Guild Wars 2

Somewhere in this image there’s a boss npc.

But thanks to the number of players combined with the enormous amount of spell effects it is near impossible at time to keep track of where it is. We need to have some sort of system that sort of highlights a targeted enemy’s outline/silhouette and have it on the top visual layer so it is easier to track a single target when you have 50+ players going at things. For ranged players this is not as big of a problem, but melee can sometimes be left behind if the enemy moves and we have to recenter onhim.

Image 1 is of the hidden boss in player spam.
Images 2 and 3 are of examples of enemy highlighting in other games. They are not the best but it’s the point I’m after.

Ever tried using “Call Target”? It places a rather nicely visible crosshair over the targeted mob.

Doesn’t work when your not in a party. Now if they made it so you could do it while not in a party that would help but even still its hard to see that sometimes when you have this much crap flying all over your screen.

You can target enemies even if soloing though a work around. Send an invitation to someone off line (I use a guild member that hasn’t logged on for months). After you have sent the invitation you can then call target and get the crosshair.

Shouldn’t have to use weird tricks like that just to see a target.

Targeting is so party members can all attack the same target so they didn’t think it was needed for a solo player. Not saying soloers don’t need to be able to highlight the target in some way but that was probably their reasoning.

Until or unless they change it up, you have to work with the tools they give you.

Which is the reason for this suggestion thread…. the current system is inadequate.
