Grats, that is impressive indeed. I still think 54 real people beating it is actually more impressive, especially pre-nerf, just because we all know that computers are smarter than humans :). The hard part of macro boxing is just getting the code you want. Once you have it, then its auto pilot.

I mean, you've done that raid, right? Even in full raid gear from the next expansion it wasn't always a sure-thing win. Macros usually can't adapt to hiccups or script issues. It is 100% easier with real people running their toons than trying to script what is literally the hardest raid to hit EQ in a decade (that includes since).

I'd amend this statement to "it is 100% easier with real people who pay close attention running their toons..."

I was one of the three guilds who beat it pre nerf. I'm intimately familiar with it. With scripts that never miss a hallway etc, and know exactly what spawns and where to handle hallways, is a huge advantage. I'm very impressed, and I think it's awesome, but I still think it's harder for 54 people to beat that raid. People panic in that raid, especially at 25% and during every hallway call. Obviously, I'm pro boxing lol and I think its great, but again, people tend to panic on that raid and bots do not. :). I'm not trying to diminish anything, its insanely, impressive, but again, once you've gotten your script where you know it works, its pretty much money. Great job figuring it all out, there are something like 15 more guilds that have beaten ToV than TBL. People are still scared to back to Mear at 115, so great job King!

I know I'm way behind having just seen this but congrats. super impressive. Do you (or any of your crew) stream? I'd love to see you guys work and maybe pick up some pointers for my own much less experienced/capable/progressed crew.
 
@KingArthur With macros handling appropriate zone events, have you been able to single PC box current raid content? If so, what sort of group size are you looking at for that?

Yes, with our setup, some TOV raids can be single boxed no doubt. Since I’m having my crew to conquer with me so I haven’t really attempted recently. But I did it back in EOK expansion, I boxed 54 and won TBM wither&decay, Plane Fear&Hate; EOK Droga, Lceanium and Prince. So from my perspective, as long as you can box 54 with appropriate macros/plugins, there are many options will be open especially TOV is such a easy expac.
I. E., We beaten GD by 3 real people with 29 toons, but most of night we are sitting with 54 toons. I think EW1 and GD can be easily single boxed based on our setup.
 
That's fucking amazing. I'd love to do my own raids but know I'll never be able to because I don't have the coding experience to change / create macros lol
 
So cool, congrats.. lol it makes me wonder... of all the players who play EQ and of those all who multibox and of those all who use MQ2, how many have accomplished this achievement(s).. lol my gut says only the 6 people called out in this thread... amazing..
