Targeting Issues and Nameplate Clutter
When I pvp I always keep nameplates on so I can see who is the weakest to focus on as well as see who is casting for interrupting. It’s a crucial part of the game, especially in the arena. I also use tab targeting over clicking because clicking isn’t always easy (esp if there is lag and the dude is particularly sparky) as well as to use my mouse to move around. Is there away to ONLY display player nameplates and/or allow tab targeting of REAL PLAYERS and not those of pets, vipers, tree things, and other totally useless (to me) critters I care not to see or attack? Nothing is worse than running over a hunters retarded viper nest thing and my whole screen fills up with completely useless nameplates and the hunters nameplate totally gets lost in the volume. It’s actually very annoying and I’m sure this wasn’t intended by the game developers.
To further my point, nothing is more maddening than chasing down a player, hitting tab, and automatically targeting the stupid pet because it is usually closest to you. You hit tab again and now you targeted the a druids tree minions. So you go analog and try clicking the assumed target and WHOOPS… 500 vipers are all over the place and now its impossible to click anything but a snake. Come on, it shouldn’t be so hard to simply target someone!
I know this is happening to other players. Ever since the expansion, almost every class (even my class) has a pet or a minion or something. There are more junk NPCs running around in a battle then they are actual players. They do have their purposes, hell I love my fire elementals, but I’m sure one of their ***intended*** purposes is not to make it difficult to target their owners and/or other REAL players running around.
So is there away to only see nameplates and tab target those who are only real players?
Thank You.
