Targeting Cross World Party Members?

[Maxcrafter]

New kid here, trying to heal a cross world party. Most of my party member targeting tools, little macro like: Line 1 =/ta <2> - Line 2 = ... /heal the ninja that ate the cleave.. don't work on this. Is there even one tool to use that is more or less programmatical, or am I stuck with mouse-over targeting? Searching doesn't come up much more than ... "you can't get there from here.." [Some party commands work differently in cross world parties, yada] Tia!

Cross world parties don't really act like normal parties in a battle setting, until you're in an instance.

So, for example, if a skill/spell specifies that it must target a party member and not just anyone, it's not usable while in a cross world party and not in a DF instance. And as you've noted, a lot of other functionality is missing too. Cross world parties are essentially preparation to join the duty finder queue into an instance.

The workaround for this - if you're not planning to operate in a DF instance - is to have others world visit and meet up on the same world, and then form a regular party. A cross-world party in the overworld is more akin to operating ad-hoc with others that don't share a party.

Aye this has been biiiiiiig point of feist on this end. Fate or hunt requires everyone invited cross world to disband party then re-invite. Uncertain why no functionality exists to convert crossword party into regular party once all are present on same world buuuut what does one lala know.

This costs precious time when so many early pullers appear to be out in force especially for rare fates like the Odin one.

Game I left has working solution for this stuffs that I miss so so very much. All aoe heals apply to non party members in Swtorland and can make raid group of 24 members (one huuuuge party). It makes world bosses so much of the easier to deal with over there. For clarification in case there is confusion, raid group is not three separate parties of eight it is one party of 24 so all (use on party member) skills just work.
