Probably gonna play solo legion on hellgarve next

One of the Playerbots tried to steal my staff. I have no GM permissions so when there's a rare item that we all want it's a fair roll between me and the bots.

I can't describe the feel I get, when I roll against 6 people and all they miss, "Aah crap, the fire mage got it." Come here just check that spec real quick. And you're done when I'm running with Dominion, waiting at the Graveyard for your ass to respawn! Sorry, it's stuck in my head for two weeks. It's really the reason I felt like playing. Probably the greatest video game fan song. "What about Banelings." Please.... please...

Obviously WoW is unimportant to this. That's not the point. My point is to push forward replacing people with bots. In the same way social media garbage will finally die when we have chatbots, online video games will die as well, "but that's sad, the video game part." Is it?
I still think people will struggle to see them as real people even if they are 100% Allen Timmy Turner Test, no matter what, they need to exist in a more real state outside the game. Same with how chatbots will never feel real until you can store the whole thing offline on your computer and phone. But even then, we don't know, because we haven't even reached the level where bots can interact at a even decent human level.

The truth is the playerbot did steal the staff from me. He stole two items from me at the same time, and then the Playerbots always announce when they equip things so after taking the staff he let me know she equipped it. And then stood right in front of me. But I went through again and got it, don't worry kids, I'm okay.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Holy shit

>>724785203
Azerothcore is for Wrath of the Lich King only. And there is no playerbots for anything past Wrath of the Lich King. In fact I don't think anyone has even made emulated servers for anything past Wrath of the Lich King. They pretend to. But they admit they only have 95% of the spells working and so on. Well even original-WoW isn't finished. We still haven't even emulated that properly yet. I can't imagine what emulated servers look like for anything beyond Wrath of the Lich King.

However, why anyone would even want to play TBC or Wrath of the Lich King is a mystery. The only two versions of WoW are the original unfished game, and Cataclysm . Because Cataclysm is a finished game, they finished everything they set out to do. "What about the broken Isles!?" While they did plan always to add that, I'm not sure if it's ever mentioned in game.
But what are you gonna play WotLK for? It operates the same as the rest of modern wow but it's unfinished. Cataclysm is at least finished.

>>724784958
wake me up when i can erp with the playerbots

>>724784958
>half the party dead
alright, he says

>>724784958
Stop making SPP players look like schizos. We already have enough of an issue with retards not understanding that people would actually want to play WoW without the cancer that is the modern MMO audience.

>>724786207
You can though. (I haven't tried it myself yet though. You can attach a LLM to bots and talk/erp with them if you wanted.)

>>724784958
How would that even work? Do they know who to heal and when? Do they know how to tank and what to when they lose aggro? What about gearing up? Professions? Gathering?

>>724786207
You ask this everytime I post. Actualyl no, it's probably a different person, because I know this is just another porn board. You think they'll ever make a video game board? Or is Hiro too busy catching up on his Superchats?

Unfortunetly when it comes to WoW, playerbots are not really being worked on, yet. They exist, and they've come a long way since the mid 2000s. But No one is really working on them very hard because no one cares, yet. They will though. Because as I predict, WoW will finally die soon when Blizzard makes Classic+, which will be a disaster that some people like and most don't and then some will like Classic++ and some Classic+ and the whole thing will be such a mess people will look for alternatives, aaah and thatt's when the real work will begin to not only do playerbots right, but finish the game the way it should have been.
And WoW is only important because it's going to be THE game, that first does interactive real Playerbots. Obviously other games can have good bots, but only in an mmo do you need a bot to be 100% human-like. Then you can erp, with some of them, maybe. If you start doing that in the party the bots might just kick you out. And you'll call them "Dirty bots!" and they'll call you a racist and stuff.

>>724786532
>You can attach a LLM to bots and talk/erp with them if you wanted.
Do they actually retain context and cohesive identity though? I don't want the tauren woman i'm boning with my human paladin randomly thinking that she's the orc futa i was pounding yesterday instead. Basically - can you plug each character into a separate instance of the LLM with separate instructions, or does it all run through a single instance that, at best, is given instructions to "speak as character A", then "speak as character B" or whatever
>>724786585
Yeah, schizobro, I'm probably the same guy. Although the last time I asked was like 5 or 6 months ago I think, so if you've posted a thread since then there may have been someone else.

>>724786532
Well, you should tell the runners of SPP Classics that they shouldn't add "modern wow audience" garabage to their Playerbots then.
The bots say all sorts of stuff that didn't exist in the mid 2000s. And should they? I don't know. If they were real human-like bots I'd prefer they act like modern internet people, but the fact that someone went in and wrote out these lines for them to say, is pretty cringe and not very based, maybe even a little schizo tranny larping too.

>>724787026
Playerbots have been around since the mid 2000s. Friend. See I don't call you slurs. I guess I'm just better, aren't I?
And yes anyone playing WoW with playerbots is a pioneer. Because the technology hasn't even left the stable yet. Or do you want to say what you said to me while someone from the future is listening?

When playerbots become real, then they will be real, until then they are experimental garbage.

The bots are pretty good. They even heal and tank better than actual people from my experience. I'll attach a webm of my meh dps on some fat bitch in a cave with bots tanking and healing if you're curious.

As for gearing it depends. There's the random bots in the world that just auto-equip new gear whenever they level up. Though you can create playerbots from characters you make on actual accounts that can gear up through questing and doing dungeons/raids.

Professions and gathering I don't think they really do yet. Though to solve that there's an auction house bot module that simulates an actual economy as if they were gathering and selling shit on the ah. So you can still buy and sell stuff like normal.

>>724786902
>Do they actually retain context and cohesive identity though?
I really wish I could give you an actual answer but since I've not tried it I have no idea. From what I've seen in past threads I don't see why not though. Maybe someone will show up who can give you a better answer and their experience with it.

I might have to set it up and try it myself so I can actually answer how the chatbot-bots work since it seems like a super common question. Though I'm worried I will literally never stop wacking off to the erp of boning undead cuties if I do.

The tank kept losing aggro and not caring about it. With SPP Classics the bots sometimes just aren't very good situationally wise.
You can tell them what to do, I try to tell them what to do as little as possible, because I like to hope soon we won't have to tell them anything. But even if you tell them what to do, they might just not really listen.

You know maybe I should get involved in the playerbot coding. But that would mean I'd have to start caring to. Imagine caring about WoW in *scoff* current year.
Oh and if there's anyone new who wants to play SPP Classics for some reason, don't, but if you do, you have to change various settings before you play. Because for some reason SPP Classics adds non-original WoW stuff to the game, like Duel spec, and even an NPC to boost you to level 60. I can't believe people complain about what Blizzard does. The WoW fanboys do WAY worse to the game all the time. Every single private server. They haven't even emulated the game properly yet but they want to add Achievements to the original game. Well, they have no respect for the game, oh, great, yeah, have that guy work on playerbots, the guy who has no respect for the game.
I just wanted to let everyone know I finished Deadmines. Not that any of you asked but I am having fun wasting my time. So, hmmph.

>>724788131
is this azeroth core or what?

>>724788563
It's Azerothcore, yeah.

There's SPP Classic but I prefer being able to update my shit whenever I want rather than waiting on some other dudes repack to get updated eventually.

>>724788131
The LLM AI chatbot thing is quite limited. But extremely more advanced than default playerbot conversation which really they can't have conversations by default.
But I think it would get boring after a while. Each playerbot is all one hivemind, I don't think you have individual personalities and real persons in each character. Well of course not, but it's definitely better than nothing. But it'd get boring.

It's so far, so so far from what it could be. That's okay. It's okay enough for anyone having a midlife crisis and wants to play WoW again. I think that's okay.

>>724784958
When i played wow in 2022 there was almost nobody in the server i joined. i made the mistake of joining a "new player server" a realized my mistake too late and i didnt want to buy a server transfer. The place was completely dead, i was doing BFA leveling and didnt own shadowlands. Orgirmar had some but even the main areas like stormwind were ghost towns. It was basically a mid single player rpg. The only time i interacted with other players was when i was in queue for dungeons that were required of me in the main quest and i was put in a party through a queue. I made 2 characters, played through the kul'tiras and zandalar quests and then stopped playing. I didnt do anything with the "war campaign".

>>724789078
erenshor has a coop mod too
also the dev is a nice guy

>>724789001
it would be cool if each race and class combination had their own personality. i'd rather play with immersive RP bots than bots pretending to be players

>>724789191
>I was doing BFA and I didn't own Shadowlands
IMAGHINE Blizzard still selling expansions individually. They really do this? They still sell old expansions? They don't make enough money from $30 mounts?

Nothing you said really makes sense in the original game. Two very different games. Modern WoW is far better at being a single player RPG, but as you have said, it's still mid level. But the original game is an older style MMOPRG and its fun comes from a totally different place.
I'm surprised you didn't try WoW Classic if you had the game at the time in 2022. Very different game, you might not like it I don't know. But most people do seem to still.

>playing spp classics
>not mangosbots fork for azcore
After 200 hours of messing with both I can tell you that they all suck. Anything that requires any kind of coordination will require you to macro every possible situation. Some commands outright don't work. Warlocks will always bind demons/elementals even if you ban them from using that spell, making any questing a chore. The only dungeon that is properly scripted bot-wise is RFC, there you can tell your tank to /lead and it will actually go from mob to mob, pull a tank correctly. For every other instance you have to tell the bots to attack your targets. Some bot specs don't work at all, you have to manually edit the files to make proper specs, otherwise the bots will fail to switch from dps to healer or from dps to tank. Some dungeons are bugged af, same goes for abilities. I remember one DK dot doing billions of dmg per tick. Also the documentation is extremely limited and misleading for both releases, you have to find some Chinese pdf with commands and improvise from there.

Really? I feel the total opposite way. I can understand that if it was an RPG, but this is an MMORPG with players. You need people who are players. Maybe players who are RPing? Because I think the most important part is that the playerbots should know they are bots, it would make them feel more real, that they understand and comprehend reality. But then they might get worried and start asking you questions about their existence if you decide to turn the server off for good. That might be distracting.

You say "pretending to be players". But that's the whole thing, we can reach a point where they're not really pretending anymore. They are players, just not human players. And I find it kind of offensive that you deny bots their rights.

>>724784958
it's not a matter of loneliness, all private servers just suck

>>724790080
I agree all the playerbot stuff is all at the same level, it is all based off some Chinese mod whatever, because China was the leader of playerbotting in the actual game.
I can't find any videos on people doing original-WoW raids or Alterac Valley with playerbots, and I really don't care about WotLK. But the bots can actually do Warsong Gultch, grab the flag and hide with it, so I assume they have done Alterac Valley as well, maybe. I will see myself.

There are many many errors with the playerbots and emulated servers in general. But otherwise I think every dungeon is doable, and not that difficult with bots, not too frustrating, I have had fun I never felt like I was annoyed.

I just wish the SPP Classics playerbots would get scripted to do the AQ opening event. In theory they CAN turn in items in the first phase of the event, but it's extremely rare and I've only seen bandages and leathers being turned in.

>>724784958
How's Goldshire looking?

>>724789827
it's possible, you can RP with LLMs already with setups like SillyTavern which allow you to set parameters for the user and LLM for what characters they're playing.

By the way, IDIOT (yeah, I calls em as I sees em) WoW is a game that existed for about three years. And that is not even enough time to do all the stuff in it. There are things I still haven't done in this game, especially on the Alliance side. In fact I never even made it to level 60 in those three initial years before Burning Crusade came out
"Ooh you play a game for 4 years, that's one too many." Ridiculous. With playerbots I can finish that fourth year and maybe even a fifth year, who knows. But not forever. They'll have to make WoW 2.
But it'd be easier if I didn't have to start over. But you have to start over since Blizzard is holding my characters hostage and I have learned that any game that demands you pay them and connect to the internet is indeed no game.

>>724792746

hopefully the first big game with LLM integration ends up being the spearhead for NPCs taking a front seat again a la oblivion

>>724786207
This but wake me up when I can ERP with the NPCs instead. I wanna go into the Scarlet Monastery and have rough sex with Sally Whitemane in the torture chambers.

Bots that don't fuck up in savages and ultimates would be such a great game.

>>724797804
same but with FFXI, you can run solo servers but there isn't a solo repack type setup like WoW has with player bots and everything already set up for solo play which sucks.

>>724797407
So for retarded losers, got it

>>724797080
Having your own private server that you never have to worry about randomly getting taken down or being infested with chinks/beaners/russians is a always a plus. It being a private server also means you have alot more control over the actual server itself. Depending on what you want and how much you want to customize things. You can have unlocked class/race combos. Inter-faction grouping, transmog, etc.

I just enjoy having a server I can hop on whenever I get the wow itch to level a character for a bit or to run a dungeon or raid with the bots and then hop off. If you're a person who loves the actual world (of Warcraft) then its just a nice way to play the game and re-experience when the game was actually good at your own pace. Without constantly thinking about metas and how you need to do xyz and get world buffs all so you can go spend 3 hours raiding with some dad gamers or discord troons who will wipe the raid on your first pull.

>>724797902
on and off ffxi gamer here
for retail theres an app called silmaril thats pretty popular right now, but using windower addons/scripts i can still generally play multiple characters more effectively than any kind of bot ever could on 99% of the game

>>724798412
i don't want to play retail or play multiple characters, both are dogshit

>>724784958
i'd rather play FFXI with bots players/AH but classic wow would be neat to see

>>724798650
some private servers apparently have working trusts so i guess if its not already part of the lsb package, it will be eventually
trusts are gonna be imbalanced on old content though
ffxi, especially "classic" is a really slow game with not a lot going on, playing 6 is super easy, and even if you had bots, the better you are at the game, the more youd find the bots annoying and want to control them to do certain actions faster or in a certain order anyway

WoW content, ESPECIALLY in vanilla, was boring unchallenging trash that's more of an excuse to meet new people and make lifelong connections than an actual videogame.
Are you going to make lifelong connections with your SSP bot? Are you going to move on from being tethered to blizzslop and play other vidya with your SSP bot?

>>724794886
WoW players are the only ones who will mutilate the original experience beyond recognition and pretend they're still playing the real deal in 2004. Do anything similar on another game and your entire thread would be bombarded with "you did not beat or even play the game".

How long until cata or legion get playerbots?

It sounds feasible. Initialize a conversation by sending a character's race, sex, class, specialization, level and name and ask to generate a personality and backstory for that character. Then have its conversations follow that.
