Castle Fight Bot (3v3)

[Teshin]

So, lots and lots and lots of people, including myself, are getting genuinely sick and tired of noobs, afk'ers, gameruiners, first-timers, people that misses RS, blocks units, destroys 4-3-4 builds, can't speak a single word of English, or spams the -afk command to go afk over and over again. Or generally people that wont communicate with the team, in order to win.

There's a ton of good and serious CF players out there, that has their games ruined on a daily basis by players like the ones mentioned above.

My thoughts: Why on earth don't you create a CF bot for the more experinced and good players?

Suggestion would be something like a join requirement;

At least: 1100 elo - 50 games played - 50% wins - no less than 85% stay-rate. I do believe that just the 50 games played part would make a major difference.

There should also be a -noafk command enabled in the 3v3 bot aswell, since it's disgusting and annoying when someone writes -afk, then never comes back. Leaves his 2 allies to be stuck with a useless bot. If they votekick him while he's marked as AFK, the bot will override them, when they try to control him. I know -nafk is a mode, but for some reason it doesn't work in the 3v3 bot. If you think people should still be allowed to go 1 or 2 min afk to take a piss or whatever, you should make a rule that says every player is allowed to 60 seconds pause, and whomever resumes before 60 seconds has passed will receive a ban.

I know ALOT of players that would be genuinely happy about you guys making a proper 3v3 Castle Fight bot, so I hope you'll at least take this into consideration.

Idk if this is worth mentioning, but my bnet name is now different from my accname in here, since I changed bnet account, simply due to the fact that I had gameruiners, noobs and afk'ers cost me 100 elo in a single day. My new bnet name is ap3x_pr3dat0r - Don't know if you need this info, just thought I'd add it.

Best regards - Teshin/Ap3x

How big is the CF community?

[Teshin]

You're the admin, you ought to know, lol.

But 24/7 there are several games going, so rather big I'd say.

[aRt)Y]

Having stats is fine but hearing impressions of the users playing it daily is yet another thing.

You should talk to some of your friends to come and comment on this suggestion. Depending on the public participation and ENT's evaluation of the bot's activity, your suggestion might pass.

Support!

I support this.
I would like to see a bot with join requirements too. A bot with higher elo and/or minimum of played games would definitely make Castle Fight challanging again.
I know (talking out of experience) that there are a lot of people who quit playing CF, just because either the games get ruined by people who just join the game and don't play as a team. Or just by having new people in your team who doesn't understand anything and goes up and builds his first building right in front of the castle. Yes, I know I should try to help him and explain the game. But if he build his first building in front of the castle chances are big you will lose the game just by that. So this is one reason why I would like to see a bot with a join requirement.

Another big reason is because it is very hard to get a good fair game in CF nowadays. Nowadays most castle fight games are made up like this. You have 1 stacked team (pro's) and 1 low elo team (noobs). So there is no challange at all. And yes I could go to the other team. But I won't because chances are big that 1 person of the 'noob' team will make stupid mistakes. And then I talk about the mistakes the topic starter already noted.

The CF community is still pretty active, I think it takes like 1-5 minutes to get your game filled and started. 24 hours a day.

I'm also an active Cf player. I think having a CF bot with minimum requirements would be an added value to ENTGaming. A bot like this will make it much easier for us to have a challanging CF game with good team members vs an other team with good players.

Just my two cents

[Teshin]

could also consider making a bot with autobalance

[Teshin]

good players ofc always go same team, to avoid having their games ruined by noobs. autobalance would be good in the current bot. but surely not needed in a new join-requirement bot, since there simply wouldnt be any gameruiners to avoid

This map is really good and been up for a long time.. as said its many good and serious players which want to play serious, challenging games.
More often games gets ruined by those facts Teshin has told about here and seldom the opposite.

It could be the best of two worlds if this could be implemented.
Everybody needs to learn of course and its annoying when two guys tries to tells the third one on their team, which in this case is a beginner, and not even listen.. even if they are humble towards the third person and pedagogic.
This maybe is pretty whatever in this case, because in the end its about the person in the matter wanting to learn and not beeing dumbproud.
I dont know if its a fix for this more than trying to be friendly towards the beginner..

If this system would be reality it would also make these less experienced people better bacause its many out there that knows hows to play that had the same account for a long time, hence many losses but much experience.
Ive seen many that knew their stuff and didnt had crazy stats. So it wouldnt bee a problem for the beginners to be better as well.

1100 elo - 50 games played - 50% wins - no less than 85% stay-rate
This is a very good suggestion, it would make them serious rounds going for sure.

[Crabtree8]

I pretty much agree with all the things mentioned above, no real need to add anthing at this point! Got my full support on that one!

[Kunert88]

I support this here too i hope the 1100 bot woks this time better then 3 years ago

[calledtosalifat]

Very fine suggestion, would be lovely to see a requirement of 1100 elo enter. Im also having big brain pain, with people not speaking a single word/people write afk and leaves...

Also i would like to see a team shuffle before game starts, so everyone get random team, for more fairness and no stacking...

Maybe the game commands could be written by bot in first seconds so its always the gameplay,

-rr2 -ur -ban1 -gld28 -it7 -ht -na -bal1 -ca -slb -ntb -nfr1 -srg280 -skip ETC.

Highly support this, my b.net player name is D-C-X- / CarlSagan. Alot more players have shown enthusiasm for this when I've brought it up with them, but have either yet to sign up to the forums (not despite my lack of reminding them over and over) or simply forgotten about it when they logged off for the night. Players including - but not limited to - AScientologist, ObamaIsaCommie, PrinceCharming, Fuh, Syberian_PL, derRatschraf, rmfkdls, swow - and a fair few others.

I'd look at it this way - they say for every letter written to a television company about a certain subject, be it a complaint or suggestion, actually represent around 1000 people - being that only about 1 out of every 1000 people can actually be bothered writing a letter about something. While the other 999 agree, they just haven't voiced their opinions. So I'd assume this would be something along those lines - for every person supporting this I'd assume there would be a decent chunk more within the CF community who think the same thing, but just haven't put the effort into voicing their support. I'm hoping this makes sense - it seems logical when I run it through in my own head, however it may come across a little fuzzy now that I've written it down. I'm sure everyone knows what its like to try and rally gamers together - sometimes - just sometimes - it runs smooth as silk. But more times than not its like trying to herd a bunch of stray cats

tl;dr version - A lot of good, active players support this idea, but just haven't put their support in writing thus far

[Teshin]

Exactly. Many many more players supports this, even though they didn't come in here and give their actual support. It took me days to even make my best mates come in here and support, which says alot.

[aRt)Y]

@Teshin Post more qqing and the suggestion will be denied.

Suggestions need time - a lot of time. If you didn't realize that, yet, then I am sorry. If you guys dont have anything useful to add, then please refrain from posting. Bumping it wont help and no, we dont forget about it.
