Five months later and the targeting bug still is not fixed

There is no excuse for this bug to have lasted this long. I've had it happen 3x today, including a named. No one of my boxes targeted it except the tank and ten minutes later the named was at 99%.

What am I paying $90 a month for?

just to be clear, what do you expect to make them target the enemy?

what targeting bug are you refering to?

Good question, most of us pay $15 per account. So your paying for 6 accounts?

I think they're referring to the "you can't hit the mob" bug that was introduced with LS.

oh yea that REALLY sucks. Happens A TON on casters too for spells.

I had the bug where my toons were assisting another groups ma instead of mine yesterday in unkempt. Sigh

Pull a random mob and your tank can barely hit it. Others in the group either can't target it at all or they can barely hit it. Usually half the group can target and do a fraction of their DPS while the other half can't target it at all. The mobs eventually die after a VERY long fight but the damage shields do half the damage. Happens only in LS zones, Moors of Nokk being the worst.

It's been in the game since January.

Usually if the tank takes a few steps back it becomes hittable again (or if your using a merc tank move back a bit and toggle it to passive until it moves and is hittable)

If your hitting a mob for 10 minutes and not realizing your not doing any damage to it you can't entirely blame the easily solvable unhittable mob bug.

if that happens again do a /who you will find someone that has a name starting with "main" or whatever else you use in the /assist macro.

Yea its annoying. But I notice right away when it happens because Ive had a couple audio triggers for years that ping when Im not hitting because Im not in range or not in los. All you need to do is figure out how to get the mob to move. Even a few pixels is enough. When they move they figure out how to move to a spot that is valid.

It gets alot harder without a melee tank. If you have pets - they can hit it, but positioning gets harder iwth swarm pets on it.

It sounds like you might be using /assist main in your assist social? I moved to using the x-target window for assist targeting a while back and I find it to be much more reliable and a bit faster.

You wouldn't be playing on Rathe would you?
I had the same problem multiple times, but it is only when this one group is in zone. When they are in zone, my assist keys targets their mobs, even if they are on the other side of the zone. As soon as they leave, problem fixes. Tracked them down once to check out all their names to see if that was the reason, no duplicate names (including their pets). I got a "what do you want" tell from one of them, then a "F you" and they gated out.
I assume they were using something illegal to cause the bug based on that behavior....

Was xegony.

Weird. I didn't look but don't think it was cause someone was named "main" either. Hilariously, I have noticed the people that I end up assisting in the past were definitely cheaters. Might have something to do with it.

I have noticed the bug happens sometimes after you were in a raid format, which was the case for me.

I use /assist group on my hotkey. I haven't had any issues targetting the wrong mob with that.

It was in the game since LS launched. It was far far worse. They already put out one fix for it, which resolved the majority of the issues. Today was actually the first time I ran into it again since they put out the original patch for it.

When mobs are not able to be targeted due to some issue with the geometry. I've seen it three times the last couple of days doing Hunter.

You can always target thru the extended target window. Just cant hit them.

/Xtarget and assign slot Group Assist 1 Target (and Raid Assist 1 Target) are infinitely better options than using the /assist command for the garden variety case of "I want to follow the group/raid MA target."
