lags with /follow (Quad Boxing)

[unit187]

keyclone, yeah I have 100mbit cable.

Not sure what you have meant, but if you mean location then I am like 40 miles away from my ISP

Latency in-game jumps from 32 to 112.

If only I didn't get randomly disconnected like 10 times in a row sometimes...

holy crap O_o

ok.. 75Mbps down and 25Mbps up is just crazy. how much does that cost?

wtf is going on where i cannot even buy those speeds in the US for under $3,000/month... we (ISPs in the US) really need to get on the ball.

well actually this is local speed, farther - slower

it costs 930 rubles, or like 35$ for 32gb traffic

good news... it's working since 2.2 oO.... maybe follow "bug" fixed ;D

Hope this is true. I had a 2mbit/2mbit shdsl connection at my former home, but I couldnt get more than 1mbit/256kbit where I live now.

I'm going to pickup my 5-boxing again this week, so I'm a bit concerned about the bandwith issues on /Follow

However I got 2 connections, one with 1024/256 and one with 768/256 to spread out the load on, so this might help. If not, I will have to subscribe to even one more broadband connection (getting expensive :P )

got no more problems with follow and 5 accs now and got 100/128 :>
ping's ingame around ~160-180ms with 1 acc ~90-180ms :> so it's pretty ok I think ... happy now :>

sounds like really good news. Guess I will be able to see for myself this weekend.

Having similar /follow lag issues while playing 5 accounts. My internet connection does not seem to be the culprit considering my speeds.



Not great, but not bad either. My ping to server is usually around 14 - 122 to blizzard. Not too sure what it could be, but I will try 3 then 4 then 5 to spot any noticable differences between the three.

Also, as soon as they begin to follow they slowly trail off and after about 7-10 seconds they stop following. So it's not the usual lag, as in my main window not seeing where the characters "really" are in the WOW environment. The characters actually are trailing off bit by bit.

Any suggestions would help. BTW loving my 5 box experience, we are almost to level 6 and it took under 35 minutes!!! D

!!!Interesting development!!!

Just tested out three 5 minutes ago and everything was fine beside the usual visual lag, AKA main window showing my characters farther back, but on the alt screens they are right behind me. The thing is my ping was 1400+ with Beerfest going on, which leads me to believe it is not a network issue, but a client software/hardware one.

I would have tried five but my ping is horrible and I feel my findings would be inconsequential.

I'll try later and post my findings.

BTW, ne1 else experience the type of issue I posted above?

Also, might try to see if I have the same problems on a low pop. server.
