Bot Potential

[RainOfCastamere]

Hello guys!

So here I was thinking about a number of possibilities, as to how make NWU a bit more famous and which would in terms promote ENT in some way or another, so here's my suggestion - having looked back at BGN bots, I've noticed a large number of games being left out, as in...nobody enters those games and ultimately that "wastes" the bot's potential in many ways. Personally the only games I play are Dota and NWU. Seeing as Dota is the most common game out there, and NWU is just starting to gain ground, I would like to suggest to implement a number of bots towards NWU, but with different mods just like in Dota's case.

Having looked at your game list, I can safely assume that some of the games being hosted don't take such a high priority, so what do you think about assigning NWU with a different mode, lets say -ar. Even if just in terms of curiousity as to see if this move is going to work, I feel that it's going to be worth a try.

Here's a small list of games I've identified to be a waste:

1)[ENT] Castle Fight 1v1 #1
2)[ENT] Castle Fight 1v1 #1
3)[ENT] SWAT Aftermath #3
4)[ENT] The Predator #2
5)[ENT] Tree Tag! #1

Thanks.

Your suggestion of adding a new mode for NWU is distinct from closing down those bots.

For the mode, NWU just got started on ENT so we should wait a while to see if it gets popular enough before adding more modes.

Making more bots for NWU will only effectively split the population of people joining games. This will lead to much slower game starts. Unlike DotA, most games don't have a big enough player base to expand to multiple bots.

Well I guess it's just wait and see, however I just feel that you're underestimating the community a little bit

Castle Fight 1v1 is not a waste. Many games are hosted. Is not waste because the number is #1.
Also who play that type of games usually don't play NWU. So don't make any difference.

Make a bunch of bots just to nwu would be worst. Would split the nwu players and don't have a good player base at ENT atm. The nwu players are already splited at SPN, vara, euro, privates, etc.
There is no need to split more.

The number #1 *for castle fight* will be there for good, the bot is not re-hosting cuz it has a new system match-up however is hosting many games, if you play castle fight, you should try the new system.

Spn bots are at a very big disadvantage as of now, because they allow dlers into the game; VC bot - people say it lags and impossible to play there; privates? Our current clan has one, but its not as famous yet and there are still a couple of problems with it in terms of lag issues.

@RainOfCastamere You can view how many games have been hosted by each bot in the last week here: https://entgaming.net/statsbot.php

Just looking at game numbers is deceiving, because our game counter starts over at 99, thus going back to game 1 every 100 games.

Oh right. Thanks
