Thread: FFXII style Target Lines in XIV (2.0)?

This would indeed be interesting, and allow us a more visual view of who is holding hate and how the battle is flowing without us staring at menus the whole time.

While you're at it, give us a cone/circle for the AoE effect of abilities as we select them.

I am all for improved targeting, but please be realistic with these lines.

They would be going all over the place.

Unit Frames in other games (not just WoW) have special frames called "Player's Target," "Enemy Target," "Target of Target."

Theses show up in small resizeable boxes that show who your party members are attacking, what that mob has targeted, or in general the "target of your mob."

Furthermore, highlighting a name in the unit frames to a special color (maybe red) is a better way to indicate this person has aggro rather than having this awful target line going everywhere.

Not only would these target lines create unnecessary lag, but they would be pretty distracting for something that could be implemented far easier via unit frames.

If these lines do get implemented, please allow turning them off.

A big no to this target-line idea. It works for single player games, not MMOs.

Reinheart's translated LIVE letter #2 indicates they're going to have target of target frames in the new UI, so I guess this has already been addressed.

I don't see how adding a graphical line would add performance lag or server lag. The data's already there anyway, and it's a simple line. If you recall back to XII, the lines would only appear when a change occurred to the unit's target, and then quickly melt away. It didn't ruin immersion or anything. And if the PS2 can do it, XIV can do it. Visually, I like it better than what WoW had to offer.
