Before people call me a whiny noob, let me state why I rely on auto target a lot.
I use only the arrow keys on my laptop for movement. Therefore, without AT, I have exactly 8 different directions to aim my sword. Not having AT makes using swords with small hitboxes difficult (and gunning is out of the question).
Problem: Auto-target switches itself off whenever I change loadouts or say something (every time i hit enter to type, it's gone). I have to constantly toggle it with the toggle button to switch it back on. This is annoying in PvE and even more so in PvP lockdown.
I would really appreciate it if the devs would fix this.
If anyone agrees, please offer your support.
I only use the keypad on my laptop, too! And AT has been doing the same thing to me ever since the sprite update. It's getting REALLY irritating. I haven't been able to figure out what it is that cause mine to turn off though, but it could be talking... So I never know if mine's on or off. I know that if I die, it turns off.
I really hope this bug gets fixed with the next update.
