I am getting together a group of people to work on a multi-faction point bot system for Pande and all 4 Alien Playfields (13, 28, 35, 42). The driving force behind this project is the reality that the player population is not what it used to be, newbies are quite often left out of content and forced to buy lootrights to everything and Sector 42 raids are not accessbile/an option for a large portion of the Rimor community.
Some starting concepts/ideas:
- Shared points across multiple playfields: Meaning vets/experienced players could help with pande and apf 13/28/35 raids and use those points (in some form) for loot in sector 42
- Scheduled raids (Pande and all APF raids would be on advance-notice schedules and only raids done via the system at the designated times would be granted points)
- Some form of alt looting and/or alt point sharing system
There are many factors to be considered in such a system (from both a PvM and a PvP mindset) and as a result it would be beneficial if we had experienced people from all 3 factions involved. Additionally, we'll need bot coders as well as a bot host so I'd like to get those individuals involved from the start.
If you are able to fulfill any of the needed roles (experienced players/raidleaders, bot coder, bot host) on the planning 'committee' please reply to this post along with your weekend availability to be on Teamspeak (in EST or GMT). My plan is to give this a few days and then hold a Teamspeak discussion on March 17th or 18th to go over the scope of this project in a bit more detail. It would probably be something good to sit in on if you're on the fence about whether or not you wish to participate as well.
There are specific people that I would love to have involved with this project but I have not reached out personally to all of them yet. So please do not think that because I have not contacted you that I wouldn't appreciate/want your help.. that isn't the case. This thread is just a starting point.
And btw, please don't troll my thread This is actually a serious post.
