5 person AV being added!!!

[onsit]

Upcoming content patch allows for a group of 5 to queue up. While we can't use follow the leader, we should still be able to manually some what navigate if cameras are in sync.

This could be fun for Ranged teams that don't require IWT. Could just park 5x mages, shamans in drek's room and explode people.

You will be signaled afk before the opposite raid comes at you.

I really wouldn’t suggest it... but if that’s your plan you’d be better off running north... then trinketting back when opposite faction are on boss.... but for the absolute love of god stay out of BG’s as a boxer... we draw enough hate without the forum trolls getting wind of that.

[Lax]

This kind of thing is part of why they removed /follow from battlegrounds and haven't brought it back.

Also, nobody likes turtle AV's, and your offense is short an otherwise useful group.

[The Crowd]

Actually man, I kinda disagree I hate rush AV’s I feel its horrific... I miss actual old AV... with the push / shove of forces across mid taking graveyard by graveyard... big massive 40 man brawls where you end up as a healer going committing hari Kari and running into the opposite faction when oom because it’s faster than running away, hiding, drinking only to be stunlocked by a random rogue before dying and ressing anyway!
I wish WSG was meta for ranking up because at least then the people who are rank 14 know how to use their weapons rather than being a bunch of pve back peddlers who AFK’d their way up

I've held Iceblood tower with my 5 and got afk spam reported because i was slowing down the alliance from winning. and also cause im a boxer. lol

I've played quite a few games of AV on my mages, haven't been reported and I do alright. As alliance I stay between Dun Baldar and Stone hearth. I move to stone hearth at the start and then trinket back to DB as horde move up, and I help turtle the bridge. Loads of fun.

Just because other players don't like you in BGs doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a crack, what are they going to do, remove follow from us again..?

And how exactly are you moving as a group now without follow?

[JohnGabriel]

I think the best way to multibox AV is to put all your toons in a different battleground. Using click to move you can fairly easily move your toons to various graveyards, towers, and bunkers and park them there to guard.

This is not AFK, you are actually playing, but there is seldom fighting on every toon every minute, you just switch to the toon where the fighting is. Its actually very fun, like playing solo but with less boring down time.

Nobody will even know you're boxing.

[Gh0ztEye]

That's what I've been doing so far but it's just not as fun for me playing whack-a-mole AV's.

[Osop]

You will be signaled afk before the opposite raid comes at you.

that would be hilarious :)

There are 2 ways, click to move with mouse broadcast, or map your movement keys and just switch between alts to adjust. It's more intensive but not impossible

That's what i do but it's boring af. I'll stop after R8 reached.

[Torgo]

I've done a couple of characters as a group and in separate AV instances (Horde).

It isn't really any fun at all. Since we have 1 hour queues and games last 30min, I just stagger joining the BGs with a couple of characters. it is slower, but I only PVP on 3 chars (warrior /mage/priest).

[Baltyre]

I didn't try it, but instead of 5boxing, i guess we could easily dualbox.
I have a G600 mouse, so i could bind all direction on the keys of my mouse and use them effectivly under my right thumb, and i use standard ZQSD (azerty keyboard) for the main char. With only two char, doesn't seems like a big challenge to move them independently.
