Hey... A few things that doens't make sense in my world and i wish to be implemented asap. The missing option to set the pause timer to how long you wish to wait at a pokestop, and how often. Each time i make a random pause at a pokestop, it takes 15 mins before it starts up again, only to relog, find a new pokestop before the next random timer is startet.... Typically the timers are 30 mins and 45 mins or something, for the first 2 random pokestop pauses... Either let us modify the timers and frequency of the pausing in a file, or add the ability to modify that in the bot, rather than just make it on / off. Catching with the bot, is an improved catching method, meaning you will always get 210 exp with a throw and successful catch. It needs to be random from regular catching to exceptional catching. Catching pokemons as we are now, makes us easy detectable targets... Who would in their rightfull mind catch 50 pokemons`, with insane throwing abilities, giving them 210 exp per pokemon in a row? No one... You have a higher chance of winning the lottery! Should be random or the ability to determine how often we want to make the different throws... Like, do we really want to catch them with regular throws to get 100 exp per throw, or should the lowest catch be 110 for a fine throw? The more humanlike way would be randomly throwing with given attributes on a slider for instance... That's something which needs to be implemented FAST! Hope staff get the time to review these things, and hopefully implement the catching thing, as that... Got me a bit worried...
yer the throws not being random is a huge thing to me.... maybe only save perfect throws for super rare pokemon.... use random for other pokemon some straight some curve some misses even!
Best solution to the throwing, would be an ability to use sliders on the different types of throws made... Normal, Fine, Great, Exceptional... So for instance, you will have this option for the different types of throws made -> Dragging one, will move one or all of the others, always ending in 100. Then before throwing, make a dice roll (1-100), letting the random dices number, choose the form of throwing technique. The hard part, comes to the rare ones you want to catch... Should you go for a direct 210 exp throw? Or let it randomize the throw once again? This option could be similar to the transferring option, which ones never gets transfered... But in this case, which ones you want to use 210 exp throws on, with ultra or better, plus rasberries... Adding a pokemon to the list, would then skip the dice roll, go for a direct 210 xp throw, hopefully catch it and continue on it's journey for more. That's my idea atleast... It could be done, and very easily aswell as it's simple implementation for these hardcore buddy's Doing so, would make it all just a LITTLE more safe
The human-like feature could be like the sliders or the random interrupt times we see in HonorBuddy. I hope those who are currently using the bot haven't just completely blown our cover.
I really like Deus83 idea with the sliders, would be great. Also as mentioned "stop at pokestops" is just useless right now. Let us set our own timer of how long we want it to stop at a pokestop.
using a secondary account until something like the random throws are implemented... That way im able to keep a good eye on what happens to that account, and possible improvements to the bot.
Seems like the most logical move. I'm just worried for those of us who have noticed it too late. Not everyone was banned when Blizzard caught on to something similar to this. Hopefully most of us will make it through if Niantic drops the hammer.
Indeed, best to hope and cross our fingers that a buddy staff member will see this thread, and hopefully moves it up on the ladder on TO-DO things...
Don't freak out atm lol the throws are not server side, and if any has recieved a soft ban you got nothing to worry about. 1 or a couple soft bans doesn't endanger your account. I had to log in to my 4th account and see why it wouldn't connect on the PokeFarmer and then went to Santa Monica after. I didn't get a soft ban lucky me but my other 3 have at least 1 since I rushed from Seattle to LA.
It's not freaking out, it's a precausion on the long run. I'm not saying we should all get banned now, because we use the bot... I'm saying, on the long run, they will learn to see the possibilities of finding the botters, through enhanced throwing. The throws aren't server side, the xp gain is. Randomizing the throws gives it a more humanlike look, as if you tried to throw a pokeball yourself. Doing the exceptional throw each and every time... Well it's bound to get some attention one way or another...
Even if the throws aren't server-sided they should be able to notice the odd amount of EXP we are getting and the frequency of which we get it.
Could be great if there were some kind of list, of the things staff currently was working on, in prioritized order or something... So we would know what were to be expected from the bot. Lots of things i would love to see improved or implemented, but there's only so many hours in a day, that prioritizing stuff is needed... How about it Buddy Staff ?
UP! Please add this feature ASAP! and I have a question... how do I know if I receive a soft ban? I just used the bot and I haven't seen anything unusual so far D:"
Soft bans are when you can't catch ANY pokemon, as they will flee.... You can't use pokestops, or win battles in Gyms... Soft bans can be removed by going to the location you normally farm (not the location u jumped to), and spin a pokestop till you will receive your items = softban removed.
