PGI has...AI mechs...that fight independently...and..kill...

Oh. Oh God.

OH HELL NO



NOPE



NOPE NOPE NOPE

That's it, I'm done. I can put up with dakkawolves, wubshees, PPCbolts and whatever else the meta can throw, but I draw the line at PGI revealing they have a Mass Production Series. You madmen! They will feast on our flesh! D:

Hey guys, I am on the QA team from Piranha. We kinda accidently launched our test lab full of PCs into a public match today (something we definitely shouldn’t do as you can tell). This test lab is meant for internal use only and it won’t happen again.

It was not suicidal hackers looking for attention, it was not someone filming a stunt video, it was us, and we are sorry.

Be honest, it was testing for AI wasn't it?

Sometimes their playing is working! or was it their work is playing. Or was it playing at work is sometimes!

They must be using the old "Imperial Stormtrooper" AI then, as effective as it apparently was.

Could have also been Steering-Wheel Underhive AI.

Hopefully this means they are working on AI for single player and cooperative PVE.

Interesting that sync-drop-wise almost completely the Assaults got on the same team and the Mediums/Heavy got on the other team... 3-3-3-3 ownage?

Mudhut, the floor is yours...

I witnessed a different instance of this happening. I just assumed someone was testing a bot or something because all the mechs tried to walk out of bounds, or found a corner. Then all of them disconnected at exactly the same time.

Hard to tell the difference between AI and players at that level....

LMAO! This thread made my day, especially the comments from Alex. Fantastic stuff. This brings me back to the days of the Playfast bots from open Beta. It was always fun to see one walking into a wall shooting until overheat.

Let's be real, PGI - you guys took the bane of MWO at the time (afk c-bill farmers) and are now turning it into a force for good, yes? Brilliant! I will drop against the new and improved Playfasts anytime you want a tester. I suggest giving them warhorns that say, "Danger! Danger Hanse Davion!" in the "Lost in Space" robot voice.

I want to see pictures of the test lab. Some IT porn to go with the mech porn. Just hide all the wall porn before you take a pic!
