Giant Shivan Tab Select


Caulderone

 

Posted

In the tutorial, no matter what AT I play, I cannot tab select the giant shivan when it emerges. I can get it in my targeting reticule using the mouse only.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Do not ever give Mind Control a pet. We need more control sets without pets.
My characters are not "toons". They are all project characters, though.

Yes, this is normal behavior for that pseudo-GM. Not sure why, but it is.

Strange. I wonder if it's a bug, or just meant to be.

if i feel like fighting it i just click on the yellow bar in the zone event interface that pops up

if i dont feel like fighting it i just sit around until it sends you to the camp (i believe it automatically sends you away after 5 min, thats what the zone event box is showing, which the bar is a timer)

Considering that one of the few things the new tutorial does teach is that enemies can be targeted with tab, it seems like it'll frustrate new players by having it end with a fight against something that can't be targeted with tab.

Additionally, you can't target other players that are near it. Hovering over them will target the giant shivan. If you don't team up with them then you can't buff them.

I suspect that its hitbox is larger than the screen, and thus "out of range" of tab (as well as overlapping players who go near it). But that's just guesswork on my part.

Just fyi, you can click it's health bar in the event window to target it. Enemies that show the health bar in the event window all allow click-targetting(Like Trial AVs).
