Can we multi-box the new NeverWinter MMO from Cryptic ?

[lax]

Inner Space build 5814 (new development build this morning) should take care of that problem

Good to hear. The servers are down so I can't test right now.

I did review the auto-generated Key Maps & between between the "Always On", "Non-combat", & "Combat" Key Maps I didn't see anything that intuitively accounted for the behavior.

The patch works... but my god this one is gonna be hard to box...

- /follow works
- /Assist works(i guess..)
- /Target works

but i havent figured out a way to make macro's for this - or bind it. Cant find any keybind.txt anywhere on my computer to manipulate.

you need to WATCH the actual monsters you want to hit, that aiming thing is gonna be really tough to deal with.

There is also a target-lock button, default CTRL, that could come to some use as an auto /face command. But I really need a button for the follow/assist key binds to be able to do this. Anyone succeed in finding a way ?

Ideal; Bind Mouse1+2 to random keys on the board. Deactivate mouse in acc2,3,4,etc, and only have the keys to work with together with the follow/assist keys that we need.

Hi Evil,

How do you have follow working?

I got in this morning, and have both accounts running, but use broadcast...
My alt keeps drifting apart and getting stuck in the dungon on walls.

Also with this reticule, I can not target the same mobs in combat?

Cheers.

I can run my guys around, but only "decently" The follow command slows your following toon down, its not tight at all... And as soon as u touch anything on that other acc, the follow breaks basicly. I have been testing the combat, with the autolocker and without, for me, there was no way to shoot "through" my friendly - so its going to be messy.

I did figure out how to use that CTRL Target Lock thing, but that requires you to toggle through all accounts and aim it at the same monster before starting a fight. But then u can run around and do all kinda stuff while actually fighting that one monster. When the monster then dies, youre fucked, and gotta spend 5-10 sec to line all your toons up again

So far - this is not a multiboxing game, just the fact that its FPS(mouse look perma on) fucks it up big time.

ok, I got /follow to work, I had to turn broadcast off, but with that off, I can not use the healer options.

Thanks,

With follow working and being able to stick to one target, what do you gents think about this combo?:

- Main Window: Tank (Guardian fighter);
- Second Window: Healer/aoe (Devoted Cleric);

Do everything on the Main Window and have the Healer only target the Tank and keep sending directions to follow the tank. Spec the healer to focus on:

- Streaming Healing with the Tank targeted;
- Direct healing spells with the Tank targeted;
- AoE Heals/damage/effects that don't require targeting;

Have both in the duo bring as many DPS companions as they can (healer AoE heal them & Tank control aggro).

This should mitigate targeting concerns (2nd window is just single locked target) and still give you the trinity (Tank/Heals/dps)...

Div, See my post above. I created a simple key map and assigned it to my duo. They just got across the bridge so don't have many abilities yet...

My healer thus far only has the AoE heal (default Q) and I mapped it such that anytime I press Q it send Q to both windows. If my tank doesn't have anything targeted nothing happens (except that you get a red message that you "Must have a Target" & the healer fires her AoE heal/dmg (Sun Burst) just fine. Haven't tested it in combat but I assume then they will both fire fine.

So far the follow works fine in the city (after MBing multiple games I don't cut corners and such).

EDIT: I just went into my first dungeon and so far the setup is working well. Follow is working better than many other games & my hireling is helping my Tank fight & when I hit Q my tank uses his ability and the Healer AoE heals/damages. It will be very interesting at higher levels to see if the healer actually keeps the tank targeted and whether the streaming healing or direct heals work.

EDIT2: Just finished duoing "The Theft of the Crown". Bound F1 to activate the Healers Daily power. Throughout the whole dungeon just with the Q AOE heal I never had to use a potion or campfire in the dungeon and was always topped off & the healer's AOE does decent AoE damage (at least at this level). On the final fight with the boss I used the 1 key on the tank to pop his Daily and then used F1 to pop the healers Daily (Guardian of Faith). I don't know if the healer had my tank or any particular mob targeted but the Guardian came down fine & damaged and then healed everyone (my tank, the healer, & companion).

Yeah it seems that the only solution is to not really multibox, but rather run a heal bot... I want to be able to run 3 DPS ( For teaming with a tank + healer or even add thoose at a later stage my self.. ) But we need some proper targeting and assist capabilities before that would be possible. I really hope that they add a so called hard-target, or static target. Since right now, everything is kind of dynamic depending on where your aiming.
