It may not be in beta but, I would go out on a limb and bet that it will be allowed soon after release.

 

People who complained of /assist in DAoC were noobs and yeah there was alot of those there.

 

/assist did not break DAoC though.   It was a helpful feature.

If a 6 or 12man grp wants to go fight twice there numbers or more they should have the ability of being able to use this command.

It is also helpfull to mindless zergs to versus other zergs instead of clicky target or cycle and nearest enemy.

Alot people talk about skill ,it takes skill to get your teamates to use this command correctly.

 

I bet it will be there. There is nothing wrong with /assist it didn't have any bearing whatsoever on DAoC's demise.

I can't think of any PvP game that doesn't suffer from the assist train, except for Guild wars.

Gods ,could you ask them to put in a more retarded feature than /assist? what an unreal joke /assist  is a tool for leets to own the newbs and I doubt you'll see it in this game. /assist just removes any skill from being necessary and turns 7 people in DAOC in to button mashing monkeys who after being PL'd by their guild were sent out into frontiers with a leader who told them mash 5 REAL FAST ! 

any game is better without it and any one who wants it is just looking for easy kills by going X times (number of players) dumped into one toon = insta kill / target /next

gods forbid that a  PUG get lucky and score a kill on that guy whos  watching caddy shack for the 35th time and mashing  /assist 1 4 2  while getting up to rr12 so he can drive new players out of the game with 25% less effort

if any one just CAN't do with out /assist their is a new MMORPG out called DOOM,  /assist group leaders do well there solo you can kill 100,000 other players (but uh you can't talk to them cause it's not allowed) so buy a copy and get on with the leet ownage of all the other (uhhh) players today.

Yeah it will come, but the healers have much more at their disposal in this game ( albeit not so much before 20). AOE damage reductions, insane healing, AOE pushbacks(archmage). It is pretty hard to kill a healer, even if you assist train. I have had 5 or 6 melee beating on me and my regens alone kept me alive... until.. 2 sorc targetted me, but their damage is probably going to be scaled down some. Plain insane.

As long as there is ample amount of abilities that can counter assist trains, even from extension groups, it will be good.

If this turns into another elite fest like DAoC, where the strategies in open field combat were limited, and your group/spec options even more so, then it will be bad.

I played a Cave shaman, then i had to respec to Aug just to find groups, and my friends were a savage, and thane. They had to reroll just because their classes weren't "good enough" for the elites. We all ended up quiting and moving to WoW where even the worst class/spec you can think of can compete.

Having tons of options, but only a handful of viable specs does not make a Good PvP game.
