What happened to the scheduled maintenances?

From what I remember, the current AI, bugs and dropped inputs weren't that severe back when we had weekly maintenance. Sure the game was much simpler then, but I believe that state of the game would be healthier if we had those maintenances again. Hypothetically if they were to come back, how would Kabam do it with all the content now, especially with battlegrounds?

Kabam said no need but looking at giga hyper AI doing stuff that players can't do? Like I'm facing

1. AI literally teleporting from one end of screen to another when it dash in, repeatedly.
2. AI throwing specials/Parrying/Blocking before it gets up after heavy, special.
3. AI recovering too fast after using heavy/specials, you can no longer punish specials which have beams.
4. Like AI is cancelling the animation that Kabam DESIGNED, what? How that makes sense? 😅

5. Last but not the least, from past month or so, AI began to do light intercept, way too much? Like to the point that it has started to ignore intimidate, infuriate debuffs just to LIGHT intercept, again and again, there's still video of MSD/Bero getting light intercepted 3 times in a row, 3 !! Back to back, again and again, fortunately he had unstoppable buff to record that nonsense.

Pair 5 with 4 and 3, Now we get AI which is more of luck based, instead of skill, like I can no longer dex special and go in to punish AI, it will throw light intercept 80% times, it's ridiculous.

Back when architecture was older, server needed to be shut down to be maintenance or something like that. Nowadays we got better technology that can have maintenance happen without shutting the entire server down. Isn't that maintenance stopped, it just stopped needing to be a disruption.

It was bi-weekly and it didn't have anything to do with fixing what you listed.

All the better technology and still AI haven't been fixed yet? Just yesterday AI in BG refuse to throw special because it wanted to reach undexable sp2 for 30 seconds 😃

Can I ask, what drives you to assume that fixing A.I is so easy like you make it out to be? In your previous comment in this thread, you talk about "teleporting A.I". I've never experienced it ever playing this game. Same with your comment above, I haven't had A.I holding specials for 30 seconds to reach a SP2 that can't be dex'd.

Don't you understand that many of the interactions that people have with the A.I are things they are experiencing alone? Y'all reference a few videos like from Beroman but as much as you or anyone else on here complains about the A.I, none of you ever show it either.

I have some weird interactions like being light intercepted but it usually happens to me because I think the defender is running in. It's not something that is easy to fix and with all the different devices and everything out there, you can't just press a magic button and make the AI work how you want it.

It was actually weekly,at least back in the day, I don't remember it ever being bi weekly. Every Tuesday, iirc.
But either way, you are right that it had absolutely nothing to do with bugs, and everything to do with server maintenance.

Was it every week? I don't remember 100% but I swear it was every 2 weeks. I'm probably wrong haha

I'm pretty sure it was every week, but now you have me wondering if maybe I'm wrong lol

Anybody with a better memory than us wanna chime in here?!? 🤣🤣

I just assume that core feature of a competitive game shouldn't be left unfixed for THIS long months now? But if you say it's hard, we'll just agree to it I guess.

Teleporting AI, as in sometimes AI's dash-in is FASTER than player's dashes, the sudden timing can easily trip people off, as it's literally frame skipping dash, so it's dubbed as "teleporting" but if it's intentional? Then alright, if not perhaps a fix will be nice.

"This thing never happened to me, so it never exists 😃" Literally every page of forum has people mentioning AI holding their specials forever, especially in 120 second BG matches, for what? Take a guess.

The clip is in one of his BG showcase but you don't need to see it, it literally goes like this, "He dashes in, AI light intercept, he goes back, dash again, intercept again, back, dash again, intercept again" just because he had unstoppable buff, it's rather funny.

If AI is not getting fixed then what's the end solution? Suffer? 🤗

We don't need scheduled maintenances. We need unexpected, sudden, unscheduled maintenances that occur in crucial time (last 2 hr before bg season) uninformed, so that we all get sweet huge free stuff as compensation 🥰

It's incredibly difficult to "fix" the AI because of how complex the code is for interactions. It's not like it's "move a decimal on an excel sheet" and ta da it's fixed. It's layers on layers of code that has to work other layers. Just because you believe it shouldn't take this long, doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing. It's fairly obvious you don't have any experience with that topic at all and it's ok. You may think it shouldn't take that long but you are incorrect.

Never had an issue with teleporting AI but AI animation cancelling and throwing specials while still mostly on the ground is a real issue. It seems like if the animation is now partly complete the AI can carry on as normal and that Includes the getting up animation, as long as it's been started they can launch a special.

I concur with the AI "teleporting". This isn't new, this game has been plagued with this to a point that I've stopped complaining about it and an issue they just won't ever address and/or correct. I've tempered my expectations of things getting corrected on this game by Kabam, and accept whatever animal dung rolls out.
