People may not fully understand how AI programming works, but they've played enough PvE games to understand how it is supposed to play, and simply "slapping something together" is not going to deliver a proper product to meet people's expectations. it would just created a clearly half-assed product, people would come back saying "yay PvE!" and then quickly say "Well this is really ******" and leave again.

Sorry but I would rather starve than eat a pile of ****.

Just was talking about a starting point, trying to demonstrate that the #1 most demanded feature for this game is not only possible, its feasible.

I'd like to try and argue my point but I'm already worn out and in a bad mood so you win. Idgaf right now

Well I didnt mean to upset you. My point is that as a player, I don't want a PvE game mode that's half assed just to push it out the door. I want something that it's properly done from the ground up, and not just taped together with scraps of assets laying around.

As Hunter S. Thompson put, GÇ£Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.GÇ¥

Anyone getting annoyed by reading of the above post should consider the following. I don't care so neither should you :)

You could have have large drones that only attack vehicles, 2 different medium drones one that repairs and one that attacks ground troops and small ones that attempt to move away from ground troops and use long range weapons. The large and small drones are pretty slow but other than following a basic rule of engagement that would be about all the start with. Maybe they hang around in groups like squads and shoot at the first thing that activated the AI or by shooting at a that drone or a member of that group or if something gets too close. They are basic bots, we aren't asking for alien isolation style intelligence here or to not know the difference between a bot and a player. You are right in saying a don't know anything about AI like most of us but CCP had someone in EVE program the space equivalent of this years ago - so why would it be so hard now?
