I'm a new user but I have used bots for quite some time and have the most experience with HonorBuddy. It would be a great goal to aspire to. (the ease of use/functionality of)

I haven't spent too much time with Minion as of yet, however a few things I could offer as far as being incorporated (aside from the obvious of course)

A bit more user friendly of a GUI. (its simple but to a fault) Think GUI GUI GUI :) Not only will it help your users but appearance wise it will look more professional and draw in a ton more users for your bankroll :)

Apart from that, a big one I would like to see that I was disappointed to find not available is the saving of your interface. I spent a TON of time resizing and organizing my boxes and the layout, only to restart it and find everything gone back to default again! UGHGHGHG!! Obviously I'll have to deal with it the way it is now as their is no point organizing and resizing when unless I keep the bot running 24/7, after the next restart it will reset anyhow.

Now to be clear, far as I can tell it saves the actually "settings" ie: parameters such as grind/class choice for skills etc. But the layout/ui no such luck. This would go a long way towards people being able to set things up how they like and use the bot in an efficient manner.

Other than that, duties are a huge one. The more automation the better obviously :) To be fair, you have a long way to go but the foundation is there and that's great :) The better the bot becomes the larger the sub base the larger the sub base the greater the community and the greater the community the more it will aid the bot itself with luaModules (botbases) and other great things such as automated profiles for xx class 1-50 or crafting xxx of item xxx.

Oh, another cool thing would be traveling profiles. ie: want to go here click xx and the bot will automatically run you there.

And finally, I see the Radar which is cool.. and im not sure if FFXIV has named mobs like most or practically all other mmos' do, however if it does (HNM's for the people who only played ffxi, generally called Named mobs however) It would be cool if the radar would differentiate so we could see say... a buncha red dots for regular mobs and if their was a yellow one in the middle we would know it was Named. An easier way to farm or get the phat loots :)

Hmmm oh one more thing, I see a checkbox for say teleport or speed.. but theyre placed in odd places and I don't see much of a way to control either. I understand say a teleport checkbox for automated teleporting while gathering (I know its dangerous etc) which is kind of why im saying this. I wouldn't imagine many would use it. However an option for teleportation we can control, and speed would be awesome. I know basabots released one for free (it has long been out of use due to lack of updates) and it was extremely simple. A check box to enable speed and/or teleport. A slider to select how fast you wanted to travel (top speed was OBSCENE) and a pair of boxes to select either static or hotkeye'd and if hotkeyed which button to use either. The teleport was simply a teleport to target. Worked on npc's or pc's or mobs. I would LOVE to see this/these added.

As far as bugs, one that seems to not be working right is the checkbox to attack mobs outside of fates when on your way to/doing a fate. I will have a train of mobs chasing me and ill get to the fate and get raped. Would be so much easier if while running if he aggroed a mob, he would simply stop and kill the SOB! Let alone at the fates he just ignores whats beating on him and continues along w/ the fate. This is with or without the box checked (tried It in reverse I figured it may be vice versa but no go either)

Rough around the edges but im enjoying it thus far! Unfortunately I have found leveling by hand to be much much faster which surprises me and disappointes me. trying to catch up to a buddy and he's pulling away when I choose to use the bot lol. Probably wouldn't be the case if their were still tons of people doing fates etc.. alas without consistent fates your only option w/ the bot is grinding mobs its seems and that is dog awful slow >.< and expensive! For every level my gear basically breaks from the sheer number of mobs you have to kill which amounts to spending gil you didn't earn in the first place because your grinding and not doing leves/duties ect (cause they aren't in the bot yet)

Anyhow this is plenty long :) Thanks for your hard work!

1) How much time has passed
2) How many mobs you've killed
3) An average of how many mobs you're killing per hour

This is a beautiful program though, thanks for you and your team's hard work!

cool idea and it made me think of another thing. The "console" I selected it to try and diagnose what was going on with my character when he kept teleporting out of battle. (still haven't figured that one out but I think he may have literally died each time and I somehow missed it.. so .. another topic nonetheless) Anyhoc.w I found the "console" only included info such as Started bot/Stopped bot... but not the activities of the bot as he went about his business. What command made it do what its doing etc. Similar to what appears under BotStatus. But that's just a single line. I see their is a log option but if it logs out of game to a file, meh! If it logs in the gui such as to the console in real time, great! This i'll have to check. If it is not the case this would be great to have to aid in diagnosing a million things. Or for things that aren't diagnosable to share with others who are more savvy.

(something tells me this is something in here and I have to find it :P If it isn't in the context in which I explained it then perhaps it can be adjusted to work this way. Anyhow... back to trying to use this thing efficiently :)

For example, I want to create an aetheryte script that will teleport to all aetheryte locations and attune. Would be cool if the bot could run to the map, load the x,y,z coords, attune, and run to next map location.

THIS! for sure

Now now, lets be honest! Its a good bot, and has the potential to be great... but you musnt have used Honorbuddy before eh? (don't get me wrong, I detest wow and what it has done to the mmo genre as a whole, however due to its popularity having the best bot ever made by man was an inevitiablity considering the money making potential.

Oh!! I got moooooore :) You have me on a tangent now! Im sure this goes along w/ the auto questing and such but seeking out /completing hunting logs would be awesome!! As well as a way to set the bot to keep up a food buff or eat a particular food. Or how about setting it up to use potions if say your a class without heals or ethers if your a magic class etc. Items in general you know :P I'm new at the game but Im sure its a safe bet their are all types of items to use later on and/or clicky items/equipment for that matter. I know it can mount for you automatically etc already.

I'm sure much of this has already been thought of but I figure just in case ill post what runs through my mind, is missing that was available in HB, or that I run up against in game and find myself wishing was available.

OH HUGE ONE!!! GET THIS WORKING IN FULL SCREEN!!!! /LIFELONGCUSTOMERATTHATPOINT!!!

most of these things you are asking can already be done... like food buff or running to specific points... the bot comes with 100% meshes you can put nav marker down anywhere you want and then hit the button to take you to the marker you have selected or you can use the teleport mod that has all the points on the map for every zone and teleport directly to where you want to go... postions are horrible in ffxiv for healing or MP they give back very very very little HP. every class can have heals just have to get the cross class skill. and if you find leveling by hand faster then botting thats normal it will always be faster to lvl by hand but you cannot level by hand for 72 hours straight..... thats whre bot has the advantage set it to do fates fates only and you will see a world of difference...

in 25% of cases occur after loading the bot fly game. because of this prihodits bots run on another computer that is very inconvenient. and one of the accounts I do have 10 days can not load in any way on any computer - it takes some time. On the other hand bot really works stably. but you have work to do - error correction takes modules

Thanks for all of the requests and bug reports - 95% of these are (surprisingly) doable and we'll try to work them into our upcoming release schedule. I believe HQ crafting has already been added and we're working on fixes for the relogger currently. I'm going to add a window tracking system this week so that the interface will be persistent, and also try to get a testing pvp mesh with the walls removed out in the next 24 hours.

one thing I would want to know about the upcoming duty scripts. Is there anything stopping the bot if say I have 4 bots running a script for wp, if one of my bots dcs is the leader still going to queue up for duty finder causing me to enter with 3 players 1 real player then start teleporting all over the place.

discussion is about "time" is it not? things that aren't in the bot that we want in the future. Honorbuddy didn't come out the door in its current state, not even close. If your going to waste even half a breath trying to imply honorbuddy isn't the more capable bot, save it. Your just fanboy'ing.

That isn't to say this wont have the same or more features in the future, nor to say the author of this bot is better than that or vice versa. Simply put, HB has had MUCH more time to mature and its community which is larger by a fairly sizeable margin has had more time to work its magic.

As far as the UI, certainly you can debate aesthetics considering its all subjective. However, for most I think Honorbuddy would win hands down by a mile considering it even HAS a gui :P You could argue minion does as well (and you'd be right) its just completely minimalist.

None of what I said was meant to be condescending so untwist your panties, im here not in wow, im paying for minion - not another bot... and I intend to be for a long time. (although if we're honest, wow is jerking at my leg to come back, I hope ffxiv end game is even half as good)

Aaaanyways, to add to what I have already listed. Would be great to add the ability to use your battlechicken too. The other night I couldn't figure out why the bot wasn't doing anything and then it dawned on me... the chicken! and put it away and naturally my problems were solved at that point. However I don't need to state the obvious. It would be a welcome and im sure planned addition :)

F3re can you give us any indication from the list of suggestions what would not be possible with the bot. It is a good thing that 95% of what was suggested is possible as there has been a lot of great suggestions.

you must be skipping over things in this bot.

you can already eat and keep a food buff up.
you can already repair
you can alrady keep your chocobo companion out to fight with you.
you can already move to markers or locations on the map with 100% meshes.
you can already teleport to any place on the map.
you need to look in the mod section of the forums
