Targeting Issues

Hawke · April 2014

Here is the deal, I have had some occassional targeting issues in game with a few mobs. But for some reason during the Vampire quest I had such an extreme issue with targeting, that it actually affected my combat and even death.

Attached is a video displaying the wackiness of what was going on. You can see the staff jerk back and forth but no effects, heck I dont even initiate agro. Mage's Fury did not work either, and neither did Daedric Curse.

Please fix this bug. Even though I finished the quest... this kind of bug in the future is mind numbingly irritating.

Thanks.

Aproved:
I got targeting bugs as well. Your crosshair is not in front of your char. It is allways an way to much at the right side. If you aim targets etc. And if you are in front of them then you wont hit them(Need to aim higher bug) It is not right calibrated, Plus: if you want to go backwards your char turns around instead of walking backwards. Then if you want to go forward again your char is turning around random. Verry bad calibrating of the movement and aiming at the Havoc engine.
I realy wish to see an fix for that. Especialy since i reported that more then 3 times now.

Realy dispaointing, how Zenimax is ignoring that problem.

Yeah I noticed aswell, guess I'm just too accustomed to auto target. Meh in legend of mir I had to keep the mouse hovered over the mob or player to hit, and if target was moving fast t could be difficult. Damn I've gotten lazy.

I get these issues more in the 35+ zone, not sure why. It could the mob type or the terrain.

This game has severe issues with targeting and PVP. I can be in a battlefield match and there can be 4 enemies in front of me and because my camera's just slightly tilted down, my character won't launch so much as a light attack. Happens all the time meanwhile people run circles around me and cast their skills with no problem and I die instantly. I am usually the person with the most amount of deaths on my team, and what I find interesting is that in another game in PVP I'm literally one of the best players in the world. I'm not an idiot, I'm not a stupid person, and I notice a severe issue with the mechanics with targeting in this game.
