Personal Target Box

In my most recent GvG's, having Signet of Humility shut down an entire game where I wasn't on a split was extremely fun to do. This would make it even easier to do.

I like. /Signed (Primarily because I'm a lazy bastard, anyway)

I've thought of something similar as well Snow but the main problem I see is that it would make everything to easy.

It promotes looking at bars and less battlefield awareness. All of a sudden Top 15 mesmers are looking at queued up bars for Aegis and not the animation. They stop learning recharge times and good macro management.

The last thing I'd want is to dumb down competitive PvP even more.

They have this in everquest (1). Its called Mark npc, but can be used on anyone iirc. Anyway you can set a 'mark' on whatever target you like and a coresponding hotkey to target each one individually. Pretty convenient, would fit gw nicely. Gw already has the target calling and the ability to assist to that target, sadly it's very late in the game for them to be adding new interface functionality imo, I wouldn't really expect it, though I would love to see it. Just isn't likely.

im going to say wut i said in the other topic which is almost exactly like this is; that if they were do do something along these lines it would need to not show heath bars or what is on them at that moment ie enchants and hexs.

if i had my way i'd be able to see the other teams party window and whenever they were casting something of importance the box would flash red and the game would auto target them and auto interrupt them with computer-like reflexes

for shame Snow Bunny

I like the idea of being able to preset one or two targets to easily reselect them, however I dont think there should be a menu for it... sorta like T selects called target, but you dont see that persons bar until you actually taget them

Sorry Bunny but like it was said, no need to dumb down PvP and make it easier. Plus look at the effect this would have on TA or RA or HB where there are only 4 opponents.

They idea may not fit for a PvP playing character.
If you are having trouble targeting enemies, remember that you can click on their activation icons (like the circle that appears when they use a signet) or directly in their names.

The problem with icons is that no all skill have them, and enemies are not always activating something.
The problem with names is that they MOVE AROUND A FRIGGIN' WHOLE LOT when you hold Alt or Ctrl keys. So names should be frozen when Alt or Ctrl are hold.

But for PvE, for Observers or to keep track of spawned creatures it would be really great. I though of something similar myself some time ago.

You should be fighting foes, not GUI

with this in mind, signed

No worries Bunneh, no one thinks of TA, not even the Devs.

It's just a poor bastard child that gets abused.

Just like the Clevelnad Browns

On top of that, when people shadow step, target must be broken.

you mean that if you shadow step, you lose the target you already had? that's dumb if you're actually suggesting that.

No. I say that when you shadow step, those that are targeting you should lose their lock on you.

That's so obvious that... meh, forget it.

I like the logic behind the shadow step thing, but I don't think it's really a good idea for Guild Wars.

Similar to how you can hotkey allies 1-8 you should be able to hotkey enemies 1-8. Would make targeting a ton easier with out really dumbing down the game, only problem would be 3 way HA fights and AB.
