4 Boxing and story line

[mmmbox]

Ok.. well I'll list ONE thing about WoW that makes it easier than any other game ( not to mention everything else ) a little thing called IWT. You can get quests..loot quest items off mobs....stick on a guy when in melee ( with all your guys ) you can do all these things and more from your lead toon and never have to switch to your alts. That alone makes it easier than SWG.. not to mention..macros. ( castsequences, /clicks.bla bla bla.)

you kinda made my entire case with that, to box wow you need all that (macros etc) to box efficiantly, jamba, IWT etc and so on.

I 4 box swtor just as efficiant without all of it because of the way swtor is designed, mouse repeat region for join conversation and you basically set for questing and you have achived what in wow you need jamba/macros etc.

but when it comes down to boxing none of that matters, what matters is efficiancy in combat, again here due to the ability design of swtor to achive dreamlike efficiancy in swtor from a boxing perspecitve is hillarious.

you refere to the tools wow gives you to achive your boxing goals (/assist name /cast sequence) etc.

I already told you, stop placing wow thinking on swtor, ISboxer is your uber friend here also swtor doenst respond the same way as wow does to input commands like follow, assist etc

ill give you an example.

you make a mapped key in isboxer, we call it E, to that key we map the follwing functions

step 1 - target char - follow char (we tell the game to target and follow what ever char is my main atm, yes with is boxer i have full FLT)
step 2 - assist char - (remember from follow we already have our "main" targeted
step 3 - press buttons 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (now this is what i mean by saying the way swtor handles this input is hillarious and because of ability design)

(what you need to understand here is that the game tries to fire of ability 1-8 (you need to set que time to zero as well), meaning 1st ability in the order 1-8 not on cooldown will be triggered, wow doesnt accept input like that, sto has an inbuild filter that prevents it, EQ doenst work that way etc and so on)

the language of wow has 1 000 000 words, swtor has 1000, but you say wow is easier because you have spoken it for 7 years

(i have a melee team which is why i put follow in there)

you just place your combat abilites in the order you want them to fire of as long as they have cool downs and last you place the ability with out cool down.

By some weird coincidence the abilites in this game (dps) that doesnt have cool down or "cost" are the ones you want last in a prio order.

because of how swtor works and how the game responds to the input of these commands you get an EFFECT in game i never dreamed of as a multiboxer would be this easy to achive iwt doesnt even come close, your chars will dance with you where ever you go, never facing the wrong way and so on, do this ingame and you will understand what i mean.

IWT for questing, i will give you that, but again, swtor doesnt even come close to the teidiousness of wow's gather 10 - 20 of x crap

I am not saying you cannot achive similar results in any other game, but no way near this easy with this near perfect efficiancy (from a boxing perspecitve).
