not getting hung-up around corners with slaves? Usually one of my biggest frustrations....(knockbacks are another)....but I can't recall since the patch getting hung-up in FP towers or such at all whereas before it was alot.

I still get hung up, usually my slaves get hung on very sharp turns and those stupid tiki torches that I seem to miss but slaves don't :P

Doing the pumpkins on three teams now.
They get stuck a little, going into buildings.

Kind of sucks, 2 of the 3 teams (that I want to hit 75 for tradeskills), did RAF and are missing a ton of classic wow FP's.

I haven't noticed a difference. Started using ISBoxer and switching master when I switch screens autmagically and had to turn off jamba alert because every single time it dings and yells at me that someone stopped following! So, I lose a toon here and there. :)

The main change I've noticed is that the cast bars between the main and the slaves are WAY more in sync.

There used to be a strong delay between the main and slaves that just isn't there anymore

It probably has to do with the latency, they mucked around with something in there, so its probably your toons just not being as far behind the leader and going around the obstacles better.

I realize we're talking about the recent patch 4.0.1, but Blizz did move around their data centers just a few months ago, so people may be in a data center that is either closer or farther from them than before. Just how SDW always brags about his low latency to the LA data center, I'm now getting about 14ms to the Chicago data centers. Not that I play on the Chicago data center but man would that be nice. :)

The Jamba "Follow Broken" is probably a bug.
I posted in the Jamba thread, as did Owltoid.

Basically, follow is not breaking, but every time we push Follow.
Or in the case of having IS Boxer automatically do Follow on a switch.
We get the message that follow has broken, when it has not.

Incidentally, when follow does break, it correctly announces that too.

I noticed that and went in and did pings and traceroutes to all the new datacenters and couldn't tell any difference. The Phoenix data center (previously Seattle) is now within a few miles of my house yet I get lower pings to LA, and the traceroute shows traffic to phoenix data centers going all the way to LA and back. weird
