Serious Problems with Simple Suggestions

[nickbmx2]

1. Waypoint Fail:
Many people, probably including TL staff, are aware of the waypoints being sloppy. This causes your tank to zigzag around until it finds a point, which isn't so much a problem later in the game... but in the very beginning my tank just bashes into all my teammates and spins in circles. This looks just about as bot-like as it gets, and it happens with ALL tanks.

Solution: Have it sit still in the spawn for Xseconds, that way everyone has time to leave the spawn and your tank wont randomly crash everyone and look like a bot.


2.Random Crashing:
I know staff is aware, but I'm simply adding this to the list. I set my bot over night, and I wake up to find only 1000-2000 XP due to a crash shortly after I started the bot. I have no fix for this, but it would be cool if it got taken care of.

3. Aiming:
So, the aiming system is basically just the 'right click auto aim' feature. The problem with this lies behind the fact that the auto aim usually ends up shooting at the front of their turret. Unless you're playing with tanks 4 tiers lower, there's no way you're getting a hit.

Solution:
Obviously putting hit zones for every tank would take forever, but it could really improve this bot if you guys had it shoot at the low front, sides, and rear of the tanks rather than just the auto aim location.


I'll call some more out as I see it, thanks for reading staff.

Thanks for your suggestions, I do have a few notes on them however. First off, camping in spawn is not an option. It's been discussed in other threads before, and what it boils down to is it's easier to spot a tank that camps for 15-20 seconds in spawn as a bot than it is to spot one who makes mistakes while moving.

The random crashing thing is a serious one, but it's a ghost bug. A ghost bug is one that is obviously haunting our users, but can not be replicated. Various measures have been put in to place in order to prevent it from happening, but fact of the matter is that it's still there, and it is still very annoying.

On the third subject, manual aiming, that's something we don't want to go into. We tried it before, and it turned out to be a complete and utter mess, with the tank often missing targets, not targeting at all, not being able to decide what to target, etc. Auto-aiming is not ideal, I know, but it works, and it is reliable.

I would still like to thank you for pointing out possible solutions to existing problems, it is highly valued.

Thanks for the reply! I've clearly abused the bot and haven't been banned yet, so.. beggars can't be choosers I suppose. The spawn camping CON makes 100% sense on the WoT staff-side detection, but players won't report someone for botting because they don't move for Xseconds. In my opinion they would be more likely to report someone trying to get a 20-ton tank to break dance in the spawn lol.
