Just downloaded Rift

[blast3r]

As far as boxing goes, does it have a feel like WoW did or is it totally different? I have a lot of research to do so will be reading these forums. Just cancelled 10 wow accounts and may cancel 5 of the 6 I have left if this works.

Also, what server has the most boxers? Thanks!

[crowdx]

VERY like WoW, I played it for a year and leveled two teams to 50. I went back to WoW due to, at the time they said they were not releasing any expansion and so it felt a little stale after a year. They did release Storm Legion expac which now has a level cap of 6 and increases the world size by 3 times.
The graphics are a lot harder on a machine BUT they look REALLY cool for some vistas. You can run your slaves in low render mode and the main in medium, that will save some gpu processing though.

Are 5 chars the "standard" in Rift as well to play dungeons or will fewer chars work to (without having to invite others)?
I loved transmog in WoW and understand Rift something similar called Wardrobe right?

[Meeo]

Transmog in Rift only Affect armor appearance at this time.

5 Character is the standard for rift. Doing Heroics you might find it very hard to them with sub-5 members in the group. It may be possible with 3 or 4 with the trinity and completely overgeared,

Has anyone else ever had a problem pasting text into clients? Was trying to setup macros and could only paste into a single window. Not matter what I did. CTRL-V SHIFT-INSERT. 4 of the clients would not accept a paste. I use ISBoxer, btw.

Yes.. its been that way since day one.. sucks.. I just turn on broadcasting and turn of keymaps and type it all at the same time

This is not easy to setup. I feel like I am making a team with keyclone! No offense, Lax! Not your fault. I miss the ease of setting up teams on WoW. Click click play. BTW, Lax rocks.

Starting out with some rogue hunter thingies.

[blast3r]

I did the macros and keybindings for each account. Used Wow keybindings in ISBoxer and couldn't get them to follow or attack. Think I am done.

[Meathead]

Thats the way Blaster! :P lol

yea.. that happened to me as well.. The last time i played I just followed the guide Lax made.. and it all worked.. somethings changed.. I had 3 days to play for free and couldn't figure it out ( even with Laxs help ) I gave up as well.

I wish I was as smart as Lax! I would be rifting right now.

This is a UAC/Run-as-Admin issue on Windows 7. With UAC fully disabled i was able to cut and paste fine. With Run as Admin, even setting the exe to run as admin all the time, it "sometimes" worked. Disabling UAC was the only way i was able to get the cut and paste working properly.

You could setup keybinds and ui on1 client(or 1 machine) and just /exportui and /exportkeybindings and then use /importui /importkeybindings to move that data around. However Macros are not stored this way.

....

I recently came back to rift and started over from scratch with my IS Boxer, using one of the guides in the forums and the FTL Guide, it all worked perfectly fine for me, and i suck at using isboxer properly. Hard ti say why its not working/why it did not work for either of you (blast3r and lyon)

Thanks for your response! Perhaps I should try again with just two toons to see if I can get that working. Much less overhead. I REALLY want to try boxing RIFT. BTW, will the /importui allow you to upload a file from your computer?

I think it specifically looks at your My Documents/Rift folder, i have never tried to use a network address or sub folder. If these clients are all on the same machine, im sure they should see the same folder. Since i multibox on 5 machines, i have bat file on my main machine that copies all the keybindings and ui exports to each my machines Doc/Rift Folder.

I believe the syntax for export is: /exportui (Optional name) and similar for /importui.

[blast3r]

I figured out part of my problem and now /follow is working. /assist isn't working yet but confident I can get that to work as well! Going to try and fix it a little later and do some boxing.

[blast3r]

YAY!!!! I can follow AND assist. I forgot to click the enable wow thingy checkbox.

[Meeo]

blast3r im usually on Primetime US, you can catch me on the /join Multibox@faeblight channel, ask any questions there as well i can assist real-time if you have questions or issues.

[blast3r]

Meeo, how many other boxers are on your server?

[Meeo]

on Deepwood-PvE, there is Elania (5 x Clerics - all 60 i think), this is where my new 5xCleric team is at.
on Seastone-PvP, there is Shake several other new new boxers (if i can recall)
on Faeblight-RP-PvE, is the home more of the pve boxers old and new. I myself may transfer there.
on Wolfsbane-PvE, there are i believe 2 other 5-boxers other then myself. 1 Who comes to the forums, the other who doesnt know about these forums. My main 5-box team, and my main's raiding guild is on this server.
Greybriar-PvE, i believe there may be a few multiboxers on this server as well, i believe Krago is one.

I myself am kind of split in terms of what server i will officially end up on. Wolfsbane being my home of my raid friends, i havnt raided with him this expansion yet, so im not necessarily tied down to them.

Currently i believe with the influx of new boxers, i think seastone now holds the most boxers on it, all new as well. I was pondering transferring there myself, as i leveled my original team on one of the original pvp servers before xfering to a pve server.

Also note you can transfer from server to server - no charge, i think the cool down is every 7 days. it may be shorter now.

Edit: also - you can also join chat from that is on other servers from any server, as well as whisper, and of recently, you can "Visit"/"Guest" to a friend server by joining their group, being in the same zone. Me and Smedbox tested this the other day.

[blast3r]

Thanks! Very helpful. I think I will start out in Deepwood and go from there!

[valle2000]

A question, I tried out Rift but so far only one account just to check it out a bit. I tried out two chars and both times when being lvl 7 I came to a place called Sanctum. Both times when moving on I had to pass through an area of lvl 13-14 mobs until I got to a quest hub more suited for my own level.
Did I do something wrong, or why did the mobs jump from around lvl 7 up to lvl 14 like that?

[blast3r]

I haven't gotten that far yet. I think I am only level 4 or 5 right now.

My teams are also on Faeblight

[blast3r]

I just rolled some rogue hunters. Clerics were okay but my questline got fracked and I got frustrated so rolled these. :) How do I join a guild on Deepwood? My toons are Danalane, Danapain, Danaluv, Danahate and Danaheat.

[dfwfire]

My teams are also on Faeblight

As are mine. Created my own guild <The Following>, im usually in Multibox@Faeblight under the name Avengis (my main). See you all in game

Sup Allen.

Well,

I am infuriated with wow...I just spent a shit ton of money to x-fer all my Resto druids to "Save the Horde" since there are no healers....to find that /follow doesn't work.

My fault for not forum following I suppose.

Might join you guys maybe. If I can convince my wife that Blizzard is a Nazi regime.

[blast3r]

I am really starting to enjoy this game. Still have a lot to learn about it, though. Crafting feels a bit awkward but sure I will get the hang of it. Love the rifts! Great way to get gear currency and XP.

[Meeo]

Blast3r,

Im curious to know what frustrated you with the clerics?

The rifts are a nice addition/change, the Instant adventures will be the fast path to 50, but it is definitely a grind with good/decent rewards. I started to play my 55 team again for a little bit before returning to my 5xCleric team, my guild asked me to get my cleric main to 60 as all the other clerics are geared so the loot is rotting.

Actually, I screwed up on a questline and being so new to the game just got frustrated so rolled another team. I am certainly going to continue to play my clerics!

[blast3r]

I found when I got around 14 with my rogues a strong desire to try and instance and it was a total failure. So, I rolled yet another team! lol..no wonder I had close to 80 toons in WoW.

Warrior Reaver Tank
4 Chloro mages

I read that damage from the mages can heal the entire group/raid and it made me think of my 4 disc priest dungeon team. Well, we will see. Once I get the hang of all this I will get a team leveled beyond 15. :)

Edit: Now it seems my /follow is a bit broke. Everyone follows tank fine but if I switch to the alts, they don't follow. They all turn "somewhere" facing the same direction and not towards a toon. Weird. Will work on this later.

Edit #2: Figured it out. Had two toons in the wrong order in my follow macros! Time to pew pew now.

[Meeo]

Chloro mages are very decent for healing and damaging, just keep in mind you can also do the same with rogues and cleric classes as well with certain talent specs.

Warrior + Mage Setup is similar setup to another player on Wolfsbane, i think he is in the process of switching mages out with clerics i believe. I personally love the idea of a Cleric Tank + 4 Harbinger (Melee Mages), one day i may get there.

Also the first instance for Guardians is upper teens 15 x 5 is still a bit low.

Can clerics passive heal? That is what turned me on to them. I had a pally/4 Disc priest team and literally never had to cast a heal. Well, almost never.

[Meeo]

There are degrees of passive healing that a cleric can do in multiple hybrid specs, all primarily based around the cleric tanking spec. If all your are looking for is passive healing while leveling then your in a good place with 4 mages, 4 Bards can also do the same as well, but they may frustrate people more due to being channeled, which is easily handled via ISboxer.

[Krago]

As meeo mentioned, multiple chloros or bards are a good choice.
My mixed group is warrior tank, cleric heals, 2 rogue MM, and a chloro for DPS/off heals ( passive ).
However, I have since moved to the 5 cleric team.

Also, make sure you guys beat the crap out of pinatas when you find them, lots of loot from previous events can be had.

Man, since i started re-leveling my Mixed team (Warrior, Cleric, 2 Rogues, 1 Mage), i've been smacking the crap outta these Pinatas. These things are amazing for loot when you get something good. I've been getting the cosmetics hats, pets, and glowly stuff that i missed from previous events.

Ill probably switch back to my 5xcleric team when i get my main cleric to 60, as my raid guild has lots of free epic lewtz for clerics, and all our clerics are geared.

[blast3r]

Update on my new Cleric team. Took me a while to figure out which spec would be best for surviving dungeons. Still have super crappy gear except for a couple of planar pieces. I spec'd one cleric tank and the other 4 as defiler. Defiler seems to have decent healing spells and also okay DPS spells as well. I am staggering placement of Foul Growth on my tank then staggering the Loathsome healing thingy that triggers Fould Growth heal and it is working well! Takes me a while to down bosses but at least I don't wipe anymore.

[Meeo]

My clerics run 5 inqusitor/wardens, with one have spec'd inquisicar(inquistor/justicar) for some tanking ability. I dont really heal much as i burn things down fast enough, or just kite things i cant kill before they get to me.

As aggro changes i basically hop to that toons machine to finish the kite, i usually try to pull 5 to 10 mobs, if their tethering lets me.
