  • Suggested Update for the Duel2 Bot

    The amount of time in-between !zone's at the Duel2 arena are unfair compared to the other arena's and needs to be lowered.

    Not only are the Elim, Javduel, and Wbduel arena's 100x as populated/used/suggested by players more often as the Duel2 arena is 99% of the time on any given day, but people in those arenas only have to wait somewhere around 12(ish) minutes for an AUTOMATIC !zone from their bots in-between their games ...

    Whereas in stark contrast, the poor souls using the bot at Duel2 have to wait a complete HOUR in-between just to do a MANUAL !zone (in an arena that takes TWICE as many people as Elim does just to even start a match) and we're talking about an arena so desolate that it almost exclusively depends on !zone's to survive.
    Even the people in the weekend ?go tourny events don't have it nearly as rough for zoning.

    You could for example, have four people in Duel2 (the minimum required) and if one of you leaves for ANY reason at all OR is too laggy to play anymore, the other three players are totally screwed. Even if the four players in that scenario had played a ton of games in a row prior to someone leaving, they are almost always still waiting for such a ridiculously long amount of time for the next zone that (unless someone can beg a friend to come at the last second) I can say from personal experience: everyone will just leave at that point.

    Isn't it only fair that it be balanced with the other arenas bots that already perform the same command automatically?

    This is being changed to 20 minutes instead of an hour. If it becomes too spammy, we might do something like "if 1 players, *zone every 30 minutes allowed. if 2 players, *zone every 20 minutes allowed., if 3 players, zone every 15 minutes allowed."

      If I understand this right messagebot can have players in groups and notify them about things instantly. Why not let people opt into such groups and let them receive all the messages about duel-type events they want and keep the zoners low? Less spam, more instant news for those who care.

        Good idea, except that dedicated Duel2 players are few and far between, meaning they rely on zone messages to compel the average player to try out Duel2.

          Was talking about a mix of zoners and instant news things.

            could also hook into a messagebot channel
