AI issues

This post on the AI is great and all, I ajve very little faith it's all going to go down flawless since we cant even have a monthly update without bugs but eventually it will be good.

But why have Kabam conveniently missed out their lack of effort to fix the current AI? They said themselves, 'weighted dice rolls' yes it is random, but they clearly have an influence on which random event happens and what time, throwing heavy when we hold block for example, which is why we have champions with different AI builds like Chavez who will throw 3 heavies across the screen. But they arent even trying to help with this.

Also, recovery time. One of the massive issues is Kabam have tuned the recovery time so much we cant even punish a heavy with Medium without being parried at times, most specials cannot be punished at all and the AI can perform and action whilst it is still recovering from being knocked down, But there's zero attempt to resolve this?

And finally, BG nodes. Why the f*ck did we just have an intercept meta with no aggression node?! Kabam can do more and they chose not to, that isn't going to change when a new AI drops who is already more capable and advanced that what we have now.

This is going to be a sh*t show for at least a yesr after release especially with the whole premise being to build the MSD of defender AI and then telling it to downplay and not perform actions? Yeh because thats done great with all the changes they've made to an AI that knows nothing more than random button mash 😂

The game is literally on the edge of failing, the whales are stopping spending money, people are quitting and Kabam arent doing anything to help with the current situation at all just planning to drop a big fix in a year and hopefully it works

From a costs point of view it doesn’t make any sense at all to put time and money into the existing AI if you’re also spending time and money developing a new one. It’s like putting a new engine in your car when your just about to trade it in, except that the old AI has no resale value at all.

At the same time, if your car was in limp mode and broke down half way to work everyday and the new car wasn't arriving for 'sometime next year' you'd get your current car up to a working standard at

I can fix the current AI within 24 hours but that would make all content too easy for players so that's the reason why Kabam won't do it either

The current AI remains bcos it maintains the level of difficulty that they want for players, you want rewards you defeat the current AI

Even Kabam said it themselves that AI 2.0 will maintain the level of difficulty by being similar to the current AI

The difference is that Kabam will be able to make changes easily to AI 2.0

Remember 2014 AI, it was so easy, you want easy AI? Time travel back to 2014

Taking years to fix AI is far too long by any standards, most games would have shut down by then

I miss perfect block teams lol😂

There is already different levels of difficulty within the AI across the game, act 1 and 2 is a different AI to what we face in BG

But thers a big difference between AI who holds block so ling you can land a random heavy and AI who recovers and moves faster than the player, AI that skips frames, AI that doesnt throw a special when repeatedly prompted but will throw a special at the worst time or AI that you can't safely or predictably intercept at times, especially with the fact it run immediately and throws a light, that not a higher tuned AI, thats bullsh*t and ruins the game 😂

We don't need an 'easy AI' we need an AI that maintains the same restrictions we do
