lollermittens Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Bump. Since we're getting cooldowns on our abilities, would macros and a new tab targeting system be too much to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenthletter Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I agree that tab-targeting could use some improvement. But what about enemy raid frames for warzones? They need to get Friendly Raid Frames to work properly before this would be viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zortezurtek Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I think I found a reasonable way around it. When you go to keybinds and go to the targetting tab, you will notice that there are target next enemy, target previous enemy, and target closest enemy binds. By default Tab is set to target next enemy. I replaced it with target nearest enemy and chose T as my target next enemy. Let's see how that works.

Doesn't always work in that if the server thinks someone behind you is closer, you target them. WTB a target closest enemy in front of my character.

WTB a target closest enemy in front of my character. Hence the suggestion on the OP. Targeting for enemies in frontal cone and by distance. Targeting for friendly in frontal cone and by distance.

Cylestat Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I agree with the OP, the tab targeting system in this game is so ****ed. I hear it all the time from my guild members as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrenalinee Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Just so you guys know when tab targeting and complaining about having to cycle through 6 people...The tab targeting system in this game is dumb. So the trick to targeting the person running right in front of you, closest to you, is to DROP your target, THEN tab. So you're shooting your pewpew ultra grav round telekinetic throw at someone, and someone else comes in front of you that you want to pewpew down. If you just tab, you will cycle to the next person that was next when you targeted the first person. So, click off target (I have clicking ground releases target option checked), then tab. It auto finds the closes person to you on your screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguineGus Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Doesn't always work in that if the server thinks someone behind you is closer, you target them. WTB a target closest enemy in front of my character. YOU HAVE IT Press esc, preferences, key bindings tab at the bottom- look for TARGET NEAREST ENEMY. THIRTY NINE PAGES OF FAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zunayson Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Totally agreed. In voidstar as a defender, I stand in front of the enemy who tries to plant the bomb, I needed to press tab 3-4 times before I target him. I thought it targets the closer enemy and I was doing something wrong but it seems it's not like that. Also, when I'm on the move (pressing "w") won't change the target, no matter how many times I press tab. I have to stop moving or left click the enemy... Rebind tab to target closest enemy.

Itukaaj Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Good post and a great QoL fix if devs do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahh Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Good post and a great QoL fix if devs do it. Does anyone else find it not very assuring they are already talking about adding some game content when things like this and alot others should have been fixed before the game was released? I mean dont get me wrong, I'm not gonna bi tch and moan and un-sub or anything. lol Just how does something that is so important in a MMO game be over-looked?

Yraith Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 recommend that after an AoE attack, I don't auto target a friendly. Tabbing from that blows when I am thinking I am slashing at a target in my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajbryant Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 definitely agree with this 100%. Also if something could be done to make clicking on friendlies not stupid impossible that would be great as well. Trying to switch my guard to the ball handler in hutt ball can be next to impossible sometimes. And yes I realize I could target him from the ops window but that involves a lot of mouse moving around the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caeliux Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Rebind tab to target closest enemy. Shh don't tell people these secrets, they might L2P. God forbid that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illidor Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Shh don't tell people these secrets, they might L2P. God forbid that happening. Yeah, I definitely wanted to target that guy right behind me or to my sides, instead of the one I am facing. Definitely. No one in their right mind can possibly defend the targeting system in this game. It is horrific. Tab should cycle between the targets your character is currently facing, period. Not the guy somewhere off the screen. I love hitting tab 3-4 times before I can select the ball carrier RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
