Targetting and my tale of 2 Mongrels

[Arcell]

I use a gamepad and I've never had a problem with targeting mode B. Yes it will occasionally select something I'm not fighting but I've never had a problem selecting my target quickly. It's all about the direction your character is facing. If you're looking right at them it should target them first, that has always been my experience at least.

Also just set a /targetnpc macro on your first of alt/ctrl. I have it set so I hold L-trigger and press A, target NPC.

The only really addition/improvement I see the need for is for Enemy mode to target engaged enemies preferentially.

My problem was not selecting the target quick Arcell. When I pressed right I got a target, but it was not a claimed mob or even a quest mob. The second part of this comment is when I am asking for. By the time the game had cycled through the two ravenous nannygoats my character was at 100 HP life. This is what my post is highlighting a simple range/perference equations would have stopped me from dying. Then it was down to my ability to play the class correctly. Like I said when I had one mob sleeped and the other attacking me, it was a challenge, but fun and then, I had this targetting issue. I want to highlight it because it has happened before and you feel cheated. Also like a poster has said, this game is really hoping for a good PS3 release, so the control on a gamepad will be essential to that.
