Hey all!
Just started up again and have been reminded of all the things I forgot, so this is a thread for all of things only a multiboxer will *eye roll* or *nod sagely* to.
I'll start it off with: The long turn in corridor corners.

Unfortunately, this is normally my go-to, and, at the moment, I can't seem to come up with another. Although, I usually say something along the lines of, "You gotta steer like an 18-wheeler," which I stole from Svpernova years ago.Quote:

One thing I can't get used to when playing solo is that my interrupt is on such a long cooldown, normally I have pummel, spear hand, counter spell and counter shot all in a nice round robin.
I keep pressing my follow key even when running a solo toon. It's such a habit at this point that I catch myself doing it after combat, after getting on a flying mount, logging in, etc.
running up spiral stairs and losing a toon, when you run back down to get your lost toon he would run the spiral stair down aswell due to still being at /follow on your main such that you can't catch him until you reach the bottom
happend in the old orgirmmar flight tower way too many times (and I had really trouble to understand how that even works in the beginning xD)

They follow and with a quick ALT press they scoot forward as long as I hold the key down. Tower climbing is no longer a problem!
I'll add one for the thread: Inventory Management. Everyone swears it isn't a problem. PFT. Try managing 5-10 inventories!
so it's both follow and fwd ? you get a million "follow broken" raid alerts while you press the key (or removed that warning from jamba/ema; but then how do you know when you do lose a guy ?)
collection quests
The joys of un-shared collection quests!
The beauty of Sunfire/Moonfire spam!
Melee characters running off into the distance when they should be hitting the boss :O

Works very well on sharp corners with a little practice.
Lining up the whole team to mine/herb a node with one click.
Edit: Thought of another one, moving all toons a bit closer to a particular flight path so that they all end up at the same place when using the flight master's whistle.
Finding a suspect, named like you and transmogged like you, sticking in the roots of an tree right on your farm route.
Having to do solo scenario's to progress through a quest chain of events!
Legion was a bit rough on the artifact weapons. I love the expansion but doing the same intro questline x5 was rough.
Ugh, I won't even do the artifact quests on alts now, I just use the upgraded Heirlooms. They scale faster anyway. But even in BFA we still get these single player scenarios, that slow us down considerably.Quote:

I'm pretty sure Keyclone and a few other software versions predate ISBoxer, no ?Quote:

Yes, there were other apps that showed up pre-ISB but there was a gap of a year or two when people used hardware or hand-rolled apps to multibox. Hell, I multiboxed for almost a year before I found this forum. I was a holdout for a while as I thought I was doing pretty good without spending money on ISBoxer. We all started somewhere. ;) (Incidentally, I don't miss having to generate all my macros manually x5 every time something changed.)Quote:
