Characters Orbiting

[Silly Gooooose]

No, this is not a 'zomg my alts keep running, how do I make it stop!' question.

I was wondering if there is any way to consistently make your alts orbit. I.e. Run while on follow of you, so they run circles around you.

I've seen it happen a few times, but I don't really understand why / how it happens, but I'd like to reproduce it, cuz it looks cool, lol.

You cant make it happen. Its a really awesome bug with /follow and assist a target just after you get CC'd in some way.



I have made it happen once while running up a tower so that my clones thought that when I moved up they would move down.
You have no idea how annoying it is to try to run DOWN a tower and they all run UP, and you run UP and they run DOWN. :) Got me killed in AV a few times. Probably only happened about 7 or 8 times total tho.

Um, I orbit all the time with my 4 slaves. Have them all follow you, then stop. Hold your spread out button a few seconds (one left, one right, one forward, one backward. Then move your character back a few paces, so she's in the middle. Then press your follow button again. By doing so, all 4 toons will be standing, facing you, each on a different side. If you're like me, you have your arrow keys set to broadcast to your alts, but not your main. Turn your toons to the right till they all either have their left, or their right side to you. Then hold up and left, or up and right, respectively. They will orbit you in a rough fashion. You can move them away from you by holding back a few seconds prior to turning them to make the circle more round, instead of flower-shaped.

I want to do the follow based orbit :P Too lazy for all that nonsense :P

hold down strafe and mash your follow key on your alts and they will try to strafe away and continually re-orient so they're facing you result is that they run around you in a nice circle (if that's what you mean).
