@drewwagar I'm off combat AI so my update won't happen, the one I've been talking about, especially at Lavecon.

Thanks! Doesn't sound like a happy reassignment.

I don't have twitter at all so I can't follow anyone (is that what the @ thing is about?)
 
She has been saying that she will finish her AI job soon, so it was planned. However, there was some tasks left not finished, so those seem to be point of tension.
 
AI updates have been going in a good direction. Future changes would probably had been pretty awesome.

Unfortunately that all gets undermined by horrible RNG spawning functions. It does her work no justice when you're spawning expert sidewinders to pirate deadly Anacondas or not making use of wings to combat skilled players.
 
She was moved and hidden so as to not continue embarrassing the rest of the staff at ED by being effectively responsive to what players wanted. She has most likely been told that FD can no longer permit such behavior and to correct her errant thinking she will be in charge of AD's hair styling to enhance PP development. They have no idea that it will only take her a few seconds to change the hair from blue to red.

Why the hell have FD taken away one of the most anticipated updates to the AI that we all have been looking forward too, and then gagged one of the more engaging members of the FD dev team.

I honestly just don't get it sometimes, it genuinely feels as if FD are trying to upset us!
 
Wait, retired from the forums? I'm not reading that with my brown-tinted glasses am I? She did the BEST job at that. She could teach a class on it.

Can only conclude this was because Sarah's new AI was dangerously close to becoming self-aware and unleashing nuclear armageddon upon us all. Disaster was probably only averted by teaching it to play endless games of noughts-and-crosses in order to understand the futility of war.

Sad though, was actually nice to have someone that communicated on the forums.
 
That is unbelievable. The one real star FD had. Idiots have dropped the ball AGAIN if they moved her off job.

That's kind of how I feel. She knew her stuff*, she enjoyed what she did, she wanted to do a proper job of it, she communicated with FD's customers and in doing so increased what we know about some of the game's systems.

Yup, makes sense to move her to another Dept at this stage...who's the Capt. of this ship?

*She fixed the DC man.

Obviously we are only on the outside looking in but seriously Frontier this looks and feels like a counter-productive move, hard to get my head round......

Maybe they want to dumb it down even more so that the casuals can have even more fun and just leave us in the shadows

Duly +1 repped. :)
