General Addition to Clarification of (third party) hard- and software benefits

Just to clarify, I would like to ask if alt+tab(2 keys) is ok? Since i will have reclick alt+tab everytime, unlike alt+esc, i cant switch client without letting go of the key.

 

So basically rebind alt as an attack and holding alt esc is now ban able?
But rebinding alt + esc to one key and holding attack and spamming that alt esc key is allowed?
Also what about using multiple vms and multiple keyboard? Holding an attack key on each keyboard will result in all the clients attack simultaneously, is it allowed?

 

how does this effect multi attacking setups? It's not really clear.
Basicly, does the new rule specify I need to act differently because I use more than 1 client?
Say I got 2 (or more) attackers, and I open each one on a different computer (or virtual machine), with a seperate keyboard for each, does the new rules effect this? its a little unclear because you basicly play each client like its your one and only client, you just do it with a seperate keyboard. No 3rd party softwere involved, No Windows tricks or anything.

 

I believe this is allowed based on example #2 and #3 of the clarification thread
But I would like confirmation on this as well to be safe

 

This is how I interpreted it. Since you can use a Foot Pedal as a 1:1 replacement of a keyboard key. As the document showed you can hold down a key to attack repeatedly. You can have say 2 computers each with a mage and two foot pedals (one on each) to cast mage ultimate by holding it down. As you'd hit the anti-afk if you stayed there too long or get knocked around and have to readjust.

The big change being that

If you use a foot pedal to switch between clients, then in that case you may NOT hold down the client switching button, and must do this manually each time.

Since you can't hold down one button and control 2 separate computers at the same time.

You can't hold down one button to attack AND hold down another button to switch between computer 1 & 2 really quickly over and over again acting as a 'well technically I'm not controlling 2 computers I'm just switching between them really fast' but it's functionally the same as controlling 2 computers with 1 input.


Staff Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is how I interpreted it.

 

I'm not allowed to quad/trio/duo atk like this?
CTRL + Left Button to switch clients?

is this allowed:
set Alt as an attack skill;
use Alt+Tab to switch clients and attack

alt+tab is not bound to any key
I need to press alt+tab each time I perform an attack skill

 

about this, what exactly is considered spamming?
Because as far I remeber how this would act, is that it would attack on X clients based on how long you were holding down alt + esc.
So what exactly is that duration of the click on the alt + esc key? is it ok to hold it for 1-2 seconds?

 

Hello and greetings. Currently, I always use 3 to 6 clients to farm, but I move quickly because if I take more than 1 second, the mobs take my position, and I have to maintain it. I also press Gene+Gene+Blizzard and click on each client to keep up the pace. I don't fully understand these examples, but I hope it's allowed since I only press one key and occasionally left or right to stay in position when it's time to collect the loot. I just move around the entire map.



this map :3

 

So now you just hold down one pedal for meteor and use a drum bass pedal for the other one binded to alt+escape?

I guess people controlling over six mages are about to have some buff calf muscles?

Is it legal to use eye tracking software and have ALT+ESCAPE binded to me blinking? Asking for a friend who plays with no hands.

Jokes aside - how will you even be able to differentiate between someone holding down ALT+ESCAPE vs repeatedly pressing it? Isn't this a windows function and not a key press with in royals? With someone only controlling six mages the meteor casts shouldn't be much slower.

What's to stop someone from changing the speed of their ALT+ESCAPE function to just simulate a slowdown for "pressing it?"

 

Hello, Tim
I would like to ask, since there is a software that uses a scroll wheel, and by scrolling it, several windows can be switched, if I always use the scroll wheel with my right hand and press the key with my left hand, will this violate the rules?

 

... if you add a 10 lb resistance spring to make it harder to push the pedals you could get a real workout in! Just make sure to occasionally swap pedals so you work out evenly!

 

I would like to know answer to this too!
if alt and escape are not binded into one key and im using alt as my attack skill
not holding them down, clicking every time between attack and switching window
is this allowed or the attack key needs to be assigned to something else

 

Hi Tim and staff, I'd like to verify whether the following approach is allowed since I want to play on multiple devices.

Here's the (hypothetical) setup:
1. I have 2 devices, #1 and #2. When multi-client bossing, I usually run 4–5 clients on device #1 and only 1 client on device #2.
2. I use 2 foot pedals, one connected to each device. Each pedal is mapped to a single key on the keyboard (e.g., the "A" key), which is bound to my main attacking macro skill.
3. Once all characters are properly positioned for a boss fight, I hold down both foot pedals for continuous attacking.

• On device #2, this is straightforward: there is only 1 client, so that character just keeps attacking like how one would normally play.
• On device #1, which has multiple clients, I manually click with the mouse to switch between clients while keeping the pedal held down, to trigger the attacking for each character/client.

4. When characters are knocked back:

• On device #2, I release the pedal #2 and manually adjust the character’s position using the arrow keys. (While pedal #1 still held down so characters on device #1 keeps attacking)
• On device #1, I do the same thing, but I also manually switch between clients with the mouse left-click to reposition each character one by one. (While pedal #2 still held down so characters on device #2 keeps attacking)

Since every action is directly triggered by my own input and each pedal is mapped 1:1 to a single in-game key (with no additional automation), I assume this setup should be acceptable. But would love some confirmation from staff for some peace of mind.

Thank you ahead!

 

does that mean that you can only switch to one client at a time by scrolling the wheel?

 

ok, thank you, i understand.
