Just tried the new event and was unable to get any toon to assist - to get them to follow did the old double click on the target char - so they got the event completed of of the back of my main char. The macro to do all of my buffs still worked - note it's manually started with no delay or timer. I typically play for a couple of hours each evening and normally have my buffer assist. For my Warsmith, who should be paying for my SS, I cannot even get the mechanical golem to assist anymore.....
Not sure I get this update, hopefully they figure something out soon......at least let the assist function work. I didn't use the auto hunt function and go afk, so no loss for me there.
Note: I played lineage for over 10 years starting with the open beta, you couldn't drown in those days but you could drop stuff. ....
