Lucid Games has released a comprehensive update for AllStars Destruction announced, which will include the addition of bot players.
The reason is that the number of players fluctuates considerably at certain times, and then not enough players can be found for matchmaking. This suggests a generally small player base, even if only at certain times.
"We want to ensure that games are filled with as many real players as possible, but if X number of players are missing from the queue for a game, AI bots will take the remaining spots. The exception is Blitz, as Blitz, being a competitive mode, will never include bots."
Playlist update
Furthermore, the playlists are being reworked, including global parties that allow you to team up with your friends in all solo and team modes. This has been in testing for a while and is now being rolled out to all players. In general, the playlists should make it easier to find your desired game modes.
Finally, some quality of life improvements will be implemented, which as follows:
slams
- We've heard your feedback with slams, sometimes they just don't feel like you slammed anything.
- We're going back into our slam feature and seeing where we can make changes, improvements and over all tighten this up to make it feel more rewarding and responsive.
Ghost Hits
- Ghost hits are something we're more than aware of and working on reducing and mitigating as much as possible. We're currently looking into further network improvements as well as how to make sure the servers Destruction AllStars is played on are more stable and responsive.
Balancing
- Now out of the game release phase, we want to have more focus on balancing our AllStars to ensure they all bring something to your match.
- This is something we always want to hear from you on what you like, what you think could be improved to what you just don't like at all. We can balance from data all day long but what really matters is what you, the community, thinks.
abilities
- Just like the balancing focus above, we also want to take a new look at how some characters' abilities (on-foot and in vehicle) interact with other AllStars in the game.
- We're not sure yet if these will be small tweaks or completely changing, but it is something that we're investigating and working on.
