The Beginning:

To introduce the team:

Tzek - Dwarf Priest
Tzec - Human Warlock
Tzen - Human Warlock
Tzef - Human Warlock
Tzed - Human Warlock


I have been reading the forums and as everyone seems to be Horde i created this Alliance team to help create guides and videos!

Wanted to try an irregular team without shamans :P and therefor Team Tz were created from the depths of hell and the holyness of the heavens....

I'm still running my girls (2xShaman, 2xWarlock) through SM. The latest rotation has been running through SM:Graveyard and then hopping over to SM:Library and then to SM:Cathedral. (Don't ask me why I skip Armory. I just do.) What I might do is time each run and record the xp/minute that I get for each given my playstyle. Then just keep running that wing over and over again.

As much as I'm focused on leveling this team to 60 through boosting (I feel I can get them up to around 40...

A Couple of things!

Dragonblight:
Run Ramps on Dk (onecoldnight)
Start My Pallidan
Get A Bank Alt started

Magtheridon:
Post Recruiting Threads for Worst Case Scenario
Make Titansteel for Bike Mount'
Lvl Mage up

Blackrock:
Uh idk lvl up my random stuff there
Try and get into the MC raid if it happens

I reworked all my ret pally's macros last night. Now I have a single macro (called it 'iWin') that makes use of /click to call 4 different ones.

For those interested, here's the raw macro definition from my macro-cache.txt file.

...

10 days left in the RAF bonus. Real life is getting in the way (a good thing), so my play time has been somewhat limited. However, I've been trying to self boost one final team through instances.

Well, last night, I figured out I was doing it all wrong (and my team was already level 20). *cry*

My RAF setup: Account 2/3/4/5 are all linked to Account 1. I have level 60 paladins and druids on all accounts.

Account 1 (level 60) + Account 2/3/4/5 (level 20)...

RAF ends on the 13th (only 11 more days!). As I mentioned in my last entry, I created a new 4-man team (2x Shaman + 2x Warlock) with the intent of boosting them through instances as much as possible with my level 60 prot pally. I leveled them off quests to 8 and then took them into RFC. This worked well, though I was expecting more XP/mob. However, the lack of XP/mob is more than made up for by the fact that I can kill a ton of them all at once, so the XP adds up quickly.

Once the...

Well, this morning, the druids hit 60. I was going to hit 60 last night (I was sitting at 97% done with 59 when I logged), but I was just too tired.

For some reason, going from 57-58 seemed to take forever. I had intended to hit 58 and then switch over to Outlands and finish off the remaining 2 levels. Well, after hitting 58, I still have a few quests left to turn in (I was in Winterspring at the time), so I figured I'd finish those off. Before I knew it, I was 59 in < 30 minutes...

It's really unimaginable to even think that one is able to get hosting services in such low prices. Now the question emerges are those hosts stable? Now just consider for a situation where one webhosting on a computer suddenly notices that his website is no longer visible on the net. At that moment of time the only thing that will come to one's mind is he has paid $12 for the year last month so he/she should not have any problems", but he has to. Its even not surprising if one's host, who is...

The druid team hit the border of 52/53 this morning. My main hit 53, while everyone else is on the edge of 52/53. I'm still on a 4 levels/day pace since the last time I blogged, though I really don't think we're going to be able to level another group fast enough before we hit the RAF expiration.

Hinterlands provided a BIG boost last night and I still have a handful of quests to do there. In particular, I picked up all the quests I could. When I went to turn them in (about 8-10 of...

Start my DK on Blackrock over again....

Onecoldnight

So if you're bored and see me on drop a line.

LOL?
Why is it every time I run across someone new out in the wilderness, they stop and "LOL" my team? This has happened no less than a half dozen times already. I mean, you could stop and say "Hello, nice team you got there." Why "LOL"? Do I have something on my shirt? Is there gnome stuck on the bottom of my shoe?

Regular Updates
Last night was hella laggy, to the point of frustration. If you didn't loot bodies, use vendors or play...

After a long weekend without WoW (was in DC, with Internet access, but no WoW), I played a little yesterday and got the druids up to level 37.

Remapped my small thumb button on the mouse (would normally act as a 'forward' button in a web browser) to have my slaves cast rejuvenation on my main.

Remapped my wheel button on the mouse to have my slaves cast regrowth on my main.

Remapping the mouse buttons was a little experiment to see how this would go....

It was sad.... very very sad.... idk that I'll try and work on it. It was so sad

I hate RMA's (shouldn't have shipped something DOA to me in the first place!)

Got the stream up and running last night, but I'm not happy with the quality so far (everything is a bit too washed out). If anyone can share their FME 3.0 config, please send me a message. My fear is I'm ISP-bound and I really don't want to upgrade my connection.

I'm about ready to break my "100% quests - no instances" rule with the druids. The quest route I have seems to be jumping...

Let's talk about the macros I'm using on my druids.

Macro limits (without addons)

• 18 global macros
• 18 character-specific macros
• 255 characters per macro

Global Macros

1. Focus (set focus in party order, checking for not dead, exists; if all else fails, target leader as a fall through)
2. Follow (follow and various 'accept' script calls to automate group invites, quest sharing, trading, release spirit, retrieve corpse)
3. AssistAtt (assist focus and start attack)
4. Rejuv1 (target

...

• My druids (RabidBear, RabidCheetah, RabidGrizzly, RabidHawk, RabidRaven) are all now 21.
• Played time is about 7 hours now.
• Due to my hardware issues and network crapping out at the wrong time, leveling these guys was pretty difficult this weekend.
• I'm having a hard time finding a groove with this team. I'm probably too use to having all melees from the pally team.
• Tank + 4 casters should be easier, but I just can't get a good grip on how I should be playing my tank (feral, bear).
• I

...

Ok, so I finally nuked my drives and installed Windows 7.

Bad

• Random reboots are still happening.
• To add more frustration to the reboot issue, Windows 7 has this wonderful "Windows System Repair" feature that pops up when you crash and reload. The default is to attempt a repair (with another option to start Windows normally). The 'repair' option gives you the option to cancel but gives you the message "You cannot cancel this operation". Seems pretty f'd up

...

My random reboots are back (and getting frequent). This is extremely frustrating.

System Specs

At this point, I'm convinced its either the motherboard (ASUS has a new BIOS coming out today) or my RAM. I'm hoping the BIOS update fixes things since it purportedly adds more memory support.

On a related note, I picked up another hard drive yesterday, bringing me up to 3 physical drives.

My current plan is to backup my system one last time,...

Team Rabid!

• RabidBear (leader)
• RabidCheetah
• RabidGrizzly
• RabidHawk
• RabidRaven

Details

• Everyone is a Tauren druid (moo).
• No idea what specs to go with, so I'll have to read up or listen to suggestions from the fans.
• Screenshotting every time RabidBear levels up. Unfortunately, still haven't gotten the /played to show up right.
• Currently, everyone is sitting at level 4.
• Played for an hour this morning, but spent 90% of that time configuring all the UIs and fighting with

...

• Short post today.
• Ok, so the paladins are now 60 (main) and 59 (slaves) - basically gained a level last night doing some questing around Plaguelands.
• Once I hit 60, I'll be creating a new team. No name(s) yet. I find this the hardest part of creating new characters. Being prepare with a bunch of names helps.
• New team will be 5 x druids (woo hoo! cows!).
• I'm going to try something new this time. Instead of doing instances, I will be doing 100% questing, with a goal of getting

...

Team Sandwich

• Good news: SandwichA ding'd 60 this morning!
• Not-so-good news: The rest of the team is still 58.
• Did a lot of questing this weekend.
• Felwood + Winterspring = lots of quests (and with many giving around 25k xp, leveling was f-a-s-t).
• I'll finish these guys off to 60 (to maximize the grant-a-level reward) then switch to another team.

Next Steps

• Now that the paladin team is (almost) 60, it's time to start a new team (since RAF is still going strong).
• Looking for suggestions,

...

I pop the Blackrock server about a month or so ago... currently I have:

lvl 61 troll DK Jarnieblue
lvl 13 troll WAR Erntraz
lvl 05 troll MAG Flinlek (banker)
lvl 06 troll ROG Sertzurt

Plans:

DK just tooling around mainly there for GOLD
Warrior lvling up by tanking instances only
Bank/Mage uh sell everything
Rogue idk I don't really like playing rogues...

Tons of great info in his post!

Update 10/10
Home from college for the weekend. I had some Best Buy Reward Zone Certificates to use up so I decided to buy my mouse. Logitech G5 mouse, on clearance at Best Buy for $55 and in addition I used $35 worth of Reward Zone certificates. Total cost of mouse: $22.48 tax included(orig $62.00).

• Wednesday night, we (Team Sandwich) made a guest appearance on Tim's stream. Tim wanted to see what a paladin team would look like in action, so we went to the Sunken Temple instance.
• To see us in action...
  1. Go to Justin.tv - Multiboxing in World of Warcraft Archives
  2. Click on Sep 23rd 2009
  3. Fast forward to 9:26 (Right before we get into the instance - you'll skip the 1/2 hour it took us to get there, including the Alliance scum that killed us.)
• Note that there are only 4 paladins in that

...

Questing

• I've gone back to doing some questing instead of instances. I've kind of been missing the joys of doing quests and following some of the other mini-story lines. Currently, I'm going through Hinterlands (great cluster of quests there).
• XP from questing has been pretty good. In 30 minutes in the Hinterlands, I gained an entire level (48-49). Most quests were turning in for 18,900 xp.
• I'm actually using Jame's Horde Leveling Guide addon and have been trying to avoid the creature poop

...

Since my last entry...

• Went from 42 to 48 (main) / 47 (slaves)
• Wasted a ton of time checking out Brewfest.
• Wasted a ton of time doing Big Game Hunter in STV. Should have done this earlier so that the XP would have been worth it.
• Got killed a bunch of times in STV trying to get the flight path to Booty Bay.
• Ran Zul'Farrak about 4-5 times, but never got all the way through due to RL interruptions.
• Hammer of Wrath x5 = Fun
• Might do Sunken Temple next. Haven't done that in about 4-5 years.

...

PvP and Bugged Quests

• Went and played with the pirates in Tanaris. Good XP for pirates, great for quests. (FYI: Quest turn ins are usually 10k+ right now.
• Teamed with a DK and traded deaths with an Alliance druid (80) and priest (44). I think the priest got tired, but the druid was a lot of fun, even if I wasn't very effective. Had to log in the evening or I would have had more fun.
• After I was done with the pirate quests (kill a bunch and a named boss), turned in the quests only to find

...

• Hit levels 38, 39 and 40 this session.
• Ran SM:Cathedral 3 or 4 times.
• Upgrade on the shield for my prot pally. Aegis of the Scarlet Commander
• Also picked up the Triune Amulet off Whitemane.
• Couple of random weapon upgrades as well. Sure makes a difference when you don't upgrade for 10-15 levels.
• Probably moving on to Tanaris for a while to do some question for a change.

• Fixed my issues with Herod.
• Finally got off my lazy butt and created a self-heal macro for all my toons.
• Herod whirlwind's, everyone backs off and casts self-heal.
• Now I'm 2-for-2 on Herod. Life is better.
• Dinged 36 and 37 in 2 runs of SM:Armory.
• Moving on to SM:Cathedral next session.

• Pally's went from 30 to 35 today.
• Ran SM:Graveyard, SM:Library and SM:Armory, but wiped on Herod in the Armory.
• Had a bit of luck with an auction the other day, 350g for an item! Money issues are slowly disappearing.
• Prot pallies are so wicked awesome.
• Have decent weapons for all of my guys now, so we're mowing through elite's like crazy.
• Need to set up macros for individual healing and/or group heal.
• Interact with Target and Click to Move are still FTW. Melees are a piece of cake

Well ive been currently considering a new team as my laptop has recently destroyed itsself and i have to reset my pwnboxer...

Been thinking:

Paladin Lock Lock Lock Priest
[Tank] [ DPS ][Healz]

The sheer amount of DoT's would be amazing but im not sure how hard it would be controlling them all .... Especially with the Tankadin...

Reason i want a tankadin is because they can AoE tank efficiently and i have had previous...

Strolling around RFK after yet another wipe caused by another major over-pull (damn you runners!), I decided to look through Atlas and find somewhere else to take the 'bruvvas, and I noticed I was just within the boundaries to take on the Graveyard wing up at Scarlet Monestary.

So off we went at level 23-25 with hopes of XP galore as we marched towards the magical figure of level 30.

It's been quite a while since I was here with my main, and several months since I was...

• Only had time to play this morning (5am).
• Spent a fair amount of time on my banker posting auctions. Money still isn't a non-issue, but I'm not sweating about it either.
• Made the run back WC, but with so little time left only did 3 bosses.
• Interact with Target + Click to Move = Win
• Now that I turned on Click to Move, I basically do the following:

• Target mob with my main.
• Hit my Num 5 key (mapped to the following).
  Main:
  
  Code:

  /startattack
  

  Slave:
  
  Code:

  /assist
  

...

• First attempt at Wailing Caverns (WC) cut short last night. Made it to the 2nd boss.
• Second attempt at WC cut short this morning. Made it to the last boss, but had to leave to go to work.
• Will probably do WC 1-2 more times (mostly to gear up some really nekid pallys in the back) and then move on to SFK.
• Wasted a ton of time leveling up skinning.
• Got a ton of greens and one non-BoP blue. Many upgrades.
• Ding'd levels 23 and 24 last night.
• Running Devotion, Retribution and Concentration

Someone recently asked me how the 5-pally team was going. It's going fine, but not great. Now I figure this is due to a few things.

1. I'm probably lazy.
2. Multiboxing 5 melees probably isn't easy (particularly when this is only the 2nd team I've boxed).
3. Not taking the time to set up your macros/controls adds a whole lot of drag to your gameplay.

#1's mostly true, #2 might be true, but #3 is dead on true.

Now, I have a limited amount of time each day in which I might play. I've...

Here is my grand scheme for a modular WoW empire. This setup gives you complete flexiblily to play any combination of classes.

To implement such a project would require at least a year of hard work, but it would totally be worthwhile.

Interviewing sponsors now! 8-]

ENGINEERING THE ULTIMATE BOXING TEAM - A MASTERPIECE OF PWNAGE

1. Create 5 chained RAF accounts. There will be 7 accounts altogether, 5 will be for the modular team.
...

Finally dragged the bruvvas' to level 20 so they can all give their feet a break and mount their way to glory.



Those tabards are way too cool

Okay I've done some dabbling with 3boxing and now 5boxing over on my new home at Saurfang EU, and I have re-rolled my new main team 'The Brothers Grim' - all undead.

TEAM LINE-UP

Fréd - Prot Warrior (19)
Davè - Fire Mage (18)
Tòny - Fire Mage (18)
Stève - Fire Mage (18)
Bòb - Holy Priest (17)



I started RFC as soon as all toons we're level 8 and...

I need a slight change of pace for a bit, so I created a new team. I'll still play the priest/hunter team, but I'll probably alternate between the two.

Introducing, Team Sandwich!

• SandwichA
• SandwichB
• SandwichC
• SandwichD
• SandwichE

For now, all of these are paladins. I've always enjoyed playing paladins and figured I'd try and master multiboxing a team of melees.

Now the only question is what to spec each one! They are currently Level 13. I took a plunge...

For the past week I have been trying to purchase my 5th and final RAF-enabled account so I can make my 3/4 man teams into 5 man teams, but for some reason I can't seem to buy a CD key!

The first two keys I bought went without much of a problem, apart from an uncomfortable phone call with some American women asking very odd questions about myself and my WoW playing style (wtf?), but eventually I recieved my keys.

It then took me another week to finally "persuade"...

As the title suggests, I am not very good at introductions (or blogging for that matter), but I feel my first blog entry at MBTV should contain a few words about myself and some plans for the future.

I am going to start a new team after trying out a few options with the following setup on Shadowmoon US (horde):

Pally
Priest
Warlock
Warlock
Warlock

Pally is the main character and seems to work well for tanking and buffing purposes. Priest, well because I never leveled one. Locks because they don't need food with a healer on-board.

I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on the Shuttle sx48p to see how it compared to Vista 64. Install of Win 7 is completely smooth and takes about 30mins with almost no interaction. All the hardware is properly identified and other then video drivers which are immediately available via the Windows Update on first restart the system is up with no drama or half a day worth of driver installs when using Vista 64.

pwnboxer works on Windows 7 Ultimate out of the box with no visible issues...

For reference I installed HWMonitor (CPUID) to get a sense of temps while running 5-wows with stock everything and no overclocking.

Here are temps I am seeing.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 (stock 3GHz clock) - 60-63 C
GeForcce 9800 GTX+ - 60-63 C
OS HDD (WD16000JD) - 45-47 C

Just running SM (done with Graveyard - got my priest necklace off one of the last kills of my run). Did a run of Library. I might do this once or thrice again to get glove upgrades for my hunters off the dog handler.

There's a ton of silk in here, so that's helping the tailoring leveling. Picked up a random mageweave or two, so that's starting to stack up in preparation of breaking through silk crafting.

A fair number of greens. I'm probably going to focus on raising...

Ok so we have done our ZF and Mara runs and gotten the gear we wanted out of those zones. Here is a picture of us out in front of ZF.


We have just started doing ST. Is it just me or is there not that much great loot in there? I mean only like 3 people drop loot..not literally but it seems like it. Anyway, once this group gets to 58-60 I will be putting them on the shelf and starting a new...
