Since I haven't been on WC in almost a year, it was at first a pleasure to use your bot. Hell, a guaranteed game, even if it's a pub, is still okay by me. But it's getting ruined by the all pick option. Hell, I don't think it should be in the game, but you get some REALLY unbalanced teams this way. Any thoughts about leaving it up to the players which side they are?

I just followed the settings Sparda's bot (EotA-HB) had.

I suppose I could put up a vote to do all pick or not... Or I could do "all pick tuesday, thursday, saturday."

It's not a huge deal and you'll probably hear my asking you to switch it back eventually. I just get tired of being stuck in one of the many ways to play that map. Thanks for the switch though.

Uh, not sure where to post this, but the bot is on all random. As fun as I find this, there have been MULTIPLE games where pubs leave due to not getting "their" hero. If this bot is to fulfill its function, I suggest a change to AP?

Also, have merc heroes available for AP. *grin*

I hope this is a joke.

[Edit] Apparently not. EotA isn't built for 6on6 and consequently breaks in various ways as a result. Way to test things first.

Wait, did Perhaps hack Eota to change it to 6vs6? Or is it just some bot thing that lets you do it?

Some hostbots like GHOST++ let you kick computer slots. You should revert it back to normal. No one's playing now = (

I find it funny that you would make a whole poll and thread on if you should switch it from AP or not, but then just randomly change it to 6v6 without consulting anybody.

"spur of the moment" te

Anyways, I said fuck it, considering it's 33/33/33 opinions on the poll and is also bothersome to do things in such a tight manner. So, I decided I'd just change setting as I feel. >_>

Or c3 even... I really just want Kedge's and Candleburg to not be completely unplayable because by level 30 I have so much lag I can't do anything.

Edit: Also, HostEm is currently hosting games as "EoaA".

It's still shown as a test release, so until said otherwise, stays as c2.

I have it set to a 7 game limit, there should be a lobby up almost all the time. If you're waiting for a new lobby for some reason (maybe not enough slots for you and someone else to join?), you would have to wait for the next regardless, since there can only be one lobby at a time, no exceptions.

Well if there's going to be a c5 if it gets changed, rather than just doing c4 again, I may as well launch c4 then. All this c4 talk makes me feel like a terrorist.

Yea feel free after 48 hours of a public release, unless someone posts an "omg wtf" bug.

Well considering I've been hosting c2 that was a public release, but yet has a non-ravenous dive. I figure as long as you don't go releasing another c4, I may as well just host it.
