Just wondering if free for all areas turn off assist? I don't want to start all my accounts back up and find out. Thanks!

Do you mean /follow? Assist has always worked everywhere.Quote:

Strange, I remember somewhere from my old days when your followers turn red to you they couldnt assist, but I could be remembering wrong! Thanks again.
No, unless something has recently changed, you cannot follow or assist hostile targets. It doesn't matter whether they're hostile in a dungeon, hostile in the open world, or hostile in instanced PvP.
oh shit I just re-upped all my accounts and now my plan is useless :(
Does anyone know how I can use multiple accounts to my advantage in looting the chest in Stranglethorn?
Can I ask what your plan was? I went there today after reading and nobody was there but the chest was in the middle. In the old days that would mean a rogue is hiding in stealth to backstab you, but I just don't think anybody plays there. Are you going to have your slaves all fight each other? That'd be a pretty cool multiboxing video.
Are you using IsBoxer? I have some ideas.
Try setting camera view, then send a 'send next click' keybind? You could use that for moving around too by turning on click-to-move first.
I have a VideoFX with click-thru that I use for mining/herbs/skinning from my slaves. That would work, probably the easiest way.
yeah I use ISB. Today I tried a couple times and both times there were probably 4-5 people. I could take them with a 5 man team, but no assist = dead
How about if you create a macro and put all the enemy players in it. Would require extra setup each battle.
/targetexact name1
/targetexact name2
Might need a /stopmacro [exists, nodead] between each line.
Hmmm join as a party or raid not a problem.. follow and all should work.
just tested this and as a party assist and follow works as it should and the players are not red :)
oh and assist seems to work fine even when the player is tagged for pvp. but follow does not so nothing changed as far i can can.
what do you mean join as a party? There is no queue, its just an arena you drop into that's free for all.
Not a bad idea! What server are you on that you found chest all alone? Every three hours I go there and use the addon Server Hop to see if any realm has it up and no people fighting. There are always people. I've never seen it alone. =/Quote:

While probably the best way to attempt it, you can't change macros while in combat, and if new players join in during the fight, or there are Rogues that you can't see from the start, then you're still going to be scrambling to fight them.Quote:

You're testing this on the floor (ground level) of the open world Stranglethorn PvP free-for-all arena? The moment you touch the arena floor everyone on that floor turns hostile toward one another. Like I said, I haven't been there in forever, and I've certainly never tried to multibox it, so anything could have changed (however it sounds like Multibocks already tried it and everyone is hostile).Quote:

Wow, that is absolutely wild. I guess that's the confirmation that it works., unless it works differently on PvE servers versus PvP servers? I honestly didn't think they let people in parties stay friendly. So much for "free-for-all," I guess. :)Quote:

I will keep checking from time to time as an experiment.Quote:

I haven't, but in the past, people have come into the ISBoxer chat room asking how to multibox the Gurubashi arena. When talking with them I was always under the assumption they had already tried it and failed (because of friendlies turning hostile), or maybe they did actually try it and it die work differently back then.Quote:

The Highmaul coliseum is not the same as its a ins and does not let you join as a raid party. Seem and been with boxers that do it as assit did work down down.Quote:
