fxluk Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Hi, I have never finished POE because combat, for me was a disaster. I saw some positive changes in patch 2.0 and I was wondering how does it look like now? Is enemy AI improved? Solo stealth working correctly? I saw somewhere that resistances/immunities were added, is this true? Is engagement system still so broken so it only emphasize standing in choke points and tank&spank? Any other important changes? Should I wait more for balancing the game further?
Gfted1 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Ive read that the AI will now completely disregard engagement and make a beeline for your backrow, even regardless of disengagement attacks, so you dont have to worry about tank-n-spank anymore. Also some ability that allows them to vault directly to backrow party members AND knock prone whoever was in between. Sounds more challenging.

Torm51 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 They don't ignore disengagement. If it sees that your accuracy/damage sucks they will ignore your engagement. So 2 Might Orlan tanks are worthless and your frontline fighters must be more balanced. Defensive but have Alpha Strike capability so that when the enemies get by them they can contribute to the punishing of and focus fire of the offender. It is very playable but 2.01 has been a VERY bad patch. The only bad one in my opinion. lots of bugs. Have gun will travel.
Killyox Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 They never disengage my barb and monk because otherwise they get brutalized. Sometimes they may ignore pallegina but she also hits hard. Tbh I am not bothered if they beeline for my wizard or anything. Million counters to that. 1
Tigranes Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Enemy AI seems to have taken on a few new tricks, and they are especially now willing to take disengagement hits when they see your engagers have crappy accuracy/damage. Solo stealth works fine. White March appears to have better encounter design than base game. As for whether this is enough for you, who can say? 1 Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
fxluk Posted September 14, 2015 Author Posted September 14, 2015 Changes are looking nice. It seems that I have to check it for myself. Thank you all for input.
