Let's compile a list of all current TWL and TWD problems

[Stabwound]

I thought that since the bots are currently being worked on, it would maybe be a good idea to come up with a complete list of all the current problems with the bots in both TWD/TWL. There was a thread with similar intentions in the TWD forum, but it quickly went off-topic into a flame fest.

I'll just start off with a few I can think off offhand.

TWBD: Teams are not warped to the ears. This differs from TWLB and also ?go base. Gives one team an unfair advantage, as the warp location is strictly based on luck.

TWBD: If teams agree to an 7v7 game and then add a full 8 players but just spec one (as opposed to !remove'ing them) the bot will count their flag points (200 point bell) even though they are in spec and not playing.

Wow, I hadn't even noticed this. This could be (and probably already has been) a serious problem.

babe i dont think that the staffers that host a TWL match will count the guy in spec his points to :P
dont know if that shit happens with a matchbot auto we will see

TWJD: Not necessarily a problem, but it might be. When you get warped inside the safety and somehow you just pop back out again...(possible 5-fer). The bot could just warp you back into the safety

TWDD/TWJD: Right as someone dies, the other team subs them out, giving them an extra death.

TWDD/TWJD: Right when the last guy of someone's team dies, they sub them out, making the other squad lose 10 kills.

TWDD: Although rare, warping in the beginning may lead to 1 person who wasn't warped and possible 5-fer (I actually got warped out of the safe when I did !blueout immediately after being warped the first time).

TWJD: In TWLJ, if a person waits too long outside base, a death is automatically added. Instead, you are immediately given 10 deaths in TWJD, which is very retarded.

TWDD/TWJD: Someone mentioned in another thread that instead of having a max of 3 lagouts, just give that person a death each time they lag out. However, I would like to change this and allow the first 2 lagouts to be free and the following start giving deaths.

TWDD/TWLD: In TWLD, greens are not allowed in the arena. However, TWDD has many greens all over the place. Both leagues should be one way or another, otherwise practicing for one league won't help prepare you as much for the other.

TWD: The website does not display how many rating points were gained/loss, which would be appreciated information to know.

TWD: There is yet to be a !rank command in the TWD bots to see what place and rating the squad you are trying to fight is. You CAN look at this information on the website, but that is extremely time consuming, and another squad may take that squad before you during that time.

TWD: Double squaders seem to be rampant in the league atm, although KJW said there was a big surprised in store for these people... I guess I'll believe it when I see it.

TWD: When you leave a squad to join another, your stats are supposed to get totally cleared... However, this is not the case and many times 5-10 games are still included regardless. Just annoying more than anything.

TWD: Doesn't show how many MVPs a particular person got. If nothing keeps track of these, why bother giving them out?

Thats all I can think of atm.

[MetalKid]

Oh yeah, the mvps. The way the MVP is calculated in TWD is purely on kills. If two people have the same amount of kills, then the bot will give the MVP to the person who is closest to the letter A, in other words alphabetical order. The way this should be done is if wins are the same, subtract the loses and then recalculate. If those happen to be the same, then the mvp should be based on points.

[Stabwound]

I just thought of a minor one:

TWD: Last season, every time you finished a game, the bot would message your whole squad telling how many points your gained or lost, and what rank you had changed to. It would be cool if that feature was brought back in.

And yeah, it would be great if all the small differences between the 3 TWL and TWD leagues were changed. Differences such as greens in TWDD and no ear warp in TWBD are major and really shouldn't be that way if their TWL counterpart is different.

[Da1andonly]

I thought that the bot would give MVP to the guy with most deaths..ie if "Walter" has 17-10 and "Abrakadabra" has 17-9 then the MVP goes to "Walter"

But then again, maybe I'm wrong

[MetalKid]

Well, what the bot does is go through each squad to see who had the most kills. It will go through the squads alphabetically too, I believe. If not, then it is still alphabetically through all the players.

[DeMoNoFdArKnEs]

TWDD: someone said this in a different thread and mk said something like this also, if someone specs to save themshelves from dieing they when they come back in they said put in at the spot they specced at

TWBD,DD,JD: there should be some type of command like !challenge (squadname)number of people to play) because, some squads when they are losing add a 5th when the other squad only has 4...so this way that problem will be resolved

Out and out: in another zone there is a command called !lagme or !lag(name) that shows the (persons) lag

[Jeansi]

If I remember right the TWD bot used to squadmessage the squad a minute or so after the game with information on how much the rating changed and what # the squad is in the ladder. Why was it removed?

Only let 1 challenge be sent at a time, so you dont get spammed with challenges from 6 ppl from the same squad

I'm forseeing a problem. How long should that 1 challenge stay?

A command along the lines of :MatchBotx:!notaccepting would be nice. It's really annoying to receive assloads of challenges at 1am when you've only got two or three guys logged on. Upon issuing that command, the bot would automatically reply to any challengers with a message like, "<Squad you challenged> is not accepting challenges at this time." Now of course, there's the potential for abuse of a command like this... but I think if anyone were to hit the number one spot of any TWD league and then just try not ignore all challenges, eventually one of the squads below them would catch up and surpass them.

Another thing I'd like to see is an automatic message to anyone entering an arena where a TWD/TWL game is already in progress. Much like in elim/baseelim, Robo Ref tells you what game is underway, how many players, etc. I'd like to see MatchBot rattle off who's playing who, what round it is and the current score.

These aren't problems, just things I'd like to see implemented. :]

Indeed.. also quite annoying is when you get challenges while your squad is already playing a match.. >_<
