I am probably the least educated on the subject; but I am still gonna make this comment as if I was an expert.
When PC access was announced some people got excited, I was not. Putting this game in a new platform made me worried of more and worse bugs.

Countless war deaths, broken devices (I’m sure for some people at least) losses in BG’s, unnecessary deaths in raids- when will it stop Kabam?
Whenever no one plays your game anymore?
I’m done sugarcoating it, this is THE reason for all of my frustration with your game. A game that I want to love playing again.
At this point, just scrap whatever code you have for your AI- and get someone to start from scratch.
This is just ridiculous.

Funny how the AI makes the game unplayable for you, but then we have a good player stream a BG run, and he can dex, block, intercept, etc. Are there moments here and there where some close interaction may have resulted in a glitch or a close call? Sure.
But reading threads like the OP's would make people believe the game is broken.
And yet, how is it not broken for this person??

The game is still broken for that person too, you just probably happened to catch the moments that it wasn’t.
I can just about guarantee you, that any high level BG’s player- has gotten extremely frustrated at least a few times a day; due to how the AI plays.
Wanna know how I know? I’m in a discord server with pretty much every single one of them, and about 90% of the players from C1-C4.
They stream daily, and we all take turns playing.
No one is 100% enjoying this game anymore, let alone the game-mode.
While AI obviously isn’t the only issue with the mode, it’s definitely the main “drive it home” factor for most.

I'm not a fan of some of those for a particular reason. Just raging and screaming to get views.

Give us an example if it's that common. Just claiming it won't help anyone prove it.
When there are legit concerns. We all stand behind it. You guys at the top can prove it if you work together. That will help everyone.
But nah, we gonna rage and throw screaming content for revenue.

And I belive you would understand when I say too many people do not understand what AI issues actually are. Most of them just claim ai issues with nothing to back their claim with. As a normal player I too have my AI rage moments, but most of them are not considered AI issues.

The only thing I myself feel annoyed time to time is the recovery speed issue with some heavy or specials. And that's not AI, it's a bug.
Damn effin Loooooong standing bug that has been overlooked by kabam. DLL had no answer for it either.

Have someone in your group record all these issues we are talking about. Make it public, shame the money hungry ceo with a proof. Point the community towards it. You guys have direct contact with the kabam employees.
Make 1 detailed video or post and let's see how it doesn't get attention from the devs.

It's a vent fest. People like OP and the others just piling on never actually show any video of what they're talking about. It's all just mumbo jumbo like "everything is broken" and "I'm a great player and guarantee you" etc. etc.
When I show a video, they just dismiss it without even watching it.
They don't actually want to have an honest evidence-based discussion about the topic.
They just want to complain to make themselves feel better about their failures in the game.
So really, when it's disgruntled bad faith lazy emotional venting, all we can say in response is:

It's righteous "vent fest". People like OP, myself and others, including content creators and those in high ranking alliances, who are just "piling on" has actually shown video of the issues we're talking about before. It's all FACTS.

When you show a video, we dismiss it because of your approach and intent. Your mind is made up that we must be making these issues up because they aren't happening to this particular player.

You don't actually want to have an evidence-based discussion about the topic, or our experiences. You just want to complain and use rebuttal to make yourself feel better about your failures everywhere.

So really, when it's disgruntled bad faith lazy, emotional rebuttal (like yours), all I can say is....

You've been waiting your entire life for this moment.

Terminatrix, the AI issues you bring up are so specific and so widely accepted (like the Heimdall freeze), that in your scenario you don't even have to bring video evidence. No one discredits that, me included.

But read the OP's top post again. What is he even talking about? Just sounds like a tantrum....
And then when there is pushback, like my video showing that, wow, you can still play normally despite the glitches here and there, I'm labeled the unreasonable one?
Ok, well maybe you have a point to a certain extent. I can certainly consider that there is some kind of middle ground I'm missing, or even something beyond the specific topic itself that nevertheless informs people's perceptions and feelings. I'm certainly open to listening and thinking about it. But let's call a spade a spade. The OP's entire modus operandi is bluster and bad faith. That's what I'm reacting to, not reasonable players like yourself.

The OP's post is full of understandable frustration and impatience with Kabam. We all share a common experience with the game---a game that we still want to love, enjoy, and be passionate about, and can relate to what they're going through. Some areas of the game are extremely competitive by design. Rankings and rewards can be impacted by unavoidable losses due to the neverending issues.

All of this is exacerbated by the extra unecessary resources spent in some content just to get through it, and slow or complete lack of response and acknowledgement from Kabam. Some have recently responded (thankfully), but will they update us on their plan of action, or stay quiet for months like they've done prior to this?

The quality of this game and overall player satisfaction is not where it should be. It's exhausting. If we stop bringing these problems up, we have 0 chance of anything improving, and therefore might as well stop playing and contributing to it's growth and profits.

Right, nothing objectionable in what you say there, but so do you think people should just keep making generalized "kabam your game is glitchy and terrible" threads where every random person just adds their own random complaint (some valid, some just obvious skill failures)? You think that's valuable and productive?
Ok...

As productive as questioning those people making the complaint and deciding if they are right or its a skill issue as if you were an expert. And this is comming from me, a guy who loves trolling.

I am probably the least educated on the subject; but I am still gonna make this comment as if I was an expert.

It's definitely not skill issue for some of the ai behaviours.
When players like fintech and dev DLL talks about some of this stuff, they actually know what they are talking about.
The AI is always changing, thats a fact.
But AI issues is a different thing.
There is a lot of rng going behind the ai behaviour.

There are also a lot of ai profiles active in the game, the map8 is a lot different than a agressive BG ai or smart War ai or the painful turtling story quest ai or the dumb ai in many easy modes.

There is actual issue with AI, the dash back distance for different size champs, that's infuriating too.
Can we call it an ai issues? Or is it a bug?
Is it working correctly for today's standards?

I want to know what kind of the issues actually are. With some examples. AI issues this, AI issues that, take us nowhere.
So many youtubers just blame AI, and that makes more players blame ai for every single issue.

I will trust Fintech with eyes closed if he points out an issue. Not because I'm a fanboy, because he actually explains if somthing happen which is not supposed to happen.

We absolutely cannot generalize any weird AI behavior as an issue. From what I have observed over the years, AI changes a little bit every update. Idk if they are doing it manually or the game learns by itself (Small minor changes but regularly)

I bet Steph Curry would stay silent if he was shooting 3s at a glitchy rim. I mean unless its recorded all issues are imaginary based on some people's thoughts. Cause that's the first thing I say when I am about to do my 4 BG objectives. The first thought is "Lets start recording my gameplay in case something happens"
Welcome to Marvel Contest of Recording Champions.

I absolutely am not disputing what many players post in forums about the issues regularly. I dont comment on those posts as it will always be a case of he said she said.

But OP is claiming to be part of 24x7 streamer gang. And we need to see some proof.

Oh I am not talking about you buddy. Is OP exaggerated? Probably; but there is this ridiculous idea that you need to show everything for it to be true too. There is no enjoyment in recording everything for bug hunting which is what some people want.
There was enough proof of the AI being weird af on the Heimdall encountern in AoA.

Completely separate from the issue of whether to believe an anecdote or not, there's the issue of what specifically the issue is. If someone says that they were trying to enter a side quest and it wouldn't let them, you can believe them or not but everyone knows what they mean. But if someone says the AI in a fight is "defensive" or a champion "recovers quickly" or things like that, nobody actually knows what those things mean specifically. It could be they are seeing something everyone else can reproduce, or it could be they are seeing something completely different. It could be that what they are seeing is an actual problem, or it could be what they think is wrong is just how it has always been. In those cases, video evidence is not just about credibility, but about precision of the problem report.

The most common recommendation I give to clients when they report problems to me is: you got a phone, take a picture. There is nothing less useful than to tell me "I got a funny message pop up on my screen, something about something." The picture doesn't just tell me that it happened, it tells me unambiguously what specifically happened. And the specifics are everything.

We all agree the AI gets weird and annoying sometimes. But "AI is weird and annoying" is not an actionable problem report. And we probably don't all agree on in what specific ways it is weird and annoying.

Well we could go to the source of the issue, which is the company doing minimal or no test on their product and having the player base do it. I don't expect everything to be tested; but once again the example of the Heimdall fight. They designed the fight, surely they should have tested it and see that the AI acted in a weird manner and ended up blocking on mid stage for as long as it wanted. Champions wiffing specials hits? Sure they should have tested it during the design period? It never showed up during the design, test or recordings for a showcase? Are they playing them on a complete different version or stage of the game?
How are they so unaware of this issues during design and creation and the issues show up during player gameplay.
By the way Titania is whiffing the 2nd hit of one of her specials.
And yes you are right, pictures and video are great for reporting. Now trying to enjoy a game and having to record in case something happens doesn't fit in the description to play a game for enjoyment.

How they make the game is on them. How we post about the game is on us. If only the game was perfect, no one would have to provide feedback and then no one would need to provide good feedback. But we don't live in that world, and how we choose to provide feedback, or even discuss the game amongst ourselves, is our choice and our choice alone, along with all of the ramifications thereof.

The game doesn't need to be perfect, there is no game in the world that is perfect; but at the same time you shouldn't have to press the record button everytime you log in "in case something happens" either.

Agreed. If no one can see the problem with that, then they're just in denial.

There was enough proof of the AI being weird af on the Heimdall encountern in AoA.

Technically that particular one is not an AI issue
But some others definitely are. That dumb behaviour is integrated in heimdall's AI profile. He was a bish since the start. In variants and act 6. The old hard content and to top it off they always gave him extra power gain, they knew what they were doing. He still possess that repulsive AI behaviour. Holding special 1 and spamming heavy for no reason from 10 football field distance.

Toad sos fight was definitely not normal. DLL agreed that toad shouldnt be behaving like that.
Kabam's explanation on onslaught's sos AI was also not believable. That onslut was way too smart for us.
Top two examples of Real AI issues.
(When they don't know what the issue is, its definitely an issue lol)
Ofcourse never acknowledged by kabam.
