Guild Wars 2

Hey,
since the update on the target system the game function to select the closest target is not working correctly. instead of selecting the closest target it selects the next boss npc if there is one in sight.

Also sometimes you walk into the direction you character is looking after casting a ground target skill. For example if you cast it behind you, you sometimes walk backwards while your camera is still looking forward.

The ‘Target Nearest’ issue has already been reported and is listed in the Tracker: Reported Bugs and Their Status [collaborative effort by players] sticky thread that also includes a dev response on the matter.

haha ok, i searched for closest target, that explains why i didnt find anything.

Not a problem. Also, the forum “Search” feature has been completely broken for well over 6 months (which is the main reason for my starting the tracker thread). I don’t want you to waste time using it in the future, so you can instead use Google to search the forums to actually receive search results. You can specify the actual website, or simply do a search for “GW2 forum bug” and include the keyword for the issue/bug topic you are looking for. It helps to also narrow the search to within the last week or month if you feel it is a recent issue.

Here’s that issue from the tracker:

(I actually just reworded the issue so it could be found in the list easier)
