The Santa Bot

Yes my idea is to either improve the reward for the killing the Santa Bot or do away with it.

Its nice to have something special to shoot at! However its kinda of a pain (the opposite direction thing, not being able to pick stuff up thing), and waste of ammo for what you get.

So my idea, is basically stated in the first sentence.

Now its up to all of you, to give your opinions. PLEASE do so, since my last thread was closed and deleted, due to the fact that polls are not allowed in this section.

BTW...Thanks to Seraph for the quick response to what I said in Speakers Corner!

 

It will be gone at the end of the year

 

i agree its very annoying but its different.

my two main issues with the santa bot is that when im hit with directional change, I cannot pick up anything. my other issue is that the rewards from santa bot is crap, the rewards needs to be improved, at least twice the reward it gives now.

 

The cargo is decent. However, it does give a very crappy reward. I don't think it should be removed, just improved.

 

No more reversal rocket, better rewards, passive until shot upon. I would be happy with those changes

 

I don't really like the Santa Bots, especially the direction reversal. It really screws things up when you're trying to chase someone down.

 

that's your victims Christmas present an ecape from you

 

Haha. Too bad there isn't some sort of rocket that players could use to change other players ship direction.

 

Do. Not. Give. Them. Any. Ideas.

 

LOL!
It would definitely change PvP up a bit.

 

Be nice if they fixed the fact sometimes it doesn't give rewards. Also really cant stand the misdirection zap thing.

 

me to it is my least favorite thing about it

 

Passive, nah? It might help DO find the bots. Ever thought about that? I wonder what happens to a bot when it get hit by a direction change rocket I like the Santa-bot since, it is only seasonal Hey noobs, it is easy to do the mis-direction by going the other way with the mouse - now.

 

Nothing happens, the bots click the mini maps so to say, so they always going somewhere, and the misdirection thing wont affect you if you're on a path. plus bots know how to counter it after they need to move again.

 

The directional lightning is the only thing that sets this npc apart, it shouldn't be taken away. It is not that hard to circle, you're just doing it backwards.

 

That isnt the problem, you clearly miss the point of this. It makes it hard to hunt, and it makes it hard for some to run, that misdirection makes me and others lose a lot of kills and gets a lot of people killed.
