I have been getting no reward with playing alone vs AI which is all i can do since i dont have time to wait for players, is it something that is only happening to me or got more people involved? are you addressing the issue? if so how long is it gonna take? also just a suggestion you should let all the games against AI start with just one player and let the rest join as they come, would get a lot of people less pissed off with the waiting

Why do some of you keep saying this when:
- Duels vs AI on console GIVES rewards AND count towards duel orders
- There used to be AI only orders for duels
- When the order system was changed from specific AI and PVP orders, it was stated that all orders should be possible to complete whether people prefer to fight against AI OR other players.
This has been a problem for a long time on PC, I get it, but it has worked on console SINCE LAUNCH. so really? It's not intended to work?
We have custom matches for testing purpouses. We don't need dueling vs AI for testing, it is already available in the custom matches roster, where it is absolutely fair that they give no reward. Dueling vs AI CAN be a challenge for a lot of people. a lot of people ARE playing your game vs AI and have no interest in PVP. Others prefer PVP, some of us like a bit of both. Your game is fresh, new and appeal to both PvP and PvE players, both demographics of whom are happy to play this game in their own preferred way.
These here-and-there posts that duels vs AI aren't supposed to work from Ubi support staff on threads pertaining to the vs AI issue, is making people who are waiting for a fix on this overarching problem which is affecing all game modes vs AI except brawl, worry. It derails threads where we are trying to inform our fellow players about the issue and assure them that Ubi is aware and trying to fix it.
We are waiting for a fix on what is clearly a serious bug that the developers ARE trying to fix as they have stated here, and here
if duels vs AI are not supposed to work, it would be GREAT if Ubisoft Montreal could make sure that a) We got a proper notification about this rather than a "server not responding" error message which would indicate, to most people, that something's NOT working, and if you really don't want us to get rewards when dueling AI but you want orders to be completable both for PVP only customers and PVE only customers, you would need to remove duel orders from the order roster.
I've worked in support for years. I know it's not easy. The last 9 days I've done nothing but trying to provide information and remind people to have patience with the developers AND support staff as bugs take time to fix and a lot of misinformation has been spread.
But when Ubi staffers are giving ambiguous information on a subject, and support staffers seem to not read questions through all the way before answering (We were asked to send information about this bug via tickets by Ubi staffers more than once, I sent a ticket with information, I got a reply that you can't accept player suggestions for the game content??? I didn't give any suggestions, I wrote a bug report! and the original poster in this thread was clearly, as they wrote "also just a suggestion you should let all the games against AI start with just one player and let the rest join as they come" talking about other modes than 1v1. ) it's wearing me down! I don't know how to communicate better with you guys, I've tried, we all have.
Ubinoty, FredEx, somebody, could we please have a developer comment on what is bugged and what is working as intended, and could we please have some semblance of fairness and consistency across the different platforms so we on PS4 don't think something that IS working for us will be taken away from us OR PC players think something that's intended, is a bug?
Because at the end of the day, I'm pretty sure we all are OK with waiting for a fix, but we don't want to worry about what that fix will look like when it gets here!

This week I'm got to play a number of dozens of matches with myself Domination game with the AI, because as soon as the start of the match server has eliminated all other players. I own an open NAT (xbox).
I also wanted PvP v AI matches to start alone, as it often goes a long way to wait and then eventually the server eliminates them. So the result is the same. Also in PvP PvP player could start with a smaller amount.

I agree with Arctic Pixie the situation with Vs AI Duels is very confusing.
Just to be clear we are on about the same mode here? When people talk about Duel Vs AI not giving rewards they are on about the mode you find under multiplayer in the Faction War called Duel. I'm sure it was stated before release that all Faction War modes give rewards regardless of being PvE or PvP.
We are not on about the practice duel mode you find under 'How to Play' in the menu where you select a bot difficulty and can practice which does not give rewards and I dont think anyone is expecting it to. I think some of the Ubi support guys think we might be talking about that mode rather than the one in faction war.

If Ubi's afraid people will farm duels for loads of exp and steel, just make the rewards small enough to avoid exploiting. Claiming that the server is being slow and the rewards will be added later is even more misleading than having it work on some platforms but not others.
What's really odd to me is that if it was intended that Duel vs. AI doesn't give rewards it flies in the face of allowing all orders to be completed vs AI. It's almost as though some developer at Ubi didn't like the decision to allow orders to be completed vs AI and they're trying to hold on to this one little thing on principle. It's better for the game if players can be rewarded for playing vs AI in all cases. It gives you better steamcharts numbers.
I wish this game wasn't so crappy (server issues, "policy" issues) because it's really pretty great (core gameplay, graphics, atmosphere).

When reading this i worry that some people (developers or otherwise doesnt really matter) do think that way, to all those that do; a duel against a stranger is NOT the way to get someone to dip their toe into PVP on principle. If you are timid and dont quite dare, a mode that hinges 100% on your performance and the others (in this case one stranger, but still) will notice every flaw and oopsie you do, is not going to be your first choice. Imagine starting out like that? No, a mode like dominion where you might disappear in the crowd a little and do sonething for your team without having the most takedowns, relax a bit more and not necessarily have to be at your absolute best is a more likely first plunge into competitive gaming. BUT! Don't make dominion pvp only either! Like eitri said, it is healthiest for the game if everything can be done vs AI as well. Some regions dont have a choice due to matchmaking taking too long, and some people just arent competitive at all! Nothing wrong with that.Originally Posted by Eitri17 Go to original post
I for one am glad Ubisoft (the way i percieve it) are trying to cater to everyone. We are all essential to the future of this game, we are all equally likely to buy season passes and steel, and i wouldnt be entirely surprised if the PvAI crowds spent more on cosmetics as sticking to the meta and getting one toon up and gear is a lot less essential vs AI.
