Dumb question how do you play the AI,I keep clicking on the one say vs AI but not getting credit when I win towards daily challenge?
NO!
Please EA do not tune it down.
The challenge is appropriate. I do not believe it is so hard that experienced pilots cannot win (I know that you can win). I find that the game is well and truly tuned appropriately that beginner pilots can absolutely learn and progress themselves a heck of a lot in just a few games.
I only speak for myself and not the community obviously, but to tune it down would be a disservice to the game.
It seems apparent to me that Ranked play is going to be the future of this game and if people will not practice against challenging bots they will hit a hard wall in Ranked play and that will ruin it for people in all tiers who want to progress but cannot because people will stagnate.
If you find the bots challenging (and I hear that - their aim is impeccable) then it should encourage you to learn to maneuver, change your loadouts, try different ships (need to see more supports lol).
The game needs help you progress, not hold you back by being easy.
Just my two cents.
- @NathTensent I understand were your coming from but if you think that new players can be an expert straight away then your wrong for the daily challenge Is win the AI match can you see anyone who has 0 experience with the game can win a game with the level of challenge right now for the AI I’ve played 4 AI battles on the game not one of them I’ve won Don’t come on here saying the all new players should be an expert at when it first come out everyone is different has different skills and it’s clear that you don’t understand how others play games if you think that allowing the AI to destroy new players right of the bat then your no Star Wars fan and an impostor to the fan base I’ve loved Star Wars since i was born and don’t take it out on others just because they struggle to get the win if you can’t understand from there point of view don’t make a comment about it
- @NathTensent people are asking for the easy mode to be made ... well ... easy. That can be easily balanced by reducing xp from that mode. I don't think there is an issue there.
Nah, you're completely wrong. The difficulty is a huge problem - because there is no path to improve.
It is impossible to destroy the shield generators on the star destroyer in AI mode. Impossible. Not improbable, not difficult - impossible. It can't be done. The game tells you to use bombers to attack capital ships. A Y-wing flies so slowly it rarely even makes it to the star destroyer, let alone delivers any meaningful damage.
After I make short work of the AI pilots in each dogfight mode, clean up both their cruisers without losing either of mine, then the second the "Attack the Star Destroyer" stage starts it's game over. You just fly towards it and are killed INSTANTLY by a combination of the AI pilots and the unbelievably accurate and powerful shooting from the star destroyer. There is literally ZERO point to even attempting to attack it. The game at that point is sitting back and letting the Corvette try to damage the star destroyer, then hoping you can fend off the superpowered, indestructible AI fighters before they blow up the paper napkin that is the Calamari Cruiser.
If there was some way to get better, it wouldn't be an issue. I don't mind hard games. But you don't learn anything and there's no skills to improve when you can't even approach the ship. It's a joke.
It's the same the other way around as well, It's SSOOOOOOOOOOO ANNOYING!!!!!!
- @NathTensent This isn't Dark Souls it's not sacrilegious to have an easy mode on a cheap game.
- @69UgandaKnuckles Like you noticed it's not dark souls. It's not also Sekiro. It's not even DCS. Those are hard games. Unlike squadrons.
Posting "it's too hard" on first three days of game release is equally poisonous to the game. And it's a bit silly.
I would fully understand: after two weeks of playing, I understand all mechanics, and claim that it's too hard.- @MadogPL Where are all this hidden mechanics, theres a drift...thats about it. Its hardly a game of depth 🙂
I dont think EA need our help poisoning their game, they've done a pretty fantastic job on their own so far.
Its a shame, maybe one day it'll even work on something other than 60hz monitor ☹️
I agree that on Normal it should be challenging, but on Easy it should be winnable more often.
I mean i have played PVP and it's MUCH EASIER in the ranking games than against Easy AI.
The problem is that AI coordinates perfectly, and aims perfectly. Enemy support throws care packages left right and center plain faster than any human could hope to react to who is getting focused.
In the replays, you also see some very fishy maneuvers and lasers basically shooting way off center of their ship. That's really not how it should be on Easy setting at least.
The most frustrating part however is when they assault your Capital ship. I don't think there should be invulnerability on re-spawn, but I barely get out of the Hangar against AI. They SPAWN CAMP you HARD even on Easy mode.
I mean, don't tell me that new players learn a lot from that experience. It's just frustrating in any game when spawn camping is a possible
