Yeah I suspect thats one of the reasons why the game needs a soft lock too tbh, physics based projectiles would be extremely hard to pull off well in a mmo, infact any projectile with a noticable travel time would be hard to pull off without some form of aim assist, glad they confirmed dodge/roll for pvp in the latest guardian interview tho, so at least you can get out of the way even with the soft lock

This is what paul sage had said about it:

 

 

What we can tell you right now is that the targeting system is very similar to what you experienced when you visited us for the preview event. Like in Skyrim, your attacks go where your reticle is aimed. So, while we don’t have traditional tab-targeting, we do have a system where if enemies are close together, you can tab to select the one you wish to hit. Think of this more as an aid to aiming, and this can be especially effective for ranged combat.

All targeting is ultimately based on where your reticle is aimed–when you have your reticle aimed at a monster (or group of monsters) you can lock onto a target and even cycle through a group to select the one you want to attack. In the case of monsters that are closely stacked on each other, the one you have ‘selected’ is the one your attacks will hit. If your reticle is clearly on one target but your target-aid is on another target, you will still hit the target your reticle is on. Also, you must be facing your target to hit them.

There’s a bit more to the targeting and aiming system than that (and we’ll go into more detail in the Ask Us Anything and upcoming combat-centric community content), but hopefully that gives you a general idea. As with anything in development, just keep in mind that this is subject to change.

Sounds allright I suppose, first I'd like to see it with my own eyes. They should release a video with gameplay demonstration. I hope its not consolized where the aim is aiding you too much.

Sounds like STOs version of aimed targeting,which is just ridiculously watered down and doesn't actually reward being a decent aim... It's just a targeting system.

Its not like sto at all as it isnt tab targeting

 

Its reticle targeting but with a soft lock (kinda like mass effect), you can use tab to sort through stacked targets but if you tab target someone and aim at someone who isnt stacked  by your tabbed target you will hit the person your reticle is on not the person tabbed, if you arent aiming at the person with your reticle you wont hit them regardless of tab

I didn't say it was like STOs tab targeting...  I said it was like STOs manual targeting, which is nearly exactly what you described.  So thanks.

That's not what ive read in videos, When Targeting is referenced its always like this.

"You can lock a target so its easy to hit in a group" - Which would imply that it negates splintering off and damaging the other mobs.

Maby if you read through the quotes in your post......

 

Here's the relevent bit:

"All targeting is ultimately based on where your reticle is aimed–when you have your reticle aimed at a monster (or group of monsters) you can lock onto a target and even cycle through a group to select the one you want to attack. In the case of monsters that are closely stacked on each other, the one you have ‘selected’ is the one your attacks will hit. If your reticle is clearly on one target but your target-aid is on another target, you will still hit the target your reticle is on. Also, you must be facing your target to hit them."

Sounds good to me.

The facing bit pretty much confirms that it's a target lock system and that actual aiming is irrelevant, which is actually worse than STOs manual aim.  If it was an actual aiming system you wouldn't need to clarify a facing clause.

He states that if you aim with your reticle but target someone else with tab you hit where your reticle is aimed at, thats a pretty clear description of an actual aiming system
