Guild Wars 2

Can Anet pls fix auto target in WvW i’ve asked before and still nothing has been changed. Why does auto targeting target WALLs? you cant damage walls without seige so please can you stop players auto targetting walls?

I need to use auto target because it normally helps alot seeing as im using a Laptop, however this autotargeting really needs a fix SOON. Trying to fight theifs near tower and autotarget locks on to wall is dumb. Also their needs to be a auto target priority system added to autotarget feature, so many times its locked on to npc’s instead of the invaders who are stood next to me killing me. Or targeting players miles away even tho they are out of range yet it doesnt target players in front of me and tab doesnt change target.

(Just to warn you, this thread will likely be moved to the suggestions forum soon)

I agree with you, the targeting algorithm in this game is so terrible. I don’t know how a human being programmed it… because this human being would have to notice how terrible and unfriendly it is!

Unfortunately I’ve started targeting with the mouse. I don’t like it, I’d prefer using tab, but sadly the tab targeting is so useless, clicking is more reliable

:(

Targeting really do need work. Some kind of priority system would be nice. Wish they would make disable right click option too. When finally manage to get proper target, drop it really fast when pan camera.

Disable it. Seriously. Auto-targeting has made me rage so much, and it really doesn’t take that long to get used to doing without. Bind a “target closest enemy” (orwhateverit’scalled) button in combination with clicking and you’ll feel much more free as well, no more hitting a random deer while fleeing with ride the lightning!

You can disable right click in options.

Coo.. I must learn to read options. Thank you.

They only put it last week

Disable it if you value your sanity

I hate that there is no priorisation between targetting enemies and friendlies. It’s sometimes real pain targetting correct enemies inside friendly melee stack without constantly getting friendly targets. And then have my fireballs fall to the ground 1 meter infront of me, or some random tab target somewhere I don’t want.

Sometimes you want to check friendly health or debuffs, but if I could toggle the ability to do that off. I would, if it ment I could always reliably target the correct enemy in big fights.

Add making hostiles take priority over neutrals to that list. How many times have you targeted a deer or warthog instead of an enemy player?
