Solution To Broken Follow In Phased Content

I just wanted to post this so people know how to deal with this. It was answered in my thread about follow broken. What happens is the content is phased. So when your on a certain part of the quest chain you see different stuff. When you get to the border of these zones it breaks follow. The way to fix this is very easy and still sort of a pain in the ass.

Fix to follow broken in phased zones.

Make sure you have movement bound on all your guys to a secondary key. I use the arrows. All my guys have the arrow keys bound to move foward, back and side to side. When I get follow broken warning from Jamba this is what I do. I hold down my S key (Mains back movement which is do not pass). Then I push my arrow key (move forward). This pushes my alt followers ahead into the phase with my main. Once I see them fly in with my main I hit follow again. This is the only solution to phasing. Be prepared to do it often.

You should look into an add on called KeepFollowing. Whenever follow is broken it will keep attempting to reestablish it. (no need to keep pushing follow all the time)

KeepFollowing

I haven't tried the addon, but it's about the same as follow strobe in Jamba?

Pinot Noir, I do the same. As stated in a different thread, after a while you "know" where the invisible lines are. Once follow breaks I stop moving my main character and start moving my alts forwards by pressing the according key bound.
Annoying still, but it works. My problem is that once I have figured out where those lines are I usually move on to another quest area...

I've recently started using jamba but I did not know it had any follow mechanics in it. I will have to look into that.
