Since this feature has gone live it has seemed that you get more warnings than you should. It just feels like you get message when you aren't in-fact being targeted, of course it's hard to say for certain.

Often I get the message and I think, yeah right, more like I'm targeting him.

Bug: Just played a match on River City Night conquest. There was one last Jenner remaining. I was heading towards Epsilon which is bottom right of the map, and was getting these warnings. I couldn't see the Jenner but at that point wasn't sure he couldn't see me. I stopped at Epsilon and at that point the Jenner turned up at Kappa (because other players on my team were approaching Kappa) which is at the top left of the map. Again, I got these warnings, but it doesn't seem very plausible that the last man standing Jenner was actually targeting me, at Epsilon.

I seem to get them when *I* target someone who is being originally targetted by another allied player.

So in this case targetting the enemy jenner because it's appearing on your allies radar first.

Ok, yesterday I was able to put something together it seem when someone on your team Locks on to the Enemy "C" Mech you get a Targeted warning. More testing needed but getting 16 players together to test it is hard.

But I think there are two possible things here from what I have seen.

1. Anytime anyone on your team locks on to the enemy mech tagged as “C” you get a Targeted warning

OR

2. If your Tagged as the “C” on your team and someone locks on to the “C” of the enemy Team you both get the warning. Which could also go with the “A” on your team = “A” on their team warning


This could be the bug we all getting about being told we are targeted.

I've had a really hard time testing this, but I too have been feeling like I am getting inaccurate targeted warnings; when I am in alcoves where every mech that should be able to target me would be next to me, like in cave on forest colony or the upper base tunnel river city.

I have received the message when no enemy had LOS to me. I believe now that this is bugged.

I get them when i am behind a rock, hunkered in a hole, or bugged out in a cave. They seem to be pretty random, or extremely delayed

Seems that whole "Warning, targeted"-thingy is going to be removed.

I would like to hear the warning only when a mech that I cannot see targets me. Other than that a flashing icon on screen (or one of the screens) would be good enough.
