Where is the AI?

[Churchill]

One of the statements made between 1.23 and Alpha was that 2.0 would be launching with a unique AI system, one that reacted to what the players were doing, the party setups, and its damage intake. It would react by using specific TP moves, perhaps if your group had poor AoE healing, it would use more AoE, that type of thing.

I'm pretty sure they scrapped it in favor of making the fights piss easy and instead of AI, made all the bosses toss a random attack at a random person randomly.

Look forward to it.

That would have been amazing..... Sad that they didn't even try to do some ai. At least in 1.0 mobs would have different reactions.

When 1.0 first came out, lots of mobs had personality like some following you curiously, some run away to get help... And more...

But it seems people don't like surprises and rather have the fight wrote down... Personally I didn't mind it and found it funny to play around with ( ' w '

More random battles that made online guides less useful would make this game far more fun imo. Guides would let you know what certain spells etc the mob would use and what they do but that is about all.
I have been playing games for around 35 years and the only guides during the earlier years of gaming came out in magazines usually months after the game was released. I personally would only look at one if i was totally stuck.
These days people tend to look at them or are expected to look at them before even trying the content.

Same people then complain about how easy and boring the game is.

Any word in the live letter on adding smarter mobs?

As many kids are already complaining this game is "too hard" and "want it easier", now you want to introduce random AI mechanics to this game? The complaints just keep rolling on in.

I'm sorry, please don't group those who like a nice and lively polished game with fun to those who want everything handed to em

If you guys want an example of boss AI in MMORPG, take a look at Monster Hunter Frontier

I don't think any other games can do it like MHF tho, & certainly not SE.

AI, Kill healer 1st always go after the healer, the hell with anyone else the healer needs to die then I can kill everyone as slowly as I want..

No thanks!

You do realize that AI is just a single MASSIVE script with various calls for actions based off different inputs.

"Notices Party member is healing party member with most hate." > "Use AOE attack aimed towards Healer" etc. The difference between most AI and a basic script is how many calls there are in the programming and how much freedom the monster gets to chose abilities
