I just noticed that I can buy ordered items even if I don't have the requirements. Pretty sure we needed the stats to buy anything in bots2.

I never tried to but an arrived ordered item in bots4 without the stats but agree that i remember it in bots2 aa being unable to buy it or it should be so..

But leave it in place that u can order it without having the req stats.

Yep, we should need the requirements to buy just like normal buying from the showroom. Otherwise people with lots of stars can just order up and buy all the future weapons/armours they need real fast. i.e. Always optimum builds with no camping at all. Too much of an advantage to star users I think.

It isn't like you can equip it anyways. When you buy an ordered item it automatically goes in your stash.

It makes things a bit too easy the way it is now. Especially for redis bots. People in the know can make an army of bots with very little time/effort.

  • Make a lvl1 bot
  • Put 10 stars on it
  • Train or fight kudo whore and order+buy lvl80 answerer weapons and armours (1 per day = 5 days and full set. No camping)
  • Train or fight ratio whore to get to lvl80
  • Equip all armours and weapons from stash at lvl80
  • Done. lvl80 perfect bot in a couple of hours of playtime

Needing the stats to buy the items slows things down a bit as you'd need to get the str requirement to buy the armours. This will only happen once you're close to the desired redis level. Also, can only buy the weapons once all the armours are equiped. Plus you'd have to plan your ordering in advance, thinking about what stats you'll have when the order comes, as opposed to just ordering anything and stashing it for future use. Needing stats to buy makes the playing field more level for starless bots and noobs.

I don't see a problem with this.

Working as intended. It's a bonus for star owners.

Hmm, ok. Will have to wait and see how things pan out once the game matures and there are more ratio whores. My guess is we're going to see level 80 perfect bots with two hours of playtime.

You'd still have to wait 5 days for all the orders to come in, by which time you could have already camped the bot out. Besides, if you have all these items sitting in your stash you aren't going to be able to use those spaces for holding spares of your current gear, str boosting gear, etc. I don't think this is much of an advantage at all.

The advantage is time. Zero camping, zero thinking. Just order up items you need, stash them till you get the base stats to wear them. Very little playtime required to make an army of bots. Have to wait 5 days to finish orders but only need to log on for a minute a day to buy.

Doesn't really affect me though. I'm just trying to show what could happen in future.

Star owners already have huge bonus of easily equipping items without stats ;)

Aren't stars designed to reduce the need for camping? If someone would prefer to wait 5 days so as to not have to invest any time camping, more power to them I say.
