targeting problem

[rumblebelly]

when i target an enemy i start the attack but as soon as i start to move with the enemy i automaticly stop attacking the chat window say\'s you stop attacking.  then i have to retarget but by then i am usually close to or dead. so i can\'t even chase after the enemy to fight him this make\'s very difficult if not imposible to get anywhere with exp and pps. please tell me if i am doing something wrong or is this a bug ?(

i also have the problem of when i start an attack i hit the critter once and if there is someone else who start\'s to attack after me my char stop\'s and the chat window tell\'s me i have to be in that person\'s group it doesn\'t matter if that person has been there awhile or if he just showed up

try not to use theright click - select attack method

there is a button in your shortcuts on the left that says attack. Select the attackee and then click on attack - then use the arrow keys and move around.  I dont often lose selection if I do it this way.

i allway\'s use the short key\'s so that\'s not the problem but thank\'s for the input.
evrytime i get a couple of feet away from th enemy i just auto stop attacking ?
when i first started playing i would  get the messege  \"you are too far away to attack\"  as soon as i got close i would attack again but now i just stop. i have assigned shortcut key\'s to try and improve my reaction time but it just doesn\'t work. it\'s quite frustrating and i think i will just wait untill the data wipe see if enything changes and  stick to roleplaying for now

This behaviour has recently changed. When you go to far the attack immediatelly aborts and you have to resume again. You don\'t have to target again though (unless you clicked somewhere on screen so the target is clear) so you can just click on the \'attack\' button. If you want it even quicker then you can assign a key to the /attack command in the options window. Then you just click on the enemy and press that key.
