Yes, if a player fails to setup, AI will do it for him, and then play the battle out.
I am not sure in which conditions this happens, though. We have to wait for an official announcement. |
Surely that wasn't the case when i afked in a battle on 8th of july. Is this a new feature?

It's not applied to all type of combat.
6th of July - Ambushed by player - AI did setup but didn't take immediate control (and I got back in time to actually do some of the fighting):

When I saw the battle again, the Auto -battle button which generally appears at the end of a combat or at the anniversary was crossed(selected) but, there was no message in the log saying that it was controlled by AI. Also ,now I see the option in every battle
I have also used it in these battles:

for Veer_K:
The reason you are seeing the auto battle buttons now is because of this;
In honour of the completion of the Great Contest, the Empire announces three festive days:
From 14 to 16 July inclusive, the "Automatic fight" button will be available in all fights except for CG. |
In regards to the original question; This auto-settle in assisted hunt has been in for a while. Unfortunately I can't find the thread where it is talked about.
AI will only auto-settle and auto-play in Hunt assists and in Clan battles/Facility battles. We have to wait for an official announcement. There is unlikely going to be an official announcement. We already had one regarding the "Internal Changes" update which affected the facility battles; the hunt one is just a simple quality of life fix - since it is not fair to ask for assistance and have the player afk on you. |
simple quality of life fix - since it is not fair to ask for assistance and have the player afk on you.
so isn't afking in any other group pvp/pve.
and what do you mean "quality of life fix"? I am having hard time comprehending your concept of life. |
for virtual_vitrea:
You could make an argument for an autosettlement in PvP - But if AI played for everyone from the beginning, you would have players in CG or PvP just joining and AFKing - Since it would effectively be an auto button. That is more detrimental than forcing players to settle and play.
When I say Quality of Life - I mean it is so natural to have it in the hunt assistant battles, that it should have been there in the first place. You ask for hunt assistance, you expect to get assistance. There is no assistance when a player AFKs out, so it is natural that AI should settle and play. Otherwise it defeats the whole purpose of the assistance ;) |
