Crosshairs in AoC?

in Ashes Of Creation General Discussion
Being a fps veteran, I am wondering whether AoC will have crosshairs for the mage and ranger classes. Does anyone know whether or not this game will have crosshairs?

    Well they did say it was gonna be a hybrid system of tab target and directional casting/swinging/shooting.Id imagine with tab target you'll get some type of highlight..not for sure about cross hairs specifically.

    We might see it in some form but I dont many of the mechanics will revolve around a crosshair.

    In the game Guild Wars 2 there is the hybrid system, which is something that they could be going for in this game. One thing GW2 doesn't have is a crosshair. I wouldn't mind if there was an option to cast AoE abilities upon a crosshair. Hybrid or not, that wouldn't be a bad thing to allow. I also wouldn't mind if there was an option to use leap/charge abilities to leap towards a crosshair. You can untarget players in GW2 to turn any ability into a directional based ability, so you can spray people with things like the elixir gun by rotating your camera if you have no target. A crosshair could be nice for that. I also occasionally like to shoot a cake cannon at the ceiling in GW2, but there is no crosshair to know where the cake is exactly going to land.

    However, if there ever is to be a crosshair, it needs to be an optional crosshair. A lot of players like to ground target using a mouse cursor.

    This also begs the question about friendly fire. Will non tab target spells affect other players?
