Serious question: if you believe that the game cheats against you, why do you keep playing it? Nothing you get/buy will change the cheat, you'll always be playing an unfair game if you actually believe it.

It's actually irrelevant. We aren't playing against the game, we are playing against each other.

At no point we play against eachother directly. There's always ai at the other end. See the previous posts to understand where this is coming from.

You don't play against GA opponents?

And I don't only mean your matched opponent, but our place on the GAC rank ladder is based on our performance relative to everyone else's. It's literally how we are measured.

Have you really read the topic or just responding to a single message taking it out of context?

Yeah, an I'm trying to see how "AI cheats" is relevant.

Ah, I now understand what you meant is irrelevant. Yes, of course we compete against eachother in many modes.

I personally wouldn't want to keep on playing a game that secretly cheats against me though. Any difference of rng for ai controlled units vs. the player controlled ones has been denied by a dev quite a while ago, this was 2016. I have yet to see any stats that proves otherwise.

Yes. And while you're probably right about there being no difference, my point is that it could just be one of many ways to tune the difficulty.

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 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.

I'm pretty critical of cg. Rng though is another topic called statistics. If you just put the effort towards gathering data that showcases your claim instead of anectodal "I can't believe this happened" quotes, you can actually prove that ai controlled fleets behave better than player controlled ones. Until then, it's a %100 bogus claim. And please don't hide behind the bug that noone claims doesn't exist which has nothing to do with your claim about "cheating ai".

I did. ten dodges in a row has happened multiple times. My counter is for CG to tell me when one of my ships has dodged 10 times in a row on offense? Let alone 14 of 15 attacks being dodged. I've also seen streamers / content creators have similar issues with 5+ dodges in a row, especially when the AI has one ship left. (I'm sure it's just a coincidence and I'm crazy though.)

I also play the game because there are many other aspects of it that I enjoy. What I have an issue with is the "RNG" that appears to dislike losing sometimes. CG's response will be "well if we look at the average of win/loss and how often dodging is happening to all players and in all matches, it's well within the percentage rate." (Even though a 25% dodge rate should mean that 10 dodges in a row is statistically improbable. Very improbable.)

At that, when there's a legit bug like with the vulture droid, that makes RNG even worse for players. "well it's just RNG" is a lame excuse. Bugs add to the frustration of that RNG as well. I realize they're working to try to fix the bugs, but fleets is already a pain as it is, without bugs like this occurring.
