Vulture droid

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

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

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.

I think you misuderstood what I'm responding to. The issue is the change to the vulture assists making malo counter to exec worse, not ai controlled player fleet getting more assists than player controlled ones. I've yet to see a video of this "cheating ai" that is claimed on the post above mine.

Vulture droid has 3 bugs on it atm at least; even EA answers conceded that. I have seen the behavior described by Sewpot just in doing battle against Malevolences. Maybe you should fight more of them, then you can enjoy the fact that the AI controlled "player" vulture's replacement does the behavior described. You don't work for CG so whether you believe the bug exists or not is of no impact to any other forum user.

These aren't hard bugs to encounter. To hear support talk, they are. But I've not met anyone who hasn't suffered from the bugs.

Just look at what happens when you face malevolence in TB. Does the malevolence fleet there ever miss an opportunity to assist? That's the extreme example of assisting, but you don't see that malevolence not assisting on every single turn there's a "chance" to.

You can call it "bogus" all you want, that's you having blinders on to anything critical of CG and RNG. But hey, good for you for living in the land of sunshine, happy flowers and make believe.

When MY ships on offense dodge 10 times in a row, multiple times and/or dodge 14 of 15 attacks as the ships on defense have I'm trying to take out, then I'll consider it "even". It's not bogus if players can watch the AI getting better rolls over and over again in multiple matches. I just watched two fleets get obliterated because Tie Fighter dodged so many attacks, Thrawn's capital ship did its ultimate THREE TIMES with only Tie Fighter remaining. Why? Oh because Tie Fighter has a whopping 25% dodge rate and because of that dodges 95% of the time. That's the kind of GARBAGE that we have to experience. My ships ain't doing that on offense. (If your ships are dodging 10 attacks in a row on offense, post the video to prove it.)

If CG can tell me about specific matches where my ships on offense did 10 dodges in a row, more than once, okay fine. But that doesn't happen FOR me, only AGAINST me. It doesn't matter if it's in TB, TW, GAC, fleet arena, etc. The "RNG" excuse is masking AI advantage. I'm not saying I lose all the time, or that I lose most of the time. But in GAC especially, when there are bugs, the AI has advantages, added to ships being ignored for years, it's just more fuel on the fire. If you have "bad" RNG two times in Kyber GAC, that's it, you most likely aren't clearing. This bug makes that possibility increase substantially.

Obviously one can't really "prove" anything without digging deep into the code, but I have definitely noticed that the AI tends to have better rng than the player overall. Recently I've lost a FO vs Raddus match because the enemy literally dodged 12 times in a row. Normally that counter is fairly easy to pull off, but I simply couldn't land a hit, so I lost terribly. And AI dodging multiple times in a row is by no means uncommon. 12 dodges in a row is definitely rare, but like 4-6 in a row happens to me almost all the time when I fight the AI. Now when I use the Raddus though, I may get 3 dodges in a row on a very good day, but usually it's like 1 dodge here and there if I'm lucky. Of course one could say I'm just being unlucky, but it's happening almost all the time, so I'm not buying it. And even with Exec mirrors the AI seems to have the upper hand with double taps like 65% of the time. I'm 99% sure the AI has slightly improved rates on certain things, if not all.

In this game that happened with the last 2 Chases. CG didn't say anything about that :(

Yeah, and CG learned from their mistakes and decided to just ignore it after we gave them the statistics.
