I'm about ready to call it quits already on my new 5 man. IDK if it's age or just me changing but dual boxing is where my mind is now. Just getting to be as good as can be dual boxing would be ideal. It feels better. Though this last patch did something to passenger mounts that make them unbearable. That's one downside.

What did the last patch do?

What did the last patch do?

The Obsidian Nightwing dismounts constantly in broken shore. Doesn't dismount the driver but the passenger. Really annoying like everytime you load new assets in the world.

I am with ya. I can't play 5 anymore, max I play is 3. In BGs tundra mount is the reason I will never go above 3. If 5s do come back playing 3 dps and lfg two healers works until you find a few you like.

I am having this same issue. Started up 10 boxing and having my existing 110 team fly my new team around, but its so annoying.

Funny, other than my end of WoD triumphs in mythic dungeons I've never really enjoyed 5 boxing. It dawned on me today that I love the idea of it but the practice of it just doesn't hold up. 5 boxing high end content like mythic+ is too much work for the reward. Dual boxing is very comfy and manageable. No stress issues. Only slight stress when doing mythic dungeons or raiding.

In hindsight the two most fun periods of multiboxing for me were in WoTLK dual boxing my SHM and WAR then again in MoP dual boxing DK and SHM. I did 5 boxing on and off over the years, never really getting far. So now I'm just focusing on getting all my appearances on my two mains. That includes the PvP ones.

3 isn't even interesting to me anymore. Something about positioning just kills it for me. So much movement is required. Two ranged + one melee is hell. Two melee + 1 ranged is hell. 1 melee 1 range is really easy by comparison. I don't think it's age. The game has just gotten far more complicated in the positioning department.

so the two main reasons for me quitting the game are getting reverted

now we have to hope for proper pvp balance that is highly unfair in favor of multiboxers as tbc/wotlk/mop, because I finally got to a place where internet upload is high enough for streaming

and it's about time making another I have no friends cleave movie

I completely understand and feel the same way. I no longer mix melee/range classes myself as it just gets to complicated or more complicated than I want. I want to spend my night playing and not fixing macros or keybindings. Positioning is just a huge headache.

In fact I stopped playing any combos that involve healers unless I am playing all healers like in a bg. I only play hunters and druids(moonkin/resto) and in bgs I usually only box two. Two resto druids can frustrate the hell out of opposing players in bgs and can be a factor in winning. I like being able to do 3s rated and skirmish myself and 3 hunters camo/wind/true/piercing can one shot clothies/healers. To me that is what I enjoy. In bfa scenarios are 3-players, so 3 boxing is my sweet spot, but all the same class/spec. If I want pve gear I will just buy it from guild carries on which ever server is selling runs. Simple

I tried to take all stress out of the game along time ago and keep everything simple stupid for myself.

I for one would love to see more "no friends cleave" vids.

My healing is a bit different than the usual grid + clique combo. It makes playing a melee and a healer tolerable in dungeon runs with other people who take random damage all the time.

Macros are out of date. I haven't touched MW in a long time but the idea is the same.

well i don't think there coming back nothing in the UI to say they are the 5v5 does still show on "live" as wargames show as 2v2 3v3 and 5v5

What's getting reverted Kruschpakx?

[Kruschpakx4]

We're getting tremor totem back thats one good thing, the other one would be 5v5 being reintroduced but as ebony already said the fact that those maps are marked for 5v5 could be due to skirmishes. Not sure if I want to play that game when I cant play competitive because RBG doesnt work without follow and 3v3 doesn't work nearly as well as 5v5 for boxing. I have to admint I enjoyed doing the challenge modes in MOP but I dont think "hard" pve content does it for me because at some point you got it on farm status and wheres the fun then ... :p

maybe cassic ;)

[Xixillia]

maybe cassic ;)

I might play classic, as long as follow exists in BG's.

[Kruschpakx4]

classic would be fun, 5 pom pyro mages round robin oneshot button

[Vociferate]

Hopefully /follow works haha.

[Kruschpakx4]

Hopefully /follow works haha.

i guess that depends how successful the removal of /follow in bg lowered the number of bots
