The End

[Mosg2]

Once you play with it for 20 minutes, you'll find all the zone lines and know when you have to manually move the alts forward.

I'm DK+4 shaman right now and I'm makin' about 25 badges a day on each toon minimum. You just skip the bosses that're bitches.

Idk, the more I read it sounds more of a bother to upgrade to WoTLK rather than just stay w/ TBC. PvE server I compete w/ no one but myself and I never did a heroic even on a single toon and I never saw the sso area so sounds like I got months of entertainement I havent even seen yet. As long as all the old badge gear is still there, I may actually just stay w/ TBC myself and avoid the hassles.

Personally, just my opinion but I wouldn't put it past Blizzard to do a bait and switch....RAF, then stick it to multiboxers. They cave into the whiners in almost everything else.

Breaking follow isn't just an issue in LK or with phasing. I don't know if anyone else has noticed it, but in Stormwind mage trainer area there is a big portal type thing at the top of the tower before you go in to the trainers (and have to come back out through it if you get portal to stormwind)...this always breaks follow for me going in or out



As for the issue of breaking follow that phasing causes, this is why we all have a second set of movement keys (usually the arrows) that we don't blacklist isn't it? The only place I can see the vehicle issue becoming annoying, outside of Wintergrasp, is if you get a bunch of Hogs for your group (or a mammoth + other mounts) or when trying to box Occulus (which I don't see ever being boxable unless they change vehicle to behave like mounts wrt follow)

[Vyndree]

To each their own, and I wish you luck in your future endeavours.

Personally, citing (even amidst other issues) "all classes have AoE now" is a pretty sad thing. Why shouldn't they all have AoE abilities? WE have AoE abilities now too. We can't have things easy -- things shouldn't just fall over as soon as we approach. Personally, I like new challenges like these, and I like learning how to deal with DKs and their new abilities.

As for the zoning issue -- I've only run across it a couple times, but I already have the habit of mashing my "follow" key whenever I'm travelling. Knyte is right, too -- both the portals in SW and Darnassus (from inner Darn to the boats/flightmaster) are both considered "zoning" of sorts and will break follow. Still, getting used to bumping the "follow" key periodically is a good habit -- have you ever gotten a rogue who was really good at distracts?

Vehicles? Annoying, but certainly not necessary. The fact that I can usually /follow on my alts and do the quest on my main mitigates things -- I admit, though, I haven't done Wintergrasp yet.

In any case, it's your personal decision and while I might not share your thoughts, I certainly respect them and wish you the best

The instances require more of a standard holy trinity setup of Tank / Healer / DPS. So 4 Shamans + Tank works well since the Shamans fit both DPS and healing. Being able to brute force mobs doesn't work anymore, unless at some point the gear your wearing extremely outweighs the content your doing. Additionally Earth Elementals did not scale to 80, they are still stuck in lvl 70 hp/armor land.

Before you made that switch, I would have suggested either dropping down to 4 Shamans and enjoying the content with a tank, or switching the 5th member to a tank.
Also you can ride the Siege vehicle in Wintergrasp which holds 4 people, it's pretty awesome for multiboxing since your players take no damage until the vehicle is destroyed, then just go to town

So I finished the huge grind of leveling my 5 Shaman to 80. I was starting to gear them up but I have hit my end. My frustrations have gotten the best of me. Some of the content seems to /slap multiboxers in the face. When you change zones the followers fall off, Wintergrasp or any other vehicles are a pain in the ass and every class and boss has some type of AOE. After putting in all the work to get my guys finished off I have had my fill. I transferred all my toons to 1 account and canceled the subscriptions on my other four accounts. Are others feeling the same way I am about this new content or did I just get overly sensitive about it? Either way I have had my fill with the changes.

I had a great time boxing and to be honest this community is truely amazing. The people here are unlike anywhere else I have been online. YOU people take the time to help others without flaming them. You are kind, helpful and just all around good people. Granted I did not post much in the 6 or so months I five boxed but I was here reading on a daily basis. Keep up the good work that you are doing here on the site and continue keeping the assholes away.

To finish this off I just want to truely thank ALL of you for the help you have given me in my adventure of multiboxing. You may not have directly talked to me but your forum posts helped me in one way or another. Maybe I'll come back to boxing, maybe I wont but either way the people on this site made learning to box a true pleasure. Keep up the good work helping the new people that come along. What you have here is truely special. Thanks again!

You are just not enjoying the game for whatever reason, but it's certainly not the game's fault. There has always been content that's more difficult for multiboxers to do. There have always been a lot of collection quests that multiboxers avoid. The solution to the phasing is extremely simple and doesn't affect anything but a slight lengthening of manual travel times.

[jettzypher]

Actually this isn't true. I did EVERY quest on each toon. Even the horrible collection quests, and they still fell off

well, despite the issues youre having, thats how it works...why you all have issues is beyond me. hardly a reason to be pissed at the game. gotta realize that even though MB is do-able, the game isnt meant to be played as such. so they wont take time to find those issues that only mb'ers run into and fix em.

[Malekyth]

heh, yeah, multiboxing is as much a trick of avoiding inappropriate content as anything. I think WotLK hammers that home with a big, big hammer though, so am not surprised at someone measuring how worth the trouble multiboxing is compared to the payoff, and declining. I can imagine myself making the same judgement, if I weren't also silly for re-rolling every fourteen and a half minutes anyway. That reminds me, I still haven't tried RFK with a fury Warrior, two arcane mages, a shadow priest, and a resto shaman! Be right back!

[Niley]

Im actually pretty bored with content already, everything raid wise cleared in first week, all heroics but one boxed...Im not a big fan of pvp. I might just go back to single account too and less playtime.

[Coltimar]

I'm kind of struggling too, but I see Fuzzyboy post a video every day of new stuff he has whopped and i know that I can do all he can if I stick with it. It just may take me longer is all.

Best of luck to you.
