AI Tech

[Hacre]

I know it's been asked for before and there's a multi page thread full of bumps in the suggestions forum.

However, since we're talking about balance. Some professions need to keep AI Tech 3 perked while others don't.

My Keeper, needs perma AI Tech 3. My NT does not.

Anyone who's AI 30 shouldn't need to use AI Tech 1/2/3. They have all the AXP they can ever get. The expertise should be there.

Either make all the ATE perks green and greyed out at AI30 (so people don't suddenly get 3 extra AI perks to put somewhere else, like Solitus could have Tacky Hack and Survival as well as 2 other AI lines maxed), or have an "or Defender Rank Vindicator" or whatever on things that currently require ATE 1 2 or 3.

Gotta agree here. To be honest, I'd also most likely vote for ATE3 not being needed once a toon dings 220 - but this makes more ssnse and requires the need to actuaklly work more for it.

[BugsCoT]

I hate doing a full perk reset just for 3 lousy perks.

Bump.

[Grind42]

FC Phails...... This should have been done when LoX was released.

Holds closed nose from the really awefull smell.
Means your long standing AO players who have dinged AI 30 want this.... Speak to your Devs


PS we really dont need another 30+ page thread about the same thing.

My NT does. I try to adapt as much as i can for my fights, and keeping ai armor always on or off, does not fit with this.

I disagree it should be given as a reward at AI30. You want to be able to swap, you pay the price. And yes, having ATE3 prevent me from completing another perkline too.

Choices. God forbid them.

[Poufpaf]

Well we have yet to see the changes for genome perklines, but if the specials get balanced and interesting for every breed everyone might have a reason to get the perkline completed. Make 3 more alien levels maybe ? Will be a bit of a grind, but well when you're already AI 30 that will most make something to look forward to.

You work for it, for the right to perk it ! It's worse.

Might be better to permanently get the following:
AI Tech 1 at AI level 10 (or 20)
AI Tech 2 at AI level 20 (or 25)
AI Tech 3 at AI level 30 (or 30)

Granting a small boost but a reasonable one at every milestone as it were, while still allowing for a perk to be used to jump forward a bit at levels 1-9, levels 10-19, and levels 20-29 if people need to use the perk.

Also a neat idea.

[JustinSane4]

This is an excellent idea. Favoring professions and/or builds that do not require swapping tends to narrow the scope of them the game, whereas this seems like it would expand it and promote different set ups and perk configurations.

Besides, it seems natural from an RP standpoint that with increasing experience battling the aliens increasing familiarity with their technology would follow pretty much automatically.

[srompu]

Bump for an excellent idea.

Some people dont' bother pursuing higher AI levels because they're so dependent on armor-swapping. AI30 is hard enough to grind that there shouldn't be a problem with too many people having it. In fact, this would be more relieving a cramp than making anything unbalanced.

I hate to say it, and I'll probably get a lot of rotten tomatoes thrown at me, but AI armor is ridiculous. Even FC says they wish they never made it. And if you want to wear the most powerful/ridiculous armor in the game.. make some sacrifices.

Bump. And what if it went OE if the perks werent trained? I've always had a feeling that that was what was intended at the time - That the perks would be needed to be trained 100% of the time you are utilizing alien technology.

bump


And makeing the AI3 quest more interesting would be nice too ^^
