Thread: Calling targets

One thing I think a squad leader should be able to do that is very difficult with the current skills and system is to effectively call targets. Sure you can use /sys but if you are fighting multiples of the same thing it doesn't help much. "attack the graul mauler" doesnt mean much if there are 3 of them there.


I would like to see a skill that makes this easier. A visual que is what is needed. Something a long the lines of changing the targets text name to a different color like red would be sweet. Everyone in your group would see the red name and could pick it out of the pack very easily by just cycling through targets.

This suggestion has been made several times, putting in an ability like /painttarget and having an arrow follow the target around till its demise, or your designate a new target. All in all, still a good idea. We'll have to see what Thulium says though

This is definately on the list. Although it's not really my absolute favorite idea, as we can make up for a lack of this ability by teaching our squadmates how to use /assist...I suspect it's one of the less 'ambitious' requests we have for the developers, and it would be awfully nice to have so I think we have a good shot at getting something like this.


Unless I get some sort of direct "No" from a dev, I think the question is not if we'll get this but when. ...and I can't think of any reason for them to say "no", to be honest.
