For those in Cataclysm beta, thoughts on multiboxing new 5mans?

[Tim]

Hey all,

For those of you in the Cataclysm beta, what are your thoughts on multiboxing any of the new 5 mans?

• Vortex Pinnacle (VP) 80-82
• The Stonecore (SC) 81-83
• Abyssal Maw (ABY/AM) 81-83
• Throne of the Tides (ToT) 82-84
• Lost City of Tol'vir (LCoT) 84-85
• Blackrock Caverns (BC) 85
• Grim Batol (GBD) 85
• Halls of Origination (HoO) 85
• Vortex Pinnacle (Heroic) (H-VP) 85 (85+)
• The Stonecore (Heroic) (H-SC) 85 (85+)
• Abyssal Maw (Heroic) (H-ABY/H-AM) 85 (85+)
• Throne of the Tides (Heroic) (H-ToT) 85 (85+)
• Lost City of Tol'vir (Heroic) (H-LCoT) 85 (85+)
• Blackrock Caverns (Heroic) (H-BC) 85 (85+)
• Grim Batol (Heroic) (H-GBD) 85 (85+)
• Halls of Origination (Heroic) (H-HoO) 85 (85+)

Also, I heard that Heroic SFK and Deadmines were postponed by Blizzard, even though they promised it would be in Cata. Any idea if it will be there upon release?

So yea, how do us Multiboxers fare in Cata?

tim with your 40 or so accounts not 1 got into beta?

[Paul1337noob]

If i recall correctly he has got a few in beta, but CBA to go on it or something

[EaTCarbS]

No one has really been able to multibox the beta yet to do the disabled UI functionality (macros disabled)

[Smithnweson]

Heroic Shadowfang Keep and heroic Deadmines, which were said at the Cataclysm press event to have been scrapped until a later patch, are now slated to be in at release! Valnoth has confirmed that the new versions of these classic dungeons are being released with Cataclysm.

Awesome news Weson!

Carbs, really, I had no idea macros were disabled in Cata. Yea I think I have like 5 or 10 beta invites, I just never really had the need to log in and do it. I don't wanna put time into a team that is going to get scraped.

So nobody here is in beta and can tell about boxability of Cata 5mans? Come on

lol wish the beta was not account bound so u could give me a key to play :P
they just up the lvl to 85 today so we should see the new dungeons. Only bad thing is the new 80+dungeons involve alot more CC then the wrath dungeons.

the mandate of using CC isn't such a bad thing... anyone that played during burning crusade knows that harder challenges during levelling produced better prepared higher skilled class of player and weeded out the useless players with no skill or willingness to make an extra effort.

So far to date blizzard has had the use of all in game addons functionality entirely disabled along with using macros so for now I can only assume boxing in cata is on standby

Funny who reads these forums? The next day after this thread gets posted blizzard turned on ui addons in cataclysm beta and macros work. I saw kung playing earlier in twilight highlands using dominos bar mod ( everything bartender4 never could be ). I think multiboxers just got an invitation to tear it up in cataclysm beta
