Anyone notice....

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.

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

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.

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
