    Display priority suggestion sent to SE

    When there are too many characters near the player, only a limited number (50?) are shown; only those can be targeted. It seems that currently the player's party has display priority, and enemies in Besieged. I would like to suggest that the player's whole alliance have display priority, then monsters in any zone (not just Besieged--Dragon's Aery in particular), then other players. In Besieged, I would also like friendly NPCs to be displayed before other random players; it is difficult to cure the Generals when I can't target them.
    Perhaps others would like to suggest this as well. https://secure.playonline.com/supportus/index.html

    Generals should have priority over party members, but that's just how I feel.

    What, don't like seeing Carbuncle and Courrie respawning everywhere you run?

    Honestly, I agree a good order would be : NPC > Mob > Your own pet > Party > Others

    Even the non-galka ones?

    Seriously though, I agree. Another option is that we should at least be able to imput the command such as /ta "General Najelith."

    I just wish SE made it user-configurable regarding display priority, then everyone'd be happy. Downside is likely due to the fact that would be implausible with the current mess of a network system SE has coded on their servers...

    On the other hand though, I recall SE ninja'd a priority display patch a few months back, having a pet-job in Besieged used to mean never see'ing your pet, now they always display when in range, not that it makes any difference anyway since the mobs won't quit freaking moving about.

    But yeah, Generals need a higher priority, not fun trying to get one to display when everyone is humping Mihli.

    I'd suggest:

    1) Mobs
    2) NPCs
    3) Party
    4) Your pets
    5) Alliance
    6) Everything else

    Even better, how about a filter order so you can specify it yourself.

    Now that you mention it I did actually see my avatars more last time Besieged wasn't at a ridiculous hour or ending right as I logged in.

    It was still ridiculous that once I found a general I had to keep him/her targetted or *poof* though.

    Yea, that would be great to have an option like that...... Dynamis/Kings camping would be a lot better when Mobs take priority over PCs.
