Any chance for some details on how your accomplishing this movement? I am particularly interested in the movement.

If you hold down move forward and straft left, you go diagonal. The rest you should be able to figure out.
Just for the record, that takes me 1 key press. A second key press moves them back in (sort of, walking backwards is at a different speed than forward so it is not 1:1).
Also for the record, this is all accomplished in hardware only.
Brilliant.
Don't know what else to say other than that...
Just bloody and completely brilliant.
Nice vid. :o

LOL - I posted it to WoW General Forums and within a few minutes - topic deleted.
But not before I got some quality "general forum drivel" responses:
"I might be wrong, but you are indeed using some kind of software or hardware to get them to move like that. Its not possible to get what you saw in the video with just macros. Also, many of those characters looked exactly the same at a highish level so I am going to guess you were doing that on a private server? Or do you have that many high levels of the same class with the exact same gear?"
"I'm surprised it's possible to do unit formations with no third party software."
My questions are ...
How often does lag hit and mess it up?
How long did it take to figure out those timings?
That is some very nice work .. I love it :)

Yeah, I got that same thing in game with my crew. A lot of people thought I was hacking the game for gear, since afterall, how could 4 70 mages have the exact same gear?! The didn't put two and two together with... "Hmm...he is playing them at the same time...and their gear is mainly outlands quest rewards...hmmm...". :lol:. Maybe it is more obvious since I already know how I got all the gear. But the responses from oblivious people are quite entertaining indeed. :wink:Quote:

Almost never.
Not long.
Will try to :)
How did you make a spread out macro? I don't recall being able to move characters using macro commands.... I understand using /follow to get them to face you and then "w"to move them back in, but to make them face all their respective angles to then use "w" to move out is beyond me.Quote:

this can be done with a couple of simple key presses. 1 key to seperate the groups, then one to spread them out. boom, instant start burst of toons ready to do damage.
