you will have to take care entirely of the movement, placement and the mechanics,
Yeah I must of missed where this was said. Even if I were performing the mechanics I still don’t think I’d have much fun with it though.
custom scripts for specific encounters in order to teach Miqobot how to navigate during the battle and how to deal with certain mechanics.
This is where I was deriving the bot doing mechanics.
Either way it goes, I don’t know how much I’d use it. Like I was saying, it will be a marvel to see it work…but raiding is what I like about the game. Crafting and gathering, those are just tools that I don’t mind handing off to Miqo 🙂
I personally wouldn’t want Miqobot to report any statistics or information back to the internet
Well I’d definitely want some of the statistics done on the bot just so we can figure out how effectively we’re spending our time with the bot. Optimizing our routes is going to become very complicated once we can move from zone to zone or even changing jobs and the like. It’ll be a lot easier to optimize that time if the bot tells us after stopping:
117 “insert fish name(s)” caught, 34 HQ, 14 got away, 2 lines broke, 1 lure lost in 2h 34m fishing
272 “insert rock name(s)” gathered, 45 HQ, 1 dragonskin map, 1 wyverskin map in 2h 31m mining
1h 7m was spent moving between nodes
5m was spent flying from teleport to gathering areas.3 tells were received from users: x, y, z
1 party invite from: x
As for sending it to the website, I know some people are more worried than others so it’s important we keep that as optional. I’m really thinking of it more as milestones for “avatar bling” here in our community and as the status pings to make sure the bot is working. I don’t really see the stats being a security risk myself.
But remote chat, yes that is a bit risky and needs to be secured before I’d mess with it.

http://en.ff14angler.com/timetable.php/?collectableI wonder if the bot could be made to utilize these resources? FF14Angler is a great site, though sometimes the weather isn’t listed or isn’t forecasted very far out.
Does anyone else have issues where some of the words and the bottoms of letters are cut off in the bot screen?
See attachments for examples. I am running Win10 64bit, program is running as admin and display scaling is off.

* Do you want to have any kind of statistics on the website?
It doesn’t have to be on the site, stats in the bot would be fine. Stuff like XP/MGP per hour. Tracking totals would be a ‘neat’ thing too. Like how many crafts/kills/levels/MGPs you’ve earned with the bot ever, these kinda things. You could even do achv’s on the website. Sadly, all my stuff is 60, so, haha…I won’t be earning any lvl up awards, heh.
* How would you like to deal with navigation errors remotely, when Miqobot gets stuck?
If you are confident in Miqobot being able to find her way around the maps then teleporting to the nearest aetheryte might be good. It’s also a better place for the bot to AFK than out in some random spot, should it fail to continue doing what its supposed to do. Speaking of, I’d like for the bot to auto set AFK when it finishes doing anything. I have auto afk from the game turned off, because I alt tab a lot. But if I’m leaving the house, I’d like it do it.
* Would you like to be able to read & respond to game chat online?
Yes I would like it, but its a less important feature to me.
* Are there any concerns about privacy?
If you mean people hacking our forum accounts to gain access to our character information and chatting as us, I suppose that’s legitimate. Gonna have to get creative on solving that before I’m gonna be good with the bot chatting in game remotely. Definitely warrants an optional secure activation of that specific utility for the more security conscious folks as well.
Oh what I meant Miqo was that she needs to know to not stand in the AoEs. I was still thinking about Seph at the time so I’ll use that as an example. Not standing in two of the players AoE’s after they’re marked with green markers and getting behind the boss.
Many of the tougher fights are all about positioning. I’m curious how Miqo would handle Blaster in A6S where there’s similar mechanics. Lining up for mirages, not stacking markers and finally baiting them towards the tank. Pretty complex for a bot to do…and what about when another player fucks something up? Yeah it won’t be Miqo’s fault if another marked player stands too close to Miqo while she’s marked but adding to the mess by not moving isn’t good either. Swindler is a whole nother thing; recognizing the number of orbs over someone’s head, stacking if needed and seeing whether you’re on high or low platforms?
Fights like that, having a bot do it for you is just really taking the fun out of the game IMO, even if it is possible I wouldn’t want to do it. Raids are about the only thing I log on for so I’ll not encourage that development, but I will be amazed if you can work it out!
Even got asked by a friend who saw me running from one “Out on a Limb” to another if left or right side is better xD
I’d go with “Well this is Final Fantasy and therefore it depends on the time of day; if the Eorzea time is an even hour its the eastern machine, odd hours are western so that you face the appropriate direction while gambling.”
My position on the app/website deal is if it’s built into the website android/apple/windows phones will be able to use it along with any PCs. So unless there some advantage to making an app…
I also think we should keep it realistic. I just wanted to see who’s interested in the idea as Miqobot has been very responsive to requests in the past but…I don’t think remote control is gonna be something we can get off the bat here.
PS I wonder how many people know that these mini games were actually from 1.0 and this is how gathering was done…?
This guy remembers 🙂 The blind gathering…the copy and pasted trees…the glory of a game unborn…heh.
I do agree about the back to back limbs though I haven’t noticed. It’s been minimized for the last couple hours, nearly done with Fenrir too!
Another thing that would be cool is if it tracked your MGP/hr for you, but its entirely cosmetic.
I’m beginning to see a trend where I just don’t understand the complexities of things…so I’ll take your word for it, lol. I figured the bot was constantly talking to the site as it was and the site to it. Verifying licence and updates etc. So I thought it would be easy to link bot with your login on the site.
Issuing commands to the bot while it thinks its running may be a trick, but just seeing what it was doing; I thought it’d be easy.
