AI used for mobs
 

So when will AI be used for mobs and NPCs in games like EQ P99, and how cool, challenging, wild, bizarre, etc. will that be?

probably next year

or sooner if someone dumps $$ into it

but AAA game studios have their tentacles in everything and know that if they make one game too good then everything else they paid to develop will suffer so every game ends up being the same glittery garbage that they have produced every year since 2010

I think we're going to have to wait a bit right now video games are trying to figure out how to make people more open minded and body positive.

Can't you ever just keep things to discussing EQ

hard to do when every single second of media is designed to steer your thoughts and reprogram your mind

you either subconsciously accept and become a mindless tech zombie always parroting the latest narrative or you develop an automatic resistance reflex hyper vigilant for the next philosophical attack

Or you consciously recognize it for what it is and filter appropriately. Most people can't do this.

maybe you can? Idk it seems like this sort of subliminal messaging is cancerous and that it infects and then grows insidiously anywhere it can latch onto

it wasn't so bad back in the day when screens didn't dominate our lives, but these days even the app you use to clock in for work is designed by or with assistance from behavioral psychiatrists to modify your actions through social engineering

thank you sire. may i have another?

Never for a game like EQ. I can think of a plethora of ways which you could exploit this to get phat lewtz.

I think they meant AI powered mobs and zones

so that it's never the same zone twice, AI mobs can out-think you. AI quest NPCs can generate a different quest for every user. The whole world is dynamic and impossible to wikify

It's literally The Matrix with elves
