About the targetting bug

[Javai]

The change RvR only?

Not noticed anything different on mobs and other albs tbh.

The 'test' I ran was on a mob, target it hold mouse button down don't get the target release mouse button an voila!

Still personally don't find any 'problem' as this is how I've always targetted stuff, just decided to test it while stodd next to a grey mob

 

[Fyric]

its a conspiracy to bring back dark age of tankalot im sure!

 

[raid]

retarded!

everyone go post feedback to mythic pls, chances are low they will listen but who knows... cant be a big job to change it back or add an option

 

[Elkie]

Running Cadens Ui i target people fine then again i just click and there targeted i dont hold down butten

Target on mouse release.

Havent noticed any difference at all targeting wise, and the face "bug/delay" was fixed for me, by shift-left clicking the face option at the command window, and using that macro, instead of a self made one

using ToA Client, and SI ui.

I tried eveything..and i have the "target after release of mouse button."
Useless in rvr as main CC or caster
I need alot of practice now..try target a moving pet

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.

No shit? Did any of em play the game in its current state? I can inform you
that there are plenty of situations when especially small targets are really
really really hard to target. Not to mention the good old visibility bugs
that still exist at some of the frontier pet camps. (target not visible, target not
targetable)

Thorwyns rumour sounds way more convincing, then again, we might
be wrong, maybe it is a nice feature and we are just to bloody stupid
to "see the light"...

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*

Might want to add that for me I only get target if the mouse is ON the target
both when I press the damned button AND when I release it.
Currently using Deridas 1.3 modified by me and running catas client.

Rly wierd for me

I found it very hard to target and had to resort to 'F8' (fortunately not
worn out on my keyboard since I'm an Alb )

Almost impossible to play a CC class unless you change how you target.

I think a large percentage of the "I can still target fine!" brigade have
simply always targeted with quick-clicks and get the target upon release
of the mouse button.

Personally I think it sucks and is a stealthed caster/archer nerf - as they
will spend more time clicking and less time nuking.

Strangely enough as well as not being able to mezz, I wasn't perma-base
line stunned every fight...

...every cloud...

you know, even if its meant to target on release and if its meant to stop autolevelling - IT STILL DOESNT WORK. because some people are targetting just like they were before this patch. mythic rly manages to even fuck up on fuckups..

[rvn]

[Marc]

No problems targetting. toa client with SI skin

 

[Saveus]

Its hard for me to target shit aswell:X takes a bunch of clicks ect

 

[Downanael]

Have the same thing,but i dont see it as problem at all. Didin't even notice it before people started to QQ about targeting thing.

Cata client+Ghost Ui

 

[Raven]

using my version of cadens UI, cata client, cata skins, havent noticed any difference, though i dont hold the mouse button down when i target someone anyway (why would anyone do that?) i just click and release.

 

[Dallas]

raven, try it on a cc´er when your running speed5, with speed5 grp inc at some weird angle, have fun with that

 

[noaim]

But at least that 1 item that was previously hard to target is, hopfully, easier to target now!

well all cc:ers are gonna have the same problem there annoying, but no real impact when it comes to gameplay balance-wise.

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,

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,

Please excuse my ignorance, but what was the other way to target?

Reading between the lines, it seems that you could hold the mouse-button down and just "sweep" for a target?

Innocent question, btw, since I've always targetted by quick-clicks.
