Well to try and save this thread from being derailed about stolen credit cards, has anyone had any success finding new methods of potential bot locations?

This bot needs to be able to run the new content on auto pilot or it will fail. I have made more in one day farming supply crates than I have ever made with the bot grinding out mobs. not saying anything bad about the bot but, the game has changed. if the new iteration of Buddy Wing does not allow it to farm the new content people will go back to the old fashioned way of manually grinding out daily's or just go to other games where they can make a killing bottting.

the only other way I can see Buddy Wing surviving is a stripped down Rotation handler that maximizes DPS/TPS/HPS for raids and such.

I see what you are saying, and totally agree that BWing needs to be able to handle questing and quest interact-ables (for heroic dailies) at the very least. Personally have not gotten to farming supply crates yet, but it is obvious that they've shifted majority of credit away from mobs and into more complex tasks. I disagree that this has 'killed' BW though, as even a small income via farming is better than no income.

What we are suggesting is not a new suggestion from what I understand. It is has not been a lack of desire on the dev/s to push further, it has been the difficulty of the engine they are working with as TOR has bad programming (my understanding).

The amount of credits dropped from defeated NPCs has been greatly reduced.

Since most credits in the game is accumulated from botters grinding mobs - do you guys think credits price will increase due to this?

no matter how bad a game is coded if a bot can hook, it can check for a hook and, if no hook then re-hook. even if we could add the re-check command into the profiles we could zone into the new instance or planet and force re-check the code hook.

besides the point I made earlier with the new radiant crystal gear. you should be able to grind the old areas. the level de-buff lowers gear effectiveness but it should still be the most effective gear for what ever level you are at the moment. and 2 levels/ half a dozen extra attacks to chose from and the classifiable companions (healing, tank, dps) It might be as effective now grinding mobs as it was before, maybe a new line command that allows you to select between rolls for your companion <Mob> underling pos numbers <companion roll DPS </Mob> as opposed to <Mob> boss guy pos numbers <companion roll healing> </Mob> this would give each fight the ability to maximize companion assistance in each individual fight.

[stoiansl]

i mean before they drop me like 2500 credits now they drop me max 900 and slow spawn 900 credits is luck even

Sadly no. Meshing is done on the Navserver.

The bane of buddywing. I use another bot for another game that has local navmesh and actual tools to make your own meshes. Works 100% of the time, no disconnections due to having an overloaded nav server and if for somereason you are stuck or get pushed off your nav mesh it just teleports you back to a designated teleport point. I only wish the buddy devs were not so paranoid about someone working out a way to use buddywing for 2 weeks until a patch hits and has to be updated again.
