PTR is not the live game though, so it will remain broken until they patch it in. Who knows if it will even work properly when they do though.
Just let us tab-target between enemies who are IN COMBAT with us.
Make it an option or even make it the default, but only the targets we are in combat with matter.
omg i know right, its so annoying and has been so for quite a while now
because before it was a buggy mess of what some people want and what others dident
also you could have just looked at the website youve been on, or multiple people in this thread who have stated thats exactly how it works come 7.2
and wow you are some jaded child if that is really your outlook on the game, just quit if you hate it that much
its not healthy to play something you despise
- - - Updated - - -
it was broken in late wrath and cata too, aswell as in vanilla
#1 it's not and never was a bug to be fixed
#2 if you want to use the old tab targeting you can easily do it, look it up
Fel? Fuck right off please. You've always been annoying as hell and no, no one here actually DID say it was going to work precisely that way. People were merely saying it was 'fixed' in 7.2 which could mean almost anything.
We KNOW it was a buggy mess. But the rules I outlined are intuitively obvious to anyone who plays - theres no excuse for it ever working differently.
Welcome to the ignore list. God, this will improve my MMO-C experience - no more of your righteous semi-informed drivel.

ah you are correct, it was not in this thread where i saw like the first post being "this is how it will work" (there is alot about broken tab targeting)
and incorrect on the "ever working differently"
heres some examples
A. above you somone says "i want it to go to targets who are casting instead of those closest to me, that way i dont need to spam tab to get an interupt out"
B. other people have asked for enemies with the lowest health pools, this way you can easily switch to a low health target
C. others have stated they even want mobs, not in combat, as this will make tanks pulling multiple packs, and farming old content annoying, as you cant tab target to pull tons of stuff
3 examples i can see, and agree with, of why people would want to have a different system
and sorry you got so mad, over a game you hate, by developers you dont give a fuck about...
Agreed. I guess that I had somehow adapted or compensated for the behaviour that other players are reporting "ever since Wrath" - I had my first issues with tab-targeting when the Legion 7.0 prepatch launched. Up until then, it had always been a predictable and consistent feature as far as I can recall.
Nice, I never knew this forum had an ignore feature! Thanks for the heads up, I'm going to check that out right now.
It's been unreliable since Vanilla, just varying degrees of awful throughout the expansions. I remember even in Molten Core I had got used to hitting esc first and then bound target nearest to v so in one quick scoop of my hand I could clear my target and select the one actually closest to me, and not some random mob not anywhere by me. I've complained about it ever since.
Even the worst of all the failed MMO's have better tab targeting then WoW.
Happy to see them finally understand the situation after 13 years, I'm so impressed.

Holding tab allows you to see your next tab target. When releasing tab, you retarget your previous target.
It's somewhat an improvement to dot classes I suppose but a complete fuck-up in all other areas because that internal trigger/countdown is what's likely fucking it up.
In other words, yes the new feature screwed it, which is usual practice on how to fuck stuff up in the tech industry.
Neither am I. And no, it's not working. First hand experience on the subject. But by all means, come back and say how it's miraculously working for you (even though it isn't and won't, because it doesn't). But hey, if you go and lie, maybe Blizzard'll see it and beg you to come join their development team for your loyalty! That's the only reason I can imagine people like you lying about shit like that, anyway.
