Best Of

Having two accounts means i could play GC and VT at the same time for comparison. They legit knew that it was intercept meta and purposely:

Gave - Us - Passive - AI.

LOL

This comment is pretty instructive because it demonstrates the cycle we are in right now where frustration has led to confirmation bias and it has really taken over.

I understand conspiracy theories that we are making AI deliberately harder in content like Summer of Suffering. They aren't true, every SoS fight has had the same AI profile, but I understand why players might think they are true. Harder AI in Everest content = harder fights = more consumables used = theoretically more money for us, at least in the short term.

However the community should be able to take as step back and realize none of those incentives exist for us in Battlegrounds. In Battlegrounds, the more players play, the better it is for our business. The idea that we would deliberately create a harder or more frustrating AI simply doesn't hold water. We have not, the exact same AI profile is applied to both the VT and GC this season. Any perceived difference is just confirmation bias.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying there are no problems with the AI. I personally believe we have some substantial issues we need to address, and I'm hoping we can communicate them more effectively in the coming months. But I can tell you definitively that we aren't making harder AI profiles to target specific metas.

Can Kabam prove it that its not for money ??

To you? Probably not. But I suspect proving the Earth is round would also be extremely challenging.

What ???! I wrote very simple words, Just Kabam prove its not for money grab through revives, they claim it not for money, Ok prove it, we are posting about the AI negative impact for like years now, its time it get fixed, I don't want anyone to prove the earth is round for me, thanks, I got it all figured out...

@DNA3000 I am sure you are right but I still feel like my smooth brain sees it one way. A year ago fights were very different than they are now. As I learned light and medium intercepts and even draft back intercepts I felt this great feeling of progression in a pretty challenging game. The past six months I feel as though I have become a beginner with a “skill issue.”

To have that awesome feeling of progression stolen away by whatever is going on sucks. To do what seems right no longer be rewarded sucks. I play now and I am completely unsure of what is right! Like what do I do? Light intercept isn’t safe medium intercept isn’t safe punishing heavy isn’t safe punishing specials isn’t safe. Simple fact is whatever is going on sucks the fun right out when you sit there scratching your head like wtf?!

A lot of summoners are left scratching their head asking “WHAT CHANGED?” I was really good at finishing fights 100% now that same skill set seems to lead to being punished.

Secondly we have all read over the last year many things from Kabam staff about addressing AI issues. I can honestly and without anger say if things have changed it’s only for the worse.

So whatever the reason is that the AI has changed is far less important than it has changed and in that process from the frustrations in game and frustrations of what feels like false promises leaves a large portion of people who play this game questioning continuing.

I’d prefer to keep playing but I don’t know if I can with things the way they are. All I can do is stop spending and hope for the best from the Kabam team. History has not painted a bright picture for many of us for these issues to be addressed… I honestly thought when Kabam John that we have some of the biggest news in Kabam history coming out soon that THIS was going to be addressing the AI issues.
