I rarely do the Mal counter on the Executor, before or after the bug was introduced. I'm just curious - are there stats showing a significant drop in the win rate before and after?

Yes there are stats, but no you can't see them. Only CG has them.

As far as VD's, they have never worked right and every time they get "fixed" something new is broken. Don't expect them to ever work right and you'll be happier.

So what’s going on with that. Assists on enemies with buzz droids is random nowadays. Did something change?

There's three "Vulture Droids" in the game code. The farmable unit, the one that spawns when the farmable unit dies if you have rank 8 Unique, and the ones spawned by Malevolence. The farmable one can have between 70-100% chance to assist depending on what level its Unique is at. The other two have a 70% assist chance.

A few months ago, CG fixed something where some of the Summoned Vulture Droids were assisting too often or weren't assisting each other. When they did that, it broke something in the Vulture Droid that gets spawned when the farmable one dies. Now that one never assists. So: farmable with Rank 8: always assists; summoned from farmable: never assists; summoned from Malevolence: assists 70% of the time. We're just waiting for a fix to the second one at this point.

I enjoy how the fixes made it worse.

Just make all vulture droids assist on buzz droids regardless of summoned or not.

Mucking around with %s clearly is too much work.

I'd be fine with the summoned vultures just dealing 70% damage on assists rather than an all or nothing 70% of the time. But CG is absolutely in love with RNG because it frustrates people, which opens wallets. So... whatevs

And the trend of “if it helps we fix, if it hurts it stays” when it comes to fixing bugs. Lost my GAC cause the summoned vulture droid from the original never assisting. That’s cool, who needs an extra 700 crystals anyway lmao

The bug did help a player. It helped your opponent. In GAC it does not benefit CG by giving out less rewards

They'll fix it when the AI is bored with destroying our fleets with the 80,000 assists it gets every damn match.

Your AI is a cheating piece of garbage that doesn't seem to have the same issues players do. Almost as if you program it with bonuses and advantages we the players don't get. Nah, I'm sure it's just totes coincidence...

No I’ll agree.?
Today in gac my mal fleet got zero assist vs executor and then my FO got assisted to death vs enemy mal. I mean insane assist! I don’t think I’ve ever seen my fleet assist like that ever!?!
It was comical as much as it was sad.
It’s so so obvious it’s criminal

Yep, been costing me crystals here and there when I biff the Mal counter. Prior to this current issue I'd say I was at 80-90% success, and the ones I lost I still poked some holes in the opposing Executor and had pretty easy cleanups. Have only had one match recently where I was able to 2-tap an Exec, but otherwise haven't won that counter fight in weeks.

At least, for me, my opponents have generally had the same issue taking my Exec out, so it's been a wash for the most part. Twice they succeeded though, and both ended up as round losses for me, where I'd have won had they not succeeded. ?

This type of bogus accusations without any data dilutes the focus from the actual issue which has nothing to do with ai getting more assists.

you sound like EA Answers, who even when presented with video evidence still dismissed it.
