Getting Started / Returning userAbout to start multi boxing. Any strong tips or good youtube videos outside of what's posted here on the tutorials?
Also, is it easier to box 3 vs 6, or does it matter at that point?
thanks all!

The more you run the more your hardware needs to work, there is a certain amount of tweaking that needs to be done to get your crew operating well and general character management, the bigger your team the bigger the job.is it easier to box 3 vs 6, or does it matter at that point?
hmm, so does this mean if i want it easier just go for seal team 3? I'm not experienced at all, and seem to be fairly overwhelmed so far lol.The more you run the more your hardware needs to work, there is a certain amount of tweaking that needs to be done to get your crew operating well and general character management, the bigger your team the bigger the job.
thanks a ton! I'm stoked to try it.. just a bit nervous i'll get overwhelmed based on my lack of knowledge.The videos will get you going. You will have to tweak settings for your play preference. With the program, 6 boxing is as easy as 3 boxing. Hope you have a good time, I do.
thanks a ton Sic! I've gone through these twice so far. seems a bit overwhelming, but i'm sure it gets faster the more i do it.Getting Started / Returning user

Personally, I think it's easier to start with just 2 or 3 characters. There's a lot to take in at first and you will be totally lost (don't feel bad about it). You can run a merc or two to keep you alive until you get the hang of things. It's easy to add more as you go.hmm, so does this mean if i want it easier just go for seal team 3?

that being said, i think a full group would be awesome!
For sure! I'll see what i can do. Is it difficult to have my driver be a puller/dps? I read a lot just like you said about the driver being the tank though!Personally, I think it's easier to start with just 2 or 3 characters.

I'd suggest starting with whatever your "driver" will be (tanks are the simplest to drive with) and a healer. A good third will be whatever you're going to use for crowd control (bard or enchanter). That trinity will be the cornerstone of you group. You can swap DPS in and out at will.
It's not that it's difficult, but if you need to react to something during combat, it's usually going to be on your tank. I sometimes switch over to a bard or monk if I need to do some complicated pulling in older content.Is it difficult to have my driver be a puller/dps?
Yes, it's very useful, but it's not required, especially when you are starting out. I think there's some value in learning Kiss early on because you'll better understand the fundamentals of automating your toons. This can only help you in the long run.Also does CTWN plugin help? looks like this takes over from having to update Kiss assist?
