the movement system does need formations and a jump when I jump order. Following members default should be single file not a diamond as it is even worse with the no party limit as that turns into a triangle. Even hitting right click the party members do not always stop. controlled character moves a hair and I have party members running all over the place. Oh, main guy is looting let's follow his every move while maintaining a broken formation while moving twenty feet for every step he makes. Ungrouping is the only solution. Following on long movements puts the entire group way behind the main character or initiating combat when i am still out of sight range. or on some choke point. If I am going through a door everyone would continue through the door and not just stop or even have them roll not to knock each other down if surprise the front character stops because there is someone in the room.

Was in the rock and went to a door half my team went to the other door and tried to go through. I was stuck saying sorry didn't know not to go through there about two dozen time because it kept giving lead to another character causing the rest to start shifting and wanting to open the door. Or I am near the bank and somehow, I aggravated a npc on the inside of the bank. They kicked me out of the bank putting me in the front of the bank. I was outside not inside.

So yes, the formation system needs work and the auto follow even more so, hey there is a trap let's stomp on it has to go. Hey, a trap everyone should freeze. I would rather combat start to remove the trap them step on a trap. Click on disarm trap and set the trap off even if successful at disarming the trap and dying is annoying.

system telling me I can't get there and so I jump when the character moves, they go through the others that were blocking them from walking through to jump.

Single file formation would stop a lot of this as the controlled character stops the others would have to stop. If combat starts your squishes are not blocking the plate wearers who. Lead character moves as fast as the slowest person and not ten meters ahead of everyone.
