Posted October 4, 2022 If targeted by a mob and the mob does not have you targeted anymore you should un-target that mob. Character should not be stuck in target/combat when ran 100+ tiles past the mob. Should be smart enough to un-target old mob so can defend yourself if a new mob moves in to attack you later. Or the classic issue of some mob targeted you and you continue running 500 tiles away and then a new mob runs in and you get the attack window, but you can't hit it because you still have mob from 500 tiles away targeted. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2022 yes! asked for this quite awhile ago. been killed a few times because of this nonsense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2022 I disagree, the option to hover mouse over the target portriat and [X] to remove target is good enough. The range thing would annoy people shooting with bows, and also pvp stuffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) The remove target, albeit a nice and relatively recent improvement, does not help you at all when you were targeted while losing sync in lag or being entirely disconnected, and find yourself killed by a rat when relogging. As to archery, it would be sufficient to have the range in which you can target something (same as the distance in which a building description gets readable) which is already a lot, and far outside of any attack range. Automatic loss of target could be a few tiles more. This would already be a wide range. I am not sure about an automatic switch of target to the most recent attacker in all other cases (not mentioned here but in some similar suggestions). This would be sort of auto being taunted. I hate that already when rift beasts do it . A possibility would be that target switches in all cases where for players "you are too far to attack <creature> now" would appear for the attacking mob. And if that is an issue, all for PvE only unless required otherwise. Edited October 6, 2022 by Ekcin typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 6, 2022 I agree there should be a point where your distance to a mob is so great that you automatically lose the target. As far as ranged goes I don't see it as an issue as the target drop off distance would clearly have to be greater than any ranged weapon anyway. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OP is suggesting 100 tiles, plus you have to be able to right click menu attack your target each time you fire (becomes impossible at some distance).

Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) I should have made an edit, but just make it to where if "you" target a mob, then it won't un-target later. If you're running around and get targeted by a mob you didn't target yourself, then should be smart enough to stop targeting. Pressing the X on the target portrait 30 times while running through a highway on horse full of mobs is not a good option.
