I just found a workaround for when party members fail to follow you!

I’m guessing y’all have been having this happen a lot too: you jump from one platform to another. Maybe one or two party members follow you… or maybe they all just stand on the ledge, picking their noses. They can all make the jump. Why won’t they join you?… So now you have to ungroup your party, manually make each laggard jump over, and regroup. It’s been maddening lately as I’m in an area with lots of jumping and having this happen very frequently.

Solution (and tl;dr): Simply ungroup and regroup. This seems to reset all your party members’ pathfinding and get them “unstuck” so they will jump over properly. I’m guessing this will solve other similar pathfinding issues as well.

This is such a simple workaround I’m surprised it took me so long to figure it out. I hope it helps someone else.

    I’ve been doing this for awhile and unfortunately it rarely works for me. It’s been really bad since I picked a certain movement-related worm power (don’t know how to do spoiler tags so I’m being vague, sorry)

    I also have this issue with summons - specifically the imp. It seems to only happen when it’s invisible

      Yeah my summons get left behind so often, weird that the pathing doesn’t seem to work for them.
