Change NPC AI in PVE
« on: April 07, 2014, 12:49:51 am »
Just saw a few mercenaries ignore 5-6 hostile NPCs and went straight for me the PC.

This may have been intended but what happened was that they walked into a group of Hubologists and got GIbbed by nades and SMG's.

I didn't even have to move and got to loot a few of the bodies myself.

When there are multiple hostile groups sometimes they both run towards the PC which is cool with me.

This may be a bug but it seems like they're coded to go for the PC more often than other NPC's, This AI can be exploited when there are both hostile and friendlies on a map by just moving in a circle and letting the NPC's do the work. I've even exploited this on RT before so its no a TB only "exploit".

No, who they go for is pretty random. You've just got bad luck. :-\
Sometimes, if you hurt them RIGHT AWAY, they decide you're not "worth it" anymore and go after the other NPC's. Not always, but sometimes.

Still it'd make more sense if they went for the closest hostile that's shooting at them instead of being random.
