Why only 1 BoT?

[playfair1965]

Hey every one, I just joined this server a week ago, Love the content and quests. I am new to bot and macros and the such. My question is why only one BoT? (not complaining, just asking) Is it a sever issue? Would love to have the ability to have 2 bots running.

I REALLY think this is a very solid idea. Bots are pretty subpar once you get into raid tiers (clerics only seem to cast a heal every 6-7 seconds or so...), so there's no real impact on upper progression. Not to mention that bots generally aren't permitted in raids anyways, so it would be far from game breaking. I think the ability to summon two bots would be amazing for us soloers out there. There are several classes which are really really limited in their ability to solo and are out shined 20 fold by the more popular classes that can solo, like SK, Pally, Mage/Necro, Beastlord, etc. Permitting two bots would let people take on the menial things like LDoNs and kill tasks without the downtime that simply doesn't exist on those main stream classes.

In general, it would make the server much more fun for those moments when your guild is primarily offline and you're stuck semi-afk, waiting for someone to log in. I know you gentlemen have considered this before, and it was likely very gamebreaking earlier in the server's life when T1 was endgame (yes, I was around before then ) but at this stage, it seems like a very logical and FUN implementation! Please please please consider the function of permitting a second bot! (Honestly, if I could make ONE suggestion on improving the server, this would be it, although it would have to be limited to two...)

Like the OP, I just don't see any negative to this anymore. Again, please consider this (I know it's been brought up in the past...)

I like it the way it is personally, try to group with others or get in an active guild. All about making friends and having fun.

It's not about not being social. This wouldn't detract from the social aspect of things, as people really only group/guild up for raid tiers, where bots are 90% uneffective. This is for the smaller, grind aspect of the game. For those weird classes that want to do LDoNs or farm random trash but their class design prevents them from doing so with any kind of efficiency whatsoever. Using LDoN as an example, you may be able to find 1-2 people mass farming them a day that'll let you leech AA, but you just end up standing around while they pull and kill 25 at a time and loot all the gems. A newbie with two bots (whatever that class may need) however can progress through these menial things more naturally without A) Leeching and feeling useless, and B) Earning loot/gems that the bigger guy automatically scoops up To say "Well just find a group" is fine and dandy, but your likelyhood of finding a compatible player of your tier who wants to grind your grind is pretty low.

Not trying to be argumentative, just stating my POV I personally don't have this problem, I farm just fine solo. But I can see the viewpoint of the person who wants to, say, play a wizard. Wizard joins a guild and manages to get in raid every day or other day, but for the other 90% of his playtime is spent either leeching, being walked through content, or just plain twiddling their thumbs. Allowing two bots is a huge boon for the casual player who cant find a raid every day (not every guild is all that active.)

I did fine lvling from 1-70 with a paly bot as most in game do. After that and gearing the bot up best I could was able to do some ssra T1 and ldons np heck he could even tank trash in stillmoon. As long as you gear them well they will take you far from a dou to an added w/e in a grp. I just dont see the need for having to have 2 bots, just my 2 cents

With what class? I'm not saying the current system doesn't work. It does. Somewhat. It especially works for certain classes. As an enchanter I ground my way up solo with nothing but a cleric bot and whatever pet I could charm. It took a while, but it worked. But just because something isn't broken, doesn't mean you shouldn't fix it! (wait...) You can't deny this would be tremendous for casual players of odd classes without breaking the server I just do not see any downside to it (from newbie to endgame), I only see positives.

Personally, I would probably never use two bots (well, maybe a 2nd cleric, but imho there should be a stipulation preventing you from summoning two of the same class bot, that may be a bit OP...) My charm pets always tank for me, a melee bot would just get in the way and die in 3 seconds But for others...

I think it would be neat...

Just use a pally bot, they are beast. healer, dps, tank all in one. Just keep them well geared as beat said.

While i Agree it would be nice to have a 2nd bot for some of people that solo. While I do have a Pally bot sometimes even with gear upgrades he gets eaten faster then i can keep him healed as Druid. Since most people won't need this option how about make is as another Donator item? This could work like the Sune clicky
