lots of botters skip the cave as they get stuck on the walls and fixtures a lot and cant be asked to grind there.

at 100 cap, bots will be forced to grind in this new cave...getting stuck.
do u think that bots will be discouraged by this and a few will quit as it takes "too long to get to lvl 100" when there not really doing anything...

i wanna join bk to sro but i cant get it, loads of bots, and its not worth the hassle!


oh ps. im 16 and i got a AS level grade A in maths today, just had to tell you all!

The cave is fking huge man, i very much doubt they would get stuck in anything. On the other hand, the new pk system will be implemented, might want to look that one up :D

really not sure how the new pk system in ksro or csro works, but from my understanding is that when someone atks a player, they both go pink if the player you atk....attacks you back then is a free 1/1 however if the player does not atk you back (like player bots) and you kill him anyways u still get murder stats...if that's how it works, i don't C how it would make a diff :?.....if that is how the system works..it can easily be exploited by just going pink and get in the range of an atk by a bot..like AOE atks

bots still find their ways around the caves, how ever you're right there is alot less, but its probally easier to them cause they go to ht pot and have a short ride to takla/roc, the caves would take even longer to get there, of course pots in dw change that, but old habits die hard.

I never really thought about the bots getting stuck in caves, but that explains why seceret rooms are almsot always open, still bots make their way just fine down to nachos/ yachas

I don't think tomb will be an issue, it just means they'll have to take better care in setting their waypoints. Would be nice though if they all got stuck.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but its mainly open area. Unlike dw's cave where there was something in the middle of the room typically.

1. The will find a way around that, if not they're fcked up.
2. You'll have to grind in a party, else you'll die anyway (as people are talking about it...).

i think the new pk system works like if you kill some one in pink or red you dont' get a murder penalty, but if you attack some one even if they are pink or red you turn pink yourself.

So a murderer can defend himself, and such.

I think because of the size of the cave (It'll prolly take ~20-30 min to get to your grinding space) many legits will be discouraged unless they use Reverse Return Scrolls.
Bots just leave their PC on 24/7 so the time it takes to get to their grinding space shouldn't be much of a problem for them.

That's what most people do for the caves. Especially the Yacha and Nachal rooms.

It's different 'coz now you get to have open PvP, not just the usual no penalty cape pvp. This way, you don't even have to be in job suits or in an actual guild war to start some action. You go purple and whoever attacks you becomes purple too, free PvP and everyone can just gang up on each other. No more GLOBALING NEED MORE THIEVES OR HUNTERS in DW EAST! LoL!

Seems like Lineage 2 all over again. Would be nice to see random parties going at each other. Only downside to this is... People are gonna exploit it and everyone's gonna be whining about lots of Red Bugs and also, if you die purple you risk dropping gears too. Plus the bots would have a hard time if we can exploit purple with AoE skills. Hah, I got a feeling it's not gonna last all that long. Joymax to the Bot Rescue! Patchhhh!

I am hoping for the new PK system more than anything else in this update, because everything about it is very anti-bot, there are so many ways to kill a bot with this new oppertunity, however it being anti-bot is the same as it being anti-money for Joymax, they may not implement it for the sole reason that it annoys their botting customers.

Wouldn't be surprised if the bot programmers found a way around that within a few days ;) AFAIK the bots we got now already have those options.

I hear alot that the cave will discourage bots. though its not in the way that the area is set up, its more in the fact of the skills the mobs will be using, ie, only clerics can remove petrifaction, and stuff like that. Makes me wonder when does warlock get petrification! lol

In kSRO (maybe others too, not sure about that) you got a new PK system. When you go pink on someone and that person attacks you back he goes pink too. That way you get a cape like fight without capes. And I think you have to respawn in town. Also there are no penalties than.
