About the targetting bug

[Vodkafairy]

Jaja another thread about it -

Apparantly it won't get fixed, at all. But some people say they have no problems targetting at all, so

can everyone check ingame if they get a target when they release mousebutton on a target, or if they get target when clicking someone. + give ui and client you're using

if there is no way to work around this problem its probably time to /quit, but am just curious if the problem is for some people only or for everyone

oh and: [14:57] <eggy^> Requiel says they are looking into the /face problem, and will be hotfixed, with no ETA

 

[Jimmi]

no problems targeting here

 

[Vodkafairy]

well thats just what i didn't want to hear, give more info

+ give ui and client you're using

 

[Jimmi]

running classic SI client, but works with Cata client too. I'm not running any custom ui atm.

 

[Majsan]

No probs either, using toa client with si skin

 

[Espen]

as i said.. also check if you have "mouse pan" bound on mousebutton 1... thats the reason it feels weird..

 

[Javai]

I'm having no problems but I did test and it does give target on release of mouse button so you need to do a click to get target not just hold button down.

I guess those of us not having problems are the ones who click quite fast or don't use mouselook or something.

For info using Cata client, Derida 1.80 UI.

 

[Vodkafairy]

please say if you get target on mouse press or mouse release also btw, and thanks for replies

 

[Tiztla]

have no problem at all, using Deridas latest

 

[Thornea]

Running my own heavily modified version of True-Blue UI and finding no problems clicking bar targets moving at speed 5-6 (but ive always had hell clicking on them hehe maybe 3-4 attempts).
U can go char selection screen.. options and change models for each class/race to classic/toa/catas etc.. setting to classic is supposed to help. (Mine are set to cata).

ohh and target on mouse click

 

[Appollo]

Get target after i release mouse button.

Using Toa client with PollyUI v1.67

Only noticed this yesterday when i was clicking ppl at a distance to maybe line up a PA.

 

[Naffets]

Target on mouse release here

tried:
toa client, derida 1.80
si client, plain si skin
cata client, si skin

Tried with the above setups on both 1.75 and 1.77, both the same. Really quite annoying

 

[Chronictank]

Toa: custom skin made up of various things
Toa: Si
Cata: Si

all have the bug

Im unsure whether the client / Ui has everything to do with it cause I played for about 3 hours last night ..when I was solo around Mid and Alb I had no problem targetting ..when I died ( I SUICIDED HONEST ) I joined a hib group that went crau and ran into a mid group and I couldnt target any of them by clicking the mouse in anyway ..had to assist anyone else doing damage ..when they died another group came along shortly after and I was able to Nearest Enemy and I was able to target them ..its pretty ghey . Soz dont have better info - thats just what happened

rightnow conversation:

Hello,

After the new patch the way I have to select targets has changed - ie, I get the target when I release my mousebuttom instead of when I click a target. I've heard many rumours about this being 'the new system', 'a new feature that will be fixed next patch', etc.

Would like to know why it really has been changed. Also, is there any way to restore it to the way it was before patch? I really cannot seem to get used to the new system, its frustrating up to the point where I rather not log on at all because I'll only feel guilty for not winning mez and whining about it.

Also theres a bug with /facing - sometimes when i hit /face, my character turns the complete opposite way of where its supposed to face. You can imagine, playing a main CC class, suddenly having my back to the enemy group thats inc is quite frustrating.

Please, please fix a way to restore /face and targetting it to normal, or do a hotfix. It would make me and many more of your customers very happy - or to stress my point, it would make my chars fun to play again.

Thanks,

Greetings,
Thanks for the query. It is unlikely that the targetting system will be changed in the immediate future. The way it is implemented currently on EU servers is identical to the current US patch version 1.77. It was changed because there were situations previously where objects could be entirely untargettable.

The issues with /face are being investigated however as yet we have not been able to replicate this problem.

Thanks for the fast reply.

There is absolutely no way to restore targetting to how it was before patch? Because I'm now pretty much unable to play my characters anymore. Don't think I'll be able to keep playing this game if the targetting stays the same and its the same for many other people.

Hello again.

Unless Mythic revise the system again and make it available to us as a hotfix it will not be possible to change it.

Yours sincerely,

All I know is that it's a bugger to select Stealthers that appear next to you to PA them! Until I get used to it, it's like "OMG Stealther there" "OMG can't click on him, come on, click click click" "Got him, damn he's out of stealth range" "Here he is! - aha got a lucky click" - then fight ensues.....

Get target on release, but personally I have no trouble with it since I've always just used fast click to get a target anyway.

 

[[CE]Hjendug]

Im running Deridias newest UI, and for me its fucking impossible to target a luwi, i have to use nearest target

 

[Chronictank]

wish they waited for bug fixes before implementing it :/
i dont see how feasibly people testing it didnt see the bugs
oh well guess we wait for 1.77.. anyhow im off guildwars is calling

 

[Thorwyn]

This is what I´ve found on another board...
The new "feature" was implemented to counter autolevel tools. Apparently, the client "checks" for your target as soon as you´re klicking the mouse, but the target is not targetted until you´re releasing the mouse. However, the mousepointer doesn´t need to be over the target when you´re releasing the button.

*shrug*

 

[Neffneff]

im on derida's 1.80 runnin cata client..absolute bastard to target people..ESPECIALLY jumping people..some mages drivin me mad.

its not a bug its a feature...

"working as intended"

 

[Eregion]

this is such utterly bullshit, can't understand at all how they could change it at this stage of the game..

 

[Adlatus Hellbringer]

Im using the latest derida ui (v1.8) and in either toa or cata i have targeting problems.

Its fully shite...

[Konah]

spose we'll get used to it, not much choice. but when time matters its just that bit longer to get a new target or name check your target. dumb change.

i get target on release of mouse button, s.i. ui atm

 

[Vodkafairy]

yep, it will always be like this from now on i guess

funny how mythic always manages to disappoint. if it isn't some OP class, its a fuckup of the first grade in game mechanics

 

[Akyma]

im using ghost UI, i target after release

 

[majik]

It's a stupid change from a stupid company, but once we are used to it, it won't be that bad, just pretend its the old Olympics Game for the playstation1 where you have to spam ze buttons as fast as you can to run faster xD

 

[Leel]

I made a char on Lamorak last night, us servers running 1.77b I think, and I have the new free classic client with si, and I had that targeting problem. So not fixed.

 

[Jaem-]

The change RvR only?

Not noticed anything different on mobs and other albs tbh.
