WHAT THE HELL! - AI way too strong now

It isn't designed for wings. It has to be able to work in solo. If it doesn't, it needs to be fixed.

You still don't need to be in a wing, but you do have to be pretty good at combat and have a good ship, loadout and strategy. I think that's totally legit, it is after all supposed to be the hardest of the RES types.. (And High really is much easier than Haz now because of the cops and how effective they are)

I was just responding to a post saying HAZres requires a wing. I was just saying it would be broken if that is a the case.

Why?

Elsewhere people are crying out for areas with tougher enemies and easier targets elsewhere. There are areas with tougher enemies and people demand they should be just as easy?!?

Where's the middle ground? :/ People need to find it if we're going to have peace - I'm VERY happy that as a non-highly combat skilled pilot that I'm scared of haz-res and cz's now - isn't it really really strange that I wasn't?!?
DING DING DING. Winner!
Haha that was what I thought as I read through. 100 hours of shooting fish in a barrel doesn't make anyone a sharp-shooter sadly - and THAT was the bug/fault, not the new AI.
 
I didn't even know they patched yesterday, though. Were there any notes?

Because everything in game needs to be able to be achieved in solo mode. That's how the game is advertised. I'm fine with HAZres being scary. It just shouldn't require a wing. I can do HAZres solo, or I could Friday. That's why I'm asking if there are any patch notes.

No combat requires being in a wing, obviously the devs encourage cmdr's to fly in wings, that was the whole point of the wings update. You can do a Haz res solo, you'll find it a lot easier if you bring a friend along. Same deal with the old strong signal sources, I used to solo those in a Python, it was quite difficult, wing up with a friend and we would cruise through it easily.

Of course a wing makes it easier. I'm just wondering what this patch is, if there are any notes, and if anything was mentioned in this regard.

Ah ok fair enough. The way I see it there's two possibilities, if you're a strong pilot you can do it on your own with no issues. If you're not you have the option of doing it in a wing. I see this as a very good thing because it gives a bit of a challenge for solo polits at the higher end of the difficulty curve and also gives less experienced players the opportunity to practice fighting in wings where previously that wasn't possible because there was nothing hard enough to bother with wings against..

Why?

SURVIVABLE in solo yes, the best pilots could even do very well - but fully 100% achievable? Why? How can there be enough challenge for a wing of four elites if the max-difficulty is set at just one?

remember it's a proper group game - we don't all individually have to defeat the entire alien threat - it Should be a group effort - and should still be challenging for the very best
 
What a monumentally unhelpful thing to say. I agree, the AI isn't that bad but this is completely unnecessarily. Start answering questions based on trying to be helpful instead of simply massaging your own ego.
Congratulations, you are now leading the most pointless and unhelpful posts of the day.
Since both of you didn't seem to bother to read and comprehend the original post: the OP claims FD has tinkered the AI again with the latest minor patch. Which they haven't. Which I pointed out.

By the way: if you want to gripe about the oh-so-difficult new AI, the general thread for this purpose is here.

Because solo is supposed to be equal to the others. If something can't be done in solo, it is broken.

I agree we need wing content thought. Missions for wings, and definitely npc wingmates should be their top priority at this point.
 
..
+1. You can't just get in a racing car and expect to be a top pilot...

Yet another fanbois making assumptions and throwing theories without facts.......... Are these people SO Narcissist or is it sarcasm I cant tell as idiocy doesnt translate well I'm afraid lol
 
Haz RES is designed for wings of the best combat ships available or for the very Elite, so those people have content without getting bored. You need to go to low RES or high if you know how to handle your ship and low is too easy.

I changed my loadout again. Now it works. Python is strong enough for a HAS REZ.

These forums have become a cesspool of this stuff lately. The name calling is the worst.

I avoided forums in games like WoW because of the toxic attitude of the community. This forum was friendly until the last month. That's why i joined. Now it's just as bad.

Oh I read it and yes he's wrong. He's also wrong about the AI. What I thought was lame was that you basically said "I can kill them, therefore you suck". This is a really lame thing to do. It's not your point of view I disagree with but the way you chose to express that in order to make someone else feel bad.
 
buff, nerf, buff, nerf, ... It's reaaaaaaaaaaally annoying. The AI got patched again yesterday? with .02????

WTH! I can't kill any ship without almost losing my Python. Can we please leave things as they are now? I can't just think of any game that is so annoying with the CONSTANT buff and nerf !

You are hunting in pretty much the most angerous place you could be, in a multirole ship *equipped* for combat. Maybe dial it back a bit if you know things are tougher?
 
The AI is glorious. Don't try to turn the NPC pilots into lowly rats to be farmed.

Dangerous to Elite NPCs should be feared.

Another wonderful example of your lack of reading comprehension: this is not what I wrote, nor what I meant.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "done"

Personally I will always be happy with there being challenges I can't face, that's just life - it'd be weird and wrong to me if such didn't exist in a realistic game-world. The end-game sections of many are just bizarre to me as you wander around with your Fierce Deity sword smiting everyone in a second.
