Is AI getting an improvement?

I cant find a roadmap and I missed the AMA they did. Ive noticed the AI pathing is awful.

My bro and I have built a trench around our base with a few gates and bridges, and all enemies now spawn outside. We abuse they're poor AI, as they just get stuck on the edge of the trench instead of trying to go around to the bridge.

Also, Deer are easy to hunt, and other enemies are easy to Kite in combat.

I feel like improving the AI would improve the feeling PvE gives you. Right now fighting mobs feels choppy and TOO predictable.

With two atgier wielders you can kill a troll without it even getting the chance to hit.

We need Commando Fulings, they could carry ladders and build bridges to cross our Moats instead of just standing still and being killed with Arrows.
The AI definitely needs sorting out.

I totally agree, I was thinking that the mobs need more interesting movements. Watching trolls get stuck on a little rock, twitching back and forth, or seeing a deer pull a U-turn and run right at you is just not so pleasing to see.

I'd expect the troll to either just walk over the little rock, or find a way around it. Or the deer to run away in a more realistic manner.

I think there are a lot of people who would quit playing if they could not safeguard their homes. Some people spend a lot of time building places and already complain about raids and attacks.

Keep in mind that as you progress and your skills get better the earlier enemies will feel easier to kill. A troll really is a low level mini boss at best. You can't really ramp up difficulty without considering what a new character in a new world as a new player has to deal with. You may be able to kite things easily now but when you first spawn in the game your stamina is very low and the foods at that level are not great. You can manage it but the game shouldn't get harder for experienced leveled players at the expense of the new player experience.
