Ski Edit: As many of you have asked, the April 26th release had to be delayed due to some stability issues. Stay tuned for more info.
As you all probably noticed, we have been very quiet about the set of upgrades we have called HB2.
A few weeks ago, it looked like we were ready to release a preview. However, the "small" bugs that we needed to fix were not small, the PVP changes in patch 3.3.3a have taken a lot of coding to build in and generally the releases have been delayed.
The four main changes we are working on are:
1. A vastly improved navigation system that doesn't require you to record a navigation mesh.
2. PVP support of random battlegrounds including intelligent Strand of the Ancients and Isle of Conquest logic.
3. An improved plugin system so we can create an app store selling features like Gatherbuddy integrated into Honorbuddy.
4. Questing.
Our current status:
Navigation works most of the time but has some issues on long trips, say from Booty Bay to Light's Hope Chapel. Toons in Northrend that need to move from Dragonblight to Sholazar Basin at level 75 fail to make the journey. Main has worked out how to fix this but it will take some time to implement and test.
Strand of the Ancients, Isle of Conquest and Random Battlegrounds all need a few small changes but are ready.
The paid plugin system is on hold until all the other elements are in and working.
Questing is not working. The bot picks up quests and hands in quests but it needs navigation working perfectly to do the quests correctly.
Our release schedule:
Monday April 19th - PVP release that supports all battlegrounds and supports random battlegrounds. This will use the new navigation system so it will work as a levelbot 99% of the time.
Monday April 26th - full release of navigation. This release will have all the existing Honorbuddy profiles supported and making new profiles will be a cinch.
Monday May 10th - questing. The current design is that if you enable questing, the bot will automatically pick up quests and go do them. Profiles will need to be adapted to list quests you do NOT want it to take.
Monday May 31 - paid plugins.
This is a significant set of changes all of which will have issues. There will likely be lots of releases with bug fixes in between the dates above as we fix the problems that you find. But, its fair to say the bot will be technically great and a pleasure to use by the time we are done. Thanks for your patience and for the future bug reports.
EDIT 1 - pyromess pointed out I had a date wrong :S Fixed.
