Breaking bots by standing in doorways

KorikKorik Posts: 29
edited November 26 in General Discussions
Just a little event humor, you can break some event bots by standing in single doorways because their auto-pathing can't cope with a door they can't open/close. Anyone have an army of EJ accounts and a vindictive streak?

Womp.

    You better be able to answer a question when they page on you.  They will definitely ban an EJ account for blocking. 
    Reminises about hay bales.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    Lots of new faces in different traps even after the city has been cleansed... I think a GM may need to pop in to let them know their script is poorly made give them a friendly hello!

    If you are in Tram you can not block a legit player in a doorway as they can walk through you.

    He is saying it's more about the door being open.  If that's the case.  He is not blocking.  You gave him an alibi.

    It's not blocking, nor are they there to page :) 

    They can very easily move through any part, but because of how they've set up their client/script, it keeps trying to use the door, even though it's open.

     I'd love to see them page on themselves though.

    More bots confused by an open door :O

    You are not blocking normal movement would by your reply.  '
    Can't go into Hay bales.  Cows Love  em.  Fresh milk.

    I'm just saying if an EJ account is blocking and the GM see you blocking after told to stop, They will ban for that activity.  You are not blocking in Tram.

    If any GM wants to come deal with these guys they're on a silver platter for you :)

    The neat thing is, if they come to action me, or even investigate me standing there to see if I am actually blocking, they have to acknowledge the bots standing right there.


    This can all be solved though by opening more simultaneous cities for the event - Or a dungeon like Deceit would be even better. They say keep busy if you want to stay out of trouble and I'd love for them to keep me busy enjoying the event :]

    If i was a gm i would randomly lock a door during the invasion and simply ban anyone that gets stuck at that door. But it looks like banning paying accounts is frowned upon by the dev team.

    It's not, just complain instead of cheating on a third party client; then let me know.. Do not disturb the cheater way of living and you good.

    PS: just read the vet initial reaction to this post.. total madness ^^
    Unpaid account disturbing the bots? You better have the answer cuz...  :#
    So rather than recognise the effort the botters went to, to set all that up - for the benefit of the players, to help get certain items, something you could never be bothered to do, you would rather drag people backwards to your neanderthal world?

    Do you even know what a legit player is or do you just post dumb shit.  No alibi needed because he is not doing anything wrong.

    I am sorry this is beyond your understanding.  If this were in FEL everybody would just kill the BOT, is that simple enough for you.  Even if this were an EJ Account it is NOT blocking any legit player.  THE DOOR CAN BE WALKED AROUND.  NOT BLOCKING

    Take your meds dude.  I give you a compliment and you blow up and do personal attacks for no reason.

    So here goes. :)

    Messing with bots, awesome I do it all the time, Tram or Fel, I don't care if I risk warnings to do it, I'm having fun, its a sandbox game.

    Players can be time rich/cash poor, time poor/cash rich, time poor/cash poor, time rich/cash rich.
    Every player finds a way to play that meets their needs to be able to play UO, which is an intensive grind game.
    Some people care more, some people care less, some people want more, some people want less.

    Each to their own I say, live and let live, play your game, have fun.

    I know students who have scripted and botted to raise cash to get through university. I will mess with them all day long, but ultimately I say, well done to you, I wish you all the best in life and at Uni.

    I know people who are stuck at work all day long, who script to make up for their lack of playing time.

    I know players who have a lot of cash, and cannot play so much, so buy what they need. The entire RMT situation would not exist, if players were not BUYING. It takes two to tango. My only regret there actually, is it is not Broadsword raking in that money - I genuinely wish it was.

    I know people who have multiple family accounts and play them all when other family members cannot play, to make sure all characters are geared. Because you cannot often put in the multiple amount of time required, but you are still paying X amount more.

    I know people who play all day long. They have the time to do everything "by the rules".

    Should these players get to judge everyone else? I think that is poor form and attitude myself. I get tired of these complainers, so I go to Felucca to avoid them all. 90% of the time, they are busy judging people who are not "bots", as quite often I know the people and how they play. I've known the cleanest players get accused of botting. I am not pretending to be the cleanest player these days {I actually used to be, I was known for it}. I would quite happily be transparent and open about how I play, but I am equally tired of the reverse toxicity to quote Rhel, and the judgement, so I avoid it all.

    The Bots, and people that some people think it is their divine right to complain about all day long, are people as well, living their own life, and doing their best. Good luck to everyone. Play how you want, but make sure you are enjoying yourself.

    Onto the leaving doors open to break Bots - very cool, I'm looking for tricks like that, all day every day, to break bots and scripts, it is fun :)

    I can't wait for BS to stop promoting third party engine users and start banning them third party users from game and forum.

    right @cookie ?

    My opinion is, for years we begged Broadsword to improve Classic, and many many players said it could not be done. This is the line we were fed for a decade, I did not believe it, I argued against it, I made many suggestions to improve Classic. And a lot were implemented - but there is still more to do, and now, I believe the Devs understand that.

    Then we saw guys programming from their basements, actually do it. And honestly, in my opinion, they maintain the look and feel of UO, as if it had continued to be developed and maintained. I know and understand the UO Devs are often in "Maintenance" mode, but I felt they stepped back when they could have carried on improving the game.

    So, my final opinion, if the Devs can progress UO Classic to the point it has the playability I enjoy, and I love playing UO, then absolutely, they can ban the 3rd party clients. I do not believe in stepping backwards however. There is no need to.

    I am more than happy to detail the exact playability options, and many times I try to drip feed suggestions in. But I am limited in what I can do, as much of the time, my posts get deleted as I am crossing lines.

    You do what you do.

    I've said my piece, made myself clear, no need for me to say anymore.

    Let's display doorstopper items in the Ultima Store for 1000 sovereigns. They'll definitely sell like crazy. We'll keep every door in Britannia wide open!

    Let's not.
    While I don't like 'bots' any more than the next player, constantly bitching about them on this forum is getting old fast.
