Random BG profile?

[MD182]

How hard would it be to setup a system where you had 3-4 different WSG profiles or any BG for that matter and had it select at random which one to use? A system like this would image would help make BG's look less botted. I joined a WSG today and saw 3 people go to the same spot in the same direction... and everyone in the BG started to say things about opening "GM tickets" etc etc.

I don't know if that idea makes sense or not or how hard it would be to implement.

Any ideas or thoughts?

very soon you will be able to use profiles with random waypoints

Already can.......

Already can.......

from HB engine yes
but there arent many profile with the "random switch" yet
if you take a look in default Bg profiles you will see that they are still "normal"

<RandomHotspot>True</RandomHotspot>
Summit like that, don't have me files to hand cos am at work.

Having sat down and thought about this I came up with a few issues when using the random hotspot ability in BGs.

The main one of course is as follows, I will use AV (alliance) as an example;

Spawn at gate, Hb decides to use the hotspot at Galv and it runs all the way there, then it decides hotspot back from the way it came is the next place. This means you are running against friendly targets and in my opinion could risk more player reports due to a very sporadic movement pattern in terms of the maps objectives.

Myself and several others have discussed the possibility of a more intelligent BG logic that could possibly be created using the in chat messages, the big yellow heads up messages which pop up and of course the locations at which you spawn at.
Basically what would happen is that if you spawn at Snowfall GY and the message appears that indicates Galv has been killed pops up it would go into an offensive mode which would push further rather than reuse hotspots which are now empty of enemies.
We all agreed the logic and interaction required would be immense but no one said it was impossible.

Now I am not sure if anyone I spoke with had plans to actually attempt such a task like this but it would certainly be interesting to hear others opinions on this.
