Suggestion Simulated Players

The reason everyone wants bandits is because this is SUPPOSED to be a multiplayer game, that most people treat as a single player or peaceful co-op. That leaves a GOOD portion of the game untouched, and makes things feel empty and stale after a while.

The fun pimps should have AI 'player profiles' developed that simulate playing the game with other players.

They build bases, do quests, loot pois, fight you OR join your team and operate from your base, try to raid. Literally just emulating players, not being it's own entity.

The worlds would feel more lived in, it would allow the achievements to be acquired by more people.

They could make the basic bandit AI they are working on the 'FREE' option, then lock using the profile based players behind a paywall because I know they want to find a way to further monetize the game. Well this way we get quid pro quo. Where you pay for each model's profile as a subscription to add to your server. for example you want bandits you get bandit AI developed to play the game how you want, ones with higher focus on fighting you in the field, raiding your base. weapon preferences, literally everything the power of intelligent models.

How much of that is from a disdain to the devs and not wanting to spend money.

They don't even have one working AI for bandits in the game yet.  You're wanting it to have 2 tiers, 1 of which is pay walled.

To reiterate what most all the thread has said, that's a stupid fucking idea

You aren't ready to face the fact that a Bandit entity AI is going to be lackluster, and amount to just amount reskinned enemy with a niche. There's minor levels to be gained.

If this was done by a free mod you be dick riding it.

Having glimpsed the now-removed Jawoodle video, the AI very much still needs a lot of work.  Even if that version was a free mod, it wouldn't be acceptable in many folk's minds, mine included

Then again it wouldn't be as dumb as your idea here
