New multiboxer making videos

[Ziyall]

Hey all.

I'm a new multi boxer, I have 5 hunters in World of Warcraft (as my main team), and I'm also a YouTube video maker. I did this intro into Multi Boxing for my subscribers, to let them know what all the fuss is about, I hope that you'll like it, and that I will be welcomed in the wonderful World of Multi Boxing. =)

Welcome, and nice video. I wish more newcomers would post videos like this

I like the discussions you went into. It's always interesting to hear different perspectives on things like "automation". Pretty much anything you use on a computer can be described as "automation" at some level, so there's plenty of opinions on it that are completely nuts. "When I press A it presses B that's automation", or "When I press A it presses both A and B that's automation" and so on. Actually pressing anything on your keyboard and something happening on the screen at all is "automation". Isn't abstraction great

The way I explain it in terms of MMORPG gameplay is like this... "automation" is when something happens when you're not directly making it happen (e.g. an "autofire" button on a gamepad where you turn it on and it continues to perform), and a "bot" is something that can automatically respond to things happening (e.g. by sensing low health a bot might know to heal you).


Looking forward to more

I agree, it's nice to see videos like this.

However, after you said in your video that you weren't sure your team was going to make it to 85 before MoP, I noticed that you're only getting rested and group experience. Why did you not take advantage of the Recruit-a-Friend feature? If you chain your accounts together to take advantage of Recruit-a-Friend your entire party gets 300% increased experience from level 1 to level 80.

If you've never played with RaF before then I will say that you're missing out and may want to re-start your team to take advantage of the offer. I see that you are only using Draenei and a Night Elf as your backup Hunters so I'll assume that you've only purchased the base $20 Vanilla/BC game and, if that's the case and you haven't added Wrath and Cata to those game accounts, then I would recommend starting over -- You'll be back to the mid 20's in absolutely no time at all.

If you do start over and your 4 newest accounts are attached to your main's BNet account, you will probably want to strip them of everything, delete the characters, and have Blizzard detach those 4 accounts from your main BNet to make room for 4 new ones. You can only have a max of 8 WoW accounts attached to any BNet, so if you were to actually start over you'd have your main account + 4 old + 4 new and that's one too many. Might as well clear the old ones off the account which will require a call to Blizzard customer service.

EDIT: Upon further investigation... RaF isn't available in your country is it?

I like! keep'm coming!

Well its a little boring watching you do all the looting, maybe next time save the looting until the very end and turn off the video first.

Welcome to the forum. Wonderful post for your very first.

I suggest playing the boring looting part at a faster speed, and slowing down for the interesting parts.

[Ziyall]

Hey guys.

Thanks for you suggestions, and I agree with the last two responses, looting is a little boring, and in hindsight I probably should have edited out, the aoe loot coming in MoP is gonna be wonderful. ;-)

To MiRai, I do have all the way up to Cata on all the accounts, the reason why I chose a few draenai is because the female draenai are hot. ;-)

But yes, normally the RaF isn't available in Denmark (some stupid marketing laws prevent it), so I have in the past changed my residence to Sweden when using RaF, to get mounts and such. But now, with Diablo 3 out and the real money auction house coming, it's not as easy as changing country any more, so chances are I won’t be able to use the RaF, unfortunately. So I have to do it the old fashion way, by slow grinding.

The nice part is, that I have learned more about how to manage my pets across all characters, and I'm getting close to the magic level of getting Thunder Stomp on my pets, so that will probably help a lot on the levelling part. Besides, it gives me the opportunity to make some videos on the instances and learning more about controlling multiple characters.

I choose to avoid RaF because I believe the game is better than the end-game.

Oh, nice video

There is a fairly easy solution to the melee-range issues you are having with your slaves. Make a Mapped Key in your Combat Key Map, called something like "Slaves Back", set the Hotkey to Ctrl-S or Ctrl-DownArrow or something else you can easily press during combat (the best choice will depend on how you normally move your main around), set the Key Combination to "S" and the Target to "Window: All w/o Current". Finally, you will need to set the "Hold any Keystroke Actions while Hotkey is held" to "On" for this Mapped Key as this is a movement key.

Pressing this at the beginning of Combat will cause your slaves to stop following your main and move back. Or you can also use it during combat to move your slaves back from your main. Of course, you will need some easy way to make your slaves follow your main again, the default Hotkey is Alt+F.

Most importantly he has the gift of gab. Most of the other boxing videos lack it. Since he is a baby boxer he could create guides from their perspective. Mebe lax could commission him to make some guides.

Same. I've got a few 85 teams but stacks of levelling teams. Way more fun
