Targeting options. Please add it!

You want a target radius attached to your character but thats less intuitive the cycling through from left to right or from right to left of the camera view because what about that odd moment when you do need to target further away?

Again, not the issue. I don't want the radius, I want the cone we have now. Except it going from left to right through close targets first, then jumping to the next furthest because that is what you will be fighting most of the time. Why would you care about a mob not even engaged to you standing somewhere at the edge of the visibility range?

Besides, what is being requested here is an option.

Just use a mouse to target it will solve you problem

I am playing on gamepad. If they are supporting keyboard and gamepad, they have to do it right. "Just use mouse" is a lame excuse for a glaring fault in the implementation of targeting cycling.

But I gave you a solution in my previous long comment, if you toggle on only targeting engaged mobs when in active mode it won't target that mob further away it will cycle through those closest to you and for casters if you have 2 buttons set aside assign to Target engaged enemy previous and next this also solves your problem... both cycle through ONLY engaged mobs closest to you first... YOU feel like YOUR talking to a wall, I even explained why your targeting further mobs but I don't think you even read it... I don't know what else to tell you other then to use the mouse, I'm not having the same problem and I'm using a PS3 controller for everything... I don't think you want to try my solutions to fix the problem, you want SE to waste more time adding more features to an already complicated targeting system... It's not broken at all and theres absolutely nothing wrong with the targeting system perhaps we're playing 2 different games with controllers... -_-

I went to farm some aldgoat skins today. With direct targeting on and two aldgoats standing in a row in front of me, it targeted the one BEHIND the nearest one. Like this.

Targeting only engaged mobs doesn't fix that. It only limits it to a smaller selection of mobs, and with gamepad having few mapping options I'm not sure how I am supposed to target a mob not engaged to me while having another one engaged, for example when being the puller in a group.

What I want is this:

Seriously? Dude, "talking to a wall" was aimed at Firion being stuck with his vertical list being better than the same list aligned horizontally.

It's all great you are satisfied with the current targeting system, I'm not. And I'm not alone on that. No matter who I ask ingame, people agree the targeting system is one of, if not the most frustrating aspect of this game.
