SW:TOR multiboxing poll up over at there site.

[F9thRet]

Just saw this tonight, and it's the typical Blah blah blah about us boxers. However, right now we have a very slight lead. Thought some of you might be interested in it, with the game coming out soon...

It just irks me the communist like attitude of the 42% who voted No.

[HPAVC]

Seemed pretty positive actually.

[jinkobi]

I voted and added my 2 positive cents.

[pinotnoir]

I think it would be hard to box that game. I can't wait until it releases.

[Kalros]

Just voted and posted a reply as well. I had every intention of playing TOR when it comes out, but I was going to hold of on attempting to multibox until I learned the game solo.

Agreed. The first two page of replies only had three negative comments, and one was:

I vote no, because it just makes every other mmo player look bad.
Which is both utterly retarded and downright hysterical.

The other two responses were mostly just saying that multiboxing is bad because multiboxers are [insert generic insults].

I don't know how the rest of it plays out (it's 35 pages long already) but the first two pages make it seem as if most people don't mind multiboxing, and the few who don't come off as brain-dead assholes.

I just thought of something. If they have no character clipping, when everyone uses a spinning light saber move, does everyone in the group die? :p

"Use the Force Luke!" :D


Yeah we're all assuming quite a bit. Like the mechanics being there to even multibox! Something as small as no follow might dampen the whole idea.

I'll be playing solo too at first.

[Korruptor]

From the game-play trailer I watched today I'd be hard pressed to see boxing a full encounter as viable as it is with WoW.

You see the whole team splitting up all over the place.

I hope like hell they do have character clipping activated in this game. Nothing pisses me off more about tryin to play a game as when people intentionally block a doorway or any path and you have no way to get around or through them. This is one reason I stopped playing Day of Defeat and Counter Strike. People would get right in the way in the spawn points and prevent anyone from getting out. With no admins on, and Vote Kick and FF turned off, the only option was to drop out and find another server. Not to mention this can also cause problems if NPCs in the game itself become stuck and you can't get them to move.

[Chubbz]

I will definately be playing SW:TOR, will wait to see some gameplay settings, ie follow commands etc to decide if i will box or not.

If Multiboxing is viable, will everyone here think of going the same server?

[Lax]

I didn't read much of the thread, but I like seeing people say things like this

If it's 5 characters controlled by 1 person using 5 keyboards/mice/monitors and no macros, then I'm fine with it. If it's 5 characters controlled by 1 person with macros and 3rd party software to broadcast commands to all characters on one computer, that I have a problem with.
(ViperI on page 43)

... because I can't imagine they've thought this through.

All anyone would have to do to skirt this type of rule is exactly what Kromtor did in the highly publicized EVE multiboxing debacle -- dowels, popsicle sticks, etc. The only thing this rule would accomplish is to give the advantage to people with a lot more money to burn on hardware.
