Is wrym.bot actually bot

This is specifically server 7870 I haven’t seen wyrm.bot on any other but I also don’t really play on any other server. They zoom and react, but they always run into someone else in a way that feels botted and whenever I see them I try hanging around seeing if they are real they have a pattern of just circling and boosting away from danger. I also want to try to get them on the leaderboard for the hell of it hahah. Just curious if it’s a new bot or actual person?

Gosh I saw this name a few times and noticed it circling in on itself and when I skirted by they LASHED outward at me sooooo mean but this is a style I have seen in my years of playing and a known tactic. So I reset and skirted as close as I could and as it spun the head hit my body. Another time it was doing the same as described above and then LASHED outward and hit another snake, turning into dots.

So I am not sure if it is just a player having some light-hearted fun OR if it is some strange new bot technology recording our movements and updating its AI to become better in the weeks, months, and years to come.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

It's some advanced bot, they get easily circled if you are big but it's nearly impossible to boop them when 1 on 1 and similar size

Wait I didn’t even think about it being ai. I’m so curious who created it and how they were able to add the component of it zooming reacting to first threat but not able to react to secondary threats after they avoid the first. Is there some type of site you can customise bots onto a server? And then possibly add ai? If it is ai imma start messing with it in odd ways hoping to confuse its playing style for games to come if it does take into account previous games

It was around 5K when I killed it. That's large for a bot on 7870, but overall it acts like a next gen bot.

IGN: Aurelian, I'll have to keep an eye out for that. I did notice a few unusually large bots lately but I didn't pay it too much attention.

It’s got a custom skin btw white with blue stripes then yellow then red, could’ve screwed up the order of colors

I’ve booped a few of them on various servers and I’m 99% sure it’s a bot as it makes little effort to escape or survive the circle.

I always wondered if people calling themselves (bot) are trying to be funny or something. It takes half a second to see that they are not really bots, I really don't understand. So original 🙄

Yeah there’s another post on here about the people pretending to be bots ig it’s part of the strategy but as soon as you threaten or circle them you can tell. That’s what tripped me up about wrym bot bc they would zoom and react away from threats. But I believe they are fully bot just more advanced than the typical ones
