Omg omg omg! Someone go make a post on the PvE forum detailing strats for heroic occulus stat!
Holy crapper! I am speechless. It wasn't totally clear to me from the posts, but both toon -> vehicle and vehicle -> vehicle follow are working. OMG! OMG!
*dance*
Guess the man and I won't be getting much sleep when he gets home from work. So much to try out now! ;P
:-D :-D :-D
Oculus here I come!
For those using the Focusless/Targetless Leader System and who struggled to get it to work here's how I got it done. Your mileage may vary...
Change your follow macro to:Follow will now work regardless of whether or not you are in a vehicle.
- /focus <insert your ctrl/shift/alt sequence for each char>
- /follow focus
- /clearfocus
Next if you don't already have one, make a new macro/key bind to assist current leader (don't forget to make a new keymap if you aren't using the same key for both master and slaves)
Now, my assumption is that you already have possession bars setup on all your alts, if not you'll need to do that to use the vehicles/mounts abilities.
- /assist <insert your ctrl/shift/alt sequence for each char>
In my setup I use jamba and keyclone and a strict do-not-pass list, so I use Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2, etc to invoke the vehicle/mount capabilities and bypass the existing keymaps. You will need to adjust for your setup.
When I do Aces High!:
I have a 5 man team, if you have fewer you may need to throw in a Ctrl-5 (shield) if the drake lives long enough for its special attack.
- Everyone gets quest
- Everyone gets mount (one at a time, I noticed that if I did them at the same time 2 chars don't get a mount)
- Everyone jumps into the air
- Hit follow macro key
- Target first drake
- Hit Assist macro key
- Ctrl-1 x 5
- Ctrl-2 x 1
- Repeat step 7 & 8 once
- Dead drake
- Repeat for 4 more drakes
If you are unfamiliar with the Focusless/Targetless Leader System you can find info on these forums and on the wiki .
Great news ! Too bad Eu servers are down now or I would give it a go.
And this made me laugh :

This is an EPIC change, very, very, very cool, Blizzard!
And such a nice switch, reading positive comments - I just peaked over on the WoW forums, my god, just when you think it could'nt get worse!
Quick question, I can't log on tonight, does this also make it possible to use follow when you're doing those quests when you ride on a giant? Like the Sons of Hodir quests?
If so, I will be very, very pleased. :)
EPIC :)Quote:

I wanna do /follow in vehicles and I don't know if this is a stupid question. But what is a possession bar? ?(Quote:

I've tried googling it, checking the forums(and the wiki, which doesn't mention possession bars), but everyone keeps referring to the possession bars as if they are common knowledge not needing further explanation.
How do I get a/the possession bar? :)
You can think of a possession bar as something similar to a pet bar. It appears only when you are able to use it, such as when you possess (mind control) another target or hop into a vehicle that has abilities. In the case of vehicles, you get a special interface that appears with a bar in it, including an "exit vehicle" button.Quote:

What everyone is referring to is making sure you have keybindings set for this special bar if you plan to use the abilities of the vehicle. By default, some keybindings are already set for your interface. I don't recall the keybinding section offhand (at work right now), but just scroll through the keybindings until you see something akin to a "Vehicle/Mount" section.
Exactly how do you do this via Focus?Quote:

Is it possible to do follow and assist if not using the Focusless/targetless Leadersystem?
To Taliesin: I think i get the idea of the Possession bar :)
Think "riding on giant's shoulders". Several quests just got a LOT easier for us. :)Quote:

Think "riding a bear". Anyone think of any quests/dailies in Northrend where you do that?
There's now a reason to make and use flying carpets.
And Wintergrasp just got very, very, very interesting to me...muahahahaha....
Is Oculus in this category? Sorry, I haven't been in there yet, avoided it completely because I understood it was non MB-friendly and vehicle-heavy. Would this change mean I can give it a shot?
YAY !!!!!
Got it to work, it was simpler than I thought.
1. All get in the vehicle.
2. All slaves set masters vehicle as focus (focus target); must be done manually on all slaves.
3. Normal follow macro still works(Though I setup another one on F1).
4. Setup a keybinding for target focus(i use F2).
5. Assist (i use F3)
F1 Follows
F2 Targets main
F3 Assists main
Anyone know if there is some way to get around the manual focus target that must be done on each slave?
I noticed that follow had started working when I went to do my Argent Tournament for the first time... I just thought they threw us a bone on those particular vehicles. GREAT to know it's all of em.
This is completely awesome!
hmmm.. i tried following all the steps. (get in vehicle, manually set leader/focus' vehicle as as focus, then follow macro) but it's not working for me. I had no problem with getting in siege vehicles in dragonblight and the like, but the ponies for the argent tournament is just not doing it for me. I am using jamba/macaroon/keyclone if that makes a difference?
when I hit my follow macro, it says something along the lines of "cannot follow that unit". i see that the quel'dorel steed is set as my current focus, but just nothing happens. any idea on what i'm doing wrong and how i can correct it?
I had the same problem. My follow keys bound to f1 which didnt work, so I made a new /follow /assist macro bound to f5 and that did work? I'm a tad boggled but at least I can do the dailies now :PQuote:

Hmmm, did you make any changes to your follow macro tasty? mine is
/target focus
/follow
/assist
/stopcasting
bound to 1, and it's just not working still. driving me nuts :(
My original macro was setup like thisQuote:
Originally Posted by 'echo',index.php?page=Thread&postID=196638#post196 638
macro 1. /target [target=x, alive] [target=y, alive]
macro 2. /click ActionBarButtonX
replacing it with a simple
/follow tastyheals
/assist tastyheals
macro seemed to fix it
Double post :S but also try binding it to something thats not 1-6 cause I think they already get used by the mount bar thingoQuote:

ty for your time and help tasty, will go try that as soon as dailies reset. :)
AFAIK, not all vehichle can follow/ be followed. The Argent ponies can't follow anything, so that makes some of the argent quests a bit harder.
Mine follow just fine now :|Quote:

Really? Did they changed it? Gotta try it tonight!
Mine work just fine. I think folks who have a problem may be having it due to using Focus???Quote:

I set my system up with a follow macro like this:
/target MAIN_ACCT_SECONDARY
/target MAIN_ACCT_PRIMARY
/follow
That way, I'm explicitly following my main toon.
Has drawbacks in terms of flexibility, but it's rock solid (I target both toons on my main acct, that way it works without changes no matter what combo of team members I'm using
I also make sure that my follow macro is NOT bound to any keys on the main action bar - it's bound to a key off on one of the right bars. If it's on one of the number keys, maybe the vehicle bar is overriding?
