almost 12 years of playing mmorpgs this is one of the few games that i would like to play, but not with the current "targeting" settings.

MOUSE CLICK

this is a horrible and unaccurrate way of targeting and belongs to games from 1999.

Either implement an option that disables "Click and Run" or code a standard Targeting function for "Next, nearest,last" enemy.

i am not sure why you developers werent implementing a Target function, if its because of Bot users then thats nice, but many people dont care.

The game feels very uncomfortable for me, just because i have to click on MOBs after every fight, if you implement an proper TARGETING function i come back and play your game.

i am usually spending alot cash on Item Malls, until you developers woke up and got over the Bot user problem i am playing something else with Target function


Runes of Magic would be a nice example how it should work.


bye bye

    Yeah I also hate having to click an enemy to target them when you get in big dungeon battles its a pain when they are attacking someone and you cant click them because your allies are in the way. I think by pressing an attack skill it should auto-target the nearest hostile enemy.

    I agree. Many other MMO's have a Target system. Ya press 'Tab' it selects the nearest enemy. when i joined Perfect World it took a long while to get used to clicking. i'm still tryin to get used to it

    Quite honestly I don't think it's that hard to click on a target. If you don't want to have to click that badly then just run up to the monster until it attacks you, easy way to get it targeted. ^.^ Hehe.

    Personally easy targeting makes things well too easy. =P Imagine the Snowman event with auto-targeting. xD Sit down hold one button to target and another to attack and you're set to go. Heck throw an eraser on the keyboard and leave or something. Makes botting way too easy. I for one do care about having bots sitting around.

    Anyways, nice suggestion I doubt it will happen. For one the Chinese developers work with major game play changes. Also threatening to leave if they don't change something isn't going to get much done. So bye bye. ^.^

    @Existzero You can always Shift+Click to click through players and target the monsters.

    Not to mention there are already bots I've seen a few of them saw one person killing the same 3 enemies for about a week.

    *lol* The laziness of people amazes even me. Too hard to select a monster by clicking, and too hard to shift+click. Come on give your fingers and brain a bit of a workout. Hehe. ^.^

    Bots sitting there killing monsters need to be banned. See a bot, report. -.- Don't take advantage of flaws in the game, bad idea.

    Hotkeys = speed
    speed = fast paced

    Tell me you want to watch a video of someone trying to click an enemy 5 times as hes running across the screen or... would you rather watch someone target them on the first try and yeah...

    If you are unable to target the monster by clicking, learn to play better. I never had a problem and neither have most other players. Got to level 90 fighting like that, so can you.

    The players that want this targeting thing just want to bot.

    The mouse targeting is the main thing I hate about this game. Pain in the butt to play as an archer. If your click misses the mob you run toward it and then you're too close to do full damage. Here are some points and counter-points about mouse targeting in Perfect World.

    Point: "If you can't mouse target then you suck."
    Counter-Point: I never said that I can't do it, I just said it's a pain.

    Point: "Mouse targeting helps prevent boters."
    Counter Point: This is completely false. Do a google search for "perfect world bot". Also, the "auto run to targeted mob" and the "pick up the loot button" features make the game way more botable than mouse targeting.

    Point: "'Button targeting' or 'auto target on skill use' makes the game too easy."
    Counter Point: In my opinion it makes the game faster not easier. However, some people do see that as easier. I would like the challenge of the game to come from the game, not the controls. Give me a logic puzzle, a dungeon maze, or a tough boss that requires good gear, strategy and timing.

    Point: "If you don't like the game go away."
    Counter Point: I do like the game. That's why I've taken the time to type this up. I think that button targeting would add a nice finishing touch to "Perfect World".

    Do you always talk out of your ****?

    On topic,almost everyone i know wants a better targetting system,it would make things like rebirth orders,instance runs and the like beter for all involved,assist targetting is pretty useless and squads mess up all the time and clicking on mobs can be unaccurate.

    NOTHING to do with being lazy,it makes the game user friendly and less chaotic,as a poster already said,its the gameplay should be challenging not fighting against your keyboard and mouse.

    And we on the pve servers are the carebears????? You want to turn pvp into a smash F1-F8 1-8 fest. You would not even have to worry about selecting a mob/pvp player, just smash keys as fast as you can......
    I thought the pvp server people were the ones that always said it takes skill etc etc etc to pvp, if you implement what you asking, even a pve server carebear like myself can see that it would require absolutely no skill to pvp.

    If your party is messing up selecting the right mob to attack (as in assist attack after selecting the tank), do you really think auto-target would help?
    Lets use TT as an example of how this would fail.
    You are in a hallway, with very fast mobs, veno lures one. Would you rather have the tank catch the lured mob or spam a skill/spell and end up attacking a different mob? The assist attack is about as simple as it gets when trying to have people attack the correct mob.

    Also, another scenario. You are out grinding, spamming your skill macros away. So with autotarget, as soon as one mob was killed, instead of stopping the macro, it would just cast it on the nearest, even if you were not ready, and if you have patroling mobs and you had timed where to be you would be in a world of trouble. Personaly I think the skill macro system already takes out lots of the "fight your keyboard" issues. The clicking method takes some to get used to, and some mobs have a wierd select box, but it gives you the most flexibility to attack what you want. (like press the attack key by accident instead of heal/buff, while standing near a high level mob with sacrificial attack.... you can see what would happen if you had auto-select...)
