Seriously multiple times ima standing in front of a Super Zombeh and I end up targeting the Purple gang guy who is back and to the left of me ....back and to the left ._.

C.N you may think your The peoples Bugfixing Princess but untill you fix the targeting your just fiddling with cabbages.

    you too. I have targeting closest center screen first.

    I can have the box around the person, fire and hit someone behind me.

    I target the boss in recruitment drive and hit a guy on the side.

    heal spells, I aim at the tank, it targets a mob.

    I try to cast bubble on myself, it gives it to a random person(as I drop dead)

    can you at least fix targeting, so that it attacks the person you have the box around.

    also despite them being listed as henchmen, a rubbish bin and lamp post in an alert is NOT a target that I am trying to hit.

    I like to live dangerously and set up my controls so that I autotarget the "closest" mob even if I don't have anything targeted when I attack... Yeah, I sometime end up dragging over a new mob in alerts with that.

    Usually, if I twist the camera to block out certain mobs from the screen, I'll actually target what I wanted to the first time. Tab targeting has been an issue since day one and it'd be nice if it was actually improved.

    Yup, this game has one of the worst targeting systems that I've seen in hotkey MMOs.

    I've never had a problem with targeting, dunno what set ups you guys are using, but you might wanna change em because it definitely matters depending on if you're a healer or a dps.

    It's the only MMO I've played that has tab targeting that I use click targeting on.

    Honestly the only way to target the guy you want is to be in melee range, angle your camera straight down, then hit tab.

    tab targeting?
    click targeting?

    I just use auto-targeting... closest to center of crosshair.
    When I want to hard-select it I just hit Tab once. If I don't get the target I want (ussually because I twitched before hitting tab and moved my crosshair), I cleartarget and try again.

    Cycling through targets with Tab is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo 1999...

    Thing is, other games have done it so intuitively that hitting the escape key to drop target is completely unnecessary.

    Introducing a tab targeting system that requires you to drop target, that's the problem.

    Targeting is based what your character model sees. Not what's on camera.

    This used to be a big pain for me, especially my melee characters. I've since changed my tab key to 'Target Nearest Enemy', which was ctrl-tab by default. I live a lot longer now and have a much easier time targeting those mobs close to me, rather than those across the room.

    you don't eeeeeven need to hit the escape key. Just bind cleartarget and selecttarget to the same key! :D

    It may not be perfect, but at least they gave us the tools to fake it.

    I don't have any of these problems, but then again when I want to target a specific thing, I usually just use my mouse...
