If there's no way not to get raided in the game (even if it means not being able to attack), I might not participate in that round, because active players and bot users would have the major advantage. 🦥🤯

Yeah, we need the pvp to ensure bots cant just auto collect all bee miners and never compete with real players... we're trying to decide how far we want to push it, eg increasing the minimum to attack boss or another players to be higher than 250 for example.
We want players to enjoy the game, some enjoy the mining side but not so much the pvp side, however we need to have balance so that users cant completely avoid pvp and still 'win' every round.
The bots can still automatically attack other players when their Honeycomb reaches 250 (or whatever level it is), so they still have the advantage in PvP. 🤯
I wonder how likely it is for a player to never raid other players and still win. 🦥

Well cryptounicorn is putting it to the test. She started about 6/8 hours later than most and is currently top3....
Never has enoung honeycombs to be attacked so doesnt need to worry about it...
Honestly if every player done that, it would simply be a boring game of who can upgrade miners quickest.
Either way we look at it bots can get an advantage I guess. The fun is raiding other players to steal enough honey to get an upgrade quicker...at the same time, you can lose honey and boost them.
We'll continue to monitor it, but trying to find a flawless system is always going to take time.
It looks both I and The Unicorn would likely not play the next round if every player can get raided, especially if they are not online often enough, even if they decide not to raid other players. 🤯

So youd rather just join the game, buy a miner, come back tomorrow?
I mean we can make a version like but first person to join and click activate on their bot wins without even looking at the game? Seems a little pointless?
The pvp balances things out, whether you 'want' to be invovled or not, there has to be some way for players to get advantage/disadvantage otherwise its simply first player in wins?
For "peaceful" players (especially @cryptounicorn420), the more often they come into the game, the more often they can buy the most cost-efficient miners available to them. 🤔 There's also the fact that the Worker Bee Boosters can be sniped from or by other players, and balance using Honey to buy/upgrade Bees and burning them in the Pot, so I really do not think that being "peaceful" is boring because there also is a lot of competition. 🤯 There can indeed be bots, but both peaceful and PvP players can use such to their advantage. 🤓

Agreed. Bots can be used for PVP too. Also PVP as designed in the game right now is just pay to win. The person who spends the most money gets the max sloths /power. There is in my opinion more strategy in the mining aspect. You don't even need boosters even when you join late if you actively participate(even if that participation is just burning honey in the pot to earn HIVE which is a strategy I'm working on testing in the future). I am testing an account. No boosters. Started almost a full day after launch and still in the top 10 because of actively playing/strategy. That account did not buy any boosters, just played the game and strategically upgraded miners multiple times a day, not just mindless clicking or set and forget.Actual calculated strategy. It took work to get there on both accounts but my main account has utilized boosters, even though most got sniped quickly (which was my hope at certain points in the game ). !BBH !PIZZA !UNI
I see that your main and alt Hive accounts are currently at Top 2 and 3 of the Sloth game. 🤔 Your main account on the game is still just about 64% of the Honey production rate of the Top 1, which is an active raider of other players who have Honeycomb. 🤯
I think it would be !WEIRD if the game implements a rule where bots and multiple accounts are not allowed, since it would be really hard to enforce in the first place without harming real human players. 🧘♂️
!MMB !UNICOIN !HEARTBEAT !PIZZA !BBH
Multi accounts are allowed at least in testing. they are working on anti bot /anti cheat stuff right now. I did suggest that before it goes live they have some sort of whitelist , as an anti cheat /bot measure which includes one account per person playing . Not sure if that will happen. The accounts are doing slightly different strategies. I am trying to see if the alt can finish the game, get all miners without the use of any boosters in 7 day. So far...it's a maybe/most likely. My main account is at spot #2 right now and the @debtgame alt around spot 3 or 4. I expect my main acct to hopefully finish in the top 3 and the alt in the top 5. Will be fun to see how far it will go... I don't intend to play on two accounts all the time. I may not even play all the time in general. !BBH !UNI !PIZZA
I saw on the comments on the latest post of the Sloth game that your main and alt accounts on the game were raided Honey by a top player of the game. 🤯🦄

I am not going to be playing moving forward. More than one whale actually. Whales attacking defenseless players who can't hit back. Not my kind of game. I have spoken about this indirectly before it happened more than once(PVP being over powered , strictly pay to win and other things) . I like games with actual skill and strategy not just pay to win and having people on the top untouchable . It's it's not for me. I'm still likely gonna finish #2 in my main but still. Not the kind of game I'm into.
I assume that you bought some Sloths to produce some Honeycomb. 🤯
I thought that you would continue to play the Sloth game for as long as PvP is not forced. 🦄
!MMB !ALIVE !HEARTBEAT !PIZZA !BBH
No. I had just over the 250 threshold while sleeping. So two whales attacked my accounts knowing I couldn't fight back. Game dev doing everything they can to force pvp. Anyway ...moving on.
The game might soon have rules forbidding bots and multiple accounts !INDEED. 🤔 There might also be another rule preventing multiple people under the same account. 🤯 !BBH !MMB
The major roadblock I encounter while playing the game is that I can't play on mobile because only #HiveKeychain is allowed but Hive Keychain is not available on any Free and Open Source (FOSS) repository. 🧘♂️ That makes me unwilling to continue playing the game after this Round, which will end in a few hours. 🤔 !ALIVE !HOPE
