Yes, Tab targeting would do great for the game. Meanwhile I am getting pretty good with space-click-space techniques :D


The problem with that is the need to pause.  I've been thinking that it would be interesting to try to make it through fights without pausing, but the inability to select targets easily is the major limiting factor.

The console versions seem to have this feature, based on the vids that I've seen.  It kind of sucks that they didn't make it an option for the PC game.

Definitely would be a nice bonus to have some keystroke to target with. In hectic moments I find that while trying to click on a moving target and spam my hotbar abilities, I will have accidentally switched party members and then my main toon is left standing around or using her auto tactics instead.. Always a bummer :\\

contrary to you, most of us can manage to click an enemy with the mouse.



Honestly..."tab" targetting, as in: the game automatically chooses a character for you?

This is not an action game. If you can't even handle clicking on an enemy yourself you really shouldn't be playing this game.



So in short: Nobody cares :P

So, the question is, are you stupid or just obnoxious?  Either you didn't read the earlier posts in this thread, or you aren't capable of understanding them... or, perhaps, you're just too much of a tool to care, and you would have spewed the same vitriol regardless of topic.

This issue is not the ability to target enemies with a mouse click, the issue is a preference to cycle through targets with a key press, like in the console versions.  It really is not a difficult concept to grasp, you moron, and if you are not capable of wrapping your pitiful vestigial brain around so simple a concept, then you really shouldn't be making your profound stupidity known in an online forum.

In short, crawl back under your rock, no one values your worthless input.

My main annoyance with targeting is spells. I'm used to systems where when you select the spell to cast, you by default have to select the target. But if a mage has been auto-attacking an enemy, your offensive spell default targets them. You then cancel the spell if you click on the enemy. It makes setting up shattering combos and the like a PITA - I mess up and don't have someone fire off Stonefist around 1/3rd of the time.

Consoles indeed have dumbed down controls because they simply don't come equipped with a mouse. It's not because the console version is dumbed down that the pc version (and your speech) should be as well ;)

If you would remove your head from your rear end for a moment, you might realize that most PC games offer the player a choice between cycling through targets using a keyboard, or clicking on targets with the mouse.  You might also consider that difficulty is a non-issue in this context, since players can pause the game allowing enough time for even you to click on targets at your leisure.  This is, I suppose, the source of your objection--that you are perfectly contented to use this targeting control scheme.  No doubt you regard your ability to find a target to click on with the game paused as a major accomplishment, and for you it probably is.

The rest of us in this thread, many or most of whom have already played through the game in its entirety using the existing targeting functionality, have speculated that the game would be more enjoyable with the ability to cycle targets using keyboard input rather than using a mouse.  Although you are no doubt unfamiliar with the process, some people are capable of imagining ways to improve existing systems, while other people (like you, apparently) find new or different ideas threatening.

Rest assured, no one is suggesting that the functionality that allows you to pause the game and take all the time you need to select your target should be removed, rather we're suggesting that an additional option might be added to improve the experience of playing the game.  You do not need to feel afraid.  You may go away now.

im rather indifferent on the subject.



i can click target just fine, but at times it is annoying and having a key to target nearest enemy would be nice. i can live without it though.

As Durasteel has said it isn't VITAL, simply a preference that many of us are used to and would love to have implemented.



And bad Boe2, go back under your troll bridge.

Guru that is awesome, and I can confirm it works as well so woot. Now if only someone would discover a target cycle key or mod ~_^. Have a post in the mod/toolset forum and if anyone makes one I will post a link to it here as well so keep checking back and don't give up hope!
Patience is key.

Cheers,

I thought that was obvious.. It has those 3 lines like every resizable windows window..

I dont understand the topic... Pausing is a part of the gameplay in this game..
Its not just something to make it easier its there for strategizing your whole party in battle..
If you play without pausing your missing the point of the game

Again with the multiplayer. This game is not designed for multiplayer, and not all games need multiplayer. Besides, you wouldn't be able to pause the game if you made a multiplayer mode, and pausing is vital in many of the harder battles.

Tab targeting is simply a playing preference that some people like and we would like to see implemented. It isn't vital, but it would make a decent amount of people happy ^^. Still waiting on someone to accept mod request in the builder forums. Will keep updating as time passes.

I think giving us the option to map a key for targetting the closest enemy a fair trade. Those who like it can use it, those who don't can continue as they were.

Agreed, if you don't like it you wouldn't have to use it. Some of us do prefer it though ^^

It isn't hard at all, difficulty is not the point.  Did you actually read any of the posts above, or did you just assume that you knew what other people were going to say?  The issue is that people would like a key to cycle targets, and I for one would like to have the option so that I could avoid pausing the game.

It isn't needed, most of us have finished the game already without the option.  It is, however, desired.  It is a feature that we want, not that we need.

One other thing that is not needed, at all, is your trolling, by the way.

Now, what I have not been able to grasp, so far, is how this has anything to do with the World of Warcraft.  DAO has a target cycle on button-press control on the console versions of the game, and we'd like it to be included in the PC version, too.  WTF does that have to do with WoW?  If you think that WoW was the first or only game to feature keyboard targeting, you're laughably ignorant and mistaken.

I guess you're just another troll who can't take the time to read.
