Cata not so MB friendly

"It's ok that you like the game easy man! There's ton of people out there like that. I however, want more instances like the last few that came out and less crap like UK."

That thread has become full of elietest jerks all trying to flex the E-Peen. Wow your amazing you Boxed this, that, and the other. Here is your cookie good sir. No no really here it is!

By no means am I saying I want a hand out. By no means am I saying I want a walk in the park. But I agree with multiblocks 100% in the fact that if an instance took me 2 hours to do I wouldnt play this game. Then again Multi and I seem to be the only two that are in the beta. (at least from what I can tell) You have no idea whats in store for you.

If you boxed ICC 10/25 great all that stuff is gone by 82-83 so im not really sure what you mean by this. Perhaps you mean then your good at movements and situations sure.

Look I play this game because I like the fantasy. I like to steam roll dungeons. I like to kick the crap out of people in PVP and I like to do good in raids.....

If I want to get my ass kicked I drive down to the hood with a sign around my neck that is simular to the one in Die Hard 3.....

Not even sure what thread your talking about, so you lost me. This place is for people to show their E-peen, hell its what started it (thanks aelli!)

I cleared the Throne of the Tides without using CC, we just interrupted heals and plowed through most of it. The only thing we didn't accomplish was that damn ring event, it wasn't functioning. An instance shouldn't take you two hours, difficult does not mean long. If it's to hard for you then find another way to gear up, until its easier. Just because I can't multibox everything doesn't mean that I want the game to be a cakewalk.

I really do hope they follow that progression line of
- Normal 85 instances
- Heroic 85 Instance
- First Raid Tier

would be quote easy to implement. all they would need is to set a minimum gear score required to enter the dungeons. that would ensure correct progression.

What I don't like is how they have changed the physical mechanics of the game over time.

I went back to City of Heroes that i used to play and I was impressed with how much it hasn't changed. You can pull mobs to the corner without having to worry about the mobs shooting through the walls. they have added content without breaking what the base game mechanics. The instances or quests can be solo-ed but the whole game is geared for teaming up. you're much better off on a team of 8 than solo.

World of Warcraft is more like World of Collectioncraft and Blizzard is decided that it's better for you NOT to be on a team unless in a dungeon. They don't want anyone teaming up for any reason. All quests that used to require a team have seriously dumbed down content or eliminated.
Kill quests have nearly been eliminated.
collection quests are now more complicated, you have to use something in your bag for almost every quest and they give no support to help you keep track of these quest items.
they rob you of your natural talents for those stupid vehicle/mount quests.
And the ever-so popular "only one person on the whole server can do the quest at a time"..... so if your waiting in line for about 15k other players to finish it. (when the new content just opens up )
The game is not what it once was. it used to be 60-80% simple kill quests and now its 100% collection via bag items.

If getting rid of mboxers was the goal it seems to be working, I have no desire to upgrade my 10 accounts. Right now Blizzard will be lucky if I upgrade one.

I recently got into the beta, even though I haven't been playing wow for almost a year. I am currently deciding if I am going to start again, and have therefore looked upon Cataclysm from a multiboxers perspective. Here is what I've gathered so far.

It will most likely be a pain to travel (for mb'ers) with flying mounts because of the phased content. There is phased content pretty much everywhere.

I do not see quests as a big problem, as I don't see collection quests as a pain. There are a minor portion of the quests which most likely will be frustrating (weirdo flying mount quest in Hyjal cave etc) because of the heavy vehicle use. Otherwise phased content will most likely bother you more than the quest itself.

People seems to care about /click macros, and since the patch the other day macros and addons have been enabled again. Comma macros doesn't seem to working as of now, but I am not entirely sure as I never used those kind of macros (I did test it with some simple macros). If this change remain as of now, it will most likely bother some mb'ers.

As for the dungeons I haven't really done any of them. I am more concentrating on the quests as of now but when I ding 85 (tomorrow hopefully) I will check out the dungeons.

If you've got any questions about Cataclysm I think this is the place - I will do my best to answer any questions :-)

I would believe leveling using multiboxing would even be more easy than single char leveling in endgame cataclysm content (75-85).

They changed mobs to have a lot of life and to hit like a truck. So if you level 2 characters instead of one, every kind of kill quest just will be done much faster.

I only got one single account on beta, and currently leveling one of my chars in uldum. You need to use cooldowns if you pull 2 mobs, and it takes up to a minute to kill both. And they hit for 3-5k noncrit and 8-15k crit.

If you do that as a 5 toon team, it should be really easy. The collection quests are a pain in the ass, yes, but there are not many quests which need to collect a lot of items.

I had one of our uber geared paladins from my raiders guild join beta a few days ago. for Hyjal questing he was like " OMG! I'm so OP! These mobs just melt!" And when he went to deepholm he was like " OMG, they need to fix paladins! I can easily die on a sing mob pull if i don't heal myself!

They might tone down the mobs in deepholm and the higher zones * 82-85 areas ) because a lot of people are QQing about soloing those zones. But yea, multiboxing them will be easy sauce!

plus people need to remember that when all's said and done, you end up with 5 (FIVE) level 80, so for all i care it could take double the time that of leveling a single toon, it still wouldn't bother me.

^^ 85's ?

I'm fully expecting there to be a huge wave of "AMG THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!ONE!!11" the first few months after Cata launches. It was the same with Wrath. Then people gear up properly and then blow through instances.

I haven't seen any fight so far in Cata where I said "Man, that's just not boxable." I mean come on people. Multiple people have boxed 10m ICC up to Lich King and one or two people have actually 4-boxed Lich King. That's insane. If ICC is boxable then without a doubt any and all Heroics in Cata will be doable.

If nothing else, we boxers are quite creative when it comes to problem solving in game.
