Everyone go bot hunting

best way to check is look for games named like the ones i posted earlier in the thread, also check the description, if its a web site ad then its a bot.
 
Now all the people running it will be looking at the little thing that tells them how many fails, chickens, merc chickens, and deaths they get...seeing that their % of completing is dropping more and more.....hehehe

Eventually one of them will figure it out and start making pw'ed game.

The bots probably aren't teleing because its cheaper not to give them an enigma, so they just doing walking sequences.
 
If you end up not killing them by the time they kill Eldritch, just wait, and they'll come back through the wp to go to Shenk. I've gotten a fair few this way, just about kill them, but then they tp, but then I get my revenge before Shenk :laugh:
 
2. Join the game, if there is a tp in act 5 and you a lil late, then dont hostile the bot. I find it much easier to join it and steal its drops.

I wonder if you guys should adopt this as your standard procedure. Killing them for gold is funny, but it's probably not really accomplishing much. These guys aren't botting for gold. Stealing the drops, however, completely defeats the purpose of the bot and in fact leverages their efforts for your own gain.



 
I ALMOST got CCCP-Power (the 98, soon 99 paladin on EUROPE)
I noticed this guy had a very bot-like behaviour and i had to make sure of that and went to the obvious areas like Travincal and... CS where i managed to pick a Verdungo belt off him (off Diablo) :prop:
Then he went off to Frigid Highlands but i was too slow and he left the game...

I'll get him next for sure, I know his pattern now.

EVERYONE on Europe hunt CCCP-Power down before he gets 99 !
He *joins* random games so you'll be sure to meet him when you play.
 
I tried to chase one around yesterday but was unable to use waypoints after I "hostiled" him.

I'm new to chasing down other players so I assume I am doing something wrong but not sure what.
 
This is absolutely hilarious... When i get back from work, I will try this.. I'll take my zon and just use guided till he pops!! I wonder if he is on USeast Non-Ladder.... So Frigid HIghlands seems to be the place to kill heh?
 
^^hehe let Diablo get the last blow or 2 so he loses a lot of xp.

Ive tried letting the monsters finish them off but it hasnt worked for me, so i just kill them. Then i mf the rest of the game, join a new one and start the hunt over.



 
I've been following them to Travincal and Eldrich and stealing their drops before going hostile. They pick up fast so you've got to be right on top of them. So far today I've gotten a Duriel's shell, Stormrider, 5mfsc, 20 life/6 fire res sc, and a bunch or rares worth 35k. They don't seem to pick up magic items, including charms and jewelry, so you don't have to jump on those right away.

I noticed that if I TP from Travincal, and they are making another trip there, they get confused at the portals and just stand or run back and forth switching from concentration to vigor. Throwing up a TP in another act seems to straighten them out, though one time funsad was pacing back and forth for several minutes before giving up and quitting the game.
 
^^yeah they leave if they fail an operation too many times. Then the operator gets another fail tacked on to their %completed.
 
This is so funny guys.

I have killed a few already, I am surprised they don't ever chicken.

This is a quick and easy way of getting gold to repair items.
 
question about the wp,,, once you hostile the player, can you use the wp? or do u tele to the wp?

I got 1 the other day, i'm going to ge more with my smiter

Takes about 5 seconds before you can use the WP. I've been hustling back to Harrogath after nabbing the bot's Eldrich drops, hostile ASAP, then try to take the WP and move aside before he gets done with Malah. Can't always do it fast enough though. If he takes WP before I can I wait a few secs to make sure it's clear of the WP 'cause if there's any monsters near there he might be throwing hammers. I let him kill Shenk and drop a Blizz on him if I'm using a sorc or pop some death sentries if I'm using my trapper, I haven't had much luck offing them on the WP and I figure I may as well let them MF Shenk for me too. You'll have better luck than me hitting them on WP with your smiter.

EDIT: The delay before being able to use WP is actually 10 seconds according to Arreat Summit. Seems shorter to me though.



 
I'm suprised that noone has made a game specifically for dropping the ears. Not sure that people would be coming into the game enough to keep it going, but it would be cool to have a place to set the ears. Just a random thought.
 
Intelligence Report

I don't have a character to kill them but I was checking out their games. One of them is named hupb-hunter and is a level 85 paladin. Anyone know what he does?
