It's all about AI level, yeah. I've had really nice duels against some of them.

What's annoying is that some of the AI have NO HONOR, and will just jump into a fight.

I actually think they've got 'personalities' programmed into them, maybe concurrent with their names. 'cause I've definitely run into bots that prefer one style of play over another, or who are more or less aggressive.

YTP, basically.

There's emotes in-game, and they have an interrupt built in so that you don't get stuck saluting while a Shugoki or someone comes charging in.

It was discovered very early on that you can 'dance' by chaining those emote-interrupts together. It's fun.

That may be because the AI is pretty dumb. I may struggle to deal with the warden vortex or PK light spam, but defeating AI by throwing them off edges is hilariously easy since they have no environmental awareness. There's no satisfaction in it.


Then don't throw them off edges.

Anyone know when the DLC characters are going to drop? I'm super pumped for the Centurion.

Also, weirdly enough, a few days ago I got a bunch of color schemes and symbols for my characters because I pre-ordered the game. Shouldn't I have had those from the beginning?

I think, if they can get their connectivity issues solved and the game continues to grow/be profitable, they ought to bring in entire new factions. I'd love to see Indian, African and American factions. Could you imagine how cool a Jaguar Warrior would be? Or an Indian Cataphract or Punjab warrior, wielding an Urumi or Pata? Or any of the crazy African tribal weapons and warriors? Could be very interesting.

if it turns into a straight up fighting game with no backstory then it would be easy but i dont know how you can introduce new factions like that with the story line set such as it is.

new unexplored territory or invaders maybe?

Thats what I thought. I haven't played the storyline, yet, so I don't know about the whole thing. But I mean, the worlds geography is already all sorts of messed up what with Samurai hanging around.

i didnt have any lag or kicks at all.

i also like that they changed the order system up so that all orders can be done vs the AI.

yeah, we took a spanking... shame.
lets chalk it up to opening season learning curve and hit em hard second season.
i know it took me a while to figure out the war assets etc...

any idea what the rewards were for winning a season?

is there anything stopping people from just leaving the losing faction and jumping on a winning one right before the season ends? i kind of hate this possibility.

while i enjoy poking around with the vikings and samurai theres a reason that my 4 knights are the only heroes that i have over prestige level 2 and 3

As a Knight I got an emblem outline and some scavenger crates. Vikings got a bunch of exclusive ornaments. As for changing factions, if you read what it says when you go to change, changing your faction in any round of a season other than the first results in the forfeiture of all season winnings (and the current round as well I believe)

You can also change for free during the off season, which I'm really tempted to do

Please don't. That's exactly the sort of thing that ruins faction play, since it almost guarantees incredible imbalance.

Look, there's going to be more seasons, more players, all that good stuff. People will get better at the game (you, me, all us Dakkaites who're Knights) and thus help swing things back. And people will understand the War Assets thing better.

But swapping means Knights then have even less of a chance, and that's not good. It just exacerbates the situation we already had.

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?

The cost in steel of the new characters (15000, I read) is actually really annoying me. As a casual player who dips in and out of the game, it'll be months before I ever amass that much, and that's if I don't buy any weapon packs or anything for the existing classes. Yes, I could buy a Steel pack in the store to spend on them (no idea how much that'd be) but it kind of rubs me the wrong way that to actually access 'free' new content I need to either buy microtransactions or grind like hell.

I'd much rather they were just paid DLC where I pay X amount to unlock the character; same end result, but much more upfront about it.

I splurged on the season pass a while back, but I've seen all his new emotes and executions. I'm saving for those.

Seriously though, 15k is so stupid. Unlocking EVERY other hero (bar the new Shinobi) costs nowhere near that much combined

Welcome to the complaints Rainbow Six: Siege players had.

The DLC characters were 22k or 25k Renown. Most MP matches averaged out to around ~200ish Renown. You had to play Terrorist Hunt(v. AI) modes at a higher difficulty, early on, to match that amount.

And that's not even getting into the stupid high prices of the few cosmetic items(helmets and now uniforms) that were available early on when they started doing that.
