    About this "new legendary AI" in legendary strongholds

    "A new, elite sub-faction of the Black Tusk will be sure to keep you on your toes through a new legendary AI."

    This is what we are being told in the warlords of NY description. After playing a few legendary matches, i have to wander where is that new AI the developers are talking about. In my experience the "new, elite sub-faction of the Black Tusk" is nothing more than the same enemies, painted white and many, many, many times sponggier than even in the raid. I am all in for high difficulty content but i think you (the developers) need to work on ways of bringing such content without relying only on extreme enemy health numbers and extreme damage output. Three full dps rifle guys shooting at a blinded boomer for half a minute and not dropping him doesn't make sense.
    I am sure we will do it eventually, we did 2/3 of district union on our second try. However the reason i am writting this is not because it's hard BUT because it isn't fun. The only method is CC, fall back and keep shooting drom a distance until at some point they fall. And again. And again. Until you make one mistake and Ooops, back at the beggining.
    I didn't enjoy this and if i manage one completion for the sake of doing it, i will not go back to playing it again.
    I hope you find ways to inject fun into this content because right now it feels more like hardship and less like playing.

    P.S. This is not meant as an excuse for those who used the damage glitch. I am 100% against that, no matter the content. Cheating in multiplayer games simply is unacceptable.

    Nope. Old A.I.
    Just a larger sponge to clean up with.

    They do have new tricks like drone opeartors (who have the rush simbol) who don't need to expose themselves and throw theri drone far away before sending them to you without exposing themsevles with no cooldown, so they can freely stunlock you with explosions

    District is the only one I have completed, haven't tried Roosevelt though.

    District is like you say, CC, mostly retreat and keep shooting, sometimes from door ways. Only bit that was good was the first section and final section. If you do get to the final section its best to go into the main room and split up, get in behind them etc. as the first times we tried we didn't dare leave gate door but here they just eventually over power you, once we decided to go aggressive a into the room it was actually far more fun and we did it.

    Capitol is more fun, again at the start as its outside, didn't get past the room before you go outside though as a medic placed a healer up out where the black tusk fraction box is, just kept healing npc's up on the balcony and no skill could reach it and running for it was instant death trying to climb the ladder.

    I dont actually think the NPC's are that spongy, its the skills they use, especially if you cant contain them or destroy early, or they are deployed in impossible areas.

    We had loads of healing stations in the hall with EMP but its possible to get upstairs without getting killed to deal with them, other area was impossible that time.

    Pretty tough and like you say not enjoyable in parts.

    Lol.

    AI = set cool down to 0.

    Hope they got a promotion for the cost savings that design solution saved the company. Woulda taken weeks to code something real.

    If that's not an office hero. I don't know what is.

    I was truly excited when they made those statements. Oh how fooled we've been.
