Cata not so MB friendly

[heyaz]

by the subject it sounded like the whole game wasn't multibox friendly

you just meant the quests and leveling

it was like that before...

I truly hope that heroic modes are actually gonna be heroic. That slaying a new boss means something, even if it takes a while to nail it down. Most wotlk hc's were very easy for me to multibox (both as new boxer and new wow player). If the minimum difficulty level would be the ICC dungeons in sub 219 gear, then i'd be happy.

I don't think that any heroic should be multiboxable by any joe multiboxer. Not so much of the system (i.e. mounted combat), but rather due to the fight mechanics. Nothing wrong with a good portion of skill required to multibox cata hc's (even if that would mean i coming short myself).

^ this.

Seriously I really miss the challenge. It's way too casual atm. And to those saying the game isn't casual, look at this:

You ding 80, you can instantly grab about 4 BiS items (or at least iLevel 264 items) for your char. Easy? Go do VoA25 and grab another piece with a little luck. After that PuG or guild run ICC10 / 25 and you probably almost hit the gear cap without ever seeing Naxxramas, Ulduar or ToC. That has been impossible before and explains why many players don't know their class anymore. They have almost no experience before they enter the final raid of an expansion..

I did Alone in the Dark and everything but Lich King 25 HM in ICC on my single char, but stopped a while ago. Basically you are saying because of two bosses the content isn't casual. The problem is you get equal loot from all the other bosses in ICC too.

we're 2 years into the expansion.

if that wasn't the case, people would still need to run normals > heroics > Naxx > Ulduar > ToC > ICC.
no way people that level alts are going to do this again so blizz made it easier. It wasn't like that the day Wotlk cam out.

Ah I see you are an elitist. The fact that you have done Alone in the Dark puts you in a very small percentage of WoW players. But that isn't good enough for you, you need a giant arrow above your head saying, "Better than you, by a lot." You need a big set of spaulders that barely encompass your already huge head. Understand that what you are complaining about is only possible because we are at the end of Wrath. BTW, lol at winning anything in VOA25. I haven't won shit since I have been playing and that's a lot of vault raids.

Oh and quit hiding behind :

why many players don't know their class anymore

because we know you don't actually want the majority of the player base to have the same equipment as you.

I like blizzard's system. If you are casual then you are always 2 steps behind the raiders. Makes it much easier to take a break and then come back without having to raid Ulduar then ToC to see ICC. Fuck that.

edit: I realize that it's possible you have a character not listed, but none of your guys have ulduar completed and only one has a kingslayer title (which looks bought because there are not many other achieves). You better get caught up on Ulduar and ToC achieves, because you shouldn't be in ICC by your logic. Oh and pps I have no qualms about buying KS, I've done it on a character just so I could get invited to raids.

Lol I seriously don't want a flame war here, I just wanna say that first:

Those are my multiboxing characters I "abandoned" 6 months ago and now reactivated. I stated before that I did those raids on my single characters which are not listed here and which I don't play anymore.

Also, I didn't buy that Kingslayer, I helped some RL friends by migrating to their shitty PvE server because they couldn't get Kingslayer with their guild. That's why I transfered my team to their server and that way maybe get back to WoW again and prepare for Cataclysm. Anyway, I'm happy you like the game that way. Have fun.

Coming back to let people know what I have found thus far in my findings in the expansion. Its REALLY easy to level one character.

I just want to say that right off the bat. My pally (used one of my boxed pallies because I wanted to know what he would be in for) for all you DK pally teams (myself included) There seems to be alot more correctly timed button pressing with Pallies then there was in Wotlk. You also no long proc art of war for your free flash heal it ONLY works on exercisim.

The collection quests are Nuckin Futs! Im not kidding when I say this. One collection quest has you picking up scared rabbits... They run from you and its annoying as all hell single boxing it.

Dungeons. First boss in Vashij (sp) she makers her self immune does AOE dmg if your team is together and summons mobs that do dmg as well. She also puts down goo that if your standing is will kill you... fun times. The other bosses are pretty tough and the last boss was broken when we tried to fight him.

Blackrock. I have only done it one time and my group died over and over so we just quit out.

I believe I read somewhere that you will be able to do rated battle grounds for loot thats close to raid gear. I think if I do box this is how i will do it. From what I have seen (again not trying to be mister doom and gloom) They are trying to tighten the reigns on boxing Or they are trying to funnel us into PVP.

Just my 2 copper take it for what its worth.

I used IWT ( interact with target) for that quest and it was easy. Target the bunny..spam IWT until you pick it up..easy shiot! Aso, I'm finding the collection quests easier than wotlk and past. The items are never rare, you never need 30+ or anything. They still will suck for boxers but not as bad as pre cata IMO. The only time they are bad is when there are too few of the said mob(s) in the area. But they have mentioned fixing the spawn rate for those type of quests.

what's one quest in the light of hundred others.
Ever done that quest in Scholazar where you need to catch running chickens? that's a daily on top of that i believe.

Animalus. elder nadox etc. lots of mobs already have immunities and throw aoes and goo. eventually we still get them.

I'm looking forward to the new content regardless of what complications may arise while multiboxxing. Ingenuity will prevail and the community will be sharing tips and tricks left and right. The only thing that has me on the edge of my seat is whether holy power is going to pan out or not.
