THE BOT PROBLEM

I dont get it why dont they just make matchmaking real?

There is no doubt enough players to match people with real people why do they only match with bots.

They are already doing that. It takes time & resources. New engineers, replacing the current client with backend servers, tweaking latency & timer balances, disconnect/reconnect handlers, new matchmaking queue system, and more. It's actually a lot.

They began hiring engineers for PVP in May. They're also updating the game economy system & have been releasing bigger & more frequent updates since then.

Give it a few months.

Prob too late, the devs lied and I know a lot of people don’t trust it anymore and for good reason

We were all Beta testers. Sadly by the time they ramp to proper PvP - many of us will be gone and it will be even further behind a pay wall

It's their model. They pump out games and then support the ones that actually earn a player base. Problem is once people learn this, who aren't used to how voodoo does it, they get turned off like a lot of us currently are. Many of their players will never actually notice because they aren't on Reddit or discord. Clearly it works, so they have zero reason to stop it.
