Guild Wars 2

Hello,

It’s possible that this may be a mechanic that I don’t understand, but:

In combat, the target that I have chosen will commonly get switched to another one nearby, often a green friendly. I was suspicious that it was me fumbling the tab-key by accident, but I’ve been paying attention and it’s not that.

This is a pretty important combat-bug, if it is, so I thought I’d mention it.

Thanks,
Jake

This has been happening to me since day one. My target in combat frequently gets switched to my pet or something nearby (or even cleared) for no obvious reason and I’m not even touching anything. I don’t understand why this is happening.

Hello,

I’ve continued to try to figure this out, and it’s possible that this happens when the mouse gets clicked on something away from the target on-screen.

If true, I understand why it’d happen, but I don’t remember this happening in other MMOs. I use mouse for movement, and haven’t been a keyboard-turner for many years. Keyboard-turning shouldn’t be encouraged, so I’m not sure what to do here.

I took a look at the options menus, and I didn’t see a targetting-solution. As I say, I don’t remember having this problem before, so I’m not sure what mechanic is different here… :/

Thanks,
Jake

Try checking “promote target” which locks you onto your current target. Also you might try turning off auto targeting.

Are you using vent? using the control key for push to talk will cause this to happen, because control Left mouse click calls target. This gets very confusing.
