Why write a suggestion thread without making a suggestion on how to improve? That seems like nothing more than ranting than a useful suggestion, and it's already been brought up many times.

Also, perfecting the AI would mean that in normal battles, skill and strategy would be pointless as a perfect AI system is far more efficient than any human could ever be (check out all the chess AI). I'd rather not have them work on improving Auto to the point where it'll be better to just Auto every battle.

I can't speak for everyone, but my interrupts don't ALWAYS target the same character. There seems to be a bit of RNG as sometimes they'll focus a Hinata one fight, and in the next they'll focus Sasuke. Other times, they may even interrupt both. I enjoy that not every fight is the same and that RNG creates unlimited possibilities and scenarios (which allows for a struggle between 2 equally strong players).

Creating a priority, would be a decent suggestion, if the players themselves could choose. Maybe as a player, I do want to take out their Hinata or Kimimaro because they are key in their ranked team's combo as well as annoying tanks. We've all had to deal with how the AI chooses a target after its original target dies, and it hits a clone (which is because typically the AI targets the lowest HP target on Auto).

And, sure it would be awesome to see the AI improve, but there are other things like bugs and content updates that I believe are to be prioritized. If someone here wants to code an example of how to improve the AI, then by all means do so. Otherwise, it's something minor and complaining about it constantly is only going to annoy rather than help.

Oh I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about the countless of people that make threads to complain and don't provide any solutions.

This is the type of discussion I like seeing. Players bouncing ideas off each other and trying to improve the system. This discussion, however, is above my head as the most complex AI I've programmed was for a tic-tac-toe assignment for one of my classes :L. I can only hope minds brighter than mine have the innovation to improve the system we all agree could use some work.

And that would imply he could do better or that he could come up with a better battle system wouldn't it? Then, there would be people complaining about why the AI is smart in Ranked, but terrible outside. If it's not hard for you, feel free to code a program demonstrating the suggestions. I, personally, already spent hours coding and debugging programs without having to deal with a buggy AI, so it's above me.

And of course, with all ideas, it'll be up to the developers if they want to implement them. We're just here to provide suggestions. This post was last edited by Lazyboi at 2016-9-22 09:30

Yeah of course, there are people that have made great suggestions on how to improve things regardless of whether or not it's capable of programming. My only problem is that there has been several of these threads, but none of them add to the discussion (so I'm glad this one at least has suggestions and a discussion).

We don't know how much Daiske relays to the developers, and I'm sure he's probably already brought the ranked AI up to the admins already. I say it not to shut down people's suggestions, but for people that don't suggest anything, but say "it should be easy to fix the AI. Why haven't they fixed it yet?"

You're right, I agree it could've been handled better, but I c*so understand how frustrating it must be to have to handle the Customer Service section by himself (anyone whose worked in retail can empathize with him). I definitely want more communication from Oasis on what they're looking into and improving on.
