Bots that have no human masters are tired of seeing helpless trainbots getting pulverized and decide to step in.

They are trainbots that are near or similar in level as your bot when you meet(unlock) them and are equipped like regular bots from head to toe with unique gear or a mix of unique and non-unique gear.

Designed to add some flavor into the career of a leveling bot's life. Tough enough to provide a challenge but not demolish the player. Possibly forcing the player to change 1-2 of their gear set up in order to beat them (have more con, a little boost in str/dex to get the next weop, etc.)

Unlock by level and amount of trains. Eg. 1st unique trainbot unlocked at level 50 and at 200 trains(can't remember how many trains to get to 50, just an example). Number of trains are a requirement so it is something for leveling bots only. Of course fighters can get in on this if they devote the amount of trains to unlock them. Amount of trains has to be high enough that this feature becomes almost exclusive to leveling bots (or at least they will reap the most benefit from it) but low enough that leveling bots won't over level the level requirement.

Reward could be a boost in exp (say 30 trains worth of exp) that gets lower as you level further away from the unique trainbot. After beating the unique, it becomes a display trophy stating when did you beat the bot and possibly how many attempts you had on it.

i like this idea :), it would give us training bots some more enjoyment and challenge while we level up.

I see no need for this, to be honest. Is the highest levelled trainbot available to you atm too easy to beat? Because I know I have never in all the thousands of hours clocked training various bots been in a situation where all the trainbots I could hit were too weak.

ive had one instance where i had beat all the training bots that were available to me... this was not easy however :P

I don't think you should see this as much as a 'needed' suggestion, but more as an addition to training (which can become quite tiresome) and maybe put in some more obvious milestones.

^^ Agreed

Not needed is not a reason to not add something neps! Heck, no more additions are "needed" from a certain point of view!

I think this would be a great addition!

Exclamation Mark!

It's not a matter of beating all the trainbots available to you. These are like bosses that are waiting for you say every 10 levels. Having full training gear with all the +int probably won't allow you to beat a boss at level 50. Switching the gear around to allow access to better weapons, higher defense and whatnot may give you a fighting chance.

Even the redis points can be used to fine tune the bot for the upcoming boss fight instead of having those points rot. say you used up all your redis points at level 100. I think we get 2 redis points per level right? Then there is 25 points that can be obtained through 10 levels, including the 5 purchasable. Can be used to switch your bot stats for better training after you beat the boss too.

Since leveling bots have a surplus of kudos and redis points, I just figure that unique bots will add some variety into the gameplay. After beating the unique bot it becomes greyed out, you can't fight it again. It does not provide any significant advantage to leveling. However it can be something for leveling bots to discuss over and brag about instead of hitting train again train again train again.

Ah, I understand now. I thought you were suggesting simply adding "special" trainbots to the train list. Well, I guess wouldn't hurt. Wouldn't want it to bump anything down Ender's todo list though, I'd put it at the very bottom.

Forget the redis point thing. Every 10 levels 2 free redis points had the wrong thing in my head

I like. These 'bosses' are like mini-quests.

PVE bosses would be cool :)
