I don't see why it would change. Gotta keep in mind that it is the beta.

I remember reading from blue post (lost the link), that reputation tabards will be removed, or at least there won't be new ones, in MoP. Blizzard wants you to go out questing if you wish to gain reputation with the factions.

Oh god does that mean lots of follow breaking? I really hate that.

yep sure does sure does. i hate ptr/beta follow atm. (though there is some extra bugs. but even when there was not its nothing new sill a nightmare in some zones (Mosley round the new city is prob the worse. but its to do with the mount training zone.)

Maybe its because I am Australian so my MS is a little higher but when my main toon runs through a phase the other 4 end up going straight through. If the biggest problem is things like cities why not just use jamba auto follow?

I sit at about 9-40ms pings to Magtheridon and my guys would break follow _every_ time on a phase transition. The only difference I ever noticed was how busy the server was, which would determine how long it took them to "see" the phase change boundary and break follow, which determined how far apart the alts would be if I were turning when moving across the boundary.

I am from Australia and although my alts make it through the phase, they do lose follow. What I do now is around areas where I know there is a phase change, I press 'W' (forward on all slaves) as soon as I see follow break and hold it for a good 5 seconds. By this time they all see each other and I can press my follow key and keep on going. I only lose a bit of time but yea, is still as annoying as hell.

And with us losing HGWT, this is something we will have to live with, maybe I will use flight paths more now, I shall see.

This is what I do as well. After awhile , you know where the zone lines are.. i turn on broadcasting and hit "W" until they are all through and then hit follow.

The way phaseing works is it moves you zones/servers even though u do not see it going on your UI it does infact move you to a def part off the game/server even if you was on a 0ms ping your chars would still phase out and rephase in after u rejoin that zone/phase. its really cool tech but as your chars in fact are not next to you for x secs follow is going to go on us

The time it takes follow to rejoin back up is going to go on your ping/serverload


In other news: today the 14/Aug should give us a date when 5.0.x will be live on servers my bet is next week 21st Aug 2012.
