    Yes, I play on the PS3 and with a controller.

    I'm guessing you changed targeting settings so you only target enemies in battle, which could cause this issue...so check those.
    1. No, I changed my settings to allow me to grab the fruits. As I mentioned in the post, it the targeting system is grabbing fruits that are no where near my character before it grabs the one directly in front of my character.

    2. When is the last time you did the encounter?

    Oh great. Insult the player for the deficiencies of the game.

    No tank can maintain aggro if he has to STOP everything he is doing and try to toggle through a dozen things, all while DPS keeps attacking and the healer keeps healing. If the tank stops generating threat while fighting with the game controls, but everyone else keeps using abilities, the tank will lose threat no matter how much lead he has.

    Anyone who uses the PS3 version knows there are targeting issues. Why anyone would say there isn't any problems, I don't know.

    There's like hundreds of these threads about the PS3 targeting going nuts, do a Google Search. It's not about the filters. It's about the targeting system ignoring distance in certain situations.

    I can tolerate the problems in other fights but this one fight, it becomes a massive hurdle.

    You don't select anything that isn't in your view, so turn your camera around and with the right target settings, you only have to press left or right once to get the fruit. I seriously don't understand how it's possible to rage over this. (And yes, I've tanked AV quite a few times.)

    He wouldn't even need to adjust anything with the default settings it's fine.. If there's a fruit behind you you angle the cam towards it and hit the right directional.. When the morbal casts you hit cross near a fruit/ filter with left or right on the D pad I have done this dungeon so many times on PS3.

    Have you tried activating Fight or Flight as soon as you pull and doing as many Rage of Halone combos as you can while it's active? Cuz people do all kinds of derpy stuff and complain about aggro.

    For example, if you are cross-classed into something like Fracture and worrying about applying it right away, your priorities are not in order.

    Honestly I'd be more worried about the last boss. A lot of derpy melee dps get cleaved by that boss and a lot of derpy tanks cleave their party with that boss. Really, I presumed that was what this thread was about.

    Even if people did agree to your proposed change, even if SE agreed to it, it's not like it would happen overnight. Right now you have the tools at your disposal to circumvent your problem. What makes more sense... Begging SE to change their game overnight or to find a solution to your problem that players who have had the same problem and have overcome?

    If it were really so impossible to do, I am sure that more people would be agreeing with you. But it isn't, and many people have found a way to work around the problem.

    Uhmmm... so... as a tank main, I'm afraid this much absolutely is your fault, especially in AV where your gear level is sync'd. Moreover, your DPS are also off eating fruit at the same time. I can see how targeting fruit would be a pain in the arse, but losing aggro has dick all to do with the fruit.
