Guild Wars 2

It makes sense to come into a mob with the sensible intent to start at one end and work your way to the other. But all too often I kill the first, see the second one highlighted and naturally think I’m going to attack it next, only to have my character charge through the mob in order to attack … supplies?!?! guaranteeing that I aggro everything in the room and have no hope but to die. Often this happens even if I click the appropriate buttons to manually target the next enemy. Why do I not automatically target the nearest enemy? Why? This makes absolutely no sense and is extremely annoying.

Could be the right mouse targeting you can’t turn off, it’s a feature not a bug apperently.

I will second this.

I dunno what is up with this system, but the option is either to keep your auto targetting on and after taking down a target it swaps to some random object halfway across the room even though I’d been hitting 3 other targets while taking the first down…or turn auto targeting off and, when I’m trying to dodge out of melee to swap to shooting, be hitting the floor for the first 3 autos until I can manage to click my target with the mouse.

Clicking the target with the mouse wouldn’t normally be a problem if I didn’t accidentally select a team member and end up shooting nothing until I can finally target the intended foe.

It’s frustrating. And when I want to untarget that stupid object that auto-target selected for me? I have to frantically click empty space multiple times before it stops aiming at it.

Very frustrating when leaps end up wasting my time. Any advice on this would be welcome.

The auto target will automatically attack the closest target if you have no target selected. Maybe this is what’s happening to you? If not maybe try turning the stop auto attacking when you deselect a target?.

yes, this is a horrible issue that im actually impressed it hasnt been fixed yet. Frindlys shouldnt be selectable, also passive mobs shouldnt be selectable either (@ least not to fight it).

Yes this is a BIGGG issue in the game that makes me wana punch my monitor/keyboard and many times have I had this discussion with my friend on vent starting to attack one monster next thing I know my character desides to randomly start attacking something else to witch I say on vent there she goes again…attacking inanimate objects even a growl post. Is it 2 much to ask to ask for a target lock system that actually stay’s on what your trying to attack?

Yes to this. Far too frustrating to be taking on a champion boss and having my character switch target to a rabbit or a cow or something else at random, especially when that something else is a good distance away and my character’s using melee weapons.

Even more annoying when my character’s in a downed state and always autotargets something well beyond reach.
