Improve Targeting System – Add Functional Tab Targeting for Mobile and PC

[tacit parrot]

Hi Flyff Universe,

I’d like to suggest an improvement that would greatly enhance the gameplay experience, especially for mobile players:
Please implement a proper tab-targeting system or improve the existing auto-target button so it can reliably select nearby enemies without requiring close proximity.

📱Mobile-specific issue:
Currently, the auto-target button on mobile only works when you’re extremely close to a monster – often nearly touching it. This creates a frustrating experience because:

You have to tap each mob manually, which is hard on smaller screens.
It’s easy to misclick or miss mobs entirely, especially in crowded areas.
It's inefficient for AOE classes that need to quickly grab multiple enemies.
The current auto-target is nearly unusable in real combat situations.

💻Even PC players struggle:
While the issue is worse on mobile, PC players also lack a true “tab to target next enemy” option, making combat feel clunky and outdated in high-action zones.

🤖About potential bot abuse:
A possible concern might be botting. But:

Bots already bypass current systems using external tools.
Improving the targeting system would help real players far more than it would enable bots.
You could include limitations like line-of-sight, range caps, or require being in combat mode to minimize abuse.
Other MMOs have had success offering tab-targeting while still managing bot risks.

✅ Potential implementation ideas:
A “next target” button (on mobile and PC) that selects the closest valid monster.
Optional setting: “Enable smart targeting” or “Increase auto-target range.”
Allow target cycling via keybind or onscreen button.

🙏Final thoughts:
This isn’t about automating gameplay – it’s about making Flyff more playable and accessible, especially for those on mobile. A smoother targeting system would be a massive quality-of-life improvement without affecting game balance.

Thank you for all the work you're doing on Flyff Universe – I hope this suggestion will be considered.

I would love that ability inside dungeons/for the boss monster tbh

Every time a tab target suggestion come up you see the same people crying about it. They enjoyment of being a masochist is crazy. Always blaming the bot issue. Who the F cares about them. If they use it eventually they will get caught. Stop crying about the bots no one cares about them. Let the players enjoy the get game with more accessibility.

So you don't care about the massive inflation that will happen?
With a simple script people can use shop scrolls to sell their stuff...
Also actual automated bots could hide more easily between these who using auto target.

Then at some point nearly everyone need to afk farm to be able to buy anything in that inflation hell.
Unless devs introduce a ton of penya burn mechanics which is unlikely to happen.
In many games you need to do a lot of clicks, why should this game be an exception?
No one forces you to grind for hours every day.

Also i don't want to go to someone and talking to a wall because he is afk/half afk and not responding most of the time.

tbf bots now a days are way smarter already. adding a tab targeting feat in game will not affect them cuz they are already past that feat already. and from your discord name [Holding keys finally] did you know that that feat, when was suggested it was also frown upon by alot of player cuz it promoted heal botting, easier spamming skill of bots. but yet they still approve it somehow and people embrace it

[spiral dune]

True. These things doesn't effect bots directly, especially holding keys doesn't effect them at all.
If bots can hide between an armee of auto target afk farmer, then you have also way more bots quickly.
And the many problems like game feeling empty and inflation.

not a single thing in the post said anything about afk farm/automated farm like ragnarok tho, just tabbing like in siege. Tab-> target close mob -> press attack key. also, you said this doesnt affect botd at all. Then why not implement it to improve QOL of real players. If it wont affect current bot problem?

[spiral dune]

It will lead to people abuse it to afk farm because it would make it way to easy.
With that feature, everyone who does a few minutes of googling can automate the process of killing monster.
And also automate selling with shop scrolls.
This will likely sprial down into more people getting confident afk farming which opens the opportunity for bots to come back,
because they can easier hide between the people who use the autoattack feature.
Which lead to more inflation which lead to more people feel they have to rely on rmt to get money which again increses more bot farming.
Unfortunately this is simply the reality of what is very likely to happen.

I said holding keys down ability doesn't effect bots at all.
The auto attack next monster thing does effect them indirectly as explained above.

[coarse vortex]

why are we basing the updates base on what can botters "probably" do with a featurr whcih will surely improve QoL of life of real players, also, tabbing mechanic can be easily made with AHk script.

PS: Botters wont comeback, they never left.

PS2: You said true to pokwongs comment, when he basically disagree and disprove your point.

PS3: Holding keys can be benificial back then for "botting"/ Macro as well. But here we are, with your name.

[spiral dune]

looks like we keep seeing this differently.
i would like to not waste more of my time here and leave that discussing.

have a nice day

I dont really get why people always link it to botting. Are they not up to date what bots can do? They are already that advance doing aoe griding, giant hunting, auto questing and etc. but still people still see this tab target a threat. Again its the most basic thing a bot is doing, auto targeting which the mofos already doing smoothly.

Me personally, dont care if it goes thru or what. If yes then good foe those in need of it, if not too bad for them.

P.S. auto holding keys made auto healer abusers happy. Because of that auto follow healing progarams was less buggy now since it doesnt need to do a constant multiple input anymore. So yeah holding keys feat “doesnt” affects bots at all

people would rather feel like theyre doing something against the small number of people by rejecting tab target than improve qol for the majority of the playerbase
