I just cant help but **** up with the idiocity posted by one of the devs. So....
We have been (silently) following several threads about NPC AI changes deployed in Retribution and we wanted to let you know of our stance on this. - following is good, how about getting of your asses and actually fixing something?
We want PvE activities to require active participation and mirror PvP more closely than just bland launch drones and forget about they exist until all NPCs are dead. Having NPCs engage your drones if they are your primary source of damage is to be expected and we expect play styles to adapt in consequence. - you do know that PVE and PVP are 2 different things? In case you missed, even abbreviation is different. Also if they need to be closer, start by greatly reducing number of ships, then increase their damage and value, introduce builds and tanks variations (list goes on for about 5 km) and generally start to work instead of sitting still. By the way if youre into merging PVP and PVE into one i reccomend you learn the history, aka Ultima Online.
However, there is a fine balance to be reached here, and while we want more challenge in PvE, we don't want drones to be insta-killed without you having time to do anything to prevent it. The changes deployed during Retribution were too extreme, which is why we deployed a patch on December, 19th to alleviate this issue. - And you have failed miserably. Initial patch was a huge nerf to drones but second patch nerfed it even further. Now i cant even tank BSes with my light drones, thank you oh so much my dear coke lovers.
NPCs tracking disruption is too strong since Retribution
This is another bug which should have been fixed on December, the 12th. If you still are having issue with Tracking Disruption NPCs please let us know by filing bug reports with the implied NPC names. - you gotta be blind and not play yor own game not to notice an issue with ALL ewar. TD just being most annoying. Oh and btw, ******* up ewar and ewar counter (drones) at the same time was a brilliant idea. Can i get a personal info of the man responsible? I have some assasins to hire...
Corrected the chance percentage that an enemy NPC will use tracking disruption on a player's ship.
