    Aimbotting+numbers!=intelligence

    Still, difficulty of the swarm is in a lot of ways better than difficulty of the mind for the purposes of an MMO. Easier to code, less resources to maintain and dynamic group movements means every battle is different instead of just having to memorize a few telegraphs and attack patterns and having every battle be exactly the same. They do need to adjust when and how enemies use cover though. And we need significantly more enemy types that stick around (start with elemental Volge and Tremblers sticking around and work from there). And Arkfalls need more enemies. And we need more bosses/Arkfalls/roaming bosses.

    Variety makes dynamic fights more interesting.

    Agreed with the variety. I personally love fighting the Volge. They're the closest thing to a challenge that the game currently has. When they first came out I used syphon weapons religiously against everything. Even the Volge emergencies were easy to solo with them. After seeing all the people complain about how hard they were and saying my peace I decided to make an entirely new class focused around Crit damage using the XMR Nolan gives you. Not the best crit weapon I know, but it worked just fine. A few damage reducing perks with some crit mults and I was still able to easily solo Volge emergencies.

    Anyway, point is Defiance needs something harder to kill, and if that is not an option then make enemy numbers greater. Protection in numbers as they say.

    As far as the AI intelligence goes they are still pretty stupid campared to most human players, but they're still relatively more intelligent than most AI that I've fought. Dark Matter especially. Its not often that you see AI in other games use flanking/distraction tactics against you. Whether through my own neglicence or not I've still been caught off guard and put down by sneaky enemies. They will sometimes dodge grenades too, which is both cool and infuriating at the same time. xD

    Y'all whine too much.

    If they are dodging your grenades you are using the wrong grenades. All mine are 0 det time or infector.

    Come come Era. There's no such thing as a "wrong grenade". Though I've never run into an enemy fast enough to dodge my .8 det time grenades I have friends that its happened to, and I've watched it happen to them. xD I guess they just get weak in the knees when they see my Irath coming after them.

    Paradise rep vendor has a leveled 0 det time frag grenade at all times.

    You have literally no excuse.

    Thank you. Guess I should pay attention to those but honestly I tend not to look in most faction vendors. I will however go take a look at that one.

    A.I? This game doesn't have any. We have spunkgargleeweewee bots.

    That would require the enemies to show some form of intelligence. Instead of being easily telegraphed, repetitive, and glitchy at times.

    But yes, it would be nice if Trion would improve on it, don't hold your breath on that though.
    Roses are red, my van is grey, hop inside I have candy, we'll bang OK?
