Curious about bounty changes in 2.1.2 and bounty profile

I am unsure if any more work has been put into the bounty scripts for a1-5. I know A4 is the go-to bounty profile that works with basically 100% uptime no fail, and Act 1 can be done with a activity timer set and work pretty well roughly 75% ide say? I saw in the 2.1.2 notes they are changing some bounties, a few are A1. Will this make it any easier to make a 100% afkable A1 profile, Or are there mechanics with certain bounties that are just horrible/impossible to do which causes lots of bugs?

The main reason I ask is because A1 is for royal rings, So having a 100% or less buggier version obviously would be huge(I admit I pulled almost all my items from a4 bot caches since it drops all acts, but I did my fair share of A1 bounty botting) There are minor bugs, and major bugs. The inactivity timer fixes the major ones(like queen bounty, where it will run the same 20 yards of map til timer is tripped). The last thing I remember the dev of the profile saying was something along the lines of a1 bounties literally are annoying as hell compared to easier ones in A4, and there are A LOT more complicated bounties then slay this boss and kill X amount of mobs.

The following events have received several changes, including changes to their completion requirements

A Miner's Gold
The Jar of Souls
The Matriarch's Bones
The Miser's Will
The Scavenged Scabbard

I assume the above changes will break the current A1 bounty profile unless fixed? Also I didn't want to make a thread solely for this, but thank you nesox and rest of buddy team for getting DB crash issue resolved.
 
You can make act 1 100% afkable by blacklisting a few of the bountys that never work, forgot the place I found how to do that, but it's around in a thread somewhere. you just have to copy/paste a few lines into one of the scripts, search around for it.

It'l make it just quit the game and restart after reading the bounties and finding one of the blacklisted ones.
 
I'm pretty sure you're wrong @Syn-Ack, those bounties were disabled in 2.1.1, now they're coming back in 2.1.2. There are plenty of profiles here that do those bounties. Now this obviously depends on how much they were changed but if they're the same style then no.
 
Hm you are probably right, I ran some A1 bounty botting the other day and now that I think of it I never saw scabbard or jar of souls or matriach bones. HOWEVER the miners gold with the 2 veins of ore is still in. So its possible they removed certain ones only, while leaving others in.

Also @ making a 100% afkable one, yes I need to find the list again. It was something simple like just adding a blacklist to any games with certain bounties like queen arach and the stranger, and like one or two others that could either bug out or have lot of trouble with. Could have sworn I did that myself, Because I know I blacklisted my act4 bounty profile from any diablo games(sped it up quite a bit) just taking the questID and copy pasting from the same thread. I will search for it, but if anyone has a link or the codes to add to the specific file they can post here please by all means
 
These bounties are still all active, just ran them all. Have not done them on the PTR, but the slightest change will break the current profiles I assume.
 
Tenshin's Blacklist


demonb...ml#post1554349

Tenship has identified a list of problem quests, visit the above URL for instructions, or insert the code below into your Acts\A1Act1.xml file at the top after the ORDER tag. What this does is quit the game and restart if any of the bounties on the list are detected, so as to only complete a set of bounties that have a high likelihood to succeed.

Code:
<!-- Tenshins Bounty Blacklist --> <If condition="HasQuest(345546) or HasQuest(349020) or HasQuest(345520) or HasQuest(345528) or HasQuest(344497) or HasQuest(344490) or HasQuest(344501) or HasQuest(344503) or HasQuest(344499) or HasQuest(361334) or HasQuest(344488) or HasQuest(344482) or HasQuest(347027) or HasQuest(345505) or HasQuest(365381) or HasQuest(365401) or HasQuest(347030) or HasQuest(375201) or HasQuest(369789)">
<LeaveGame quest="1" step="1" reason="Stranger in Need/Crumbling tower skip." stayInParty="False" />
</If>

Think it might be that for the blacklisting of specific bountys

Appreciate it, will give it a shot. If the next patch does in fact break the current a1 bounty profile, I need to run a ton of cache runs for some str royal rings atm just in case. I will insert this code and see how it goes. IIRC it skips queen, stranger crumboling tower and like 1 or 2 more.
