This, sorry. Should have explained better. But it skips over targeting the players and pets that are butt-humping the bell while afk which is pretty handy. I gave up on trying to click through zergs a looooong time ago. Works on the Eso vendor/Alex vendor too, where a lot of people also tend to congregate.

Oh, I should try it then. I just find it easier to point and click on most things in game.

I love SE and all, but they come up with excuses that make me want to bang my head against the wall..

When you click an npc while mounted, you'll dismount automatically.

To target an object behind multiple players, for example summoning bell, on keyboard you click X-button and hold it, and it'll remove all names except those of npcs and objects AND allows you to click on them even through players as the cursor changes into a hand when you've "found" it.

This always seemed a little backwards to me. Get bumped from my bird for a relaxing chat, but "oh hell naw I'm gonna sit pretty up here while you all fight that thing." until you actively say, "I suppose i'll get down now."

I'd like for mounting to not break combos.

Sometimes that mob you need to kill is just out of reach to run to from the mob you just killed.

But yeah, mounting on the move would be nice too.

I never realized mounting did that, you've got a good point. Classes that don't rely heavily on combos have an advantage here. And granting your wish wouldn't lead to exploits in raids or dungeons because you cannot mount in those anyway. So it seems like a clear win.

Making mounts instant cast so you could mount while running would be the best fix imo.

On controller, hitting X/A will target whatever is nearest you in your field of vision. You scroll through targets using the left and right buttons on the D-pad (up and down is reserved for your party), and hitting X/A while targeting something will have you interact with it.

Basically, it makes dealing with crowds pretty manageable since you just tab through players to find the retainer bell.

can we repair our gear and convert and desythesize while being mounted also please
