Urgg Boolean wrote:From what has been said, you can't hold aggro via DPSing, otherwise known as threat. Compared to other games, aggro management in EvE is in the stone age. If you are tweaking AI, we really need a complete set of tools to manage aggro. Skills or techniques that affect the threat tree or aggro list. In most games, tanks have all manner of tricks they use to maintain aggro, while wimpier toons have threat reduction tricks. I don't believe there is any such dimension to PvE play in EvE. Flame me if I'm wrong, of course.
I'll play with this on Duality. My initial impression is that "better AI" without real tools for aggro management is not going to be optimal. I promise, I'll keep an open mind.
this "better AI" is designed for solo mission/belt rat runners and will definetly hurt teamplay in PVE, also the impact in drone boat dps will be so huge that it will force people to use ships without any drones.
there is good sh.it and there is bad sh.it
and this update is definetly bad sh.it |

how true
no matter what u do to rats they will never be exiting after u met them for the third time
what makes pvp interesting is that u never know how many ar what ship designs u will meet
and then come tears, cursing and some amusing chit chat
so if devs aint inventing a true AI with human behavior
all of it is pointless
and the work on trying to make rats not boring is simply an exuse to say "we done something" |

guys cammon
to make drones pull agro from npc dosnt make the game more chalanging
it simply prolongs the process of killing those npc
and in the end u will sit with npc EWAR on u with all drones either dead or in drone bay
hopelesly hoping that the next cycle of ewar will fail
it dosnt make the game more exiting but simly more boring and frustrating
where logistic ships will becoume npc tanks, half of the mission income will be used to replace drones
and many more negative sides |
