BOXability of SWTOR

[47Savages]

I am not in the Beta for SWTOR but the consensus in RevenantGaming is that SWTOR combat will NOT allow multiboxing. The lack of an InteractWithTarget mechanism and neglect of Macros darken our future...

I hope that opinions differ outside of Revenant. Anyone out there Beta-ing that sees the possiblity of boxing SWTOR out of the gate?

Not sure if bioware will actually allow multiboxing, different company, different rules. Hopefully they do and they will have the needed elements though, however I think i'll have to play the game single player just cause its a new game, and I've decided to single box any new game to get the feel for the game mechanics.

On a side note, can't wait to be a sith!

There's a follow button and an assist party member button. As long as they allow multiboxing we'll figure out a way to do it.

Hmm, I think I'll send a message and inquire, but follow, and assist is a great start!

IWT is a fairly new thing, people boxed for years and years without it. Follow and assist wil get'er done if you really want to do it.

it works. with assist and follow we are golden. we were just saying in warzones with all the knockbacks and pits and terrain its gonna be a bitch.

Thanks for the reassurance! *puts the revolver back in the drawer* I will avoid warzones like Huttball, I suppose.

I played two computers side-by-side for two years before I ran into someone multiboxing. At worst I can do that again...

I know a lot of boxers multibox "mostly" to PvP. But i only PvP as a side thing. I have always boxed for the PvE benefits. It will be a bitch to box in the WZs for sure.. just the way they work is WAY different than any current BGs. For PvPrs, you will get the most enjoyment from open world I guess. And you might end up soloing your toons through WZs for PvP gear.

In this game I am only going to two-box. With two of the right classes and well geared companions, you have a full group. Those for you that end up 4-boxing might have an edge if you can get it done.. but for me 2 will do the job. And all I need is passable keystrokes../follow and assist!

Please explain how the warzones are so different from BG's in WoW.

Apparently the difference is light-sabers and cool voiceover's you'll kill yourself when hearing after playing a month.
