In your opinion, what should the devs priorities be when working on HB?

[wtg001]

I feel as though I am being misunderstood / misquoted here. I mean no underhanded malice toward the devs, the do what they have to do. This is more an exercise for me to understand what it is exactly people want should I decide to develop a plugin / profile / routine. Plus I am curious as to the prioritization process used buy the buddy team.

So those of you who were having a go at me for this thread, put your fedoras back on and go trim those neckbeards.

Features have always less priority than bugs, bugs have less priority than broken things

And your post was going so well too This part in particular i take a small bit of offense to "Features have always less priority than bugs" mainly the whole making sure there was flying in outland before pathing issues etc. were/are fixed. There were also plugins available to fly you to repair etc. but the community bitched and moaned about wanting to fly everywhere so that got worked on rather than pathing issues fixed.

Not to say pathing issues weren't being worked on and improved, as they obviously were and still are, but the DEVs capitulated to the demands of the community rather than spending time on what they should have known was right. Dungeonbuddy while a nice addition came before pathing security and questing, which again was also a nice addition, fixes. And then we have BGbuddy...which has seen much love over the years, as it should seeing as the name of the bot is HONORbuddy but no where near bug free

I'd vote for changing the Click to Move system, but i don't see it on the list.. You can spot a bot 100 yards away because of it.

Not always... and the navigation continues to be improved, I do agree that it is often noticeable and even more so if it gets into one of those death spins.

I see what you mean and I don't disagree, however no community = no business = no bot. The same can be said of devs so it is a paradox. I can't think of another software company that take the attitude of 'to hell with what the community thinks, I do what I want' and ended up successful. There was a small game dev company here in Australia where the manager had that approach and they didn't last. I am not however implying the same of Honorbuddy, it is mealy simple project management. Identify the stakeholders and gather the requirements then produce the product. It's not really rocket surgery.

Example one of everyone else thinking in the box, and one person thinking out of the box, Steve Jobs. Honestly, most people don't know what they want until someone tells them what they want!

If it weren't for the few not following the rest of the cows in the herd, nothing you know would exist.

PVP because a bot called Honorbuddy that has a 98% disconnect rate in PVP doesn't make sense.

I can't see the poll for some reason on my phone but I would like to see more focus on questing since leveling toons is what I mainly use the bot for. Working on getting my 6th toon to 90 atm. I have a good idea of where the bot will get stuck and what quests it will have trouble with so I shuffle between questing, dungeonbuddy and bgbuddy to get to 90. Also change it up depending on how long I'll be afk. I feel like I'm getting my moneys with atm but I'm always happy to see improvements where questing is concerned.

PVP is the only thing that I, and many others, can run all night and still have it running in the morning, 8 hours later.

Your number seems to be quite off there.

Yeah... Too bad you *are* actually one of the cows in the herd that thinks Steve Jobs ever did anything revolutionary...... Sorry for you, really....

Anyway... On topic:
The Dev Team should work on whatever they think is best for the value of their product, based on return on investment. If they don't, they're doomed to failure.
Now read that line again and realise that "Value" does not equal "Money".
Now read that line again and realise that "return on investment" is not based solely on cost.

jealously due to my recent experiences.

Come to realize there's to much going on. Cant improve questing, dungeons, etc when the bot itself needs work. Sure a profile can be flawless but when sending mail or something as simple as movement is bugged the bot bases make no difference.

 

[daarno]

Get rid of the grinding behavior in questing mode, whereby the toon attacks everything that is remotely in its path. It makes leveling up last much longer that it should.

 

[Clearcut]

I think before SOO is even looked into, being able to run every 90 heroic without too many issues should be the #1 priority.

why dont we see Tripwire on the poll. single most efficient, necessary item on the agenda.

if the EYE OF SAURON can see me, I want HB to shit itself and shutdown immediately.

Very good job to the devs on responding in this thread, we like to hear from you once in a while.

Yeah that's what I expected to see on the Poll... I'm happy with HonorBuddy exactly the way it is as long as it stays secure and TripWire alert to Blizzard's attempts to detect us!

+1 TripWire
