    N/A (Party Member(s))

    Monster Name:
    none

    In-Game Time:
    don't know

    Steps:

    (these are the steps followed for most recent episode)

    After entering the Darkhold, before the first Imperial Device to open the second door, one of our members got enmity from the Bone Nix(?) and died. When I tried to use my Raise spell, the player would not target. The following steps were taken:
    • "ESC" to de-select Tank
    • Click name of deceased player to select them
    • player does not select
    • try selecting other (not dead) members, target each successfully
    • "ESC" to de-select, and try again to select the deceased party member
    • Press Raise button on action bar and then try to target deceased player (like you are required to do when using Raise on out-of-party players)
    • Raise begins casting on Self (I assume, because no one is targetted. Never let the cast finish b/c of long cool down)
    • Develop Tourette's in Ventrilo chat, and flip the table.

    Since the latest patch (1.20b), I have been experiencing problems trying to target party members after they have died. Consequently, this has made using the Raise spell impossible most of the time.

    twice I have been able to finally target and raise. The first time, i don't remember the circumstance, but it was in the Black Shroud after fighting one of the Moogle entry NM's. The second time was in the Darkhold run mentioned above. The Tank was already targeted during Batraal. When she died, I was able to cast raise immediately since she was already dead.

    This is rather annoying, but you have to select the Raise spell before you are able to select KO'd players--or at least, that's how it is for me--it will autoselect your character(assuming you're using it from the action bar) and then you can tab to the players. Alternatively, you could probably type out the console command.

    I get that. If you're standing around outside of Ifrit and a party pops up dead, you have to hit Raise then select one of the dead players. However, before the patch, you could target dead members and then trigger Raise. (/snowball at a dead buddy, anyone?)

    The issue I'm having now is I can't target dead party members, period.

    /target tank
    /cry

    you can't do this anymore. Also, I did try hitting raise first then targeting the dead person. Does not work.

    Am I missing something else?

    PS..... am working my way around this nonsense with a Raise macro:

    /action "Raise" <st>

    So now I have to make sure someone ELSE (alive) is targeted and I can now subtarget the deceased to raise them. but this is a pain in the ass.

    A bug wherein the party member targeting feature also targeted KO'd party members.

    Sorry Frisq, that was a bug.
