Take game down for however long it takes for you to sort out the problems, promise big rewards for when it comes back on. This shouldn’t be happening. There are so many players and you’re making a lot of money. We understand making a phone game must be difficult. But this keeps happening and there ought to be enough money coming in to sort it out.
If Kabam devs didn't directly change ai behavior, what did they change (some things) that ended up indirectly changing ai behavior?
It could have been anything. One theory right now is that it's an intermittent issue that occurs when the client fails to read what the intended AI is from the Server. That is not a change to AI, but an issue with one of the many many interacting parts of the game.
@Kabam Miike If it was, could you please kindly provide us the schedule for fixing that problem? When I play the game before the fix, I'll waste items that I wouldn't have needed to use otherwise.

Hmm, I suppose it most likely is a client side bug, since those that didn't upgrade didn't have the issue, and those that did have the issue all have the new client.
So this issue seems to be everywhere right now - uncollected, Act 6 , Map 6, Map 5 , Boss rush. Just standing in corner not doing anything. Well glad to know it was not intended. Seems like the shifting AI behavior from ROL .
Love the block damage I have to eat right now in AQ, keep up the great work Kabam
I mean... come on man, the AI is bad but complaining about block damage... The AI is about as equivalent to what AQ map 5 was a month ago. If you’re taking that much block damage in AQ right now then you need to work on improving your skills.
I am in AQ right now and haven’t taken any block damage.
I'm not sure if this information is going to help at all but I've definitely seen a huge difference in the way the opponents have been acting across all facets of the game.
I played through the Heraldic Difficulty this morning and struggled against the Vision Aarkus boss who would not throw a single special but also wouldn't attack.
I've seen a big difference on how the AI has been acting in AQ as well. Usually they'll dash in at me or hold block and wait for me to hit them but I was followed across the map by them just casually advancing - no dash or anything. It eventually did what I wanted it to but I nearly backed myself into a corner trying to get it to bait a special.
Lastly I'm running through the arena right now and a lot of the normal behaviors I've gotten used to seeing are just gone.
This happened on both an Android and an Apple device.
I’ve been playing for awhile now and passive ai is annoying. But I overlooked it because normal fights are fun going back and forth. This however isn’t fun at all. Every arena fight I did today had the ai walk up to me and stand there waiting for me to throw a punch. Then it instantly parry stuns me and attacks. I went for about 4 rounds and shut it off. It’s not worth playing. This has become an unfun, unbalanced, poorly designed game. There are better options for gacha games out there.
I noticed the AI change this morning as I was finishing up some exploration of the July side quest, on the intermediate difficulties. The passive "neutral" stance (as termed by UKM) which blocks immediately upon me initiating any attack is just half the problem. The other half is the way the defender jogs across the screen as I dash back, eating up tons of ground that is critically valuable to me for baiting specials and otherwise managing his power bar. Other alliance members started discussing it as soon as AQ started, and we joked that the old map 5 AI was back.
Sooo annoying, just did uncollected event quest and felt strange, I supposed that it was me just because i wasnt used to Dragon Man and Air Walker, then went into Herald difficulty side quest, dude, had to waste more than 300 units and 10k heals and some revives to do it cause the A.I. aint using specials or attacking, that perfect block and parry and holding specials was terrible, i quit playing till they fix it, got the rewards kinda angry by the way, i prefer to dont play instead of getting those rewards with 0 fun
Also, this is making the AI in arena just follow you until you're back into your corner without throwing specials, and then wrecking your whole life...
I have video recorded of the AI doing this exact thing. Herald difficulty aarkus was a pain because of the AI acting up. He would keep walking toward me keeping me coldsnapped the entire time.
First off, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will continue to monitor this.
Meanwhile, please continue to provide us specific information, such as: i) what is unusual about the specific opponent(s); ii) where are you encountering this; iii) when are you encountering this (specific instances, if applicable)
The above information will be very helpful in our data collection and investigation.
Thanks for being awesome, and thank you in advance for your cooperation!
I have experienced it in side quests fighting in beta quest. I have also experienced it in duel fights. I think its everywhere. I feel if you have played this game regularly before the last update, in the very first fight after the update you will notice the change in AI.
Changes like these in AI ruins years of practice fighting bots and this is WRONG! Please please please fix this..

That means a new client must be made.
