Cycle target has very low range

Is there a way to target beyond cycle target as the range seems very low to the point i end up just having to click on them which is not idle.

Have you tried 'trarget next enemy'?

There are different options if you go to keybindings and check the targeting tab. You can cycle nearest or next allie or foe, but they all kind of suck even clicking kind of sucks.

He means that enemies outside of around 65ft (i made up that number ) can not be targeted using the target system

Yeah the range of the target seems to be less than 100 feet which is the standard range of an engineer, i was just wondering if there was an addon or another option to increase the range because its feels around 56 meters.

There is not, and I don't see us expanding the range further. Everything in your tab target range is tracked by the server for each person every time you hit tab. In huge RvR fights that could mean hundreds of objects per person. Expanding that another 30% would mean exponentially more things tracked.

Also, you're already ranged. Do you really need more help?

Well i only asked because i noticed that range seemed to be quite low but if it is down to causing performance issues that makes sense, ok yeah i get what you are saying but trying to click on a small gobo running at their super speeds is actually quite difficult.

Think its 100 feet as i remember not being able to tab target people with 110 feet on SW while 100 feet in Assault Stance worked fine.

Hey! The way that I've got my targeting set up is that I have Tab as the basic targeting, Shift+Tab is closest Enemy, Mouse Button 4 is cycle next enemy and Mouse button 5 is cycle next ally :)
