Hi all!
I thought it'd be worth compiling my experience of the bot so far, I bought a 30 day key and I will update the thread over the remaining days.
I have managed to gain a total of 2 levels across all of my characters, the reason for this is if there isn't an issue with the bot, there is most likely an issue with the provided combat routine. If there isn't a problem with the combat routine, the questing profile has probably caused an issue, the questing profile can be put aside as generated content and down to issues specifically related to that instead of the bot.
I'm a little disappointed to say the least, I have a lifetime pass of HonorBuddy and I was expecting a little more 'polish' considering how long it was delayed, I remembered the posts mentioning it would be released back earlier in the year so my assumption was it was being actively developed/tested.
Here's my main issue - if you ran this from the starting position of either of the main factions, you would instantly encounter issues with the bot. The bot gets stuck in the exile starting area, it is unable to attack enemies for the most part with the omnibus routine and the nav server seems to be extremely unstable. These sorts of things surely would be picked up with a simple 5 minute test?
I'd be slightly less annoyed with bugs that would otherwise require a larger amount of testing e.g. long run times or specific new quests being introduced. What I would expect is something as silly as the bot getting into an exception loop because it navigated onto the top of a table and doesn't understand how to get down from it. Likewise I wouldn't expect the bot to be unable deal with a level one character.
I will most likely not be renewing my key after it runs the 30 days, please don't see this as a spiteful rant or anything, sure I mentioned that I am disappointed but that would be a given coming from HonorBuddy which we all see as a pretty sweet product. This to me just feels extremely unfinished and pretty much unusable (I'd love to speak to anyone that has been able to run this for more than an hour without constant supervision).
Like I mentioned before, I'll update this as things change to better reflect the state of the bot.
