It appears that Prepared is 50 boxing and has won AV solo

[Sam DeathWalker]

I am falling so very far behind ....

It looks like he has figured out how to attach 50 characters to one keyboard:

And it appears he has won AV solo:

I am hoping that maybe someone can show this isn’t true but it appears legit.

If so gratz to him for what I would consider the greatest achievement in wow so far: winning AV solo!

And of course gratz to the guy who did LFR 25 man DS 1-4!


I can't figure out how to verify this from the armory; is it true?


Check the WoW armory for the top 20 characters in Bring Alliance Death on Aegwynn to see the "Deaths from other players" versus Honorable Kills ratio. These are the top 20 in the game across all realms!! WAY better than the so-called "BEST at PVP" on your realm or anyone else

[MiRai]

You're falling behind, Sam.

[Akoko]

Why 50 when the largest group you can form is 40?? :P

The AV win looks legitimate though.

[Heavyd]

I just fought against him (single box) in AV. he only had about 30 or so in the bg and he freaked some people out. at first we thought it was 5 5boxers, but quickly figured out the mass of moving toons was one person.

We won.

[Sam DeathWalker]

Maybe 50 for Stormwind?
Can you get 50 into Tol B?

Well at least I have level 25 guild perks … his guild is still at 11. Ya I am sux right now, sad indeed.

My Guild is doing well enough 6/8 DS 10 man last night and gonna try heroic 1/8 next week. 24 or so online during prime time. 460K gold in my bank.

Just no time from rl stuffs, setting up a new woodworking business taking up a lot of time. Hope I don't lose my properties, things are not good.

Iv lost 2 posts so far, Im going to do them in word first from now on.

[valkry]

TBH, once you can run chars on more than 1 computer, all you are limited by is money. It's just rinse and repeat per computer.

Solo boxing the LFR is much more of a feat than just grinding down people in AV with the help of Drek

Yes, he does. Absolutely insane pvp dedication. Nearly 2k AV battles on toons!! Although, as I have noticed before, Blizzard's stat page bugs sometimes...
BGs won the most: Av 51
AV victories: 517

[Bollwerk]

Can you get 50 into Tol B?
Provided there are enough of the opposing faction in the queue, you can have up to 80 from each faction in TB. (i.e. 2 full raids)

[Sam DeathWalker]

Ok I see you go to achievments then statistics;

This guy has over 1 million kills (over 1/2 million HK) and only 6,300 deaths?!

Well it must be that if you kill somone in a group the whole group gets a HK or whoever did any damage must get a HK whereas if you die well only you die ....

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/aegwynn/Teacher/statistic#122


2,100 or so AV battles, 969 or so victories ....

Ill bet he has no pve gear.
Still AV is the way to go 10 times more fun then pve.
I bet he ques up 50 and hopes to get 8 groups into the same AV, another reason to have 50.

A hard core player can do 6 or so AV a day and get to 2,100 in 1.5 years or so.




Another reason to have 50 is that if you run 40 you might be able to choose the best 40 for the encounter, he has a big mix of classes


Mohahaha I beat him on win ratio my main is 41 victories and 68 AV's! Go ME!


Well he not top 20 on all servers, but maybe he is right about his very low HK to Deaths ratio.

http://www.guildox.com/go/g.asp?a=12&r=&w=&n=

Top guy has 1.5 mill HK but 33K deaths .....

[Knytestorme]

If what some anti-boxers are complaining about is actually true he has 50 so he can have 10 alliance characters in the same TB/AV just sitting there afk'ing so it's only 30 against his 40. I certainly hope it's not true, or that if it is he ends up getting banned for non-participation reasons, but if it's not true then well done to him and keep it up and rub their noses in it :D

[EaTCarbS]

Am I the only one who thinks HK farming =/= skill?

I think the guy who is doing 25 man LFR is the same guy who boxed Kara back in BC.

[Ualaa]

Skill would be equal gear, no addons or identical addons, on equally powerful systems with the same latency.
Pretty much only the Blizzard professional tournament thing.

Once you outgear someone else, you have an advantage and need less skill to win.
If you outnumber the other guys, that's less skill too.

Not saying one cannot be very skillful, despite having advantages.

I've seen videos where someone wipes large groups of opposition, in their Captain or Generals room.
But they were not subject to many Frost Nova / Ring of Frosts, nor were they hit with Fear several times, nor were their toons Frost Trapped or Polymorphed, etc.
When I'm subject to those kind of effects, there's no chance of wiping 12 Horde at Belinda; but when they ignore me or only use hit point damage against me, 20 horde are rather easy to kill in the same place.



@Sam:
I've got close to 30,000 HK's, on my Pally/DK's team.
When any member kills someone, they all get the HK.

The only thing that wouldn't transfer across to everyone, would be kills or killing blows... assuming that is tracked on the statistics page.

[valkry]

No Sam, a hard core player would do about 6 AVs in 2-3 HOURS, not 1 day.

[Sam DeathWalker]

Well the “Skill” when you vastly overmatch you opponent isn’t from “farming” HK. The Skill is setting it up so you can get 50 characters into the game at the same time with reasonable enough control that you don’t lose all the time. Also another set of skills where you set up your life so that you have the time and money to play the 50 accounts enough to level up and gear up and win also comes into play.

I just quit EQ1 when I felt I was so powerful no single person or other boxer could possibly defeat me. 24 accounts with 13 wizards lol. There wasn’t any reason to actually go out and kill a bunch of enemies even though I was on a pvp server.

So HK is done by the group? If you are in raid its still by group? Or in AV its still by group? And if you are just healing or even afk you still get the HK if your group lands the killing blow?

Well lost another post, and it froze up my machine so much that even task manager was froze … Lets hope for a VB update soon.

[MiRai]

Am I the only one who thinks HK farming =/= skill?
No, but I don't have anything productive to say so I figured I would stay out of it seeing
as this is technically old news (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/45703-YouTube-Prepared-x40-in-Alterac-Valley).


So HK is done by the group? If you are in raid its still by group? Or in AV its still by group? And if you are just healing or even afk you still get the HK if your group lands the killing blow?
You have to be in range of the kill, that's it... You don't even need to do move or do any
damage. Go stand at Blacksmith in AB, do nothing, and reap HKs from all surrounding nodes.
It's been like this since... Wrath?

[Zub]

If anything else, one can admire the dedication Prepared puts into WoW.

I enjoyed the video, and I do believe there is skill in it. Not necessary the common pvp skill, but survival and tactical skill.
There is no way he could dedicate toons for towers etc, so a win by reinforcements is to be expected.

I wonder how many "solo" AV losses he got before this win. In any case, props to him for doing it and sharing.

And Sam, no you're not way behind, you're on another planet altogether.

[daanji]

I actually got into an AV recently with my 5x arcane mages, Horde side.

I quickly realized that 30+ toons were prepared. The other pugs were complaing everyone was leaving and didn't understand why. Apparently, he was reporting everyone not in his group AFK. I assume so he could get all his toons into AV. I bet he has a mod that automatically reports everyone NOT in his team AFK.

Anyway, a guild member of mine despises Prepared for many reason. He said he would pay me 5k gold if I reported all his toons AFK.

I proceeded to do so, starting with his lead character and 5 seconds later all my toons were booted. I loled.

I took a few screen shots of it and my guildie paid me my 5kg

Reporting people afk who are not afk is actually reportable to a GM.

As for booting people, I have found the following to be pretty much true:
First time you are reported by 3 or more people, you get the countdown debuff.
IF you manage to not interact in pvp within a minute and get the idle debuff (basically you are fucked), you will get automatically kicked the next time you are reported by 3 or more people.
This carries over into future BGs as well, which is why you will see usual afkers booted straight away and some people who get caught in the cross fire get the count down debuff.

If you are in Prepared's AV and want to not be kicked, go jump in a bunker, and dont kill the archers... infinite combat (cant be reported afk while in combat).

If you want to report all his characters afk, press m to get th emap, and right click on the big mass of dots, and choose "report all." Or I can give you the macro for reporting everyone not from your server if you want (but use is cautioned, as that is reportable).

[JackBurton]

Sam falling behind? hmmm Sam used to be on my EQ1 zek server many many moons ago. Does Prepared lurk in DB forums or multibox.com forums? Do you think this will give us some good publicity?

[Ualaa]

The AV Trinket, to hearth to your General's location...
That clears the AFK debuff.

And the final version (upgradeable over time, based on your faction with the NPC's of your battleground) has no cooldown, so can be chain cast... over and over.
