Fundamental Game Play Issues

[Vivik]

I agree with the OP. I think that these issues should be looked into.

BUMP 4 GREAT JUSTICE

know wut i hate when u have auto target on and instead of it auto selecting the closest target in a group of mobs i swear it will pick the one furthest away, seconds tend to count in situations like that.

Wow, I completely forgot about that. The auto-targeting in these cases is extremely retarded. Ten mobs right in front of you and it is bound to pick the one far out of range. That should really be looked into.

Auto-Target does not work for me if any of the mobs are out of view. I gotta position myself such that my next target is ahead of me.

Fortunatly, SE has coded such that most people will Auto-Target the same mob.

[Rearden]

At least its consistent and will pick the same mob for everyone granted they are looking at it

Edit: but this could be updated to where "x" player is set as the assist and no matter what the game autotargets that players monster regardless of when he changes target, etc.

I think Autotarget targets the lowest HP red mob in sight, or in the event that there is only one red mob in sight, it targets that. I don't know how they could really make that better, except to remove the sight requirement.

Behave like the normal default-target system, I guess. Like, if you hit the Tab key while not targeting anything.

To be fair, I didn't know there was any system to it, I never noticed anything before, other than it's never the one you wanted.

@ The people who think that gear swapping is uncouth or outdated let me just say from a BLM with capped EVERYTHING point of view that even though I have full AF3+2 I still gear swap A LOT why? because not only do my STAFFS help out DIFFERENT spells but also because I like to squeeze out ever extra dmg I can. I do the same on my Melee jobs also. Gear swapping is knowing what piece of gear to use with what ja/ws/ma. I know that with the now cookie cutter gear and zerg everything mentality that abyssea has brought upon the game, that only veteran players that were around before understand these types of concepts so I wont say that you're 100% wrong. Everyone has their own play style. I am old school and therefore spend hours formulating and testing different gear to see what works best, because I like to see big numbers. Prior to abyssea it took gear swapping and knowing your job to make those numbers push the limits.

Wrong thread? I don't see anyone here complaining about gear swapping.

He may have been refering to the OPs sight on gear swaps which was quickly shot down seeing as none-retarded people have no issues with gear swaping and have fully understood it is NEEDED in this game to be anywhere near good.
