Yea man, I usually ride for a fair bit then stop for a second to make sure no alts are falling too far behind. Also, on the straight stretches of road, I switch to one of the slaves so I can see if anyone is dropping off the pace at all. Ilike how on the slave's screen you are 5 yards away, yet on the leader everyone is like 30-40 yds behind, makes me facepalm quite often.

I believe we will always get some lag due to being Aussie, but I also feel it won't be this bad forever, should be getting better within the next couple of weeks.

As for the DCing, I also get this. Especially when there is a lot of activity. Like when Ally turtles and it's 35v35 at the base...it's just too many and 1 or 2 toons will cut out. Or when going for the Jenkins achievement and the druid you bring along ecides to grab 80-100 whelps for the lols and you all DC when you thunderstorm.

I'm not going to bother with the rising crop, i usally just ghost wolf around shit city and in Av it's alright to be near the back at the start, you can set up behind everyone then start nuking/pressing forwards.
