Openbot Versus Glider Test Diary

[utarda]

To the OP, the GUI problem is from Hardware Cursor. Toggle it. (WoW interface options) Should fix your problem.

Also, the running in circles is most likely bad map data, or bad routine.

Keep it coming though, I'd like to see the 1-70 comparison.

Yeah I found that on the OB forums last night, thanks though.
I have a lot of mapping data. I was using default one I think.

The running in circles is usually an FPS problem, you can fix it by making sure that the window is currently selected (increases fps) or just turn the video off in config. Also, as someone said the problem with the UI is because hardware cursor isn't on, you must turn this on in video settings, I was struggling with the same thing!

Good Luck

Turn the video off? What?

Thanks!

There's actually an option under the configuration tab that allows you to 'Disable Video Rendering', or something along those lines.

Ah yes I saw that, what will it do?

it all comes down to the person using the program, i have used both and have had far more success with glider. i can easily glide a character to 60 in less than 20 days (16 days average) without playing the game myself. then from 60-70 i run quests when i can and run glider otherwise. takes me 12 days or so TOPS to go from 60-70. i could probably reduce that too. if you're having problems with glider, you either a)aren't doing something right, b) something is up with your profiles or c (which i assume) aren't usong glider elite, which gives access to custom classes and makes things 10000000000x better. while i don't have the experience with openbot that i do with glider, i have used it a little bit, and while it is a good program, i prefer glider in terms of stability, security, and speed.

I have elite.
I am using oobermage.
Glider isnt as nearly as secure as OB.

In essence, it will stop rendering the game world but leave your UI and the OpenBot panels visible, which improves performance because there's rarely a need to watch where your bot is going once you're sure that your mesh is connected.

You clearly havent set glider up correctly... i got to level 10 in 2hours using glider. Then for around 12hours go to level 15...

Is that just something you say to be smart or what.... with 2 huge ban waves last year, IN A ROW - that almost set OB back to ground zero, how can you say that glider is not nearly as secure as OB.

That you cant manage to make glider do as much xp/hr as OB is your lag of knolege about the bot.

I have been using both bots for some time, mostly glider coz i have 2 years expirience with it.

I find them both good in each there way... OB looks very much like a human with trading, traning and switching to new grind spots if being followed, but often i also find the xp/hr frustreting in OB, coz each 2 lvl it is going to trainer by flightpath, but cant take the flightpath back again, so there goes 30 min with running back to the profile.

While glider looks like a bot (in most cases) but it gets the job done fast and with high xp/hr coz it is not wondering of suddenly to train and switch profiles and so...

Overall 2 great bot's!
