BGs and Questing together?

[superman93]

Maybe a stupid question, but is there a way to use questing bot and bgbuddy together, so you do quests while automatically queing.. then switching to bgbuddy once your bgs pop?

Hi, Leehindle93,

That's what the MixedMode bot does. But...
its a very bad idea to used MixedMode with Questing as one of the bots. Profile writers will not support you if you have problems when running their questing profile this way.

I've tried setting it up with MixedMode and i can't seem to get it to work :/ Also, what kind of problems would i run into? Wouldn't it just continue where i left off, when i finish the bg?

I'll give you one example...
Since it will go into BGs at any point while questing, you may be in the middle of something that can't be interrupted without dropping the quest, getting it again, and starting over. That is a *lot* of work for profile writers to accommodate that, and they don't, nor should they.

There are many other failure modes like this when questing.

Oh, well I'm on my pc watching it atm, so it should be fine. I'll just stick to BGs when i go to bed as questing always seems to mess up for me when i go to bed
