I think I'm right in saying that there was an announcement some time ago that if you were subscribed to just one of Villains or Heroes, your account would be upgraded so you could access both sides of the tracks. So you should get everything for your £8.99 a month.

But it may have come to me in a dream, and I'm slowly going mad. But I'm sure someone will confirm or deny this.

That's the game part, not the mad part...

...I'll get me coat...

Happy_Dan is right, you just need one... but you'd have to do without the GvE edition items and costumes.

I think my copy of Good vs Evil cost me about £10 and I bought it from a shop rather than the PlayNC store. That was about a year ago though

If your mouse has greater processing power than your gfx card, the answer is yes.

http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/677219/C...on/Product.html £12 gives a cost of £3 for extra stuff, if you can get it for £10 even better. I hate not having the jump pack now

If you are running two accounts at once... (not sure 100% on how to make them work well on same PC, I use two as its easier...)

Only macro you need is: (there are others that make life good )
/bind <key> "teamselect 1$$follow"
Replacing 1 2with what ever position your main is in the team. Cornering gets easier with practice.

If you are running 2nd account simply as a buff bot on a single PC you will have to alt tab between the two each time you want to fire something, but if you have a really big monitor/two monitors you should be able to use Xmouse (look in TweakUI (get that from Microsoft)) and have program activation follow mouse cursor. Basically the program in the foreground is whatever is under the mouse cursor.

If you run 2 PCs you have the option of running a keyboard multiplexer of some variety. Simplest version of this is to grab 2x wireless keyboards, plug a receiver into each PC and then sync them both to a single keyboard. There is also several hardware methods that will do the same job and is similar to a KVM though generally more expensive (~$200+ last I looked). (Look in this thread @ Dual-Boxing.com)

My own prefered method is to use multiplexing software, it runs over a local network and sends selected keybinds from one PC to another. I use a piece of software called octopus. Its no longer in active development and when it was it was aimed at the WoW multi-boxing community, however across multiple PCs it works great with CoH. (This thread for Octopus software.)

I use an older version having not seen a need to upgrade, I also have two Belkin Nostromos (n52) which I got over the years, each PC also has a mouse and monitor. I control one character on each PC with a single n52 running on the main machine, but have the 2nd n52 and mouse in front of me in case I need to take it over temporarily or when one dies (happens more often than I like still).

Currently I run three pairs and have run others in the past but got bored of. 2 Fire/Kin, these have some more convoluted macros as I use them to buff each other and still be able to buff other people on the team. Far more easy to run are the Mind/Rad I only use the follow bind I mentioned above. As is also the case with my Fire/Nrg blasters.

I also on occasion run a dedicated kin/dark defender as a buff bot on low level characters, this is still set on follow but I use the buffs directly from the 2nd n52 rather than through the multiplexer.

So far I have dual boxed every AT except the villainous epics, by far the easiest system is when using two ranged types and hardest being melee only characters. It can be done but it takes much more work and IMO isn't worth the pain. MM's are also a pain as they targeting system the we can use in CoH does not work for pets.

As it stands for the follower(s) to target your main's target the must be targeting you, then any player effecting powers they have hit you and any NPC affecting powers hit your target. With a MM their main powers still function in this manner but the /petcom_all attack (or any of the other pet commands) need to be the target of the MM itself. One way round this is to macro the attack button on the MM to be something like: /macro Pat "teamselect <main>$$assist$$petcom_all attack aggressive" However I found that you still need the MM to reset its target back to you or you lose any of its secondary attacks... plus if you are a more active MM than I ever played and set different pets to attack different targets you will run out of buttons or fingers more rapidly.

Hope this has been of some help, if on Defiant I can mostly be found playing a duo of some sort, if not I can be talked to here or through @Lost Ninja. (Best here as I don't always notice tells, and I don't play anywhere as near as much as I used to.)

Recall might work greatly too Once you know the range of exp and toggle buffs (sonic for example), TP friend is great to use
