Scheduled Maintenance - Early Tue., March 26th, Patch 1.7.3

It's patch time. From the official forums:

New Users: As always, after this patch drops, Buddy Wing will need to be updated in order to function. You can visit this page to check the bot's status; a version number higher than 980.372 will mean the update is ready. Please be patient as larger patches mean more work for the developers here.

Cheers,
-D

 

Aevitas has been kind of quiet lately. Is he out of town or something?

 

He was online earlier, so I figured he had seen this post. But on the off chance he didn't, I just sent a PM.

Time to go see what the outside sky looks like..

 

Too bright

 

Lol we are like 3 of maybe 5 people that I ever see on the bw forums anymore. Dammit I wish we had more support for this. People need to buy more I think lol.

 

Well, as of the current time, this thread has had 121 views. I think most people just prefer to lurk.

 

I think a view counts everytime we load/refresh the page, and I jump around on which computer I use... 100 of those could be just me lol.

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

Now let's say they have 100 people that buy 3 license each @ 12.99Euro per 90 days... that would be 433 Euros/month ($556). I seriously doubt we have anywhere near 100 regulars, and that would only be $6672/year. No wonder they don't want to throw more man power at it, really not much money there . Dammit people, start to support swtor again, and pay up!

 

lol. Great minds think a like... or we're both just impatient.

 

so how long will this take... its been a long time not complaining just want to know if i should go to bed

 

There's no way of telling. Aevitas is aware of the patch, but this one might take a little longer than usual. If it's late where you live, I say hit the sack.

 

Yeah, usually the turn around on patches are way faster than this. Big back end changes this patch or something?

 

well idk. but buddy team as always been kinda sluggish. but i mean if they arnt gonna provide full support for a product why continue to host it? kinda rediculis in my opinion. i was gonna star plaing swtor again cuz im getting bored of wow. but ugggh. -.-

 

Because most of us would rather have the program in it's current state than not have it at all

 

in its current state? u cant even use it so whats the difference?
and if they arnt updating it like they should be. then ur screwed when 2.0 comes out.
so why continue to support it? im sure theres far better bots out there. lol

 

and 15 dollers for 3 months for a program with lil to no support/customer service. = rip off. just saying.

 

They actually discontinued Buddy Wing for a time, but the community here pleaded with them to start selling subs again. With all its issues, BW is far and away the best grinding bot available for the game. It's also the only SWToR questing/grinding bot which can run on Isboxer and virtual machines. So for those us earning a bit of extra cash, it's a choice between BW or no bot at all.

Most of the bot issues are a result of the horrible condition of the game's code; according to some of their previous posts, the developers here spent a great deal of time on BW, and consider it more cleanly coded than Honor Buddy. But crashes, freezes, etc. are unavoidable issues with the game itself; also, because of the poor way the game is coded, some functionality which exists in HB is not possible in BW.

Anyway, the team here will continue to keep the bot updated, but additional upgrades and added features from here on out will probably be few and far between.

For those of us selling credits, you can make that money back in one day with a fully leveled character. And keep in mind that as it is, the money they make barely pays the salary of the developer who keeps it updated. For me it's more than worth it, but I guess whether it's worth it for you depends on what you intend to use it for.

Cheers,

well i dont sell anything i use it for personal use -.- so ya -.- nope. although i was wanting to get into selling some credits. but. if no one really makes a reliable bot whts the point? and im not interested in grinding bots as tht is very fishy. or space botting. thts just dumb lol but guess ill have to find a different game if this one doesnt get updated. lol

 

will there be a notice when the bot is functional again?
