T no longer attacks a called target for me and a few fellow players but works for others? Anyone shed any light on this?

Cheers!

"T" targets but you have to press "space bar" to attack.

umm, as far as i remember, someone would call target and then you would hit "T" and it would become your target, then hitting space bar activated the attack...was this not always the way? I don't ever remember it being different.

So many complains for a simple key move, So sad. Designate the Key to T and press space bar or w/e skill you want to use. Is it that hard?

No it is not that hard, but it is annoying and there was no need to change it anyway. I'm often scouting around with CTRL + ALT and the new way of targetting often makes me call the target again - to quite some confusion. So now i've to stop doing that, which makes the Battlefield control a lot harder.

I think it was a good change. Press T to select called target and press space to attack.

I think this way is better, for example when you don't need to fisically attack target. Example: while having a mesmer/w with sword equipped but you don't want to go in melee range, press T and cast your spells whithout making your character rushing in combat. Press space and he will do it.

I think is good i like it

I must agree that I don't like it. If anything, make another key binding to simply select priority target. And leave attack prority target the same, as a separate function. Hey, there are plenty of buttons on a keyboard, enough for growth. Whenever I see a Microsoft-style "fix what isn't broken" change, I cringe.

I'm not sure about what I'm saying, but I think they have decreased the time a call is still "active". As a mesmer, I am often on a different target than the one that is called (shutdown).

Before the patch, when someone called a target, I usually had time to shutdown my target with 2-3 spells, then press T and the target would change for the one that was called earlier.

After the patch, I often find myself not switching to the called target when pressing T after the same amount of time as before the patch. If I ask to call again, then press T immediately, it works.

Am I the only one that has noticed this?
