Players have noticed a de-targeting bug in Battlegrounds and PvP open world environments were players can become difficult to target.
Thanks for all the info about the targeting issue. You guys provided enough clues to piece together reproduction steps for this sneaky little bug.
While I won’t tell you how to reproduce it (since it’s obviously exploitable in pvp) I can give you a workaround. When you have a valid target but start getting all these targeting errors, hit escape really quick and clear your target, then click your enemy again. This will clear out the bugged UI state so you can attack normally.
Unfortunately it looks like a code issue is behind all this, so I can’t fix it personally. It’s been forwarded along to Rothgar.
Cool, targeting is something I find tricky in EQ2 with clicking sometimes not feeling like it hits (might be large click boxes around some mobs) and tab sometimes swapping between say just two of the three mobs I’m trying to tank (and its not due to a debuff).
The 3D nature of the gears map really exaggerates it, wondering if this bug here is a cause of it.
