Guild Wars 2

The most annoying kitten thing ever. about to quit.

Auto Target changing..

Thief(player) runs in, pops Elite, Auto Switches to a thief(minion), I RESELECT the PLAYER, and withing 2secs, it reselects his minions, I switch back, within 2secs it selects hiskittenminion again.

Same for mesmer.

haha you got me!!! i was fooled, even though I knew EXACTLY which one you were! (mesmer), you can think the stupid kitten game

does this happen because he stealths or run out of LOS?

I’ve had this happen to me. Targeting deselects your current target and acquires the target closest to you because it is the closest target to you when you hit a skill. It’s very annoying.

You don’t have to be stealthed or use line of sight. If a player or mob is not at the centre of your screen and not the closest target. Auto-targeting reselects to the closest target.

I agree it Can be pretty frustrating espec if you got a necro running around aswell with his minions,and then suddenly you see your using your best skills on one of his minions eventhough im sure i didnt change targets,or suddenly just lose all targets while im just hitting someone..I dunno but this is pretty annoying at sometimes,and then thiefs poppinig in and out and mesmers with their teleport bs can make it a rather chaotic mess at some times.To clarify,in guild wars 1 i Always knew exactly what i was doing and why i was doing it,here..my char is not so sure what hes doing.

Also another thing.

You —- clone/minion —- target player

If using a ranged weapon, the clone will act as a human shield for your targeted player if they’re standing in the way. Which also selects the clone/minion.

I know it’s very frustrating using scorpian wire to rope in a running necro back to me, only to nab his/her minion instead because it was in the way, even though I had the necro targeted.

I have no problems with not being able to shoot around clones/minions. But losing the target lock completely adds to the frustration.

This i agree with,if only they could make it so the tab would skip pets or minions,its enough that target changes when fighting players,but having to skip through 5 minions and 3 pets and 3 clones is a sure way of losing the fight.

Yup, I’m seeing this, but most annoyingly I find I’m randomly targeting a friendly. Very annoying.

Your using the wrong targeting button if you target friendly’s,check the key mapping options menu to make sure you only target enemy players.

Ive had this happen as well. I think it’s an awesome idea that the pet can take the hit if it’s in the line of fire but please don’t switch my target. =(

Also, why do you keep saying “kitten”? Makes no sense.
