[dev1249] The /assist text command

[Volsung]

(not a gripe thread, a praise and suggestion thread)

[dev1249] The /assist text command has been added. This command allows you to target the target of another character. Characters can be specified using subcommands such as <t> and <st>

Ex.)
/assist <t>
/assist <st>

* As of patch 1.20, the /assist command does not support the direct input of character names. This feature is being considered for future release.

This was something unexpected that can be a great help, so THANK YOU. Just wondering what is meant by the last part about using player names "being considered for release". It IS something I would like to see implemented, and would make the command that much more useful.

I am thinking it is something along the lines of putting in a /assist <player name> <t> or <st>

Most of the time this is so you do not have to target the person you are going to assist first before hitting the /assist.

Yea I know exactly what the player name thing entails, I'm questioning why its only being considered for release when it would be an awesome feature to let us type player names in.

/assist "Helena Primrose"

would let any player instantly target the mob I'm targeting, its much more useful than what we're getting now, I hope they're doing more than considering it.

Ah yeah that probably has to do with name length and the current servers and such.... though it probably could be added now it is just not something high on the list I would think...

I do agree this should be added in as soon as they can ^^

Yeah, i was a bit confused at that too... hoping they bump up the priority a bit on this... seems a bit silly the way it is now.
