epic flying lag

[kraemder]

ugh i'm getting it on my land mounts as i try to get my dps slaves hodir ready. going from brunnhildar village to valley of ancient winters I literally cannot see toons 2 ft away from me unless i cross over into the other area. This would definitely be a phase type area I am sure. Argh. I hate this. these phase areas are everywhere? /cry

could be phasing areas i guess. i get it constantly though - immediately leaving dal going north in crystal song. There's no phasing areas that I know of in crystal song and it happens every few seconds basically. It seems like a network lag thing honestly although I have a good cable connection. I almost never had this problem in Outlands =( so phasing could be it and well its everywhere for me.

This is indeed a phasing Area.
The most common ones are the area with Brunhildar Village quests.
Also the first town in Icecrown north of dalaran and its area, the area south of Icecrown Citadel and the area north of Icecrown.

I dont know if you use Jamba ??? I use it and it gives me a /raidwarning when follow is broken.
I know when to expect it, and when i get the warning i just stop moving on my leadtoon for 2-3 seconds to let each slave 'phase in'.
Sometimes they are stuck in the area before the phase, all i have to do than is press my up arrow key (i have my arrow keys relayed to each screen) so the alts move into the phased area and get back into range for /follow.

I also use Jamba's FollowStrobe, when i get the follow broken warning i just wait 2 seconds and followstrobe picks them back up, no need to mash the follow button.


Other than that.... get used to it, suck it up, whine at blizzard for making phased areas, or go back to singleboxing, or just ignore it and be happy that we at least have /follow (some MMO's dont even have that).
