The End

[Frosty]

I've only run into a few problems with the mount quests.\
And most of my problems were do to my UI and the pet bar not showing up when needed.

One of the mount quests (flying a plane around a pit) I was able to park all my slaves on the ledge, and they got full credit for my main�s work.

While I�m sure Blizzard loves our money, multi-boxers are a very small percentage of the player base in WoW.
We�ve almost become a spin-off of the hard-core raiding players who scream there isn�t enough raid content.

The new content poses a challenge to us�but (IMHO) part of the fun of multi-boxing is overcoming new challenges as they arise.

This.

I have noticed several quests like this. Even the Drake Hunt daily you can park your alts by the quest giver (make sure they picked up the quests) and they will get credit when your main comes back with the drake. I'm having a great time, I'm not sure where everyone is hitting a wall. Granted, I only box 3 atm (shaman, pally, hunter) so collection quests don't kill me.

I've also been following the quest guide at www.wow-pro.com and it's made running around doing quests enjoyable. My RL good friend 2-boxes a shaman and hunter and we've been clearing instances unbelievably easy.

I strongly suggest that people take their time leveling up. As someone here has said, if you didn't get the world first achievement, then you're shooting yourself in the foot by rushing.

Fellow boxer?

Sorry to see you go Hatred. I have visited this forum for a long time but just made an account today so you don't know me. Your one of the people that I have seen on the forums a lot though. Hope you find fun in the game again

[Hatred]

To clear up a few things here. My being frustrated had nothing to do with quests. I had already gotten my Shaman to level 80. Breaking follow here and there was a hell of an annoyance but not impossible to overcome. I have seen over and over people replying that "oh its not supposed to be easy", are you kidding me? I took on boxing because it was fun, I took on boxing because it was a challenge and something new. Please dont act like I gave up because it was to HARD. Being hard has nothing to do with it, I simply dont like the changes that Blizzard made at this point when it comes to play for the multiboxer.

For those who are talking about the phasing and following and such -- do you have 280% (or faster) flying mounts and using them in Northrend?

I just hit 77 yesterday and bought cold flying, and honestly it was a bit frustrating. Just flying over a single zone (no phasing) and team members would constantly disappear for a few seconds and then reappear, dunno if it was server lag or my PC not being able to handle it. As a test I went back to Outlands and flew around Terrokar forest and SMV, no problems following and nobody fell behind.

In Northrend however pretty much every 20 seconds someone is gonna fall behind and get stuck, or appear that way on my party window/minimap causing me to constantly go back and forth trying to "gather the flock". I've had 0 problems btw up till now on land mounts. I have gotten into a pattern of inching forward a bit, waiting a few seconds, then inching forward again. Not exactly the thrill of epic flying I had in TBC. And yes, my graphic details are all the way down (experimented a lot last night).

Its probably just my underpowered PC, hopefully upgrading that will help a lot.

If it's not fun then stop.. nothing wrong with that. It's only a game.

IMO I don't believe Bliz has intentionally done anything to break boxers playstyle. Just part of the evolution of the game. I can see /follow being made to work in the future for vehicles. I think some of the frustrations that people might have comes from the all shamie teams. In BC most of the time a full shaman group would outdps the content. Right now the new dungeons are designed with 4dps slots in mind (tanks now contribute to the dps). In BC the design was with 3dps.. so it was easy for a 5 shaman team just wreck the place.

I'm personally taking it easy, I'm leveling 4 teams.. switching between them depending on what I feel like playing. They're mostly at 71/72 right now and I don't really feel like rushing through the content.

WIth the whole phasing .. I didn't really have problems so far. I rolled 4 DKs and at the start quests never had a problem with some being left behind.

No, but on a good day, I get about 25 FPS on my main with all the graphics turned down...and that's in any zone.
I've gotten so used to compensating for losing my toons I watch the mini map and can "feel" when one is about to drop off so I slow down for a second then resume.

And by the time I'm able to use/afford 280% flying...maybe they'll have a fix out. :P

Just a note about the follow breaking. Mashing follow constanly will not keep them together. Once they past the phase line your main vanishes and only reappears when you move your followers into his phase.

You simply stop the main, hit forward arrow on the followers (please bind a key for them, it's always useful) then hit follow, and continue on. On my setup this is costing me about 5 seconds per time. Out of 5 zones I have quested in so far, I only had phasing occur in the fog in Borean Tundra, so unless all of Ice Crown is a giant phasing zone, I'm kind of lost about why this is affecting people so badly.

Yes I know how to get my followers into the phase.. I posted the solution for it earlier. And yes Icecrown and Storm Peaks are filled with phased zones. Every area within those zones are phased because they unlock towns, factions, flight points, ect.. You will see once you get there and start flying around. Its so bad for me I am using the flightmasters most of the time to avoid having to mess with phasing getting to the town I want to visit.

[Multibocks]

Flightmasters?! Eeeww that is bad!
