Hey community!
I'm a long-time casual (i.e. one account and perhaps a few hours a day or every other day). The purpose of this thread is to get some discussion going regarding battlegrounds as it seems that, although Honorbuddy works quite well at getting you INTO the BG and KEEPING you in the BG, the logic that guides its decisions when IN a BG seems very "botlike". Often when I bot, I am at the keys and watching while doing other things. I can't help but notice many of the following things (just as examples):
1) Taking the water route out of the Horde base in Twin Peaks, mounting while in the water and then riding your mount literally across the span of the entire lake.
2) Dismounting 30-40 yards away from enemy players that are mounted and then running after them on foot while they are running away from me without any concern (I have "Target Mounted Players" unchecked yet it still targets them from time to time).
3) Randomly doing little pathing "circles" while mounted wherein the bot will rapidly move my toon in a tight circle before proceeding along a more linear path again (I have "Use Experimental Path Following" unchecked)
4) Engaging in battles not in any way relevant to the BG's objective (i.e. In Twin Peaks earlier today we had a stalemate going wherein we had each others' flag. The bot properly navigated me into the opposition's base where they were holding our flag, entered the flag room where they were holding it but then left the flag room because no one was within 40 yards of my entry point to the room. My toon then engaged in a 1v1 battle outside the keep with a random enemy player).
5) Along a similar line of thought to 4 above, engaging in battles not only unrelated to the BG's objective but in battles that are illogical (i.e. I just watched my bot attack some random DPS target while right next to the flag carrier and a healer in Twin Peaks).
Now I understand fully the intent here is not for the bot to play the game as effectively as I might do so when playing myself but many of these decisions the bot makes seem fixable. As such, I've started this thread to reach out to the community on your thoughts regarding BG intelligence within Honorbuddy, ways to improve the bot's intelligence today (as in using the Honorbuddy we have presently - tweaks, settings, CC configuration, etc) and ways to improve the bot's BG intelligence in the future.
Thanks!
