Everyone go bot hunting

Palazar and I were hunting last night. He has a high level windy, and spamming nados at the wp gets an insta-kill.

I, on the other hand, was using my underpowered trapsin (normally a keyrunner). With only 4 k traps, I could slowly get his life down, but then he would juve! He was totally stunned, but it was a battle of attrition. I managed to kill a few, but mostly they would end up breaking out and tping to town. Either that or they chicken.

I like to think I did more damage to their overall MFing by wasting away all his juves and potions.

If only this was HC...then it would be very satisfying. As it is, I fear we are fighting a losing battle.
 
Josiphos - find a cropse. Death Sentry. no more bot. :smiley:

Im not hunting these to stop or hurt them, im hunting them for free and easy drops and 200k every few minutes.

The council is ideal for this...
 
Well, I got my first few kills (with a meteorb) tonight. You're right, this is fun and worthwhile ;).

Came across another hunter in one game, but I didn't stick around long to chat, so I don't recall who it was. It was a smiter. I think the character name started with D.
 
I've been lurking the forums for a while and this is the thread that gets me to join up.

Mostly, I wanted to thank those that suggested this fun part of the game. I managed to gamble the best ammy I've ever found using this endless supply of gold.
 
Ran across someone from here today (recognized the char name) in a Bot game with my 95 Zon who asked me if I was killing. I said ya, then he left.
It doesn't take too long to see the pattern and find a nice place to wait...usualy the Frigid WP.

Only once did the Bot start spamming hammers right off the bat at the wp with no monsters around (at least that I saw). Wasted my merc.
 
I got about 12 tonight.
Camped the Frigid waypoint and spammed hammers as soon as he pops up.
My FO sorc couldn't even dent those dorks.
 
i only read page 1, but what the bot is doing is advertising the site eexten.com or sumthing, and in script it has unid anni for x.xx$ and griffs for x.xx$ at site.com and it does trav then eld then shenk, and from the bots ive seen it then walks down to anya, pauses for about 15secs, then exits
 
I got my first couple of bot kills last night. Racked up about 1mil in gold but I am sad to report I did get slaughtered once :cry: I was standing on the waypoint at Frigid and ggg-tom decided to start hammering as soon as he appeared ... I ended up reclaiming my body and killing him at Shenk though.

Good time :thumbsup:
 
I ran into someone today who claimed to be unaware of this site or this thread but who said he'd been doing this for a long time and had been trying to keep it secret. We are not alone! ;-)
 
Grrr i cant find one of these games on west is it ladder or NL they tend to be on?
West Ladder has a few. :wink3:

Those things sure are tough. They must seriously chug the reds full time.


 
I'm happy to say i finally got in on this!

after getting a bit bored doing quests on new chars (far more chars then i can gear) i decided to go hunting

the *first* one i find i go and watch at trav. he got anniliated by Geleb Flamfinger - quite the laugh!
2nd and 3rd time i nailed him at the friged waypoint but i got bored of just standing there waiting for him
so the 4th time i try to have my hammers hitting him as he hits the waypoint.. sadly that caused a chicken effect
so since then i've been running pindle, then back to town to hostile and run shenk, and wait for him to wander through - where my hammers just happen to be flying in the air where he's about to walk...

made about 2 bil gold so far in 7 games - best gold find ever!!!

didin't snag any good drops past a 38ed jewel tho.. maybe next time

*yay for edit*

my mate just went into a game, hung around to watch trav - then used his lvl 70 necro (with an Ondals for better use) and brought the councel back to life

i just happened to join this game not fully realizing what he was doing.. i got to friged *just* in time for the most awsome screenshot ever...

wow.. ears! O_o

and who is it you've seen around? me or my mate? lol

he's the more ladder one of the two of us but we did decide to do a bone&windy combo of Pinky and the Brain... (eventually i'll get gear for a windy.. i *just got 172 fcr nl - dam 34 spirit)

i should have taken ears... but i did get screenshots of all kills (or tried to) - imageshack hates me though so i was suprised to get those up....

but i love how unpartied he ran out of mana/no bonus from my aura so he got nailed fast

I just recognize the name from a few bot games. My dude's name is Reasonable_Man. His poor little hammers barely take out the dudes before they save & exit.
Earlier this morning I witnessed a freak occasion when one of these bots ran through my hammer field and didn't get hit~!
I think I'm done with killing them for a little while- can't hold anymore gold.


 
has anyone every tried it in hc? I think I've seen a few "annie for 9999" and I was wondering what the heck is a 999 before I read this thread.
