Was the AI Changed Recently?
I'm not sure if it's me, but there are a lot of odd things that have happened in the past couple of days. Some of my experiences are:
- More frequent defender ability triggers: most notably, AQ Map 4 Angela was at 20% hp and did a couple of extremely fast double mediums (all critical hits) and killed my attacker out of nowhere; never happened to me before
- Countering forward dashes with light attacks: most notably, AQ Map 4 Rogue countered my CG's first medium twice in a row; never happened to me before
- Randomly and extremely passive or aggressive defenders: on a quest or map path, the defenders randomly vary from very aggressive to extremely passive; varying aggressiveness and passiveness isn't something new, but this time the scale of the variation is much larger
- Highly block proficient defenders: when doing a full combo into a special attack and I tap the sp button a fraction too early such that the medium gets interrupted, the AI instantly blocks the special attack; has happened before, but not as consistently as now
- Defender retaliation with a special attack in the middle of an attacker's full combo: this isn't new, but this shouldn't be possible if the player is tapping/swiping/executing the normal attacks in the proper tempo
I actually wish it was just me. Because I can correct any mistakes I may have missed noticing and avoid these things again. I'm Cavalier (spent less than 20 revives in Act 6.1) 9 months active, and an officer in my alliance - I know it's not exceptional or anywhere close to it. I just wanted to provide a reference to my skill level.
But if the AI stays this way indefinitely, the game will get A LOT less enjoyable, at least for me.
