Fixed Targeting System

Gameplay Feedback Features
#1

First off, again thank you IMC for bringing this game to the west.

One of the old classic JRPG features is fixed targeting which is implemented in ToS. However there are a few bugs that have made using it a bit troublesome.

  1. Fixed targeting would target a mob far away from you instead of the mob you were trying to “gather” making it hard to kill the ones you’ve clumped together and even resulting in death if you couldn’t react to the ones near you swarming.

  2. Switching targets was painful. You made the default button TAB. Which is a problem because main combat skills are also on the left hand. While this may be better than putting the switch target button on the right, the pressing TAB is still difficult for many. I suggest you allow us to be able to edit controls or switch the default to the space bar instead.

  3. Switching targets seems random. Thus I had to press TAB at least 20 times in boss fights if they had minions spawned. You should give boss targeting priority or even make it so targeting would target the closest mob but first target the boss in boss battles. So if I was targeting a minion but then wanted to re-target boss, I would just have to find an opening to get near him again and re-target instead of pressing tab or the target button 20 times

I hope you can use this feedback to improve the game further. Good luck to your dev team! We have high demands haha.

I assume you’re using a ranged character? Yes, I agree with changing how the targeting system works. For the next test (if we can play lol), if they haven’t changed the system yet, I advise switching to and practicing mouse mode. Hovering your mouse over a monster will automatically target it. Clicking also works (70% sure, I have a doubtful mind).

My Ideal targeting system. Hold space to keep current target. Tap space to select new target.
