but uness you have things like dailies and you can get double rewards to buy somethign that take as a very long time in half the time, it isnt a big deal.
the biggest advantage will be the freehold if you get one, or being able to buff / support yourself to have an advantage in 1v1 pvp or solo farming. or maybe bard buffs will only last 10 seconds or something, who knows
so its possible than dual boxing doesnt really do much, depending on how the game is made
Steven has already declared it.

Macro's are supposed to not be a thing but they've gone backwards a bit on that too by saying some macro's are ok
lol
If this is the same guy and it may be, the server hes on will become toxic. It's an unfair advantage and he tries to defend it. It's a form of the rich using their money to gain an advantage in a game, supporting this is ultimately support p2w
The question is do they want hundreds of players multi boxing or do they want millions of players each playing 1 character at a time. Financially speaking you will lose your entire player base if the best way to play the game is to multi-box with 2-1000 characters all in one spot under your control, unethical. Is this the type of crowd they want to attract to their game or do they want people to play fair? If they are going to allow multi boxing and encourage it then you should not have to run more than 1 game at a time. That second video needs to go viral.
I personally am against multi-boxing, addons, macros etc. but if they want the additional monthly subs that bad then I guess it's up to them. The only logical reason I can think of for allowing it because it's never had a positive result in any game that generally allowed it.
It's why i stated earlier in the thread it blew my mind when they were against botting and scripting but allowed that. It's been a controversial transparent open development lol
Toast is apparently not working there anymore.
How so, and where did you hear that she no longer works there? Curious.

"Faith restored" he said at the end (9:24).
So when he uploaded the video he already had faith.
That doesn't mean they still don't plan to allow it. It just has to be under their conditions.. lol
Whalers welcome, come multi-box lol

look at the status effects for elemental. is it that difficult to apply different elemental effects with three similar mages?
Not really considering synergy of magic schools exist and if you multibox with 3 mages you could essentially be in control of your procs vs cooperative gameplay or random occurances.
like i said, look at the status effects for elemental schools.
lol focus firing is essential strategy regardless. Based on your wording, sounds like you are in favour for allowing multiboxing.
Even L2 with its macros system didn't let you control 3 windows easily if you didn't use some scripts or several keyboards or some shit like that. And I want Ashes to be even more difficult than that. Especially when it comes to synergies.
I'm happy for mages who have their cute little reactions between fire, electricity and ice, but I'd hope that these reactions won't do nearly as much dmg as a good synergistic chain that requires more skill than pressing 3 buttons.
I'm just referring to the augment of magic school synergy. I'm assuming most mage secondary archetypes could pull it off too. I just used mages for simplicity.
There is ways to essentially make multiboxing easier. Dont technically need several peripherals depending on set up and positioning.
And something like reactive synergy timers that depend on target's actions would put a higher floor on synergies being viable for multiboxers.
anyways it doesnt matter too much. people will still kill you.
And summons, will defend us if we are attacked, 1 min afk? Or do they look how we are being killed?
i think you gonna have to click each time...
They could but based on what we've seen with classes, combat and "tab" targeting it's not likely. They want people to pay for additional monthly subs on several account, extra cosmetics etc. Based on how multiboxing works you make it sound like people who have used it don't know how to play games. Come multi box but we'll make unplayable... boy that sure makes it sound like the devs know what they're doing with design choices lol
The way it generally works is all the characters and inputs are generally linked to the "alpha" character. What you do on the alpha is generally mirrored to the others. If you harvest something, they'll all try to harvest it too essentially. If you do an attack, they'll all do it too. If you target something, they'll essentially target it too.
