Titan AI

[nakano]

I think most folks who run the robot regularly have noticed a change(read borking) of the Titan's AI.

Its taking about 5-7 minutes to move him into the first firing position with a full party on elite. Which sucks.

Last night we took a 7 level 9-13s(average 11) through there for the first time on normal and he was perfectly behaved. This has me wondering if:

1) His AI only truly sucks on elite.
2) Or that more people confuse his AI.

Gonna test theory number two tonight. I will report back tomorrow.

You know the other difference we had last night was that we didn't have anyone up on top for a free-safety..

[nakano]

Yah we did bro. That was me. Though I spent the whole time taking down the tops. I guess my +2 acid dagger of pure good does not really make the grade though. That took forever.

[Eldamir]

better than the +1 wounding dagger i was carrying :D

[nakano]

ROFLMAO. True. And to think that I transferred that dag from Hem cause it was easier than carrying arrows. ;)

Kethrey 11 bard/sorc
Julez 11 cleric/ftr
Warchantress 14 bard/ftr/sorc
Skitty 9 rog/wizzy

I have to be out of here at 12 am for work - otherwise I'm game

Is that walking him down the sides or the middle...n an elite run I was on last week...we walked him down the middle after he wouldnt move to the corners...seemed to go a bit faster

[nakano]

We traditionally use the banner corners, though last week after waiting 7 minutes to move into the first position and going 2/2, we tried moving him to the second position. After 5-6 minutes of getting hammered we moved him to the center and went 4/4.

Last night though he went to the banners no issue.

Weird behavior is the norm for the titan, but this was night and day. It was simply too different. I am wondering seriously if the devs did not make his AI more disagreeable on higher difficulties. If so despite the PITA factor that is cool. Aside from the undocumented change factor of course.

[Tiblorian]

I always remembered more people confused him more(which makes sense if he randomly switches aggro). Though, I really wouldn't put it past him to have aggro problems, because, he has a history of bugs, to say the least.

There's a good discussion going on about this over at the DDO boards (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=144614) .. might be worth trying a few new things the next couple of times in..
