can anyone explain difference between target mode a and c

i can see anything different between a and c.

A- Set to All
Up/Down targets party members
Left/Right targets all targets
(With a controller you can Push the Auto-Run button + EmoteList for 'ALL', Main Menu for 'Friendly', Cancel for 'Party', Confirm for 'Enemy')

C-
Always set to ALL and can't be changed like A can for controller users

from what I've tested, with a keyboard

it's seem like they messed up the A mode, something might went wrong

No, you're just not paying attention, Leeloo just explained it two posts above yours. Target mode A will require you to be in a party to test it out.

I want a D Mode which only target enemies

B Mode lets you switch between friendly and enemy targeting.

I wish they would have clarified what each mode now does in today's patch notes, considering that was the only real change.

I thought thats what the targeting modes did prior to the patch?

Pretty much, the new thing was adding /tmode C

People were having issues on /tmode A where it would change to "enemy" or "party" unexpectedly and screw them up. Then they'd have to type the /tmode commands to change & then change back. When all they wanted was to keep it set to "All".http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...1.17a-Not-Good

Also this was added:

A new text command has been added which allows players to specify targeting behavior when pressing confirm without a target selected.

/directtarget (/dtar) [subcommand]
　>>Subcommands
　on 　Toggle direct targeting on.
　　　(Overrides active targeting mode to render all characters selectable.)
　off Toggle direct targeting off.
　　　(Determines selectable targets based on current targeting mode.)
　Toggle between on and off when no subcommand is specified.
　* The default setting is off.

With this if you like to have it set to "Enemy" with /tmode A or B you can use "/dtar on" to allow you to target a non-enemy that's right in front of you(The camp battlewarden perhaps) without having to change your targeting setup.

i think this probably helps controller users out more, since target mode a i assume still allows you to change targets with auto run and a command button, where as c always is set to all

in mode a you are supposed to be able to move from target to target within on set kind of target with right and left arrow, right? but how do you change the type using a keyboard?

You'll have to switch to /tmode b for keyboard. With that it's Up/Down to switch between "Party", "Friendly", "Enemy". Left/Right to cycle targets.

I want it to be locked for enemies only because so many times I accidentally hit UP and DOWN keys

unless they let me reassign these key to another button like PgUp and PgDown

so when you use a keyboard, mode a and c are the same?? what's the point... just like the above post, I would like to lock right left on a specific target type, while up and down stick to party members.

I'm using more than one row action bar so I need UP & DOWN only use for switch between each row

but sometime it toggle target types

I want to reassign them to other buttons

can anyone tells me with simple words if there is a mode where I can have, on a KEYBOARD, up/down for party member and right/left LOCKED to ennemy?
and if the answer is yes, can this anyone, explains me, still with simple words, how I can set this up!
In advance, thank you :)
