I hate the new purgesystem. Its no longer a purge in my eyes. Why still do they even call it that way when they allow full player control? It defeats the purpose of the purge. Old devs always said they wanted the purge to be uncontrolleable. They even would have liked to make them more dangerous. So building defenses up and using thralls to guard and protect your base is a necessity.
Purges could have been changed so players have more options like paying a bribe when the purge hits to delay it for a while. Or pay the purge regularely if you do not want to have one. There is a lot the dev´s could have done to improve the purges overall.
The new purge instead is not better then the old one. They have the same pathfinding and other problems as before. Funcom is simply hidding this by demanding a clear path for them from the player now. Otherwise the purge won´t happen. For me this has nothing to do with improving the AI, its more cheesing the AI.
And most people are not aware of it. There is no danger in the purge anymore. No challenge, nothing. Another destruction of game content.
