zero ratio bots should not accrue energy and/or should be unattackable.

Tried to say the same thing... :'(

0.0-0.99?

0.1 would not be zero ratio.

Neither would any bot with at least 1 win.

I always thought that the higher the ratio the more you generated per hour.

Nothing crazy mind, standard 20 for a 1.0 ratio.

0.01 - would be 1 or something 0.5 is 10 2.0 is 24

Etcetera

I think higher level bots should accumulate more energy than lower levels too

0 ratio = 0 regen sounds like a good addition to my upcoming "make dumping less attractive" update.

I'm not sure I agree, if you look at the ratio's of dumpers they aren't 0.00

The whores, however, will suffer the most and there is where the majority of players get their energy.

Plus, dumpers can just attack some 0.00's and up their ratio a bit.(implying that the dumpers are decent bots whored to transfer the energy)

I personally like 0.0 ratio bots due mostly to xp gain. I hate the high xp gain high ratio bots give me since it levels me quicker than my builds allow for. Even with full -int gear and 5 total int the xp gain would be quite a sum. I just attacked a bot with a 13 ratio to test this thought and found out I gain 1.7% of my level per win on average. It would take about 59 wins to gain a level, all for a gain of around 1180 energy. If you cannot gain energy (or a stupidly pissy amount) from bots with low ratios than you will have to do something about the xp gain from high ratios Ender. I wouldn't mind the 1 total int thing or xp reduction buff you were talking about though.

Just voicing my opinion.

I mentioned this in chat, but I want to say it here. I hope these changes you make do limit the effectiveness of dumpers(not a big fan) but I hope the changes you make are positive(bonus's for doing it the way you want) not negative(limiting something). Same result, happier playerbase.

Plus, dumpers can just attack some 0.00's and up their ratio a bit.(implying that the dumpers are decent bots whored to transfer the energy)

Competitive players naturally gravitate towards the path of least resistance for obtaining energy. None of these things I'm adding are 100% deterrents for dumping, but they do make it harder and raise the barrier for the tactic.

Zalfor, that will be addressed in the update as well. So will a lot of the other things that have been brought up in this thread actually.

I is happy camper now :)

EVERYBODY GETS A FREE COOKIE!

Bu really, I'm glad to hear of the changes. I was kindof hoping they'd be this month though :( But hey, Endermas is coming.

*steals Zal's cookie*

*grabs cookie off DNM and runs*

Endermas. Nice Zal. You should trademark that. :P

bump. still a good idea.

Anything lower than 0.1 = no regen.
