Guild Wars 2

I have played dozens of MMO’s and this game has to have the most frustrating targeting system I have ever played. The inability to stay target locked and auto attacking is really bad. I should not have to every time a target rolls have to re-lock the target and then hit the auto-attack every time. In PvE its not to much of a issue but in pvp it makes me just want to quit. I have tried every option (witch isn’t much}.

I understand losing lock on a thief that disappearses but being able to roll through a player to have them lose lock is just stupid.

If a person rolls out of range I still have lock I already had hit my auto attack if I run back in it should start to auto attack. Right now it doesn’t. Every time I have to redo the attack making melee combat unfun in pvp or any fight that has lots of movement.

It may seem like a small gripe but right now making combat disjointed and not smooth. At least imo.

I have to agree with this. For all the good things this game does do, it has the worst targeting system of any mmo I have played.

I’m not sure I see breaking LoS causing an end to the auto-attacks as necessarily a bad thing.

The issue is that when you melee your target and its always going in and out of your melee range. So to keep a person from attacking you with there main attack all you have to do is run through them. Then when you get them back in range instead of it auto-attacking your target you have to hit the button. Given lag the target can just run through you and force you to reattack them and starting it all over again.

It should be as soon as your target gets back in your arc it should auto swing. thats the point of a auto attack. Right now its clunky and ineffective.
