Please feel free to discuss these changes in this thread!

YES! Please, please, please implement this. I know you guys are listening to feedback, please implement this it is much needed and should have been this way from the beginning.

<Yes please> to both of those.

and i have a suggestion!

Can we have the "Lock on" style camera movements while still being able to tab targets PLEASE.

How i play, i try to play keyboard only but sometimes i have to reach for the darn mouse because my camera position got screwed up. its alot better in lock on mode- but then i cant tab targets-

please make it so i can tab/change targets in lock on mode :)

This.

Truthfully I cannot even recall if you can cure undead in this game for damage, but either way as a Paladin it is a royal pain to try and self-heal while targeting the mob I am tanking with subtarget off (which is how I'm supposed to play using a keyboard and mouse, and not just because Yoshi-P says so). Can there be some sort of auto self-cast option added for things like heals so that when you're targeting a hostile, they automatically go to you? Sure I could fix this with a macro but seems unfair for the game to not offer this at some point.

Also thank you for getting rid of targeting dead enemies, it's been getting in my way a lot recently!

You can adjust the camera with the keyboard. I'm not sure I understand what your issue is.

Having camera lock-on allows you to "strafe" around the target mob in a circular pattern when using your directional keys. Extremely useful for melee DD for avoiding accidentally facing away from the target when moving around and also saves you from readjusting your camera angles to keep your character faced correctly towards the target. The drawback of course is that you can't tab-target other enemies when locked on to one.

He wants the utility of being able to strafe around and faced towards the locked target but still be able to change targets with the tab button. I think that explains it.

If we'd get sub-targetting for healing spells only I'd be one happy Lalafell.

i know i can adjust the camera with the keyboard but it is awkward for me when i am trying to dodge attacks and press macros/abilities.

the lock on camera is amazing but like i said i cant tab targets.

I don't even remember the last time I used target lock. It just makes you slower and if you really need to face the mob, there has always been a face target key as well as you can just move. Target lock is exactly what you are doing, locking onto a target so your target does not change from your current one.

ok people are misunderstanding me.

i would like a mode that allows me all the functionality of non target lock mode (like movement speed and changing targets) but with the target lock camera.

so when i press the target lock button bassically nothing changes except my camera is locked onto the target.

I understand what you are saying, but Target locking is for... Locking on to a target. Only reason I would ever lock on is to make sure I don't change targets. All you have to do is set a key that toggles target lock on and off and use accordingly.
