    Target character changing gear cancels /follow after 15th of september update

    Platform: PC
    ISP: Viken fiber
    Type of Internet Connection: Wireless
    Internet Connection Speed: 9,5 Mbps
    Date & Time: September 15th ++
    Frequency: Always
    Character Name: Celedar
    Race: Tarutaru
    World: Lakshmi
    Main Job: Red mage
    Support Job: Scholar
    Area and Coordinates: Any
    Party or Solo: Solo/party
    NPC Name: Not applicable
    Monster Name: Not applicable
    Steps (example scenario):
    1. I target player character
    2. Console type (with target character selected): /follow
    3. My character follows the target character
    4. Target character switches armor pieces for faster casting to cast a buff (like stoneskin). My character looses /follow and runs straight forward.

    This problem only occurred after the 15 th of september 2015 update. It greatly reduces the intention of /follow, being able to follow someone, either if they need to change gear to cure, or buff, or any situation where it is wise to change gear.

    Uh... that's... been the case forever. If you don't have lockstyle on, then changing gear causes your character model to "blink," which then causes you to lose target because the model goes poof for a moment. As a result, you're set on auto-run in a straight line. The best solution is to turn on lockstyle so that your visible equipment doesn't change (this doesn't help, however, if you change weapon types, like staff to club). Otherwise, if you plan on "blinking" a lot, follow may not be the best idea as opposed to manual control.
