TLDR: Master levelling integration is needed and it only needs to be a couple of quests each master to be
viable. How can we as a community get this into a dev cycle for EB integration?
Slight necro of thread, but it is the most recent master's discussion and I don't want to make 'yet another master' thread.
I doubt that low lvl masters is a red flag. Many people dont give a fuck about them.
by itself it's not a definite 'botter' flag, but it is an obvious sign and with a few other potential flags does narrow it down a lot. I make sure on every new league to hand-play the first char and get a few levels on the masters and at minimum get a hideout. I fucking hate the fact that each new league means regrinding master levels and would buy an expensive supporter pack if it meant having master levels/hideouts ported into new leagues. Yes there are master groups, how many of you join them though on your bot acct? I avoid external contact altogether so zero chance of being caught out (had it happen once).
And from coding point, only Vorici seems (nearly) impossible to make.
I've said in the past, the easiest way around this is to only code certain quests. We do not need every single quest coded,
only 2-3 'easy' ones per master. As an example, when the bot finds a master with a quest that is not coded, it skips/declines it, otherwise it would do it. It's certainly not the fastest way to level masters, but over time, you will slowly level each master which is all that is needed. Would make currency farming that much more lucrative in new leagues as you would have access to crafting on which ever bot acct you enabled it. Even Vorici has at least 1 quest that is simply 'go kill this guy' or 'free the muggle' which is a simple case of go kill.
What I'd seriously like to ask is what we can do (as the community) to get something in production? I'm sure most of the well known dev's are busy with their projects, but is there some way to officially flag this as 'we really want this feature even if it is just a lite version to start with'? Serious question: What can we do get this project started? I'd almost be willing to fund someone to make one, but the problem with private stuff like this is the constant need for updating as the game changes. Better to have something official or community orientated that gets updated regularly for everyone.
