MultiFAILer

[Mooni]

In this thread, please post your magnificient failures.

Hello, Dual-boxingers. We usually get into talking about how big our rig is, or how 25-boxing Naxx was easy.
Let's go the other way for once. Who is the biggest fail multiboxer you know?
In my case, it's me because we're not very social creatures. I know there are others on Moon Guard, but haven't actually met them.
Summary of Qualifications:
-I just hit 80 last week.
-I raised a DK up to 70 before deciding to stick with the paladin I already had in place.
-I can only do one heroic: Utgarde Keep.To get any useful badge loot (40 badges) I'd have to run Utgarde Keep ten days straight.
-I wiped 6 times on Meathook(heroic), and only beat him because I spammed LHW the entiiiire time and took a runic mana potion and used mana tide totem.
-I wiped on Svala Sorrowgrave twice, but now she is the only boss I can beat in that instance(heroic).
-I thought things were finally going right, because I beat the first three bosses in HoL(heroic), but then wiped on Loken 8 times in a row and didn't come back because of respawns. One of my shamans has under 12k HPs.
-I couldn't even kill the first boss in AQ40.
-My PvP is weak because people can kill me extremely fast, and I'm stuck with my paladin out front since I ditched shaman #5 to make room for the paladin. Once, I one-shotted two people at once (80s from the top guild on the server). Then 3.0.8 changed Elemental Mastery so I can't even use gimmicks to kill anymore, and 4 chain lightnings do about 20% of someone's life now.

I'm sure there's more, but I've depressed you enough. Sorry! I meant to make you feel better about yourself. Anyone FAIL more than Mooni?

-I just hit 80 last week.


and this is why your failing with heroics, it takes gear to do heroics and you need gear for pvp, dont get to upset that your not wipeing the floor with every challenge that comes your way.

still plenty of time to turn this all around. just get the gear for it

[Hachoo]

However this thread could have promise if people start listing something totally "fail" they've done as a multiboxer (like running off a cliff with their main on accident and having all 4 clones follow them off).

Biggest fail for me was starting a quest that involved hopping on a plane - I have an addon that auto accepts and auto chooses options on all 4 clones, but before it could duplicate my "hop on the plane" click, my main's plane took off and the 4 clones turned and started following it - right off the ledge.

[elroddo]

Just do the heroic bosses you can, no need to get obsessed with full clears until your geared. If you can get a few bosses on clear everyday plus UK you'll get your gear faster, and be able to do full clears.
As for failure, during my raf period I got one group of a warlock and 2 priests to 50, and a 5 shaman group to 45. That's all in 90 days, a lot less than everyone else who got 5 groups to 60 or so it seems. Maybe it had to do with me just starting, not sure.
With my lock priest crew I got camped by a single rogue, my level over and over again. My pvp skills sucked, needed more macros but not sure what. I'm thinking pvp on my boxed teams isn't going to be a priority, because to me its no fun getting beat up all the time.

[Turenn]

There have been lots of mistakes made along the way, but I consider my self pretty "good" now. I have 4 heroics instances on farm, the only thing that is hindering my 5man progression is that I don't have much time to do it. Seems that I spend most of my time raiding on my resto shammie.

But, my one BIG failing is a pretty stupid one which keep getting me killed because I am too lazy to just fix it. Sometimes under the right circumstances I scroll to a differant action bar on all my toons but my tank, so it takes me a while to notice, and when I do it's almost always way too late. All I need to do to fix it is the change the keybindings a little.

I did same thing forgot they were on follow not once twice but 3 times ive done it now. Master hops on goes for ride and all i see is 4 slaves falling to thier doom. Hence to say non of my slaves ever did the surfing the harpoon /sob.

Oh yea another thing. You play on a designated set of 5 get use to the macros and keybindings then you goto another set and goto fight something and die. Done this to many times because you forget what buttons to push. I wonder if theres a way to save each set of characters to a different set of keybindings instead of moving spells around whenever you switch grrr grrr grrr.

[Hachoo]

Hah I had that problem once and then I immediately went into keybindings for all 5 chars and unbound shift+1-6 :)

[Mooni]

I scroll to a differant action bar on all my toons but my tankTHAT has happened to me plenty of times too. For some reason it usually happens when I'm grouped with another player but still running a few of my own.
Like I'll try to hit my "everyone but the tank sit and drink" button, but accidentally summon 3 Earth Elementals (after the fight is long-over)

[Mooni]

still plenty of time to turn this all around. just get the gear for itNot upset at all! Otherwise I wouldn't post here.
I was pretty upset after one of my shamans dipped down to about 22g in the pocket, from too many repair bills, but that was last night. Now I'm highly adjusted to how jacked up the power-gap between level 80 instances and the easiest heroic is.
With us, the multiboxer crowd, one wrong button means a wipe on a boss fight.
There are a lot more wrong buttons on a keyboard than right buttons. So with bosses other than Loken, I don't have anyone to blame.
I hate this part though - it was the same way with TBC. You have the absolute best gear from non-heroics, that means you're nowhere near ready to tackle heroics.
If I was able to clear every single instance non-heroic, wouldn't it make sense that I could at least take an unavoidable AoE hit from a boss? And what's up with me getting critted for 7.9k when my defense is at 559?
The last sentence is a result of me being a FAILUS MCFAILWAD FAILY FAIL FAILPANTS, nothing else.

I did that too! :)

Let's see...I hit 70 with my team, went into ramparts, and got my collective ass handed to me by the first mob.
Ran through 1000 Needles as Alliance, not realizing/remembering killing the guy at the top of the elevator flags you for PvP, and having an 80 Horde hunter pick off every one of my team in under 60 seconds.
Flying through Icecrown and hitting my mount/dismount button by accident. EPIC fall!
Finishing a long fight/quest, and finding out one of my team does not have the quest. Done that several times!
Hitting the wrong button during a boss fight, and my team mounts...instadeath.
Thinking I could /follow over the chain in Blackrock Spire. "AeeeiiiiiiiIiiiiiii.....splat"
Hitting a strafe key by accident bombing Pirates in Northrend. "Aeeeeeeeiiiiiii...sploooosh"

Yeah, I just realized, my toons fall a lot. I was like that in vanilla too, my rogue "discovered" Un'Goro by falling off the cliffs mining in Tanaris. :)

It's that, or getting overambitious with my team. I took the quest in Dragonblight, "My Old Enemy", and got smacked so hard and so fast I left the zone and quested elsewhere in shame for a while.

The last sentence is a result of me being a FAILUS MCFAILWAD FAILY FAIL FAILPANTS, nothing else.They're called Heroic, because...they're hard? LOL :) There's a reason people are QQing about DPS on the WoW forums, every player who hits 80 heads right for a Heroic pug, when the progression is to get geared and gemmed and enchanted in normal runs to get to Heroics. I think Blizzards one big mistake in Wrath was removing the Heroic requirements, they could have made it a little easier, but no requirements means everyone is ignoring normal mode, because "it's not worth it". Learning your class is forgotten, too, so everyone is overgearing instances to make up for it. Not to insult, but you're kind of doing the same thing. Don't get me wrong, I get overambitious, and think that because I can nuke mobs outside of dungeons means I can do the same inside them, but the game proves me wrong pretty quickly. Yeah, i could take my 3 80's and try the first 5 man, get through some trash, but trust me, I know I'll wipe hard on the first boss - I don't have the gear to make up for missing 2 other players (and there's the fact that I don't have a tank or dedicated healer).

My team is soon to hit the crafted/ah/rep wall, and they're pulling 12-14k easily - entry level for Heroics, IMHO, but fine for normal runs, and there's lots of upgrades in normal I could use, along with the rep. I could pug them for instance gear, but honestly, I'm not much interested in that yet. When I can afford 5 accounts, then I'll get into that. I'm actually kind of looking forward to getting my DKs into BC, and rerunning that content. I don't know why, I just am, so that's my goal for the next month or so, along with finishing Icecrown with my 80's. That DK on the Alliance transport is keeping me pretty busy right now!

I'd say, forget Heroics for now, use normal runs to get your reps maxxed, make some cash, and learn the strategies better. You just hit 80, you have plenty left to do besides Heroics. :)

This is a great thread. It serves to make those of us who are still working on coordinating our teams feel better. When I hear some of the stories about "mistakes" or messups, I LOL and realize that I'm not alone and that it's all part of the fun. I just need to sit back and have a laugh at myself and the situations that come up. Like the time I had my latest duo out questing and stumbled across Stiches. I targetted him to confirm his level and without thinking, hit my assist and attack button. Needless to say, I got creamed. I sat there stunned, mumbling, "I cann't believe I just did that". :)

[Xar]

A while back in Howling Fjord I was trying to either get to a quest npc or a mining node on a small hill. My main made it up but the other 2 were stuck trying to ride up to the top. I hit the space bar and my priest and pally went flying over my head, passed me, turned to face me then fell down the other side of the cliff and died (epic land mounts and crusader aura, lol).

Reminds me of my early days as a young rogue, a couple of weeks after the game came out. A couple of horde, who would go on to be notorious on our server, came to Goldshire. They were some of the first Horde to make it there, and they were - holy crap - 60!

They danced with us a while, a few foolhardy Alliance dueled with them, and then they sat and we were doing the emote thing with them.

Being curious - rogue, remember? - I clicked on the Undead guy to inspect his gear.

He stood, spun to face me, loled, and before I could figure out what that little shield was on my portrait, *boom*!!!! Instagib.

That day, i learned the following:

How to flag and unflag for PvP
What an HK was.
You cannot inspect the Horde.

Good times. :)


That player was very famous on our server, Dragonblight, I can't remember his full screen name, but the short version was Mal, and his real name was Ryan. I ran into him often after that, and always made a point to /bow and /dance with him, and he'd dance back. He later died in a car crash, and they held an enormous memorial for him at the ruined tower near Tarren Mill (he was a world PvP junky). His wife logged on, and made a small speech, and someone in his guild logged onto an Alliance character and passed the comments along. It was a seriously touching moment, and hundreds of players showed up - and there was no griefing or jerks doing anything disrespectful. His wife logged his character out, and for a long time that tower was known by a lot of players as Mal's Tower. Several players in my guild went with me, and we paid our respects, and the female guildie with us was bawling her eyes out on vent. It was very touching, and it was amazing how many Alliance players respected him. I know from talking to Horde players, he was one of those guys who played at 100% at all times, but would help anyone if asked.

That was the day I discovered there's good people playing this game. I've been losing that sense ever since, it was that kind of community that drew me into the game.

Wow, that's totally offtopic! :)

[pinotnoir]

I was full of fail yesterday. It was the first day I started doing heroics with my fresh 80 team. My mages only have 1060 spell damage and my druid healer has 1420 healing. The druid is geared ok I guess but my dps is pretty weak right now. My pally has 533 defense and about 24k health. He is ok but I wiped too many times to count on the instances I ran. I told myself to suck it up and keep trying until respawns. It took me awhile but I cleared gundrak, nexus, uk, drak except undead boss all heroic. Until my guys get better gear it's going to be tough. The last boss in nexus owned the shit out of my tank everytime she enraged. I cant remember how many times I wiped at 3%. She hits my guy for 10k a pop and I just cant heal through it. What I did was pop all my mirrors, elementals, and then tranquility after she enrages. Once I did that I was able to burn her. I will try again tomorrow and see if I can repeat the kill.

Now if these instances would drop some damn gear I can use besides shaman mail and hunter mail items. I swear thats all that dropped yesterday.

[d0z3rr]

I died on Drakkisath in UBRS yesterday with my 71 prot pally and 3 68 boomkins.

That, sir, was the point. Now I'm new to doing things with points, so good job catching it.
Yesterday I was reading in some mouthbreather forum somewhere about tactics on some heroic or other. "He's easy, just DPS him down. Don't let it go too long or you'll run out of mana"
If someone's having a hard time, I wanted to let them know they're not alone.
Yeah some days this is easy and you've got it all together. But even those days, The Game comes along sooner or later and lets you know that deep down you're just a level 1 hunter killing rats with your 0.9dps dagger.

[Starbuck_Jones]

My biggest fail.

One of my first 5 man setups was a client on each computer. Problem was, one of the systems was upstairs. Every time I had to accept a quest, or click a dialog box for a group, rez, death, etc I had to run upstairs. I started to hate escort quests as much as collection quests. More than once I was not able to accept the escort quest fast enough.

Several times ive spent an hour plus getting to the bottom of an instance to loot someones head only to get to the quest turn in and find one or more toons had either forgotten to loot it, or failed because their bags have been full for the last week and I didnt notice.

PvP. Many times at lower levels my entire 5 man group is killed by a high level toon with one aoe spell.

[Coltimar]

1) assumed the two year old would keep his hands to himself

I spent 40 minutes getting my new team to the gates of strat. While taking a whiz my 2 year old pushed F1 and hearthed everyone back home, lol.

[glo]

Biggest fail for me was starting a quest that involved hopping on a plane - I have an addon that auto accepts and auto chooses options on all 4 clones, but before it could duplicate my "hop on the plane" click, my main's plane took off and the 4 clones turned and started following it - right off the ledge.I ran off the cliff outside wyrmrest tower, if you run out and follow the road without looking you get a long fall with plenty of time to think about how much of an idiot you are before going splat.

I clicked the surfing on rockets quest without realizing I was going to take off this caused my followers to not only go off a huge cliff but to get scattered all over in the water and on the cliff surfaces in a way I eventually ended up spirit rezzing two of them after spending far too much time trying to get everyone back to their bodies.


Reoccuring Failure for me:

I use a dual-bar setup. Bar 1 PvE, Bar 2 PvP. I swap back and forth depending on instances vs. questing / ganking. Basically makes my healer and tank DPS.

I often zone into instances without changing my bars back to "PVE" then wonder when I wipe miserably. lol


I use separate bars for pve and pvp, the # of times I have been on the wrong bar smashing a button and wondering why I wasn't getting the expected result is embarrassingly high. The worst is my #3 bar is a utility bar with bandages, food, pots and that type of stuff forgetting to switch back and spamming away on those buttons does nothing except waste your stuff and get you killed ;)

Missing picking up a quest item on one of your characters or one of them not getting credit for something and not realizing until you have run half way across the map to turn in a quest or hearthed, or going to do a quest and one of your characters didn't get it because their inventory was full.

How about a single rogue keeping your entire team busy messing with your main, that is embarrassing.

[HPB]

Aldor rise.

'nuff said.

UC Elevator of Death + /follow + Troll Female Main on Raptor (So tall that she that gets stuck in the doorway) = Everyone dies, yipee!

[Siaea]

How about when one of your toons is still in combat when you hit your flying mount hotkey (pretty much anywhere in Icecrown)...and don't know till Jamba gives you the /raidwarning "Seiae: Low Health!" Seiae has died.

I do that at least once a day :(

I think that is a requirement of boxers to sequentially kill your alts. Mine was the harpoon "flight-path" thing in Howling Fjord. Never did it before and main gets on, alts follow, deathx4.

I feel fail as a WOW player not just a boxer since I stop and get stuff I like. I would finish the Wraithgate chain since I want to see the cinematic. I go get a nice wrist for my chars that is down a chain with a couple of collection quests in it. Can I make due with what I have, sure, but the ones I want are better. I don't rush to max level. I like to aim for certain things that I feel will make me better. Some people rush to max and do heriocs, some (okay, problably only me), get nice stuff along the way.

I feel akward lately. I can't really do everything I could normally do in the past. I guess I am missing a healer. 5 hunters. 5 DKs. I feel like I should bench one guy for an instance run and get a healer of my own or a pick up healer. I just feel like the PUG char is going to make fun of me since I pay $4,000 a month to box and still can't do content. If there were enough elites outside of instances to pick on, then I wouldn't worry about instances. It just seems like the instance mobs drop better stuff and more exp. Not sure what to do about it yet.

Besides, failing is just a learning experience so you know what to do different next time. Edison, "I found 2,000 way to not make a light bulb."

[heffner]

I wouldn't even know where to begin....

It took me 3x longer to level with RAF compared to everyone else it seems. So, my RAF = normal everyone else.
I didn't know that you get a free level for every two levels you grant. So, I never planned for that and somewhat wasted a bunch of free levels.
I put my first teams main/tank on an account that was a veteran account. Doesn't seem like a problem, but since it was my main tank any other toon I leveled on this account needs to be transfered (i.e., toons to swap out with).

I tried the normal mode starter Northrend instances and got owned by the first boss. All info on the mobs I tried said they were really easy to do. Lol, not for me. So, I decided to just level to 80 and go back.
When vehicle follow was introduced, I was doing some quests and somehow my toons ended up all over the place and parachuting down spread out all over the zone. I had a ton of problems with this on various quests, thankfully there hasn't been too many. The worst is when you go into a vehicle and it "phases" and you can't see your unmounted toons - something I didn't realize even occurred so I am running around trying to figure out where they went.
I wiped many times on the elite quest mob in Zul'Drak named Drakuru. I didnt even realize he was tosses some AOE exploding crap until the third wipe. Didn't help build my confidence for doing instances!!
Missing picking up an item on ONE of my slave toons and having to go back and redo it.....or not being successful on a escort quest on ONE toon. GAH!!
I am still not 80 (very close though).

Check - first time I did Riding the Wavelength: The Bombardment my alts happily followed my flying main off the platform to their deaths


Aldor rise.

'nuff said.

Check - It's always a case of "I'm sure the lift will be up for a second longer"

The other occasional fail - I have auto dismount set up and sometimes when i go to type something in gchat while flying, i forget to hit the enter key and the next thing I know, my guys are falling to thier deaths. Usually happens very late at night....thankfully if I'm playing my druids, I can instantly switch back to flight form. :D

Cheers,

[not5150]

I failed big time yesterday. My instancing group is composed of a 76 warrior and 4X 75 shaman.

I was bored and cleared Magistrar's Terrace easily and since I was in the area, I went into the 25-man Sunwell Plateau.

Charged the first robot walker and the tank died in about 8 seconds. Rest of the party wiped in less than 15 seconds.

Rezzed, hearthed back to Northrennd to lick my wounds.

[Chaosomega]

o The fails.

Ive done aldor rise probably a hundred times. -100?

-1 jsut hit 80, yesterday.

But not only that, when i was doing the harpoon quest on tower of storms, i harpooned on to my own guy on his dragon, then harpooned off.

If anyone has done this before they know that the the dragon goes by bye and your other toon goes WAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! and hit the bottom of tower of storms like a minute later. Hilarious.

I was litterally killed by a shaman in hex form. My other two slaves just stand there.. like wtf?
And while in hex form the whole time (could not ebelieve it didnt break) he just shot me down.

[Vicker]

My PvE team consists of two dwarves and a gnome. Gnomes have trouble keeping their heads above water, especially when following. That gnome has drown, more that once.

[valkry]

For me F8 is ground mount while ctrl+F8 is flying mounts. Sometimes on a cliff I have pressed just F8 and gone running off the edge to splat on the ground. I've dopne this once while grouped with my mboxing mate who just laughed at me.

Also, while playing solo on my druid, I've jumped off Aldor rise, planning to shift into flight form, but I died cos I was mashing seal form and wondering I kept getting an error message :(

Hmm, and with a slight modification to size, leg structure and neck length, we would look like a Nazgul from LotR and Death Knights can be a passenger on top but only if they have a cool looking helmet showing 8)

I am still not 80 (very close though).YOU reminded me... first of all I never did find a good write-up on RAF benefits that explained that EVERYTHING would be gone the day the program ran out.
Sure they mentioned it 40000 times but I still didn't calculate this one:

I have one Zhevra. It's on my main. I will never have another Zhevra.


Then someone reminded me of DKs: Another of my "finest moments" was when I had to kill my best friend 5 times in a row because I decided to 5box 5 different races of Death Knight. I was a bawling mess for like 35 minutes after that.

[Khatovar]

My biggest fail moment usually come when I'm not multiboxing.

Stood in an instance tapping my Home {autofollow} key and getting pissed because my slave wasn't autofollowing...only to remember I'm solo and that's a real player. Check.
Tried to drop traps/Feign death/misdirect while healing. Check.
Tried to cast flight form only to discover that all I did was cast seal of wisdom before splatting to my death. Check.


While boxing?

Auto-followed my main off a cliff. check.
Repaired/reammo'ed all my alts except 1 only to have that one spend half the instance in 0 dur gear with nothing to pew pew with. check.
Spammed /s with 1 sentance + 3 lines of random gibberish. Check.
Randomly engaged bosses with a stray alt. Check.
Randomly engaged bosses with a mass of aggressive pets. Check!!
Spent an entire fight with one or more alts facing the wrong direction. Check.

[Kaynin]

My biggest fail.

One of my first 5 man setups was a client on each computer. Problem was, one of the systems was upstairs. Every time I had to accept a quest, or click a dialog box for a group, rez, death, etc I had to run upstairs.

:D:D

I've had tons of tiny fails like, dying from falling and such things. Can't really think of a really big fail.

The biggest I can think off of the top of my head is probably starting an encounter but someone asks me somthing just before, I pause and answer and quickly unpause, but didn't click the pause button proper enough. Took me a minute into the fight to realise I was still pausing and that's why my toons did nothing. :P (At least that won't happen again!)

[Raskaz]

I was doing Azjol-Nerub on normal with my hunter group (3xhunters, holy pally+Tankadin).

I wiped a few times on the last boss especially those pesky adds gave me a hard time so I thought, 'hey let my pets handle these'.
I carefully spread my toons in a half circle and then put the pets on aggressive, needless to say they all dashed forward and attacked the boss.
I was laughing so hard, I almost fell off my chair. I have no idea what I was thinking but it was hilarious.

[Danash]

1. On saturday with deathknights I quiclkly threw together one macro file and copypasted in all of my wow directorys becasue I was runnin low on time, took me one fight to releize that at the end of all the macros on my leader still had /cleartarget. Ya that sucked. /fail

2. Was so caught up with /G chat that first spawn/attempt at killing the flightmaster of opposing faction ended in the keyclone pause button still being on and main repopping alone allowing a near crapmyself sensation followed by a solo 3ish minute corpse run /fail

[Tonuss]

I don't remember all the details, but normal Hellfire Ramparts with a level 60 group was my first "legit" dungeon crawl. Until then I'd been PLing my group with a level 70 enhance shaman. I had leveled up a hunter separately to join my paladin, priest, mage, and warlock. Well, this was the first big test, a level-appropriate group trying an instance. I got everyone buffed up and had the paladin pull the first two mobs, and everyone is DPSing, and the priest is heal... wait, the priest isn't healing!

I don't even remember what the problem was or how I remedied it. I do know that somehow, the group managed to kill the first pull and I managed to get the priest to heal the paladin in time to prevent a wipe on the very first pull of an instance run. Then during the trash clear I wiped a few times and finally realized that something was messed up in my DPS rotation so that my mage (who was my most efficient DPS at the time) kept losing her target and nuking nothing. Without her DPS the fights were dragging, the priest would finally get healing aggro, and I would wipe. This is also the point where I realized that binding Fade and using Blessing of Salvation might be good ideas.

Consider it sort of a Fail Salad. Not a case of one big major fail, but lots of little fail leading to a very long time spent clearing to almost the first boss. It had a good side, I learned about keybinding and macros in a sort of crash course. :x

[Owltoid]

Due to multiboxing I have to plaly with all my video settings on low, including my view distance. For the quest where you shoot a harpoon at 3 buildings on the other side of a river, I was stuck for a good 20 min. I couldn't tell what I was supposed to shoot at until I finally turned my view distance to max and it was clear what I was supposed to look at...

I, too, have sent my slaves off a cliff due to hopping on something that causes me to fly. It's pretty funny when that happens :)

[Kang]

I continue to fail at healing 5-mans when I'm 2-boxing. I have a warrior and a priest and pug with 3 dps. For the life of me, I cannot tank and heal at the same time with a full 5 man group. I am using key clone and have different keys mapped for healing and tanking abilities. I even unmapped the f1-f5 on the tank so he doesn't switch his target, when the healer does. For whatever reason, I get flustered in the heat of the battle and wind up healing the priest about 5 times in a row (unintentionally) while the dps die around me. I guess I just need more practice. Any tips on how to improve are most welcome.

[Bigfish]

Tried to kill Hakkar with all the priests up this weekend. Wiped 2-3 times.

[Mooni]

For whatever reason, I get flustered in the heat of the battle and wind up healing the priest about 5 times in a row (unintentionally) while the dps die around me. I guess I just need more practice. Any tips on how to improve are most welcome.I do this too, or I accidentally hit numpad0 (which they have for some reason bound to "jump") instead of my numpad 1-3 heals. The only thing I find that helps is if I actually say the name of who needs healing, and their number, out loud. My roommate so far hasn't asked me why I'm yelling "Pomme.... onnnnnnnne" or "SHINGO THREE SHINGO THREE"
Maybe I should bind it to numpad2-4-6-8 or 1-3-5-7-9 so the position on the numpad matches their place on my screen/place in formation.

[Gomotron]

This thread has been fun to read mainly because think I have done most of these things with my own group.

Here's a list of my own, enjoy!

1) Autofollow death - countless times, although I did manage to autofollow the "Achievement" to fall 65 feet without dying as well. It was hilarious to see all 5 achievements pop at about the same time.

2) Wintergrasp PvP - now I suck at PvP anyways, but that place is lag city for me. I recall being camped inside one of the armory places and I had flipped to another screen to read about Wintergrasp (during the event, of course!) and an 80 warrior came in and just kicked the crap out of me before I could get back to the screen and start doing anything. Also, I lag like crazy because I need to turn down the graphics settings (I think) but I haven't done that yet because I like seeing all the pretty colors when I am doing my own instance grinding.

3) Quest - I pick up quests with my main and then Share them to get them on the slaves (when that's possible). Well, I can't count the number of times I have forgotten to share the quest so I have to redo the quest to get them for the slaves. It particularly sucks when the quest was to clear the bosses of an instance that I hated running.

4) Quest part deux - I load up the enchanter slave with items to DE but wait until I hit a town to actually do the DE'ing. Well, needless to say, she usually gets overloaded with stuff which leaves no room for picking up needed quest items. Since I have /looter installed, usually I just click and forget, so I sometimes don't notice when quest items don't get picked up. Meaning I have to go back and repeat the quest, after making sure the slave has DE'd enough stuff to make room.

5) Keymashing when the SHF (Sh*t hits the fan) - when in PvP or instance grinding, when things get out of control, I end up just mashing a bunch of keys uselessly. I am reminded of Old School when Frank the Tank talks about "keeping your composure. We can't freak out."

I could go on and on...

[Meeo]

Howling Fjord, Harpoon Surfing....forgot to turn off follow...

[Marious]

Good stuff, its funny but I done lots of what has already been mentioned, had my alts go plummeting to their deaths since I forgot that they are following. Healing with my priest or druid I am not very coordinated yet and they tend not to heal those that need it. Putting an insta cast spell on my pulling button, has gotten my shaman killed lots of times. Forgetting that hitting my auto follow does nothing when I am with 4 live players I do it all the time and it dont click until after I have done it. Typing to a tell or guild chat just to see that I hit one of the numbers and all my guys are being killed by the local guards cause I just attacked another player, oops my bad, and then I have to run and rez ><. So many other things, full of fail lots of time lol. Glad to see that I am not the only one.

[Falkor]

best fail has to be equipping you're flying mount to fly off the lift at aldor in shattrah but forgetting you have key clone on pause and watching you're slaves fall to their death :)

[Siaea]

I finally broke down and went into my settings and disabled 'Dismount while flying.' Leaving the airship this morning, I flew off with my mouse, reached up to my keyboard and put my fingers on "ESDF" instead of "WASD". E is my 'buff' macro. Needless to say, it was raining shaman.

[-silencer-]

My biggest fails..
- Thinking a paladin & 4x shaman could easily take down Princess Theradras in Maraudon at around lvl 45. Since this was my first encounter with a nature immune mob, I was 3/4 OOM before I realized my lightning bolts were doing no damage. Wipe. Next attempt finished her off with only the paladin alive, but I had used a ton of consecrates, flame shocks, and searing totems to take her down. This was the first instance where I actually had to work to defeat a boss.
- Thinking I could easliy take down the beholder (1st boss) of AC around lvl 65. After countless wipes, I "beat" the boss by running far beyond him, dying, and then self-resurrecting my shammies past his spawn point.
- Thinking arena would be easier when I hit 70 with a prot pally & 4x elemental shammies. The only PvP gear I had on my team was the main weapon for spell power, and I was really gimped using the prot pally. It basically meant I started every fight only 4 vs 5, and my record was around 2-18 before I decided it was pointless to do this without either another shaman, or an another player as the healer to replace the pally. The funny thing though, the guild I've recently joined on Kalecgos has the 5 players I slaughtered in one of my 2 arena wins. When I transferred my characters over and joined the guild, they all remembered me from 9 months earlier in the arena. :)

[suicidesspyder]

Haha new one. Just got flying nr well i thought i put all the same mounts on all the same buttons for two button mount for all. Well low and behold i was just having fun flew from nesingway to bt and realized one of my were still at nesingway on his deathcharger not his bone chicken lol. Man was i mad it was like omfgipwnd myself haha.

[genocyde]

I finally broke down and went into my settings and disabled 'Dismount while flying.' Leaving the airship this morning, I flew off with my mouse, reached up to my keyboard and put my fingers on "ESDF" instead of "WASD". E is my 'buff' macro. Needless to say, it was raining shaman.

I have kind of a running epic fail on this one. I have an N52TE gamepad. I use the little button above the thumb as a state toggle. Well my autorun just happens to be (toggle)5; while my Oh $#!+ macro is on 5. If you fail to let go of 5 BEFORE (toggle) then you get both keypresses and I watch 3x mage dismount and fall to their death along with my priest who hilariously enough casts guardian spirit (big gold wings) and joins them.

There was one shining moment to this though. I was running around doing dailies on my team in icecrown. Some horde ran up and flagged in front of me and started /y stuff and emote nasty things. Now I always ignore horde when I'm doing dailies cause, well, I'm busy. So I typed /wave.... That was the day I found out that my Instant death PoM macro on my mages is mapped to W on my N52TE and I forgot to pause keyclone. The horde bit 30k worth of instant damage as I looked around to see who killed him, then about /afk'd out laughing.

[F9thRet]

I wound up Pwning myself while trying to grab a gold begger awhile back.

Had a mid level Lock ,so I went out with a friend, to outland, found me a good rock, summoned Friend on the lock.

Then the old game of inviting the begger to the party, and summoning him out there went into play. Sure enough we got him out there, stuck on a rock. Sad thing was, I had forgot that my hearth stone had already been used, so my lock was out there also.

Lead many to there death via the gravity traps mentioned above.

Had fun with two tanks in ramps by casting Vigilance on each other.

Another time, Had my hunter use Misdirect on my tank, when my dog jumps in my lap, causing me to turn it off. Enter one dead hunter.

Man so many more I can think of.

[ragawaga]

Last night using my 80 lock to take my druid/rogue RAF team through sunken temple. I just killed one of the troll bosses who maintain the forcefield then I used the cursor keys to move out (they're not on the DNP list on keyclone). Not realising the rogue was facing the wrong way he fell into the chamber with the dragons and died fairly quickly. Hoping to be able to rez him with the druid...I tried to navigate him into place to get LOS.....then he fell to. By the time I'd switched back to the lock's window and got down...I saw the last swing that killed them.

I gave up with ST and rezed them at the healer.

[OogaJiggaWooga]

Spent an entire fight with one or more alts facing the wrong direction. Check.

I had to lol at myself for this one. I moved into the fight with the final boss (King Gordok) in DM North fairly quickly, walking up a crack at the edge of the platform and not noticing that two alts got stuck and didn't join me. Realised there was something wrong halfway into the fight, when the two weren't showing cast bars with the others, but by this time Gordok had charged and scattered my other chars around the platform. Finally managed to get three consistently facing the right way to finish him off, and was surprised I managed it at all.

Second lol today was realising that I hadn't cleared al the patrols in DM West when taking out the first boss, only to have them join the fight and wipe me when he had 5% left.

Third lol today (busy day) was in Hellfire Ramparts, fighting Vazruden and his dragon. I was using the arrow keys to move my shaman out of the aoe fire attacks while dpsing Vazruden down, but didn't notice I was only pressing the walk forward button each time until they overtook my tank, just in time to meet the dragon who had descended from the sky. Wipe and sigh..

[dubiox]

I just wasted about 300K XP and at least a couple of hours being 1 point shy of level 71. I guess you can't ding with the free wotlk trial. OOPS!

The leader has quite a head start now (it has a real upgrade).

FAIL.

Did the same thing, Had 4 of my 5 characters upgraded and 1 on trial as Blizz locked out my CC as I used it 3 times in a row. Handed in about 200k worth of quests and I was sitting thinking surely the other guy will ding on the next quest.
3 quests later I realised >.<

[Nekohs]

However this thread could have promise if people start listing something totally "fail" they've done as a multiboxer (like running off a cliff with their main on accident and having all 4 clones follow them off).

Biggest fail for me was starting a quest that involved hopping on a plane - I have an addon that auto accepts and auto chooses options on all 4 clones, but before it could duplicate my "hop on the plane" click, my main's plane took off and the 4 clones turned and started following it - right off the ledge.I did this. In Warsong Hold, before I started using Jamba, my main took the carpet ride and the other 3 followed him off into the dirt. Man I felt dumb. LOL

[Kel]

I have my mana/health up buttons for my two toons bound to the number pad numbers (using one comp, one keyboard and keyclone). Went to drink something with them and ended up scrolling the chat panel up. "No problem" I think I'll just press num lock, cancel auto-run on my main and drink like that. Then I pipped over to my alt and pressed num lock again so that she could drink too... you wouldn't think I spend most of my day working with compouters.

[Powerwar]

I am doing multiFAILs all the time

1 ) Forget about buffing in instances

2 ) Using the wrong totems

3 ) Starting a boss fight with my healer almost OOM... that's my favorite

4 ) Making outdoors group quests and forgetting to put the tank bar on my tank and heal bar on my healer, so my tank ends two shoted and the rest of the group running for their lifes.

5 ) In Coldara near Nexxus I was ganking people one day I was bored and I managed to pull to the ground one of these lvl 80 elite drakes that fly over your head. I guess it had something to do with my 40 yards flame shock and using alt tab to target everything that had red name. Since the two rogues I was about to gank vanished I decided at least to take down the drake thinking the rogues just ran away.
The drake fight took about 7 minutes or so... my group was lvl 71 by that time. At the end of the battle all my toons were OOM and almost dead... Then suddenly out of nowhere appeared two /cheer /lol emotes and the two rogues I was about to gank popped and anihilated my almost dead group.

6 ) Try to make UK with red gear tank... forgot to repair his gear before entering the instance. That would be not a big deal if I didn't realize it until I reached the second boss and saw the melee guy doing lots of damage on my tank... By that time I had really spammy overheal macro, so I could have reached that boss with a nude holy priest as tank if needed.

7 ) One day I was having fun with the target dumies in IF and saw a dwarf watching at me. When I finished my macros tuning I just made a show in front of that dwarf making figures with chain heal and dropping totems. Then another player passed by my side and said "What are you doing? Entertaining the guards?" Then I realized that the dwarf was a city guard.

[jinx08]

Completing a rather long and annoying quest only to realise that you had either missed picking up the q on one of your toons, or that you had completly forgot to share it in the first place!

Certain instance quests where you are meant to loot the boss etc and forget to on your slaves. Then suddenly remember halfway through the instance and run back only to find it has despawned! Ramparts springs to mind. I couldn't tell you how many times I've done that before!

Talking of /follow deaths, I try to avoid going anywhere near the LM in AB now! The ammount of times i've gone up the, thunderstormed a group of hordies off the the cliff, /lol'd, only to be blown off the cliff by an enemy shaman, with my slaves happily following me off to their doom!

Oh good times lol :)

[Frappuccino]

About 3 weeks ago i was in your shoes.. could only take down heroic UK.
Now I don't have a resto shaman (all 4 are elemental) and can farm most heroics, many in under 30 minutes. I found using BoK over BoSanct early on when ur HP is low helps a bit.. made the difference of wiping on trollgore to downing dtk!

Now for the failures! I played with my set up and stepped into AB the other night, Shift R to rotate whole party right, and I was wondering why they all started spinning... hint: don't use shift + key for movement keys as if u let go of shift first it doesn't stop !! ><

Going into the arena with the intention of trying to kill 1 or 2 but not really intent on winning.. and forgetting to hit follow... :(

neatly spreading out before a boss fight, only to hit my follow key instead of my buffs key once engaging the boss...

tweaking setup and ended up with avengers shield on the same key as a totem, result: pulling the boss before my totems are down or remotely ready = wipe

[Tonuss]

I did this. In Warsong Hold, before I started using Jamba, my main took the carpet ride and the other 3 followed him off into the dirt. Man I felt dumb. LOLYesterday I did this, except that I DID have Jamba. One of my alts took the carpet ride, the other two apparently thought that they were too good for something as ghetto as a carpet ride, and discovered (the hard way) that they really couldn't walk on "magic beams of light." No idea why it didn't work, but at least those two alts aren't so damned high-and-mighty anymore.

[Catamer]

when I first started heroics I was pretty upset too.
my healer macro would cycle back to the spell with a cooldown too soon so heals would just stop... tank would die... team wipe.
tank macro had something miss spelled near the end of it so eventually he wouldn't cast holy shield ... so tank failure + healer failure = team wipe
took me forever to figure this out, the healer one in particular.
UK heroic was so hard for me I just wanted to quit.
I had to learn how to hex stuff and that took time.. I used to mark each pull with raid targets and make sure each shaman had someone else to hex then pull to the team.
magma totems seem to do a huge amount of dmg now. depending in the pull type you may want to use 4x magma's. Magma's don't run away from the team like fire elementals can and you can recast them immediately
I don't have to hex stuff anymore 8)

personally I think HoL is one of the easier heroics you can do. learn to take 4 paces back from Loken and cast a group chain heal on all of your shaman when he starts his big cast. ( other say don't move, but you need some 14k+ hit points to do that )
Drak'tharon has probably the easiest last boss , just skip the second boss if you need to.

[Tynk]

My two biggest failures.
1: My team make up of Prot War, holy Paly, Frost Mage, Balance Druid, Shadow Priest
while ambitious I just could not get them working to the point where they would be able to do better then horrible. But I got them leveled up so I could raid.
I have since transferred two characters to other accounts so I am now down to 3 accounts with 5 80's and working on leveling up the other 5 classes.

2: My druid was the last to ding 80, an exploration ding as I was flying over ice crown, I was so excited I started typing "YAY!!!" in guild chat from my druid.
As I hit the first ! my other 4 characters dropped off their mounts and plummeted to their death in celebration
That's been 2 1/2 months I think? Still have not figured out what causes my slaves to dismount when I hit 1, or maybe shift 1. /shrug

[bhec7715]

I was on my mount and I overshot it *kersplat*. Luckily the only people watching were horde and they couldn't talk crap to me :D .

[Borsch]

Well, I'm fairly new to 5 boxing myself. Still working out alot of kinks.

Currently my team consists of 3 warlocks, a prot warr, and a resto shaman that I stole from my 4xsham/pally team.

Anyways, I hit 80 with the warlocks and the shaman last week, finished up some quests and decided to give Heroic UK a whack.

Full repair... 8| before the first boss. Apparently the fire debuff combined with the sunder armor effect on the trash makes some short work of my tank. Definately need to re-evaluate my setup, and focus quite a bit more on the healing aspect.

By the time I got repaired, and finished killing the trash mobs in the forge room, it was too late to continue. ;(

[Catamer]

I guess one of my funniest moments was when I first started mboxing and I was facinated with one of my alts screens as my main ran off a clif and the whole team followed.
later to be repeated with the north end surfing quest, main hopped on first and the team followed off the clif there.

[Borsch]

In retrospect... Hex + 3x Seduce could have solved alot of the trash issues. Holy learn to CC batman (at least till gear gets better). 8|

Edit: Twice now I've ran off the Harpoon Surfing cliff with my slaves...

[hibiki]

I'll take a double. About a month ago, while I was leveling my first group, I was doing a quest that required you to run up to the top of a mountain and "cleanse" yourself by fighting your inner demon. After completing the quest, you get a slow fall buff. I was thinking "Cool, don't have to ride back down to the bottom" and proceeded to slow fall into the Alliance town at the bottom. I play Horde.

Fast forward to this weekend on my second group, I still remember there's an Alliance town there. I start up the quest on my main, proceed to kill the demon, and my slaves get the credit also. "Sweet, that was easy", I carefully point my group away from the Alliance town and proceed to jump off the cliff. Whenever I'm in the air, I like to rotate my camera angle and check out the surroundings. I switched the camera angle on the main to check out the slaves and noticed they're not there. Credit for quest on all 5 shamans, check. Slow Fall buff on all 5 shamans, doh. :pinch:

[blast3r]

Before my morning coffee started working was at Death's Rise about to take off for two dailies I just picked up. Mounted up and ran off the cliff. And was thinking...why am I falling? Oh, mounted my raptors instead of flyers.

[Terraelf]

I wonder if theres a way to save each set of characters to a different set of keybindings instead of moving spells around whenever you switch grrr grrr grrr.I have my #1 toolbar setup and designed for when I am playing solo on each toon. My #2 toolbar is for crafting professions. My #3 toolbar is setup for multiboxing in a dungeon. My #4 toolbar is setup for multiboxing outside of a dungeon. Once I have them set, I don't have to change them around very much unless I respec or mechanics change, but then I'm usually just editting a macro I have bound to my main attack button. I can change out any one of my toons at any time and hit shift-3 or shift-4 depending upon what I'm doing and not even have to think about what specific toons I have in my crew.

[Terraelf]

#1 Working on "For the Alliance" and was heading to Thunderbluff with my guild. My main made it on the elevator and the others fell off. I didn't know the way. I stopped to recollect and try to get them all up there, but my guild moved on.. reformed the party and tried again. Made it on the elevator.. lost 2 at the entrance but ran w/ my other three to get to the fight. Aggroed the boss before the guild leader/main tank did because I didn't exactly know where I was going... noticed my other 2 were missing and tried to get them to safety.. fail.... We did down the boss though.

#2 We have started having a recreational raid day where we go back and spank on some BC Tier 6 content for achievements and people that never got to see it before. I was there 5-boxing and Illidan's Eye Beam looks at me.. I failed to notice it coming and didn't move. Lost all 5 guys instantly.

#3 I'm able to do 3k+ DPS in RAID on WotLK w/ my DPSers, my Palidan tank is above 26k armor and 28k health unbuffed (around 33k buffed), my healer is 2k HB unbuffed.... and yet I've not managed to multibox a single heroic boss. Closest is having a boss to 10k.. <-- Epic fail!

#4 All the time I keep making this mistake. I have my mount (and consequently dismount) for my flying mount keyed to 0. I like to use smiley faces and quite often I'll be chatting with guild mates or responding to tells and I hit :) at the end..... ) uses the shift-0 key, but keyclone just passes the 0... Slaves die <--- Epic fail! I know I can fix it, just haven't <-- Legendary fail!

[Bigfish]

Doing Oculus sunday night. Trying to figure out how to write the macros for Eregos. End up coming up with something after working on the instance for 3+ hours. After my latest death, I'm sitting outside the instance, writing macros, and when I go to run back in.... Unable to launch instance. It had reset while I was writing. Had to clear it again the next day.

[an0mali]

To the poster who was asking how to tank and heal an instance, if you use two computers to box its a bit easier. I dual-box with two computers, and have tanked and healed with success. I have my laptop next to my desktop, and I keep a mouse for each right next to each other. So when I'm tanking and healing, I control the tank by spamming buttons on my desktop's keyboard, and then I use the laptop mouse to control my Healbot mod. It makes it pretty easy to tank and heal because the actions you do to do each role are so different, you don't get them mixed up. Also, healing with Healbot makes it so you don't have to target a party member first (which would be a headache imo). If you happen to dual-box with two computers, I hope this helps =D

Also, my fail comes thanks to the fact I've been PvP'ing a lot lately with my dual mages. I decided to do some 2v2 arenas, and I've had several rounds end with a big L because my secondary mage never picked up my mains target, so she just stood there and watched! I kept thinking 'Geez, I must look like a complete idiot...' Other than that, I've tried to do the falling death over cliffs, but I tend to hit ice block before I go splat =D

Woot a Ravencrester! :D It'd be fun to run into you in WG someday! There is another horde 5-boxer and a alli 5-box shaman group on Ravencrest as well. I ran into the horde 5-boxer once while doing the annoying quests in Crystalpine Forest, and I haven't seen the alli 5-box group since AV at 70 before WotLK.

Anyhow i am SPAMMING 1 hardcore and for some reason can't understand why my mammoths wont run through one of the arch ways. Their stuck and horrifically spamming their profession buttons. Needless to say after probably 200 spams each and 5 minutes of me trying to get them to run through the arch i realize i look at my trade channel and my whole chat log is my shamans spamming. My guild member say's "Dude stfu" :-/
***BTW: Black war mammoths from WG cannot go through those arch's :-/***
