Live multiboxing stream -Please add /player X ggg!

whether or not this is allowed is entirely up to where one draws the line in terms of automation. if you say that having your commands automatically replicated amongst several clients falls into that category then obviously this should not be allowed as the developers have stated that any kind of automation is not permissable.

personally i hope they do take that stance as i think behaviour like this is not benefitial to either the game economy nor the community.

enforcing such a rule might be a bit tricky tho...

Looks like a chore really. Guy is just confusing himself with all that characters :)

I would love a /p x command myself tho!

As for multiboxing i don't mind if people do it. I don't do it couse my pc is crappy, but even if i had a good pc i still would not do. I just play for fun. Min/maxing every drop is just too much for me. But if there are people that enjoy doing that, am fine with that. As long as they don't brake any rules in the process.

I believe this is a good idea but I also believe it will remove the need to party up with other players and diminish the sense of community if you can simply simulate the loot bonus and difficulty bonus without having to play with someone else.

Players /x

Do this and multiboxing would be pointless in PoE.

Didn't look, but if anyone is using any kind of automation, that person should be banned.

Simple as that.

I'm not so sure - /player 6 solo would be a bit difficult for anyone...

Just think you are with your friends, maybe playing in the same room/ on mumble.. the mobs are kind of easy for you 2 guys and you want to speed up the drops a bit. You do a /player 3 .. and the mobs are 50% more difficult and you are getting 50% more drop quantity (example numbers). And lets say that too is easy.. then you do a /player 4 and bump it up again...

I really don't think this would discourage grouping so much as add another dynamic to balanced small groups.


this ofc would work with more players in the same fashion (4 could bump it to 6)

Also, Like I noted in the 2nd message, people are already doing 6 man groups by themselves so this feature is actually already in the game. Really wouldn't affect any current players who prefer grouping/community

feel the same way to each his own - That's why I'd never be asking for banning of such things - that never works anyway. Bringing down the incentive to do it though, might not be a bad idea.

As Incendium noted, not only wouldn't it decrease the incentives for partying, it would actually increase it.

In fact, completely irregardless of multiboxing, players/x would be a great feature for us all.

For those soloing you could crank it up to players/2 to push things along a little, and for smaller groups of 3 or 4, you could bump it up to players/6 and a bit of a loot bonus as a reward for the extra difficulty.

I really hope GGG considers this.

Having /players (or similar command) would also reduce the number of connections from people resorting to multiboxing... so better server stability :)

Although I can't imaging the amount of people multiboxing is a lot...

What is /players?

lol just skipped through his video, took him 5 hours to get to Brutus, lmfao.
