Personally I will miss the auto-follow and healing/buffing of fellowship mates. I used it often while dual logged.


Is/are there any plugins that can do this separately?

Is there a plugin that will replace the buffbot feature? I have a bot setup for a small monarchy of mine, and it helps for my friends to just get buffs from the bot when I'm at work during the day. Most of the plugins I've seen require you to be there to click a button to buff someone. Any suggestions? Thanks.



Castaway is probly the most 'complete' buffbot program available right now. Einstein It! has some bot capabilities, but is not as robust as Castaway.

^Ah thank you sir, you'd mentioned castaway before, wasn't sure if it's an actual bot program or not. I'll definately check it out, thanks.

I only wish Elgar the best. All good things eventually change, or come to an end. That's life.


I will miss Eltank when it is gone, as I wouldn't be playing AC without it. I truly enjoyed the fact that Eltank (with Decal) were the ONLY add ons I needed to play AC. Eltank did it ALL.


Not sure I would enjoy AC without Eltank. Not sure I would still pay for two accounts if I didn't enjoy the game any more.


Time will tell!

he reason I mention this is there is NO mention of this at all on the Tank forums - and I'd certainly think a "final" announcement of this nature would surely be posted there of ALL places!

Actually, there has been a post there since the day after he decided to quit AC (last Thursday). It is quite long, very explanatory, and gives a lot of reasons why he is chosing to do what he is doing. It isn't hard to find.

I too would like to thank Elgar for his wonderful program. I used it for all my ACMing needs, as well as my buff bot that services most of Harvestgain.


Other programs may fill it's void, but they will not be the same.

If Eltank does break because of the New Decal it would be nice if the Decal Devs gave the option of upgrading to the new Decal. Also keep the current version of Decal available for download so others who want to use Eltank can. If this would cause a memloc issue then of course this suggestion would not make sense. However, if the old version can exsist with the new version of decal then let the fans keep there Eltank

While it probably won't be a forced upgrade, I find it very unlikely that the Decal devs will continue to support the old version of Decal once it's upgraded to the New View System. That would mean that if something changes in AC that breaks the old Decal, then that's it. Also, I'd assume most plugin developers who release new versions of their plugins for the New View System will stop supporting the older versions of their plugins; though I guess that wouldn't be an issue if you only use ElTank.

Such a fine line of what is the real issue on this thread.


I thought this was about Eltank. He stated he wouldn't release the source... SOL imho.


MOVING ON...


Sure, someone would/could add the same features... But why?


It's now at 6 years and people who develop are JUST NOW figuring out that some of what has happened with decal/ucm/ac should be fixed?


Minute late and a dollar short?
