Pop Xpak - Heavily Scripted - Going Forward

[oldrelic]

I've don't most of the extremely annoying zones on beta. A good 90% are heavily scripted.
Example: POD - The source. requires toons to run in different direction, click on specific plants while avoiding the water, bones, etc. this is every 10%. even being behind the computer, I get hung up on the bones or stunned by adds, too far away from the healer(2)
Another zone POD Infested Mesa. every x amt, the named will have an icon somewhere under his name with a specific name of a worm. 1 toon in grp will, somewhere, have a matching icon. That toon has to click on the specific worm.
Another zone (can't recall name) toons have to jump on fan blades which get thrown in the air to click on balls. Sometimes you can get 1 and make it to other side, other you have to steer down to jump on another fan to get thrown across.
Mostly all the zones have some kind on 'stand on your head' script.

It's apparent this xpak is NOT botcrew friendly. keeping in mind I'm not an expert, by any mean working this program.
I was wondering if this program can or will be usable in all the zones with the heavy scripting? And by an average person.
I don't want to buy 6+ xpaks only to find I won't be able to use this.
Thank you

Unfortunately I can't give you a definite 100% answer. However, I can tell you from previous expansions, there has never been a single fight, or zone that hasn't been able to be completed by botters (this includes all heroic AND raid zones).
By the average person, well, depends what we're calling the average person..
Generally speaking if there are any new mechanics added, Amadeus adds support for them, then I can script the fights.
Usually the more complicated the fight, the more time it takes to code it, but usually we can find a way to complete all the fights.
I personally am ordering 12 xpacs, if that tells you anything.

Thanks Kannkor, I think I'll go ahead and get the xpaks as well.

I'd like to point out that full 100% automation is sometimes different from what Kannkor is talking about when he says that botters can complete "unbottable" content. Being at the keyboard to reposition or send commands to your crew does make a big difference in script intensive fights.

You can also count on ISXRI, I have already preordered and will start coding all the instances and quest lines as soon as the xpac releases and amadeus has it updated for us. No worries man as with the previous xpacs you will be able to bot and have fun. I say get your xpacs.

This is very true. When I say all content has been able to be completed by botters, I am definitely referring to being at the keyboard. For example, back in the day before we could read colours, you had to be there to press a button to "tell" the bot which colour it was. But it was easy enough to press 1 button as a human.
