Yes there are specific keys that target NPC's or PC's etc... but when you're just smashing through enemies in Leves with a party, and there's a cluster of enemies it's so incredibly annoying trying to target and by the time you do, and lag kicks in for drawing weapon and attempting to do something the enemy is already dead.
Also, please put numbers next to party members in the member UI. I know 4-8 players isn't difficult to manage, but if I see a player in trouble, I'll identify his/her position in the party and press the correct Function key to target them. 0.5 seconds can matter when it comes to supporting another member and anything to make it easier is much appreciated.
