Tenthletter Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 As long as they don't "fix" tab targeting the same way the "fixed" the GCD lightshow. No seriously, Tab targeting is so bad, probably the worst I've ever seen. Definitely bottom three if not the worst outright. FF11 was bad too but that was designed with consoles in mind and nowhere near as fast paced with movement, so it wasn't as important as in this game. WoW and Rift are similar style MMOs and both have VASTLY superior Tab Targeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egamadeus Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Agreed, i would very much like to see the Tab targeting fixed so that it cycles in a more intuitive interface. As it is right now I use my mouse for selecting targets quickly. It seems to be much faster to do that then to Tab to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffur Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Completely agree. There are many times I have pulled a pack of mobs i didnt mean to cause of horrible tab targeting. Also in PVP there are times when it can be a absolute nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukor Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I've hated tab targeting since the beginning and it has yet to get any better. Thank you for posting this suggestion OP, you said what we were all thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microwavegerbil Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 A smart tab targeting system is definitely in my top 3 list of things this game needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilCoatrack Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Signed. Lost a huttball game yesterday because I had to pull off a split-second target and Force Leap in order to kill a low-health carrier that was mere meters from our goal line. The carrier was the only enemy target on my screen. I pressed Tab and immediately hit my Force leap. I ended up targetting some imperial 30 meters away OFF MY SCREEN and went in completely the wrong direction. It's bad. Fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knyght Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 /signed Tab targetting is horrible. I'll have 4 targets visible on my screen. I want to target the one with the lowest health. I can tab about 8 times and it will cycle through the other three targets multiple times before...if ever...targeting what I want. I usually mouse target but that is also very hard to do sometimes, especially in PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrys Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 This wouldn't be the issue it is if click targetting a scrum pile was reliable. Which is why I as a healer try and get close to other people. The only people you can target easily with 100% control are those by themselves.

Dagonis Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I didn't read the whole thread so forgive me if someone else mentioned this. Tab targets aren't random. I don't know how it DOES choose but if you notice, it only picks people currently on your screen. Not true I've had it target players not in my current screen plenty. Very aggrivating to see only one person low on health a bit off in the distance and hit tab then charge assuming he's the ONLY possible target because he's the only one I can see. Then to have it charge sideways to someone I couldn't even see on my screen... I say again VERY AGGRIVATING! Needs a bit of tuning to ensure they're actually in your current viewpoint.

Hawaiianlion Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Signed, sick of looking at 3 enemies by a voidstar door i need to dot but it cycles betweeen two of them over and over and wont target the one in the middle of them that is a single step farther away from me. And i love tabbing to people on a rafter in huttball 2 stories above me and out of los. Its really really broken compared to the game that will not be named, its night and day pvping on both games when it comes to targeting and especially targeting while kiting. Why cant i click on their name to target as well as their ridiculous tiny hitboxes? We wouldnt even have to tab if manual targeting was half way decent. Love trying to heal the huttball carrier while deciphering the riddle that is people names in this game, ok so lord darth of the north minetrone babyvendor the hotshot pilot has the ball. Yup sorry dude youre dead, i would have healed you but had no clue who you were in the ops frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapuchinSeven Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Agreed. EDIT - Also yes, it DOES target people no on your screen. Happened to me a lot. Edited February 17, 2012 by CapuchinSeven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderQuanTy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 rebind targiting to mouse wheel and you will have no problems pervioes next shift up nearest shift down target next allie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahor Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't care if I could target by klicking the enemy on with my mouse ... but most times this doesn't work too . I smash and penetrate my left mous button but NOT able to get a focus :/. And as soon as there is anything between my char and my target it's imposible to click this target even if I see the full body of my target. I play ranged classes in PvP. If some meele jumps me and I try to target him ... I'm more often dead before I finaly managed to tab + click + nearest target focus him. Over all I have no idear how some meeles (even more the shadows) manage to hit something while sprinting ... stearing and targeting is a pur pain in this game . rebind targiting to mouse wheel and you will have no problems pervioes next shift up nearest shift down target next allie That's no option as the camera allways zoom in as soon it hit anything but don't zoom out again (BUG which need to be fixed too ). Should be no problem to remember player set view distance damit, is it???:confused: Edited February 17, 2012 by Jahor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiianlion Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 rebind targiting to mouse wheel and you will have no problems pervioes next shift up nearest shift down target next allie Thats fine if i wanted to play in first person mode everytime i walk near a wall. Sorry too busy mousewheeling out every 5 secs in huttball so i can see what the hell is going on since the camera zooms in and stays zoomed in.

Delavager Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Agreed. Add this on top of mouse click targeting is a bit rough AND it's hard to tell who is targeted without looking at their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
