Curious on feedback. Got the idea from misreading a postby griffon.

Target is the new low lvl uber content. Maybe low lvl roamers also.

Flex ai concept.

Higher your lvl higher their 1. Lvl (so xp also) and 2. Difficulty (dps and Resists I recommend as the increasing values) to...,

to a cap amt in lvl only so a bored uber can have fun getting his butt kicked by a low lvl crazy uber- no uber drops or creds etc.

Also this has a huge incentive to create new uber feedback and content (pretesting with an actual in game use) essentially giving ss ready made ubers or even guards

AND to prevent the retarded mindless ease on at least 'flex ai' to mc lvl alts.

Basically, a few ubers that are based on the player's stats, rather than being a set uber. Sounds fun, but would be heavy annoying to code.

Best be Instanced ubers to prevent a high level engaging it a few minutes before real low levels attempt it. You'd freak if Emp was a level 25 roaming zebucart AI too.

Nah, I think given current code it might be easy.

Instancing solves many issues with coding.

Flexible difficulty should be very easy to preset given an instanced warp because squad is predetermined so no calculating on first shot but on warping in. Ai can have preset difficulty and lvl there so no tweaking xp code, simply coding for a flex ai uber variable.

For difficulty flex that should be very easy to program. It would be ai lvl dependent still which is determined by squad strength. The hard part is merely creativity in variables, game knowledge, and then testing.

I meant difficulty coding for a roaming ai, as in the start post.

Roamer would suck to code.

Instance. Gate location moves require a server restart or a uni reset iirc.

I think if such a thing were used as more than a gimmick, it would break the fundamental gameplay balance of a RPG.

In RPG's, if you're good, you can constantly fight stuff above your level and advance more quickly. If you're average, you can fight things of your level. If you're "casual", then you can just keep grinding at stuff below your level until you are good enough to fight higher stuff.

How would it break setups? It's just ONE Uber. Surely something like the Beta Monster isn't required to get any t20 skills?

And if im Great i abuse Shm Exp and dont even kill shits to lvl?

And as I said "if such a thing were used as more than a gimmick" -- if we're talking about just 1-2 AI, it's not worth the time it would take to make such a thing.

Levelled AI are common in Single player RPGs. Could be cool to implement in some instances or add Perilous AI.
