When this is fixed will be a huge help in PvP. Not sure why the only guy in my screen and 2m away from me does not get targeted.

Change tab to target next enemy. It works fine
By "nameplate" I do not mean "operations unit frame". I mean "the name and health bar floating a foot above a player's head", which you cannot click on to target (notably quite unlike every other MMO).

The "Tab to target nearest CC'd hostile target" option is hidden and permanently checked on, I think.

No doubt, I hope they're working on this. Its frustrating to hit tab and have the game target the guy 25m away where there is a guy 5m beating down one of your teammates.

It's not busted. Turn on Operation Frames and you can see all your party health bars. I have Height and Width set at 50% so they're a good bit larger.

As for tab targetting, change "Target next enemy" to tab. The only thing that's bad is the click targetting, NPCs/players have target boxes instead of just making what you see clickable, they have a box that can obstruct other targets making it impossible to click on them

Preference goes to targets behind you and targets that are out of line of sight, too!

It's one of the complaints that I've never actually seen addressed or acknowledged by a developer, despite the current system reaping almost universal scorn from competitive players.

Honestly, I'm always shocked that more people don't complain about this on the forums...it was obvious to me (and frustrating to me) even while leveling!

all i get from reading this thread is that people are remarkably spoiled by WoW.


as a healer, it's not difficult to figure out who has the huttball. There's a giant purple or yellow beam shooting out of their head, and if you have nameplates turned on, right in the center of that beam is a name. you select the proper name from your raidframe, and you push your heal hotkey.

not particularly rocket surgery, if you ask me.

those asking for mouseovers? aggro indicators? target of target? these are all nice things that we wish we had, sure, but DEMANDING them? come on. all of those are quality of life issues that are not truly NEEDED at all.
