Targeting options. Please add it!

[Okipuit]

While mouse over targeting in ver 2.0 is great, you completely avoided the original post, Will we be able to have an option to have PRIORITY of our targets go from left<->right regardless of distance to something more practical like left<->right:closest to furthest

Right now in game, it's difficult to target something that is to the left of you and slightly ahead when there are targets more midline to your character but completely out of range. THose targets that are midline regardless of distance have priority over ones that happen to be closer but more lateral.

Can you comment on that? Hopefully it won't take seven months to get a reply that doesn't answer the question.

ChiefCurrahee, we're able to share updates as we receive them. We understand that you have a very specific suggestion but as other topics are also being discussed here we chose to include some general updates to targeting here as well. Please understand that we have taken your suggestion and passed it off to the dev. team but we can't always discuss things that are in-development.

As you're aware, the targeting system is being completely revamped in version 2.0 so there are a lot of great improvements that are being made. We ask that you wait for the Alpha test and beyond to review the progress of the targeting system developed based on the communities' (including your) feedback.

I understand you guys get what you can and you do a great job on here, I don't put any blame on you in this regard, but the only information we have been receiving is ones translated from the JP forums. I feel like the developers don't bring much attention to the NA/EU side and I see really good topics here that I don't see in the JP forum not responded to even though it is highly popular. I understand there are communication borders, but its so rare we ever get a specific response. It would be nice if developers payed attention to our side just as much as JP.

Again, thank you for everything you guys do. I just ask for updates that I haven't already read on the JP side/Reinhart's threads already.

They aren't ignoring the NA/EU side. They just post in Japanese because that's the language they speak and write most, so it all goes on the JP board first, regardless of the source of the feedback. You'll find that for most of the changes that get implemented, both the JP and NA sides were giving similar feedback. What we all want from the game isn't always as far apart as you might think. In the cases where only NA or only JPs think XYZ should happen, it probably wouldn't be as likely to get changed.

It's just frustrating that people have been complaining of the targeting system since the launch of the game and we're met with silence, and then a comment which had nothig to do with the underlying problem.

I know things are to be redone in ver 2.0 but it's something that could have been implemented to have a positive direct and profound impact on the current game.

Thankyou for a more direct answer. Like many others i'm patiently awaiting the alpha/beta test of 2.0, and all it's solutions it's promising.

All players will have alpha test access? including Chiefcurrahee? <.<

Why wouldn't I be part of the alpha test? I was in Alpha 1 before launch. Only fitting sense i've been an avid supporter for XIV for so long.
