Dear devs, please fix your cheating AI on console

@UKresistance

Which console dev actually codes the console ai?

For the 2.1.5 update with Gem Preferences to the Console AI, that would be me.

If the AI’s behavior in these different modes are what I consider to be OK for me then why it’s so different in PvP (ranked)?

There should only be 2 differences between the AI in Ranked PvP and all other game modes, but in all other cases be the exact same.

1. Playing on Normal difficulty does affect the “luck” the AI will get, in which it enables what is generally called “Combo Breaker”. The AI will also be a bit more random with it’s decisions on Normal difficulty as well. These changes are always disabled in Ranked PvP, as you are unable to select a difficulty.

2. Gem Preferences. Players can influence their AI for gem matches in Ranked PvP. This is were the AI will now no longer be baited for Skulls if the Defending player modified the slider to give it a lower preference. This means that the AI will, in general, act closer to that human player.

Stop lying to your players; stop making excuses and start fixing the problems and make the game more balanced before you begin losing your player base.

If it helps, we do take these claims seriously and are currently investigating.
