Rift

[Krago]

I have two keys and will try some simple DB when the Beta goes live this afternoon.

Planning on using ISBoxer on two screens and simple key repeating.

I'll report back on how it went and what if any issues I encountered.

I've got access to the beta, the game looks really neat. I've got so much going on this week I don't even know if I'm going to be able to play >.<

Got 2 keys (me + gf) going to try it to night, just plain singleboxing

[Zappy]

I got 2 accounts set up as well for beta testing, and played around a bit with it last night checking out the multiboxing aspect.

The first thing I found out is that it doesn't look promising to launch this game directly without using their launcher, so no automated startup. If you look closely under task manager (under windows 7), the launcher passes a ton of command line arguments, however, one of them appears to be a temp file that's created by the launcher and is different every time, so I don't know if there will be any way around that. All the other parameters are straightforward.

Once launched however, you can fire up a second launcher, and log in with a new account and a second copy of Rift.exe launches just fine. I was able to use keyclone to automatically add them, and then apply regions to them. From there, I was able to do window swapping, and key passing appears to be working just fine.

If I can get 2 boxing to be successful, then I'll try and get some more keys to see how it performs with a few more copies running.

I am able to launch 5 clients via ISboxer.. you need to have the dev build of IS to get it to work.. info here>> http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=896

Europe is down. Was able to create a char and then got booted.

i think when they sent out beta keys with 25 charges to everyone, they might have not been prepared for all the people trying to log in.

The question is, do they have some sort of IWT key or not.

well i managed to get in and play for 30 mins before they brought the server down heh. I am surprised that this thing taxes my graphics card as much as it does to be honest. I also have 1 of my 4 cores nearly pegged and the other 3 at 50% or so. I wonder if they are handling multiple cores correctly. only got about 4 quests done but it is nice to see a new look feel. really look forward to seeing the public quests/pvp stuff.

I dont know if anyone has figured this out yet but if you set your lead toon to your focus via the "Set Focus Target" keybinding then you can use this macro syntax on your alts to cast against your mains target:

cast @focustarget Bolt of Judgment


Macros are not documented at all it seems so if you guys have any useful macros please post them, no matter how simple they may be.
