How do you think WOTLK is going to change multi-box progression?

[Havelcek]

I was thinking last night that the chance of me getting my 5 fellas to 70 and geared out before WOTLK is probably fairly small. Do you guys think we might see a situation where the current heroic instance/badge gear grind is eliminated by plain old questing fro 70-80 in WOTLK? That would certainly remove a lot of tedium from the progression grind.

Well.. As blizzard has already said, they will do the same in WotLK as they did in BC, make the early level greens about the same as the lowest level tier items available in the previous version of the game, making the first greens you get in Northrend T4 equivalent..

[Ifalna]

Yes. Yes we will.


The only reason Im bother is that as there is no release date yet, or open beta started, we still have months to go.

I've already stopped trying to progress my existing 70 teams, and feel in some way "released" from that.

I'm now doing a whole load of different things, including bringing up a new team that I'll get to 70 just in time to continue levelling them right through to 80

I don't want to derail this into Yet Another Speculation Thread, but there was a flurry of speculation a while ago that WotLK would be around November. That was reading between the lines of a financial report from Blizzard as I recall, and would suit me fine.

Yes.

Well, /follow command is slated to be taken out of game with the release of the new expansion. I think this will end Multi Boxing for good for many of us here.























Ok I'm joking!

4 months sounds about right, and November gets them in the store in time for the beginning of the Xmas shopping season.

I'm not sure what to do. I'm tempted to take one of my 70's solo, just to enjoy the expansion...I doubt I'll have 5 at 70 by then, but who knows? I will be able to 3 box a team, so maybe I'll just do that. Then there's the whole MB a deathknight team thing...

Dunno, I'm not worried about it, and that's fine...which is weird.


MB Deathknights...mmmm...

I'm sure its going to be a lot of fun. Only this mounted combat will look hard to controll it 5 times, but if i like to heroic MGT, wich is also cleared by multiboxers, where you need to swim away from shit, i think this will be possible to controll after a while.

Those working with me are lucky I am in a good mood. If you'd caught me with that on a bad day, I might have killed someone.

This is partially true. True blizzard has stated the new wotlk gear will quickly replace even the best BC gear (as you would expect going up 10 levels), but it will NOT be as drastic as BC was.

When BC came out, they made a drastic change to the amount of STA gear had. This made the lowest of greens replace the best gear quickly. This drastic change will NOT happen in WotLk (confirmed by blizzard). In there own words, "the gear will simply be better". So farming for gear is not as futile as it was with the release of BC. If you are in full T4 or S4, yes your gear will become outdated, but I see it as a very real possibily that you could level to 80 with it.
