Summary:
Mob AI keeps pausing while trying to attack player in Mutant Battle Arena
Impact:
Bad player experience, and unintended difficulty changes. AI not acting like it used to cause inconsistency between versions and the pausing makes the mobs significantly easier. Part of the challenge of the arena is the difficulty.
Repro Steps:
- Download Mutant Battle Arena from the Marketplace
- Start Rush mode, equip up
- While it is shown on all the mobs, it's easiest to see on the mutant ocelot and zombie because they're slower.
Observed Results:
The mobs keep stopping on the way to the target. Pausing periodically even though there is nothing in the way and they did not yet reach the target to attack.
Expected Results:
These particular mobs (the first batch at least) have nothing in their behaviors that force it to path differently other than to simply chase the target. at least until they hit them.
You can see in this video of that being the case, the zombie rarely stops.
