cant target shrinked people

[icemini]

Am i the only haveing problems targeting shrinked people ? My target next pvp button and tab doesnt work unless they are right next to me, targeting them with mouse is near to impossible too. Fea which are shrinked and in their travell form i cant even target when they are right next to me. This shrink stuff is so [I cannot control my vocabulary] annoying, take it out of the [I cannot control my vocabulary] game or fix targeting!

I agree, something needs to be changed here. People like Wendies are insanely hard to target.

[Dh]

I have no problem targeting people at all. The size of the player model has no effect on tab targeting.

I had someone on track a few days ago near PoA. I move over on the platform and get to the front of the Palace and I can't find him anywhere. I know who he is (welcome to venekor) so I know he can't be perched around somewhere. Suddenly I'm under attack and 50% of my health is gone in a second. He's a snake, shrunk, and I couldn't target him until he was attacking me. I couldn't even <i>see</i> him until he was attacking me. It's another example of a fun thing being added that ends up being extremely powerful and unbalancing in PvP. Just like the gnomish spring boots.

<p>See Taear on track, type: /tar tae</p><p>Wallah! Targetting problem fixed! Then click their name, click track, open your map and you can even see roughly where they are. Open track again and start heading that way.</p>

[icemini]

And what about people without track ? I see the shrinked people a good way away, but i cant target them in any way until they are 10 meters or closer (the fea travel form i have to be like 2 meter away from them, and even then target nextpvp and tab arent working). I tried different screen resolutions and its not helping. To see someone shrinked should be made optional imo.

shrinking needs to be removed from PVP

[Xunen]

Just remove shrinking from PvP servers, or even, remove it from the game. I don't see any PvE relevant advantage you could take from being shrinked. If you are in need to be a little bit smaller for some tankings situations, just use the Petrified Eyes.

why not have size-changes suspend during pvp combat?

[Dh]

I run around without track and have no problem targeting people. Just spam your tab button and stop asking for nerfs that don't even affect gameplay. Shrinking has already been nerfed so you can't get as small as that screenshot.  One of the shrink items was very difficult to obtain and many people would be P.O. if they removed them from the game.
