Hmm, sure. Yeah, I could add some randomized personality pretty easily, so why not?

update: this is now live on the test server.. if it works. see what you think.

I think this sounds great. I hope it works out.

nice a1k0n... very nice.

Just got ray to warp me over to giera on the test server and tried it out in BP since thats what i've been doing the most of lately... theres enough difference that each bot is a bit individual..

ray said you set it to about 40% random from the norm in the distance they try to keep.. you might want to go a bit more, but not much...

Its kinda nice to see some of them back off when you move towards them at 100 meters and others let you get to 20 meters..

Or when they try to keep between 120 and 180 meters from you in a regular fight.

There was one that didnt seem to act right however.. one bot didnt fire at all, it just kept trying to get next to me, i sat perfectly still and it moved to within a few meters, but never shot at me.

When the mission editor comes out, we should be able to set some of the numbers for the bots involved in the missions. I think that it would be really cool to let us customize the AI to our liking. Just a thought.

Definitely.

Spellcast, what kind of bot was it?

I like their new AI , it's just great not too hard, not too easy !
GODD WORK DEAVS it couldn't have been better :)

just 1 point in the BP when 2 bots fight each other they still wanna kiss themselves ( it's not annoying cause its just bots vs bots though)

umm it was a BP bot a1kon... itani to be specific..

I also had a single valent assault in sedina that refused to shoot at me unless I closed to within 200 meters of it, if I was sitting perfectly still it stopped at 220 meters..
if i moved a bit closer it would shoot while backing away.. when it hit 200 meters..
it stopped shooting and then game to rest 220 meters from me again.

I'm not sure however if that is something you did or just the usual 'new hive' sillyness where you can shoot a gaurdian and it just keeps flying.

Yeah, I realized a little while ago that I forgot to adjust their maximum firing range to account for their preferred fight distance. Oops.
