Blankchild Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) The PvP in this game is fantastic. In those inferior games, like WOW for example requires you to: 1. Face Opponent2. Click Tab Tab is for scrubs. Targeting between opponents in SWTOR is like a mini game in itself, it forces us to use a combination of the tab key while frantically trying to click on an adversary, which I think brings an extra dimension to our gaming experience. Although we don't have a linear system like wow it would probably look like this: 1. Find Opponent2. Click Tab 3. Rotate Camera a little to the left spam click Tab4. Spam mouse click while spamming Tab.5. Curse at your monitor6. Go back to step 1. Finding a WZ is just cake. Today I logged in, queued up and got a match in less than 20 minutes. I actually played a total of 3 matches, and while they were all very memorable they were also similar. For example the last WZ I did was Civil War, of course I came in to the match half way through and sadly we were losing, but as the match progressed a leader was born. His name was Hansulu, a level 10 Smuggler. Han began to issue orders in a way that would make Stalin proud. He knew how to play every class, and was probably pro at them too. I'm certain of this because he started telling everyone how to play their AC with random precision. Naturally an argument broke out about who's better than who, and who knows more about x class. Long story short, did we win? No. Did we fight like Spartans till the very end? No. But that's not the point. The point is you can't win them all; or one out of three. I salute you Hansulu.

AndrianMendel Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I found this bit of satire comedic. Tab targeting sucks. And, so do most players. Group up and focus fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbyt Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I lose a lot of fights because I make the assumption that if there's only one person in my field of view I should target them if I hit tab. Instead I get not facing target error because I targeted someone behind me on the catwalk instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annalora Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 LOL @ HANSULU ok ok i stopped laughing xD yeah the tab target really does suck sometimes. not as bad for healers since i only target an enemy to CC them, but still! and those level 10's know everything! dont even pretend they dont! lol!

SweetOldBob Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Targeting is broken. I click like a mother on a target -- it has red crosshairs, and still it's crap-shoot as to who gets shot at. When I play my Sentinel alt, I've also found that sometimes I land in the general vicinity but out of hacking range of my target. Love WZs, and maybe this is all some sort of user error, but it looks to me like some of the PvP mechanics could use a little work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subatomix Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Nice post. Sad but true. Yet, we still play. I also notice on my first WZ of the night, my target is not outlined in red. So I'm not even sure who I'm targeting. So I: Spam click TAB Which would also be a great name for a guild come to think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varicite Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) I salute you, Blankchild. : ) I'm glad that someone agrees that tab-targeting is a better mini-game than the space combat. It's much more rewarding too. Sometimes, I can target my opponent even before I die! Edited April 4, 2012 by Varicite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real PvPers use keybinds just to use the bathroom in the morning, because it's so much more skillful doing things the harder way for no reason.
