Guild Wars 2

I’m probably not alone in this, but I still find it almost impossible to correctly target enemies, and also to maintain a target. Even after fiddling with the options, I can’t get the game to target things right. The game often deselects a target during combat, or refuses to select a target that I’m directly clicking on.

Take the Maw for example at the end of the Fractals dungeon. That thing is huge! But try as I might, it still takes about 20 mouse clicks before the game finally selects it as my target. Other targets, both large and small, suffer from the same issue. A huge boss, or a tiny crab, they are all really hard to select. Selecting a target becomes nearly impossible if the target is also surrounded by about 30 players during a group event.

If I finally manage to select the correct target, it is only a matter of time before the game automatically deselects it. When fighting a boss you will be dodge rolling and moving around a lot. So the chance that at some point your camera will point away from the boss is quite likely. Please do not deselect my target if I look the other way!

This is one of my biggest frustrations with the game right now. Its a core issue with the combat in the game.

Yeah same with me, targets a non-theatening target that may be way off, or not even on screen.

It would be good to move to a target that’s a threat at least.

Targetting’s terrible.

One of the main reasons for losing target, especially when in a cramped and crowded area is the fact right click controls both camera movement and target select.

If you move the camera around and happen to end on something you will select it instead. A known issue, but it seems to be waaaay down on the devs list.

Same here, even tabbing to select a target doesnt work a lot of the times, or selects a target really far a way..

Dodge roll makes me lose target a lot of times…. and a lot of times i will lose my target for no reason..

And yes trying to target an enemy by clicking in a crowded area is plain impossible…
