About multiple devices

#1
Are there any plans to resolve this issue? Sure some people use multiple devices to xfer things between characters. But what about these guys who seriously have 4-5 characters logged in on multiple devices and just solo kill bosses? And they can train their characters better then eveyone else cause they r just healing outside of group. Just today I seen two people with all their characters in a full group killing the 140 dragon. What kind of crap is this? Well I guess on the up side.... I'm not sleeping alone at night! Well neither are those guys... Their bed is full of apple devices

Well that's great that u don't care. You didnt have to reply, this post wasn't about you, or how u don't care, or how you found it hard to use multiple devices, or how ur Druid is your main even, you have no useful input.
The fact of the matter is people ARE using 4-5 devices and farming bosses, Gladiators. You clearly have no idea ofthe issue as you are barely in otherworld yet, judging by your character lvls in ur signature. The game developers have made this game so that you can NOT play independantly. So if I have to rely on others to be online to help me, indont find it fair that a guy can just use his 5 iPods and kill everything on his own

You can two device a druid and a Mage well enough, a third with a rogue that just autos is ok but any more than that and there are just to many buttons to push.

I don't know how you do it with two classes that constantly cast skills. I can barely level with myself.

Even with a rogue and druid, its really hard to do( especially if you're whispering.). I've never seen anyone use more than two. I only do it once in a while, but before I did it, I still didn't have a problem with other people doing it. I have six character slots in my first account and on my second is a lonely druid. Also there is not much that can be done. It's done with two different accounts and devices.

I can argue that more than half of what he said was post related.
Good job celtic heroes!

Anybody who can use 5 devices and solo ythair is amazing. I don't think this is humanly possible.

Anyway there's nothing they can do about it. How do you tell if he has 5 devices or just 4 brothers who also play?

This rage post was entertaining, but unfortunately/fortunately? nothing can be done, nor should it be.

I am a penta-boxer which is apparently exactly what this guy doesn't like. I am very accustomed to this type of opinion and attitude. Mostly everyone I've encountered has had some kind of reservation or disliking of multi-boxers. Until recently I have not been powerful enough to defeat significant bosses but now that my characters are getting up in levels I have been able to tank lvl 140 ythair dragon and most people's opinions have changed to very postitive views, especially when I randomly help other clans tank bosses that are wiping them out. I've been accused of everything since I've been multi boxing and I stopped defending myself a while ago. Anyone on tarranis familiar with hubris and the entourage of Druids that accompany her know my character and know what type of player I am. So long as I have the support of my clan, its allies, and remain in general good standing with the tarranis community then ranting posts such as this one won't phase me. However, I do understand people's frustrations and try to taper my play style to be helpful and pleasant despite what you may think of me.

One of the most common misconceptions with my characters as another poster has already pointed out is that it isn't humanly possible to play 5 characters simultaneously and even if you could you couldn't play each character to its full potential. This is absolutely false. While it isn't easy, it is absolutely possible to play all characters simultaneously so long as you have enough situational awareness, focus, and have a strong multi tasking capability. I may try to shoot a video of my set up and play style for you all to see so that maybe you will understand more about how I do what I do.

*EDIT* here is the video

As far a the OP is concerned. I am sorry that you feel so strongly about your dislike of multi boxers and I am curious as to what happened exactly to make you feel this way? I sincerely hope it was nothing I've done. Despite my name, I am the furthest thig from a tyrant on my server and I wish you had an opportunity to interact with me, perhaps you wouldn't feel as you do. I completely understand why people get turned off to this. I have the potential to abuse my capabilities for my own selfish gains. Personally, I don't but other players might and that may have been what happened. However, I've been doing this a very long time. I've spoken with the admins about it on several occasions and read every game policy thouroughly to ensure that I remain within the confines of the games rules. Multi boxing will not be going away. As far as I know the admins do not view it negatively and have made no plans to remove it from the game. I can only hope for you that you are able to find some sort of solace for your issues and not assume that every multi boxer is an elitist, tyrannical, power-mongering, loot-stealing player. The only reason I made my characters was to help my clan with bosses. If it were for
Selfish gains I wouldn't have made a tank and four Druids. Do you know how easy it is to be KS'd when you play as a tank and four Druids? If I was going to rape my server I would have made a bunch of rouges and rangers with Druids to out DPS everyone and steal all loot all the time.

It's a legitimate question IMO, though the OP does not actually ask a question. Well, the OP asks 'will you resolve the issue?', not actually having established that there is is an issue.

There is only one specific issue that I can think of and that is ninja-boxing in a group. What I mean by that is that someone is multi-boxing in a group with other players and has not made that evident. This means that they have an increased drop chance. This could be considered an issue for non-class and tradeable items. Of course they may also be playing the classes on their device in a way that contributes to the group. I have been in many boss groups where if I were not multi-boxing we would have struggled to take the boss without a lot of restos, idols etc. People know I multi-box (because I tell them) and request that I bring a tank and a healer, for example.

From the point of view of the game itself, there is no functional difference. it is not cheating, it does not constitute an unfair advantage and is in fact harder than playing a single character in my experience.

The OPs inflammatory complaint seems to be twofold:
1- it makes leveling easier. Yes and no. You are always splitting exp so it is slower. Classes really specced for group play do not solo well at all in most cases. Yes you can run support out of group, but that is not sustainable as you also have to lvel support. Yes, because you can really spec for it and... I find it much easier to schedule time to level with myself. :mrgreen: This all constitutes difference in degree, rather than differences in kind.

2- monopolization of bosses, which is presumably a complaint about the monopolization of drops. Please make clear how this differs from the same complaint about powerful clans? Functionally, it is no different, if it is actually happening, and the responses and ways of dealing with it are not different.

I have some questions as well. How did you know when someone is multi-boxing? Unison tap dancing across several toons is a good sign. You know because they, or someone else told you. That was a courtesy on their part. As the game is now, it is none of your business really. They do not have to tell you anything at all about anything at all. How does it concern you in any way whether when you see 2 toons it is one person, two people or 7 people? How exactly is that any of your business at all? They are not cheating. They are playng all the characters within the bounds of the game. When my nephew is looking over my shoulder while I play, do you feel I should inform you when he has suggestions and such? Would you like to know what I am wearing and what I had for lunch as well. I am a vegetarian. I believe this adds to my ability to concentrate. Is that an unfair advantage too? Would you like to regulate that?

Finally, I will say that I am clearly biased. It is an MMO on a portable platform. How cool is that? Multi-boxing is a consequence of that. You really have to go to great lengths to multi-box on pc based games. I play this game for a variety of reasons. One of them is that I can multi-box and really see the inter-class dynamics and such.

You think it is unfair. Ok. Presumably, from your post, if you went and purchased a cheap, used iPod touch in addition to whatever you are using you would suddenly find yourself sleeping alone? Which is to say, ad hominem attacks are not useful.

Do you think Plat is unfair as well? Many people do.

Finally, why exactly do you (and so many others) feel entitled to some sort of response from OTM, because there is something you don't like. The game is free. If you spent money that is on you. Sure there are cases where something has gone wrong and people want a response. From my point of view, inflammatory, entitled complaints may not be the best way to go about it.

Maybe though you are just upset that Yth is gone and you did not get your bp or something. I can relate to that.
