Nerf AI Accuracy

[twitch reflex]

Giving AI laser accuracy is flat out lazy programming. "Hey, let's not waste time creating AI that functions better than a potatoe. Let's just give these vegatables auto-aim and pray no one notices". A true shame how so much potential was flushed down the toilet.....

Some people lack comen sense. Trion has more pressing matters, for them to waste time on the AI when so many other things need fixing would be stupid. I'm glad they increased their accuracy because they lacked it. It's funny that you wrote and wish no one notices when they put it in their patch notes and it was something a lot of people requested.

Use cover...

cover doesn't work for heat seeking grenades lol

My only accuracy complaint is the Blacklung's ability to hit my little toe from about 500 yards away.

But even that is rarely an issue, just due to the map dimensions.

I ran into two blacklungs at once, that was fun

This is a terrible idea... except for Dark Matter Snipers. They have aimbots and wallhax.

And take half a minute to shoot you again ... a single sniper can never kill you.

This goes for quite a lot of mobs, their rate of fire is so low they don't really do anything on their own.

Since it's impossible to get hit by one without suffering a brain anorism and forgetting to move, I'm pretty sure it was.



As for the spot on 100 meter molotov cocktails ... you see those things flying your way ages before they hit ... the bright red blinking sign is there to make sure you're not missing it because of sleep deprevation. Very nice and thoughtful by Trion.
Only way you get hit by one of those is if it comes flying at you from behind or up close and in both cases there's no issue really. Or you're lazy and don't pay attention ... which is still not an issue with the game.

I am a sniper. When facing NPC's I often find an overlook and take out the enemies one by one without having to enter combat, but even up close I never have any issues with the AI, just need to use cover and think tactically, it's not like CoD or such where it's more run and gun.

Raiders get damn annoying when I'm caught in the open... I'd roll, jump, and take cover yet they'll rarely miss a single shot of their ARs... Otherwise Defiance AI combat is relatively easy.

[Elandriel]

Well they can either improve their AI behavior or their aim to make it harder. AI is appalling and there is little chance of it becoming better, so the easy solution is to make their aim better.

Use cover...

I would tend to agree.. if the game had any sort of cover system in it. Running behind a rock and recharging shields is not a great cover system.

If you crouch behind something you should get a bonus to defense at least.

[Arramakaian]

The game is easy, can't believe someone thinks it's hard.

I die sometimes, but that's just because I'm used to modern games being so easy I don't always bother with cover. Glad Defiance at least has some semblance of difficulty.

If they make the enemies AI smarter, then they can tweak the accuracy down a bit.
