Losing target during encounters

[KRIPTICON]

I think I discovered the issue. Dpad up/down switches reticle to myself. So the issue is me either not fully depressing the trigger button before I select a skill assigned to dpad up/down, or it’s the split second “lag” involved with using a wireless controller. Since I’ve discovered the issue it’s happening less, but it still happens occasionally. User error + minor wireless technology error.

I just need to be more deliberate when pressing buttons and slow down a bit during my rotation button presses. Thank you everyone for helping me figure this out.

BTW, I can’t find a way to disable this feature of dpad up/down changing target reticle to self. Is it possible, and I’m just missing it? Or is that just hard wired controller command?

Target cycling party members by pressing up/down on the d-pad is a primary built in controller function and I'm pretty sure it can't be turned off. It may seem annoying now, but it's actually a great feature and if you ever decide to take up healing you will immediately understand what I mean.

Yes, thank you, I have realized this now that I've been playing for a while. While I haven't started a healer class yet, I can see how this will be a blessing when I do. Right now I am just focused on getting used to how the controller handles the button presses. I don't have near as many mistakes as I used to now that I know what the issue is. Happens rarely now!
