New targeting system causing issues

[Krisan]

UP/DOWN = party member list

LEFT/RIGHT = mob, npc

Remove the group targeting completely.

I think a good compromise would be to add a command that toggles what LEFT/RIGHT does. That way you could just create a Macro where you could only target party members, or where you could only target mobs, or.. Yeah.

But regardless, I DO really miss my UP/DOWN party selection.. We really need that back in some form or another. >_<

What part of "General Discussion" made you think this section was for technical/in-game difficulties?

forum Nazis are quickly becoming worse than trolls.


Anyway, was the ability to choose Cure targets from the party list removedd?


It doesn't work for me anymore.

I don't know if you all know about the context-sensitive buttons in this game but they're great.

After you've selected your spell, Cure for instance. When it prompts you for a target and the AoE box is up left and right will only select applicable targets on your screen. Right now I have Enemy set as my targeting type while in a group, when I cast cure it allows me to select party members regardless. The targeting mode is adaptable. Also when it prompts you for a target, the emote button toggles AoE. Also when you're on your skill bar the same emote button can start a battle regimen. Watch out though because there are known problems with battle regimens screwing with some controllers.

I don't understand how a functioning target system can be such an issue, but it is. Yes SE please fix the targeting system this is not working.

This! Final Fantasy XI targeting was worlds better than this. How we ended up with what we have now.. I will never know.

Edit: Also, if I'm casting a Fire/Water/Etc why in the world does it let me target a party member? If I can't cast it on them I see no need to be able to target them in the first place.

Or maybe people should not be stupid and stop spamming threads in the wrong sections?

...

Nah let's just keep opening pointless threads in all the wrong places that's way more fun.

You do realize that the mods will just move the thread when they see it, should they feel it needs moving? I'm not saying people shouldn't pay more attention where they choose to post things, because they should.. But it ultimately isn't worth arguing about.

This isn't a technical issue. Nor is it a bug. Why, then, are you saying it should be in the technical issue/bug report forum?

That's why I'm agreeing with you, since I'm not the one that was "arguing" about it yet someone felt the need to say I'm worse than a troll for simply pointing it out.

And just because someone could clean your trash when you throw it out on the street doesn't mean everyone should do it.

This isn't a technical issue.

How so? He's pointing out a problem he has with a technical aspect of the game. Anyways I don't want to derail the thread.

I've been using the new targeting system exactly like it was before. If you guys remember making macros on FFXI, there was a command <st> for selecting targets after choosing a spell. The default system on here reminds me of that, when you choose a spell you get a subtarget so you can stay locked onto a mob while healing party members. You cannot target mobs with the subtarget for a cure spell, and you cant target party members in the subtarget for nukes. This is how i get around the UP/DOWN issue.
