Blizzard are finally adding a key button to interract with the NPCs and objects instead with a mouse. Took them 10 years damn it. gw2 had this since 2012. I am soooo excited.
Having areas dismounting you is nice but this button fixes the problems i have with unclickable NPCs because they were crowded with huge characters.
Here is what is being added:
Press the Interact Key to interact with NPCs and objects with a keypress instead of your mouse.
Interactive NPCs and objects will highlight as you enter interact range. An icon will appear above NPCs.
The default Interact Key is F. If F is not working or is bound to something else, go to the Keybindings menu and make sure “Interact With Target” is bound to a key.
Enable this feature by typing “/console SoftTargetInteract 3” in chat. An interface option will be added later.
This is a great addition to the game. I current have a keybind for Interact but it will only interact with a Targeted NPC so I often use /tar Bob and then hit interact.
Will the new one replace this? Or will we have both types of interact?
Currently F will show you the target of your current target - can be useful for seeing who your pet is attacking or to target the same mob as your tank.
I think this is by default as I doubt I would have set this as a keybind.
Will this be moved to somewhere else or will I need to rebind that feature?
