At this point, why run with followers? Your chance of success would be higher and your run less toxic with real players.
Thats such a weird conclusion to draw from that statement.

There is no need to perfectly recreate what players with other players is like. In fact with two different sets of players you don’t get that exact recreation.
You can use stats to adjust the followers to be similar to the player. That is pretty much what Brann and the Dinos are doing in Delves already.

Either the bots work correctly and they carry or they are programmed to fail and are worthless. I don’t see the chance of a middle ground.
The stats arent the issue.
Its their gameplay.
I believe it can be done. You collect stats on the player’s level, gear and what the player is doing and adjust the followers accordingly.
This is not all that different from what Brann and the Dinos are already doing in Delves.
What stats? What stats on “what the player is doing” would have the followers be adjusted?
its very different because delves are mechanically simple. And despite how simple delves are, mechanically…
Brann is still a huge liability. The only thing that makes it work is because how easy delves are.
Yeah but the difference is delves are very simple and designed to be solo content. My point is that if you make it so that “Follower M+” performs better than M+, you have a serious problem because you just killed the most popular social group content in the game.
And if the bots are underperforming, then the same crowd is still going to be upset.
But all of that ignores what a terrible idea this is more broadly.
Collect stats on what I do? I only play this rogue. How will the AI compensate as a tank or a healer? How does the other DPS handle situations I would cloak in? How does the group handle scenarios I would stun lock in? What data does that provide that helps the other members of the group? I am useless with any affix that needs to be dispelled, am I screwed for that week?

Apparently the AI will just waves hand magically play the tank at the same competency as you play your rogue.
Whatever that means.

So bad played get stuck in bad groups and good players get elite groups.
I don’t foresee any complaints with that.
I would be onboard if every run was recorded and could be viewed.

so many goblins in this thread.
did i just stumble into kezak?
Other players being present is part of the difficulty. Take that away and design for it and most things become trivial to a competent player.

I don’t understand what the issue is with other players, except they can’t be “trusted” with difficult content.
It honestly sounds like OP wants to play a single player game, or one of those older Final Fantasy games where you manage your party and they take turns hitting the enemies in combat.
as is fitting. the most superior race.
thats where your
Sounds like you got some bad PuG experiences.
