[rytmy]

yes today is a 3rd day

Ok... the way i see it, there's no problem in waiting... I mean, this last month, few people are playing the game. My guild cancelled the raids, and so did most of the guilds. So, it's waaaay better to wait now, and have everything ready when MoP launches. This is at least what i think.

that first already, wow how times flys.

 

[NEwboy]

it makes me laugh the amount of people moaning about not being a quick release, seriously give the guys a chance! such a large patch, new talents, new spells etc etc takes of new code, editing blah blah! the guys predicted a week, give them a week, give them longer ffs, id rather a solid bot that some glitchy shit that gives us more chance of being banned!

hell, glider used to go down every fucking time there was a patch, on the larger patches it was down for up to 3weeks! and that was one of the largest, if not largest bots the game has ever seen!

enjoy the patch, actually learn to play your class, and please guys, take your time!

Yeh people prefer a ban in a day with a not finished and save bot like honnorbuddy it make me laugh just be patience they will bring a epic update to the bot like always

While personally, I'm not one for all the bashing people are doing to the staff here, I can't (and won't) shut them out.

We could have had a head start with updating during the beta, however we had been working on DB far more than we expected. Admittedly, we did enough updating during the beta to give us a pretty good idea of what we'd be looking at to update. We estimated about 2-3 days. Once we started getting into it, it turns out we were terribly wrong about that prediction. Blizz has done a lot of work this expansion, most of it is just changing a few things around, etc. I can say, 99% of this expansion, is content. Not much has actually changed in the game engine itself. However, what has changed is some of the stuff that we spent weeks (or months) figuring out, that we're trying to figure out all over again, all of this with very sparse documentation on our end to figure out where everything "belongs" to make life easier.

That said, once these last bits of tedious updates are finished, we'll quickly get the rest of the bot updated. Right now, we're roughly 80% finished updating the tedious bits. The rest should take us no more than a day or two to finish, and we'll have a test build out. (So you're looking at, at least 4 days or so before any sort of ETA can be given)

I do apologize for the wait, but we are the only bot to offer such an immense API, and all that goes along with it.

You know what they say, 80% of your problems come from 20% of your work. Best of luck.

"We could have had a head start with updating during the beta, however we had been working on DB far more than we expected."

Hmm... perhaps it's time to try out the DB bot. I've made about $30 a week just tinkering around with the real money auction house. I think I can afford a copy of DB with that.

Very high ban rate with DB from what Ive heard which is why they are working on it.

Am I pissed off? goddamn right I am!! I just bought 5 accounts on the 27th leveling a 5 box team of nukkas and had a beast holy pally on lazy raider healing up my team of nukkas. I have to wait a week or so? but you know, that is ok...I thank the devs for all the time and effort they put into making the bot as safe as possible. And giving me a way to enjoy myself and make my life easier as I level. Let me asure you in saying a week is nothing, 2 weeks is nothing as long as it takes to make the bot safe and work properly, I have no problem waiting.

If it doesn;t happen this month I'll resub my bots when it does. Over the past year and a half I have been a HB customer. I have had no regrets, I thank Bossland and everyone at HB for their time and commitment to creating HB its CC's, Reputation grinds, leveling profiles. Thanks everyone I am one that for sure appreciate everything you have done for myself and the community as a whole.

Keep up the hard work!!

I purchased HB about a week ago and got my wife an HB for her seldom played but nostalgic toon a couple days after. We love it.. We get more excited watching the bots run kick's questing leveling profiles than we did hand playing BG's or arenas. We're both bummed out its down after getting a look at how sophisticated and well put together the program was. I do know a bit about coding however and I can at least fathom the undertaking the HB team is taking on. We thank you all for your hard work and efforts and are excited to get back to leveling our characters with your awesome program. I'd gladly wait longer to see a quality re-conditioned HB released. Thanks guys! From both of us. As a side note a husband and wife with several kids HB is a savior. We can have our characters leveling when we wouldn't have dreamed of even logging in. We can provide attention to our kids, do yard work, take care of grocery shopping, and do side projects in the garage to name a few. Awesome program. Take your time. We'll be waiting eagerly, yet patiently for the new up and running HB!

Just a little question, will this include support for Windows 8 ?
Considering the release of Windows 8 is not that far away anymore...

 

[Rusty_Trombone]

I haven't read all the posts. But how about 64-bit client?

P.S. Man, yesterday I had to actually farm for netherwing eggs. Actually farm After 7 years playing wow I still farm? Hurry up please.

Thanks for the update..keep em coming...think most normal people would be satisfied with a daily update...I for one am...take as long as u need to just keep us updated. Keep up the good work..much appreciated

No, it wont be supported anytime soon.

By Apoc:

Did someone ask for DX11 support?

We won't be supporting the x64 WoW builds because it's really not worth the effort to maintain two completely different versions of the game. (Addresses become very daunting to update each patch, and we'd have to do extra reversing and handling just to support the x64 client) The worst part about us supporting the x64 client, would be a drastic increase in memory usage from HB itself. (We'd have to store things in a way that the x64 client wouldn't get angry with)

 

[trinton]

Please Devs take your sweet time
I have a ton of mats to sell and there is almost no competition since all bots are not working !!!!!!

 

[Snotdoek]

Would it be posble to do part releases for example you fix Lazyraider and release that stating that other bot parts not working so people can see what you guys up to and both keep some people happy that way we all win somthing.

I realy don't care how long it takes as long as it is good and avoid the ban hammer i don't like that one. I'm willing to wait as long as needed.

Keep up the good work devs.

Sorry for my englisch i know it is not all that good but i do my best
