Bot related problem from current REV

[relentless]

1) pet class bot, upon gating or zoning, will reduce it's HP to 1.
2) when mana class bots meditate to full, they will essentially automatically "bot guard", and you will have to initiate #bot group summon and #bot group follow.

3) #bot reportmana not working

That are the 3 bugs I find, currently.


Upon further testing. on #2, if the bot hasn't caught up to me, and I #bot group attack, the bot will stop his point of origin, and freeze there until given group follow command. (mage bot). Perhaps the bot is telling his pet to attack target, but pet gives him a "cannnot coz target is too far away" feedback, and he freezes?

Upon further tesing... (I tested this around a small bend), if mage pet does not have LOS to the target, #2 happens (the freezing), and after I #bot group summon, I'll have to #bot group follow, before bot will accept #bot group attack command.

I hope the above is not too confusing..

Does this REV also mean that we'll no longer be able to quick summon bots to self buff group on raids, as reset timers are 3 mins per bot now?

Just want to add to this, the Warrior bot doesn't seem to regenerate. While with my ranger, the warrior bot was tanking and at the end of battle was at 12% health. I waited a few minutes to see if it would regenerate anything, but I ended up having to bind wound and light heal on it.

Perhaps we can add a #bot sit command to make the non-casters sit down and regen faster than them just standing there?

Now I can't say for sure, but I am 99% certain that this will be the case. Bots were originally chain killable/stunnable and it was great for buffing, but people were also able to exploit it for other reasons. As a result Striat added a 3 minute timer to bots, but with the rev update prior to this one bots were changed, and the 3 minute timer was affected. If it's back, it was definitely intended. You'll just have to rely on sune/player buffs like the rest of us! : P

This seems to be random. sometimes it happens, sometimes it does not. Thanks. Corrected on test server.

2) when mana class bots meditate to full, they will essentially automatically "bot guard", and you will have to initiate #bot group summon and #bot group follow.

I was unable to replicate this, but I admittedly had not read your clarification when testing. I will take a look at it soon and give a follow-up in this post.

3) #bot reportmana not working

Tested this multiple times and did not notice an issue. My process was target bot, use command. If you do not have bot targeted, it will not work. I updated the code to respond that you must have a bot spawned if you do not have one spawned and also eliminated this target aspect. Look for it to come out next week.

The three minute timer is the default rule value from test server. I think this was the intended timer when we created the timer(I'll check). You're correct in that you cannot mass buff before a raid mob in the zone of the mob. Hopefully, future changes to overhaul bot functionality altogether will remove this need altogether. Do consider that you may still do as your describe in the hidden forest home zone. #bot camp does not trigger the timer in the home zone.

Thanks for the feedback!
