Following in Atlas Park - what happened?
There is "phasing". The surroundings, including enemies and NPCs and teammates, will change depending on your current story details. Phasing is slightly slow so the team doesn't phase all at once, so you can be temporarily out of phase with your teammates.

You're experiencing the maddening effects of Combat Phasing. It is a new feature of Atlas Park in which player actions can lead to semi-persistent changes to the environment, like Hellions in an area getting replaced by PPD officers because someone cleaned the streets of enough of them. My (admittedly fuzzy) understanding of this feature is that it leads to the spontaneous creation of micro-instances of sections of Atlas Park, and when a teammate passes through one, they are momentarily in that micro-instance and effectively "gone" (hence they turn gray in the team window).
NOR-RAD - 50 Rad/Rad/Elec Defender - Nikki Stryker - 50 DM/SR/Weap Scrapper - Iron Marauder - 50 Eng/Eng/Pow Blaster
Lion of Might - 50 SS/Inv/Eng Tanker - Darling Nikkee - 50 (+3) StJ/WP/Eng Brute - Ice Giant Kurg - 36 Ice/Storm Controller
You mean like what is described on this page?

At least phasing technology will only be used sparingly, since it doesn't play well with zone events.
Did I miss something? Why can't you follow in Atlas Park anymore? Well, you can for a few feet.... but then the followee disappears and goes grey in the team list.
I'm getting old. Too much to keep up with.
Thanks!
