Assault Bots No Longer Smash?

I was wondering what exactly happened to assault bots. The patch notes said assault bots no longer smash but I dont see any difference in them. What exactly got changed and why? It seems random to have changed it. Were people complaing about whatever they changed?

it is a change for combat text only.

Oh is that what it is. Well thank you for explaining it for me I had been told by several people several different things about what it was

Yes, totally correct here. And it could have been put in the test notes better worded, I think. :P

They basically removed some " " quotes from around the word smashed. It used to read "smashed" in combat text, which is wrong.

No change in functionality, I've tested it.

yes, it was text change only...course it was funny reading all the DOOOOOMMMM posts from our local emporium of nervous bot mm's.

And it was basically a change to the PvP combat text since in PvE the combat logs don't report pet actions. You would have to be on the recieving end of the Assault Bot smashing you to see it. That fact only added to a lot of the confusion.

BTW, how many of you people have been smashed by an Assault Bot?

Actually the question had been asked back when this change was put up on test on 2/16. This is the first red name confirmation of what most people assumed the patch note meant.

Sorry, folks. I was being a bit too flippant when I checked that particular bug fix in.

Heheh, I think this is the second time that Castle not being serious about the patch notes has caused some craziness. It seems we have found his greatest weakness.

Can I be Flippant too? Because I told everyone to check their "battle spam" when this topic was posted in the Training Room. But did they pay attention? Noooooo

Also from that thread:
"A 3 page topic asking what it means, and it means they fixed a typo. The devs must be laughing their [censored] off at us right now -.-"

The patch note was incomprehensible to anyone who doesn't pay attention to combat spam (me). Castle admitted it. It's all over now and I can continue my life happily.

Although the question remains, why has my assault bot stopped meleeing sometimes? It's weird--and I attribute it to the text change. (satire)

That wacky Castle!

If you ask me, you weren't flippant enough; you forgot to add the bold and colour tags to SMASH.

You are excused this time.
