Guild Wars 2

Why is it so hard to make this do what it says rather than Target Next Enemy or Neutral?

And while you’re at it have only be effective in the forward field of view or give it priority.

I’ve been irritated with the targeting myself. I’d have a foe right in front of me but my character wants to target a foe to the side or way off in the distance that is out of range.

Uhhh targetting is SO broken, I can’t target any world bosses, pressing tab (which I shouldn’t even have to do at all when I’m front and centre staring down a gigantic world boss) just cycles round and round through trash mobs and incidentals around, and even outside of, the fight area, the same few over and over and not the huge flappy dragon thing/wurm thing RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME

This issue is so old, when is it going to be fixed? Ever??

Arguably THE MOST IMPORTANT part of the game. This deserves PRIORITY REPAIR STATUS.

• Target only ENEMIES (Red text) like the keybind Option states.
• Target NEAREST enemy first, not way off in the distance.
• Target enemies in my FIELD OF VIEW first, not offscreen.
• Target enemies behind objects LAST.

2 years into the game and targeting is still bonked lol. It never wants to pick up anything that is standing right in front of you – not even champs or elites. No no, the random trash mob from a mile away is more important. Sigh.

There have been PLENTY of bug reports about the re-broken targeting since the 9/9 Patch. Have any of them been acknowledged?

Nope. Targeting the closest enemy was been deemed to be too confusing. Go kill that moa over the hill instead. Or maybe that wall over there. Ignore the warrior currently bashing your face in, no good can come of that.
