Target System Adjustments 1.17a -- Not Good

[bird]

I'm guessing you guys use keyboard? This change just made controller targeting NEAR perfect! I now use target mode A while in 'enemy target mode'. Since up and down is locked to party members its much better than using tmode B and selecting party members out of order or accidently changing targeting modes^^, along with the fact in Tmode A and using enemy I can now just hit my 'confirm' button and it targets the nearest npc/pc Rarely use macro anymore... Never accidently changed targeting modes cause you DON'T have to hold auto run to you know... auto run...

Thanks for this! Admittedly I didn't quite understand the new update. This is definitely the change I've been looking for. Yay!

I haven't tried the latest changes to targetting... Patched the game last night, then spent the evening continuing my Harry Potter marathon in prep for the last movie (I need to be freshly mad at Bellatrix)...

Probably do a bunch of stuff tonight though.

They still don't understand how to make the game friendly to everyone

just allow us to have ability to setting/customize what we want!

How can anyone be happy with this, as it's clearly bugged. In either tm A or B locked on enemy, you can target friendlies, and in either mode locked on friendlies you can target enemies. Fix this and then let's asses this.

actually no i use a controller and having the same issue. it needs to go back to the way it was pre patch.

was out mining and didn't notice it changed on me so got attacked by a miteling on my 29 miner. i had to change to my thm just to find out that it changed itself to friendly only. the arrow buttons do not change back to all so had to put my weapon back up, grab my keyboard, type in targetmode b, then targermode a, and finally pull my weapon out and attack the mob. thank goodness it was a weak mob beating on me or i would been dead due to this stupidity. a bug report has been reported on this junk.

That's because the arrow buttons DON'T change which mode you're in. Hold down your auto-run button then press your emote button and it should be set back to ALL. Come on people read the patch notes.

This new targeting crap is beyond crap, i dont know if its broken or not.
It seems to get stuck on either, and after you put down your weapon it dosent changed back to w/e mode i picked first.

So horrible it's worth not playing with this horrible new change.

For gods sake make up your mind, keep what we had last time.

Stuck on either what? Is that a complete sentence? Also before this update your mode didn't change when you placed your weapon away, so I don't know what you're talking about.

My thoughts exactly... and why people need to HOLD DOWN auto run button to auto run when it requires just a tap is beyond me... *facepalm* They damn well near perfect the controller targeting and people bytching like mad... Tmode B was untouched and all Tmode A added was ability to access other targeting types with the added ability to select pt members and close npcs while on enemy mode lmao...

I don't even know why I'm responding to this nonsense of a thread still, guess it just gives me a good laugh at how people can never read the patch notes properly and get messed up on the stupidest things xD

Today mine got stuck also. Though partially my fault.
I don't have a button set for emote list - so I need to add that to be able to set it back to "all." That's my fault.. but...
Here's the issue: While "friendly" (main menu button), and "enemy" (select/confirm button) work just fine, auto-run + cancel for "party" mode doesn't seem to do anything. I can't switch to party mode.
Anyone else having this issue?

Actually.. just considered the thought that I may have to be in a party to switch to party mode... Does anyone know? Can you switch to "party" target mode while not in one?



I actually like the switch, despite the fact that I got stuck on it once. May have accidentally tapped a button when I hit auto-run. Gonna have to be careful about that. I think it's the best thing SE could have done for controller players. (And this is coming from a person who HATED the initial "target mode" thing.)

I don't understand how the targeting system is so bad. It shouldn't take any time at all to target your enemy or allies. In WoW no matter what you want to do it's instant targeting. How is it so bad in this game?
