This was an interesting Isle of Conquest:

Shows that with a little bit of coordination and a brain, multiboxers are easier to beat than the same number of solo players. But it's the same with destruction warlocks: you get stunned, feared to oblivion and charmed, after which he rapes you ... until you see more of them and you figure out what to do. The same goes for multiboxers: if you don't meet many, the first few times you'll get raped. Once you learn to deal with them it's fairly straight forward to counter it.

I think if there are more dks, the result may change. The dks are more viable when facing multi-CC.

Very cool, especially as http://www.queueq.net/ is a paid service (even if its just a paid guild essentially), which as I have always understood completely against the TOS/EULA, like paid addons (paid guild members), paid guild memberships, gold selling / raid slot sell (mmoepics) and so forth.

lol...

And I can't stop laughing at the person in the vid that kept telling everyone it was one guy playing 30 toons.

[Oathbreaker]

Not gonna lie, that hurt and we were outplayed. No excuses though. We know where we went wrong and we've learned from our mistake.

Hats off to them.

I think it's very possible that the multiboxers would have won that game if they had stayed in the boss room. It was only the wandering out in small groups that made them vulnerable.

Also, in their defense, i think the multiboxers had between 5 and 10 pugs and the QueueQ side only had 1 or 2 pugs. It wasn't completely even.


btw - QueueQ isn't really a paid service. You don't need to be a member and anyone can join the vent and get into the BG groups for free (that's what i do).

It's basically just a high capacity vent server where everyone queues for BGs at the same time.

All the BG leaders are volunteers.

Awesome video Hawaiianz, thanks for sharing.

You are a very effective battleground leader and you kept everyone under control, coming up with great strategies to win.

I run with Oathbreaker (Shamanone-ten), Tiny and them in IOC and AVs. We have been very succeessful in winning IOC. And our biggest issues is generally the fail single-boxers that are PUGed into our runs. When we can end a match and have 230-255 bodies left on our side we are very successful. What is bad is when it is a tight match and you see two or three (or upwards of ten) people on our team that have 10-20 deaths because they can't adapt or listen to simple suggestions it limits the effectiveness of our strategy.

As you noticed we are generally pretty well organized and it isn't uncommon for us to show up with a few multi-boxxed healers (generally druids or shaman). I wil play my 5 elemental shamans as resto if we are going for a large group of boxxer in IOC. The ability to drop 5 x healing rains on command + 5 heal stream totems (or some nice manatides) plus chainheal and all the other tools shaman bring to the fight is huge.

You executed some great tactics in that BG against "The Zerg". Alot of opposition we have come up against were no where near that coordinated or skilled. So, I haven't chatted with Oathbreaker or Tiny yet but I think we would be up for a rematch sometime soon. I definetly think it would be a nice match up of skills and your players all seemed courteous and knowledgeable. I also liked that you tried to keep your vent chatter polite and profanity free, that speaks volumes of your players. And I know alot of us would love the competition of competent opposition vice face-rolling scrubs.

Hey guys,

I was on the QQ service and listening to the strat as they went through it.

It was unfortunate that you came up against one of the few talented leaders for QQ and he has an exemplary record in BGs.

The major mistake was moving outside of the horde king room. When the boxers are together, they are easily able to handle the alliance scrubs. Unfortunately, your shaman boxer and DK boxer started splitting up, with some people going to assault the docks and they could attack you from 3 sides (oil field, refinery and alliance keep).

My suggestion is this :

Send all of your boxers to the workshop or docks at the start of the game. Allow the alliance to cap hangar and to get your gate down. Don't even bother with offence on the alliance keep.

When the wall is down and the alliance start to move in (having assaulted the horde keep), move your siege engine and/or glaives up to the horde keep and position them in front of the respawn point (DO NOT CAP THE FLAG). Send your boxers not in vehicles in after the alliance and wipe them on the king. Use your glaives and siege engine to farm them in the respawn location.

It maximises the honourable kills and effectively shuts them out of the game. You can also cap the hangar, docks, oil ref & quarry if you're after the mine achievement. It is the best way to maximise honour, maximise achievements and negate any advantage an organised premade has.



And yes, for the horde boxers out there, I have used this strategy many times against you. I play alliance :)

I like how whoever is taking the video is essentially AFKing while dead watching the show... I'd have reported him afk....

Its so funny how they seem to think it's all one guy. It's just 4-5 multiboxers working together.
