    Targeting Issue with Latest Patch

    I can target npc's now with my filter set to enemy. I can target mobs now with my filter set to friendly. OMG how hard is it to get this right?

    I'm having the same problem for both target modes. With addition, I can also target friendly NPCs in enemy mode. This happens when I'm not targeting anything and either press the enter key or the accept button on my gamepad to target. However, using the D-pad and arrow keys to target does not generate this problem.

    Is there any chance this targeting issue can be resolved in the next patch? Also, originally, it was stated that we would have the ability to toggle between /tm A & B but the toggle feature didn't work after 1.17 nor 1.17a. I hope this can be resolved as well?

    /targetmode a (lowercase)
    /targetmode b (lowercase)

    Works fine.

    Same issue. Targetmode B set to "enemy" allows me to target both party members, and NPCs. I accidentally quit behest earlier today while set to "enemy" because of this. Likewise, when set to "Friendly" you can target enemies.

    Targetmode A (i play with a controler) when set to Enemy or Friendly does the same exact thing. I like the new addition to Target Mode A, with the inability of up and down button to change your target mode. But good god, fix the fact that you can target things you aren't supposed to!

    Yeah... I use Gamepad too and noticed that. The enemy target all and not only the mob. Fail :s

    I hope they fix that fast

    Understand, and I have a macro for each. However, originally, they advertised this as a toggle, which would allow us one macro instead of two:

    /targetmode (toggle - switch back and forth between A and B)

    Well, i had no issue at all. Right now, selecting the "wrong" target is an exception that happen when you press confirm button with no valid target on screen. The game will just assume you want to select "something" and target the closest target.

    I'm very happy with this change ^^ and even this small exception can/might be corrected soon.

    Greetings everyone!

    I apologize for the trouble many of you have been experiencing with the targeting. I could see that being very inconvenient in certain situations. In order to forward the concern, we'll need a bit more information. zzapp, since you started the thread, could you please fill out the following?
