I wish I was recording it, but I was watching directly and saw it plain as day. The AI had a potential 4-match of reds that it could have done, but it took a 3 match of green and consequently passed the turn. I immediately took the 4 match just to make sure that it was actually there and I wasn’t insane. ---

Al will often pass on 4 match if that color is frozen for its team. ---

Ah, thanks for that. Well the top troop was frozen yes. However I have never seen that before, ever, and I have something like 1,300+ hours in game. ---

This happens incredibly often with the console AI, regardless of any frozen effects. ---

Well I’ve been here for 400+ days 😛 And while I was using mab (pre impervious got immune to her damage for God knows what reason) AI would often skip the 4 match if he couldn’t get the extra turn. I was shocked when I saw it the first time too xD ---

400 days, well you got me beat! I think I only have about 6 months. Funny that I’m so far ahead of you given this discrepancy 😉 lmao 😂 ---

Far ahead in level? You can’t imagine how much more exp we get now compared to what we used to. Or you mean something else? ---

On console, not only will AI forgo 4 match, it will forgo 4 match in a color it 3 matches. Also, will 3 match the same match it could get a 4 with _in the same set of gems_. Console also frequently will not touch skulls in favor of colors that i need. Console AI is wicked non-I. ---

With all that AI nonsense on console, it seems like real people. It also makes games more fun, because you can’t n always bait out skulls 🙂 ---

Yeah its interesting. Because the lifelong bug(s) on the console AI altering the 100% predictable patterns just a bit its far more enjoyable to play against. In many was harder because you can’t consistently bait Skulls for easy wins. ---

Console AI is unfortunately still predictable. From what I can tell it does not look at the board state created by the player. Instead looking at the state of the board a move before. It will only readjust to the newest state after it makes a match or if none of the previous options are still valid. This means it will automatically ignore all skills and 4 drops that formed during the last post by the player.
