arena until reset, or drop back down to where you can play again.

Im surprised spamming refresh until you get bots and then beating bots for like 2000 straight trophies is really engaging though, lol. I wouldnt know, I never find bots at all anymore.

[topaz spear]

Well I used to just give up after 2500 and noticed only a handful of people ever make 3500. It took time but I made 3000. The most unfair thing about this issue is it doesn’t help everyone. To give my opinion having 3000 unreachable for most of the f2p and sometimes spenders seemed unbalanced. But it was ridiculous when I hit 3000 I saw a level 1 archer hero. But for all the glitches that hurt me I’ll welcome one that help. I have since fallen lower but I got the 3000 prize once. I’ll take it.

Since it helped me they’ll probably fix it tomorrow

[wispy heart]

Might be a hot take, but top arena shouldn’t be possible for everyone to reach.
I can’t believe i’m saying this, but the f2p decks are too easy to beat in clash/melee. It’s making that mode even more RNG than ever, you get one of the people that farmed bots and you get a free win, if you get one of the people that are actually meant to be there, much higher chance you lose.

I could also just be jealous, since I have not seen a bot since people started being able to only find bots.

[languid crow]

100% agree, top arena shouldnt be for everyone, as 3k shouldnt and 2.5k should be hard to reach

[wispy heart]

2250 is the max clash level, which means you don’t have to get 3k+ unless you want to, and being as it’s technically “endgame content” it should be the higher spending players

[languid crow]

Yes I definitely agree, bots or bad accounts shouldnt be getting even close to 3k.
Thankfully it's gonna get fixed soon I believe

[wispy heart]

The bots don’t show up in clash/melee though, so that’s not as bad.

[languid crow]

Haha imagine if that happened 😂
But, we still face bad accounts that are at 3k, and it makes these events even more rng as you said

[left forge]

I don’t know if I got a bot this morning but the deck was off bge and guildless in Linda melee

[wispy heart]

You can’t get bots in clash/melee

[left forge]

I almost hit 3000 in toy to be honest I was at 2900 but the bot stuff is getting out of control even if it did help me and others it’s still affecting everything negatively even player base

[left forge]

Ok so just inactive player makes sense

[wispy heart]

one of my accounts is at ~2900 and is guildless and had an off-bge deck for a while, but i changed it back to animal a bit ago. Could be something like that

[left forge]

Yeah makes complete sense thanks for the explanation

[heavy flower]

whats the deal with the one shot?

[topaz spear]

I’ve heard conflicting things do you have to win with your deck for it to be set. Or can you set it after a win

[granite shard]

The last deck you won an arena match in will be the deck set

[left forge]

I use Kahn and Barry for swole sometimes I forget and go into arena and it could make a one shot.. I didn’t even know you could set a deck till few weeks ago some people don’t know at all

I’m going to assume this is their situation as well and I’m sure they will feel the same as I did and make sure a friendly but deadly deck is set

[topaz spear]

Thank you it should not be one shot now

[languid crow]

No, it's cm5 wheel thats even worse 💀

This is what happens when Kong messes up arena 😂

[topaz spear]

I switched it again should be athletic

[topaz spear]

For the record this was the first time I saw any bots and I had heard about them for awhile

[languid crow]

Weird that u and CheechN are two of the few getting em and from the same guild

[left forge]

How is it weird?

[languid crow]

Haha no my bad I thought it was ur name lol

[left forge]

Lmao my bad

That would’ve been a good ass pun

[languid crow]

Ok fixed it

Yeah it would have been lolol

[left forge]

I have no idea why me and canucme gets the bots

No one else in our guild has them as far as I know they are quite jealous to say the least but zestyzack has told me he has bots on one account and he knows others that have them too.

I don’t think there’s a connection to our guild at all

[languid crow]

Oh no I dont think thats the case, im just wondering if you (or a guildmate) understood what triggers this issue and potentially told others.
If thats the case, I believe telling Dodgy or support could help out a lot

[left forge]

I saw this thread honestly and figured I would try to fight bots and climb not even gunna lie lol

Upon success I told my guild to “farm” as well cause it’s what we all do we farm for an easier opponent but not everybody has the same luck and as for me only had luck on CheechN on chongBruh not a single bot all players have 100 mythics except for a few lol.

And as for the setting of cm5 wheel it was for stones and therefore accessible to everyone and should not be criticized for using in arena imho not like coming out with a cm5 Kahn’s pills or self destruct Barry or MAW or PA

@raven widget just in case this info helps as well

I agree I don’t belong at top of arena I am a 2500-3000 player tops

[languid crow]

Totally fair, wasn't throwing any shade was just a genuine question, although I do believe u were one of the first and climbed before I made this thread lolol

I dont agree on the wheel/kahn/barry part, as all are Clash defence decks based on the melee character, and doesnt make a difference if it was available for stones or not.
Surely, one shots are more annoying, but for some melee's wheel can be more annoying (or motivate decks too)

[left forge]

Maybe it was brick frogs I saw first

[left forge]

Can understand that

Yup just looked brick frogs thread was up longer my bad man

I first noticed in on the 4th I went back through the thread

[topaz spear]

Hmm this is just a guess. The only other never-before thing that happened to me is I fought myself. I have never been matched up to myself. But that might have happened after the bots. Anyone in here did you fight yourself and then get boys? Or did you fight yourself and not get bots. One theory

[left forge]

I don’t fight myself it’s an insta loss no thanks

The only time I’ve found “you see yourself” and it says Player it won’t show your real name is after you’ve faced a few bots

[wispy heart]

You’ve been able to fight urself high up for a while, it’s sort of like how the bots are. After you refresh for a while you’ll eventually find yourself

[topaz spear]

Ok

I learn thank you

[plush bear]

@raven widget any update yet?

[granite shard]

Someone cant place without coordinating safe decks huh💀

[plush bear]

T50 is fine for me 🤡

[winter sun]

Why is getting +1 a thing? I should of had 3500 the match before but you're made to fight a losing battle

[granite shard]

Were you at 3499?

[winter sun]

Yeah but I was at 3486 the match before beat Sliqt for 13 points. Any other time I beat anyone above me it was a +19 win since there wasn't any bots.

[languid crow]

So u got to 3499 and then couldnt get more than +1 cause it's capped at 3.5k

[languid crow]

+19 is crazy, I only get +12/+13 😭

[winter sun]

If I was at 3487 it would of given me +12 still needing to win again. I'm just saying there was no need for the last fight

[winter sun]

It's wild when you don't face bots 😘

[languid crow]

Prove it! 😂

[languid crow]

It is, some would never know about it 😂

[winter sun]

Maybe if they fix it actually and we have a few more BGE cycles

🤣 🤣
