Adding a 2nd LTD mega bot

Postby TinSoldier » Wed Jul 05, 2017 6:58 pm

the ENT 18 is a super active bot, and as someone who plays on 1200 and LIHL it is a fun place to unwind and play some casual games with friends. The issue I run into often is if i am playing with 2 or 3 friends it can be difficult to get onto the same team due to the lobby filling so fast. Another issue is lobbies getting stalled. The reality is a lot of players will dodge a lobby/team if a new player, or someone with less than 1k elo or a bad w/l ratio joins and some lobbies will take 5 minutes to start.

With ENT 18 being a super active and popular bot, i feel like having two LTD mega lobbies hosted at one time may help alleviate the issue, i.e it won't be 30 people trying to bumrush into one lobby at a time.

Don't believe the ENT.96 bot has been online for some time.

Current status on games list: 95 hour lobby

yea that bot is inactive, probably because of the "euro" in the name. I'm asking for another [ent] legion td mega # bot that hosts simultaneously with ent 18

@TinSoldier That would make games fill slower if they have the same name (not sure if its even possible). Would just be good for the prime time when pre-mates want to play. The rest of the dayy it would be idling around like the last bot, people are just used to ENT18 by now.

The mega bot fills fast and waiting a few minutes for a game isnt a reason to split up the playerbase again.


@Unitil Yes its offline on all realms, it was shut down a while ago but somehow appeared back in gameslist a week later. Didnt figured out how to remove it so far :P

i mean same name as they would both be [ent] legion td mega but two different numbers, for example #54 and #55 hosted at the same time. And it wouldn't split up the player base, it would just cause less lobbies being stalled or delayed because people race to get 2,3 or 4 ppl on a single team, or if a 700 elo player joins a team and the lobby is stalled for 10 minutes because no one wants to play with them (its a reality). Everyone joins from the ENT game list so they will also easily be able to see which lobby is filling during non peak hours as well. Given the amount of inactive bots being autohosted by ENT, i don't see why this should be difficult thing to do considering LTD is one of the most played games on ENT.

No resources for another bot at the moment.
    Information, Rules, Guides and everything else you need to know about ENT is on the ENT Wiki.
