Wow multiboxing worth coming back?

[isboxerscrub]

Before I begin, I can say im a not a god of pvp like some here , multiboxed max of 7 and I have died before ,over 180 pvp deaths to 20k killing blows all around which means I am by far-not a multiboxing god.(some chars do have 150-1 kd ratio) Well I used to multibox only 20-24 battlegrounds, simply because some of the accounts were trials and could be created for free, so I did not have to blow insane $$ some do. I can post bunches of 170-0/155-0(4 dps) in 25 minutes of warsong gulch pvp, multiple for proof that im not a complete idiot when it comes to boxing,Well basically the question was-is it worth coming back? I can get the travelers mammoth, and I also used to multibox the simplest things-four hunters and a healer who played separately on Skype. Also four priests and a healer swap. He can get the 2 seater chopper and I had a thought of just doing the same thing-he would have to predict and I would do callouts when im going to dismount so he would ride up near me and dismount too. Me and that healer were playing together since early 2011 so he kinda knows me. But is it going to be worth it I have had problems with fear spam in the past-trinket 2 min CD-fear 30 sec/cleanse 6 second CD but everyone is mass feared.

well in bg's there is still not /follow so u have to work round it and to be fair its a nightmare sometimes but its ok for the odd few pvp games now and then.

Personally, my interest in the game was battlegrounds and I choose to leave because of the removal of /follow.

You can attempt to work around the removal, via:
- Multi-person mount... box that many toons.
- Use IWT once you're in range of whatever, if you're a melee team.
- If you have a Druid on the team, with a Minor Glyph your travel form is a mountable 'Stag' which your team can IWT with, so they'll run to the lead toon (assuming you lead with the Druid and are okay with being in travel form almost constantly).



Rift recently removed follow from their battlegrounds (warfronts, or whatever).
But Rift is Free-to-Play.
Everquest I, Everquest II, and Vanguard are all Free-to-Play; there isn't anything like battlegrounds in these games though.

Personally, I'd pay for the pvp if it was available.
But the PvE isn't really all that interesting to me... Free-to-Play, is an option for PvE if you don't want to give Blizzard money.

well I also only played mine for pvp, only pve I ever done was just testing what I am capable of like these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZisalmzrY4 or mekgineer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR-R29KRZ2Y . not saying any skill was involved but that's the only type of pve I ever do. I got 7 free days so I could buy the mammoth and my friend could rock the 2 seater chopper. I thought about remaking hunters because they are really easy to play and have no deadzones meaning im safe from melee, plus insane damage and CC

hunters don't work to easy to be Line of sight. there is not much choice you can play without follow.

druids/cat
Shammys/echs (what am playing)
deathkights and a healer (probs druid healer)
Rouges?
warriors
pallys
monks might work not played so not sure how they work.


really anything melee i tried casters and a player can just kite you to death and you do nothing in a bg and can get a warning for not playing in the bg. (i have had this happen to me)

[Ualaa]

Anything melee, can IWT spam to stay on a target, once you're in IWT range.
That's further away than /follow range.

I was playing Paladin (Heals) leading 4x Death Knights.
With a Druid lead instead, I could have 'Travel Form w/Minor Glyph', IWT my Druid (spam this) to move the DKs.
With a Healer (any) and 2x DKs, a 3-person mount would have been an option too.

World PvP is not invalidated in any way.
Follow works fine there.
So, once you have the gearing... you can pick almost any zone... and because of the Cross Realm Zones, chances are there will be targets to kill.
The trick is keeping constant on Conquest gear for each season, without being able to run most teams in battlegrounds for those points.

[MadMilitia]

I do the 2 dk and 1 shaman on a 3 man mount sometimes.

It works in some battlegrounds and not others. Basically no /follow is a minor inconvenience at that point. You'll have to switch to the guy out of range from time to time or just mount up and fetch him. Before 5.4 my tyrannical geared 3s team was topping DPS and heals in BGs like temple and AB.

The usual suspects (towers in AV, bridge in EOTS, any area of strand) are all no-go zones because IWT isn't smart. But you are probably used to that.

I like to fool around in PvE with the group too. Sadly, scenarios can be really annoying.

I like where the game is right now, although I'm only running two boxes. No dailies are required for anything, you can chip away at your reps with dungeon runs. You do most of your gearing up in 25 man content (lfr), which I love. The new island is a little annoying but it only takes a day or so to get all the 496 gear and not go back.

Also, I love the legendary quest. Doable for anyone but requires time and work with nice rewards along the way.

The /follow removal made me realize instanced pvp was just a little mini-game in WoW all this time, and there was much more to do than I thought.

PVE is accessible to multiboxers (LFR and even Flex) and world pvp is the thing.

[dancook]

Not going to activate 5 accounts, but activated three and created 3 arcane mages.. instances have been a lot of fun - arcane explosion everything.. really fast leveling and runs.

[candlebox]

I miss boxing, but I am fed up with all the BS that game is going through. Seems all the talented people left. Kind of like being on welfare and obamacare.

Back to FPS I guess. I love arena. I never understood why they would not scale when you enter arena instead of keeping it flat across the board. They had a good thing going, and could have made a lot of money as well.

[Kicksome]

World PvP is still a lot of fun. I loved BGs, but really there were only a few that made sense to 5 box. AV, IOC and maybe EOTs. All the others you hurt more than you helped with 5+ guys.

I loved world pvp too, but without BGs, how does one gear up? That was my frustration with world pvp, but I had fun doing BGs.

pve gear is a lot better in world pvp, pvp you need it for arena, like i said i not had a prob with many of the bg's but wsg/sota/ tp (can be a pain.) and can olny blacklist two.

we have to see what the new xpac beings

2v2 was the easiest way for me, when I started playing again at the end of least season I had a 20k conquest cap and got full geared in a day.

I've been converting my JP to Honor from running heroics. It doesn't go as slow as one might think. The honor gear is 496 ilvl and not bad for all around play. :cool:

You can leave the political bullshit off the board. Multiboxing has nothing to do with it.

[Shania]

Could not tell you it is worth coming back, or if it is not... myself I barely pvp, I do raids on my main, some bosses x2 if we need a fill in, play AH. Solo Dungeons, Isle, which now I am pretty much long done with anyway. Flexi Raids etc.

I still love world of Warcraft, I started playing late Vanilla. Barely ever been unsubbed.
game has changed a hell of alot, and to me, the changes are fine, alot for the better.

And it is what it is, a game, a hobby for some, pass time, adventure. Loads of games out there, I try some now and then for fun, but my heart is still in WoW and enjoy everything I do in the game, with some guildies where my 2 main toon raiders are, or solo with my x5 and do whatever I feel like at the time.

Totally have enjoyed MOP, nice expansion, well I like it anyway :P

I know he probably didn't mean anything by it, but I second that.
