I'm just saying, having to add AI to your games because you expect your game to be dead in 5 years sounds a little depressing

Didn't they mention that they were thinking of adding AI attackers, where the empires would have to fight off AI together, like some massive game of Left4Dead? Occasional attacks by wave after wave of aliens/monsters etc.

I certainly wouldn't want to see AI players for a long, long time.

Planetside2, zombie mode. Awesome!

I'd absolutely love some nightmarish netherworld in which AI zombies roam looking for Vanu blood - as an zingy garnish to the PVP meat in the sandwich, of course.

Yes because adding AI will keep the pops up.

How can you possibly have so much gore in one post?

Though I do not support AI events. I mean, I want them, but for the sake of the game they should not be included.

I smell alien invasions. Perhaps they are thinking about this for short term live events. So they wouldn't always be happening, just on occasion to shake up the play field a bit.

the second they implement AI im out....sorry but i want pvp only

Hopefully they don't mean humanoid AI, but anyway I'd have to see how it turns out. In 5 years computers will be faster and their servers will be faster. Anything is possible.

The AI would BE the pop. I know there have been times in recent years where I have longed for AI soldiers just to get the feel of the massive battles of the good old days.

I've said it in other threads, I'd actually like to see AI in special events like a Starship Troopers bug swarm, or massive roaming giants, etc. etc. But I'd be real skeptical of full time AI soldiers in a game that prides itself on being 100% PvP

AI...? Interesting... I guess I'll withhold comment until I see implimentation plans. It may or may not (based on exploitation potential) fix some of the Planetside deterioration...

On the other hand it may hasten it.

There're three tweets. The latest claims there will be.

Though we don't know much about it, I don't like the idea of AI unless it's like, in the form of actual "drone" units that you deploy. But if it's like, AI soldiers, that seems like a worrisome idea to me.

Just my first impression; the game is going to be amazing regardless :-)
