Solo or Multibox in Expansion?

[Ualaa]

I'm leaning towards boxing in the expansion.

For me, the choice is to either five box or quit the game. One-boxing has not been fun in a very long time. Sure with Dungeon Finder, you can do heroics. I've not had a serious desire to raid content in a while. I'd rather have several teams to mess with, one team to do most of my battlegrounds/heroics with, and the freedom to play or quit in the middle of an instance.

Also like the transmute/gold thing, more to see what can be done then to make a certain amount. Almost all the toons on my teams have epic flyers, so not really a ton to spend gold on that I don't already have. Three teams have slow flyers still, but they exist (at the moment) purely for the transmutes...

Well just because your team of paladins never used it doesn't mean it won't have a large effect on people who used multiple classes.

Find spells that synch with each other and use multiple hotkeys in your dps rotation instead of just mashing one. A lot of us started multiboxing for a challenge.

For me the xpac won't be making it harder, will be making it even easier in fact.

And yes, I have multiple classes in my team. Ele sham, prot pal, spriest, resto druid, moonkin. And I don't use mouse broadcasting/repeater regions or click/clique healing.

I don't agree with the change to get rid of /click cast sequence macros, but I do agree that it makes it very easy to just faceroll encounters.

Is the removal of /click on the PTR? I was hoping it was just an error/glitch from all the changes they have been making. We'll get by without it, but it sure was nice. I even used it when solo boxing, it allowed me to have much greater situational awareness, while maintining my usual DPS.

I'm going to be boxing right from the start, Already pre ordered 5 copies (4 regular 1 collector's) and 5 60 day time cards. I'll be doing PVP leveling first, with some questing mixed in, to get gear upgrades. After my shamans are 85 ill move to my mixed team and do mostly dungeons (unless they are too hard, in which I'll quest for gear upgrades first) Should be fun, with all the new class changes coming. I should start stockpiling some gold... I'm gonna want that 310 flying on all 24 of my 80s.... gonna cost a small fortune!

I will be doing a mixture of both.
(I have pre ordered my 6x cataclysm - 5 normal, 1 LE).
On Grim Batol will box my lock's, Priest & mage & shammies. & solo the pally
On Aggramar will solo the following: Druid, Rogue and Hunter

I'll be 5 boxing from the start with my 5 shaman team for pvp. I'm totally going to ruin some alliance players lives during leveling since i'm on a pvp server and i'm sure it will be a gankfest race. A lot of quest hubs are shared with both factions AND DO NOT have guards at the questgivers currently.

After that i'll level an instance team (not sure combo yet). Then start thinking about my 2nd pvp team. Possibly 4 dk's/1 disc priest. Dk's seem pretty damn good in beta right now. I"m really gonna miss the pallies and the bubble's but with dk's actually doing good damage now, 4 death grips will be a riot.

The cost of the expansions certainly sucks though, 6 accounts to buy, ouch. I wonder if the stores will even let me buy 6 boxes on release day... hmmm....

You can pre-download the client and purchase a digital copy online form Blizzard like SC2. I wish I knew this before pre-ordering 4 normal copies and a CE copy from EB games who are going to make a sheer $100 profit off me on top of what Blizzare selling the shit for.

Makes me sad. But ah well.

Hm, how did EB games made 100 bucks extra from you with those retail boxed compared to those digital copy online ? They should be the same price, no ?
and I thought the digital copies were later than the retail ones, not sure though.

Plus a lot of folks were collecting those retail boxes (lay them on top of each other to make matchstick house, idk)

We are talking Australia here.

EB dont lowertheir prices to account for exchange rate.

WoW Cata Normal is $58 AU

Digital Download is $39 US.

We are 97c in the dollar to the US.

The colelcters edition is estimated to be $150 AU

vs $79 US

I might be ending my multiboxing career. Kinda sucks but watching lots of the videos almost every boss has a gimmick that will probably stop boxers in their tracks. Some of the stuff just won't be able to be done. Don't even think we're at a we'll see state anymore- it's going to be rough to box dungeons.

This has been some shitty downtime these past few months. Nothing to do in WOW and I only renewed to do Brewfest. Haven't played or done a dungeon for months now.

Hell I even started playing City of Heroes for the first time and been having a blast. Doubt it'll be something I play years on end like WOW but it's a nice alternative.

If Cataclysm came out today I wouldn't even be excited. I was really stoked months ago it's just been such a long wait with the same old same old.

So I dunno might be done with WOW for good. SWTOR around the corner and other things seeming more worthy of my time.
