LoanWolf Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 To me it seems like multiboxing does more harm then it does good, and while its nice that it used to allow it, Im not sure its needed in the new version. Obviously they will not want to refund players for their alt accounts so they will be keeping this in the game. Is there anyone able to give me a good reason that multiboxing is good for the game instead of gaining an advantage over people who do not multibox?

Maybe up until they hit 40 and actually do the class xfer quest to make them true buff mules. Shamans still fun until then lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drizz Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Yes it’s necessary because buffs are necessary. I enjoy mainly solo play and boxing a buffer, it’s always been my play style. This allows for easy leveling of new toons. Lineage 2 has always been like this and always will be. Stop with these posts, it’s been an element of the game since it was released.

Evangelion Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 No is not but many guys around here still live in 2004 that is why you have whiteknights defending multibox unlike these days where nobody multibox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going anywhere and you're looking at it the wrong way anyway. Some people DO like to play buffers and healers, but there are a lot of times they can't get groups (time of day, need to afk often, etc). In these cases, you need a box to level your main. If you've never played a healer or dedicated buffer class for an extended length of time, sit the bleep down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatecraft Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 My very first character in Lineage 2 was a prophet by the same name as my tag here. Let me tell you that from first hand experience, it was rough. Also, on the topic of multi-box. If the forums threads and posts are to be believed, there are people who are multi-boxing and getting banned for some reason. Maybe its the reporting tool, who knows. I'm not in the position to say if they were or were not botting. I am just saying that it is a bit scary. I'm not sure I want to risk it though. Too bad because multi-boxing two accounts is fun. It has me worried though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooBooKittyFK Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I really think there's another reason they're getting banned. I have no clue what that is, but it's not a complicated matter for them to separate a user controlled box and an automated one. They have 14 (?) years experience doing exactly that. They've never done more than ban a small % of bots who then just create a new account and start over. It's purely optics and just how NC has always handled it.

Hatecraft Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Allegedly wont get you banned. I agree, they say it is allowed. However, some of the posts people are saying they were boxing and got banned. No earthly idea how, but I don't feel like being in their shoes.

Medeoan Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Multiboxing has been a core playstyle of Sand Box MMOs since they were first created. Lineage II Vanilla had a lot of multiboxing as well. It isn't anything new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazob1 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Multiboxing isn't the actual problem and it's a huge part of L2 experience, cutting down the multiboxing is removing a huge deal from L2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medeoan Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Depends on the game. EvE Online generally has many multiboxers. With the EvE PLEX system you can pay for the subs by using in game revenues you generate. I do grant boxes were less common in the pay to play era for Lineage II, but they were by no means rare among legitimate players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xandori Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 No, it is not good for the game, but NCSoft has allowed it too occur for too long. So now most people consider it integral to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medeoan Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 How can you say something is or isn't good for the game? Personally, I like multi-boxing if it leads to better performance in the chasing of my in game goals. When it doesn't, I don't multi-box. Lineage II's very design promotes multiboxing.

Groncho Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 We have group heal skills We have clan buff skills Do we have account heal/buff? NO, because multibox IS NOT a "core feature" of the game. Multiboxing is how you play single mode in a MMORPG, and that's not the spirit of this genre. If NC allowed and still allowing multibox it is just because it suits them and they are greedy. Stop defending the indefensible, you just want to stay lazy and comfy.

Garcito Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 multibox is not good for the game, i like to play as main wc and i dont have a pet/box because i have friends and i can find "friends" with parties. with multibox you are playing a single player on a mmo, where is the fun on this? i was reading some posts and i found that we have hardcore players telling others things like "stop crying" "noob" "you dont know how to play" or something else, but all of them dont know how to play without a box, they think they are hardcore but they dont even know how to find a party or play this game like a real mmo. sorry for my english.

Dorsch Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Can everyone just stop trying to talk them into going from 3 to 2 or 3 to 1 box? 1... Ncsoft is not going to refund the people who bought vip acounts for that purpose.. 2... If they would change it and refuse to refund.. can you say class action lawsuit?
