They mentioned that there would be a lot of ways to earn assists besides helping to kill a player. In fact, dealing damage was the only thing the did not mention. They only specified "healing, buffs, and other actions." "Other actions," to me, sounds like objectives. In FEAST, for example, you might score an assist by picking up the medals of a player someone else on your team killed (thereby sparing them the "heavy medal" debuff). It sounds like SE is taking "assists" to mean actually assisting your party, rather than just a concession for not scoring the final hit.
I see. Too much CoD in my head I guess. I didnt really consider it being anything else since I missed the actual live letter. Not a bad idea to institute then.
