New Tab Targeting

xaraan · July 2015

Not good.

Looks "prettier" but less effective, harder to follow target or even see it in plain site when lots of effects are on screen.

I concur.

Never like the ugly white box much either, but it was more functional. I would prefer just a small arrow above the head.

Also, the new health bars are a little too thin and hard to see, and they seem to be too low on the enemy, causing them to end up behind the mobs head.

I agree. Subtle white outline defeats the whole purpose of singling out a specific target you want to attack.

Just give us the option to choose between the new and old version, problem solved imo.

I love the new tab targeting. Looks much better and I can see my enemy in the crowd.
The best thing is, you can now see them through obstacles.

Maybe they could add an option for those who somehow don't like it, to choose which layout they prefer.

I found that the new targeting dropped very easily too. More or less as soon as they moved out of range.
In addition, it worked poorly compared to the box. Mobs or pets near or in-front was targeted by spolls instead of the tabbed target. But that might have been caused by lag, but for me it worked much worse than the current one.

Is there any addons that change the effect?

Well, I doubt there are at this time.

you could in the old way too

ToRelax · July 2015

I have to look closely a few seconds to even see who I targeted now, kinda defeats it's purpose.
Want the old one back.

Hated it instantly, nothing wrong with the old one.

You could see the target behind obstacles all the time.

The new health bars are bad, yes.

Tab Targeting needs a LOS restriction. Ridiculous mechanic.

lathbury · July 2015

yeah we should make this a poll I also prefer the older version

Yuke · July 2015

+1 for old version

Ahzek · July 2015

I prefer the old one vut dont minde the new one much either.

Turelus · July 2015

Anyone able to post a picture of the new one for those of us stuck at work?

I like the new one, personally - with the box I was always unsure if I was targeting the boss or one of the umpty squitillion mobs in front of the boss. (Plus, it looks cool) I think an option to pick the one you like would be ideal though. Or both.

Both sounds like a good idea to me. The box makes it easy to see where the target is, while the outline makes it easy to see what exactly is targeted. So I suggest combining them into one uber-target.

Turelus · July 2015

Thanks @ToRelax +1 Insightful.

I personally like the look of it over the tab boxes, I can see why people would rather an option though.
This is actually something I felt ZOS should allow add-ons to change so people can have custom ones.

*push*

this thread is not allowed to die...

Please ZoS. You have me on my knees here. Im begging you. Revert this crap or make it at least an option to choose between the two.

Its almost impossible to keep track of your pts tab target while beeing heavily outnumbered. Dont laugh, but this is seriously a huge nerf for the small scale community...

ScruffyWhiskers · August 2015

Old version. It looks like a graphic from an 80's arcade game but it's better than the glowy glow which I didn't even realize was the targeting indicator for a while and thought my keyboard was broken!

ChefZero · August 2015

I like the new one. Its easier to see whos targeted in a zergball.

Jujujitsu · August 2015

There are two issues here in my opinion. One is the aesthetics of the tabbed target and the other issue is how it functions. I personally think that the new outline makes it easier to follow your target, BUT I want the old way back.

My spells are missing my tabbed target all the time in IC. And not from the enemy players defensive efforts. If there are npc mobs anywhere near it seems like they get priority. I will have someone targeted and my cursor in their area and my spell will shoot off 30 degrees to the right or left and hit a mob. Or if my target is in a group of people my spell will more than likely hit the player in front. Defeats the whole purpose of targeting. Not sure if others are finding this issue?

So give me the old style back or fix the new one before release.

While I prefer the old version, Rich Lambert already ready said the new version is staying.

What bothers me most is that the softlock is not working as well as the old version. I have had many players tab targeted, only for one of the multitude of mobs to run in front of said target and the ability hits the mob. Mind you I also had my reticle right over the target. Am I the only one noticing this?

I suppose I could and will have to adjust to this new graphic of tab targeting, but it need to work for crying out loud.
