Climbing triggers Target Lock

Game mode: [Online official]
Type of issue: [Bug]
Server type: [PvE]
Region: [EU]


Whenever my character attempts to climb while there is a neutral player character, or his pet, or his thrall, or an animal nearby, my target lock engages and screws with my camera.
The same happens whenever I use an emote, pull out my repair hammer or equip a weapon.


  1. Play on a PvE server in 1st person camera.
  2. Have Allow 3rd Person Camera enabled.
  3. Perform an emote, climb or equip a weapon in the vicinity of a player, animal or thrall.
  4. Become disoriented because of unwelcome Target Lock.

Hello @timrath, thank you for your submission!

We’ve forwarded this information to the developers so that they can look into this behavior.

After a long discussion in the general forums (link posted bellow), we have discovered that any action that switches your camera mode between 1st person and 3rd person forces a target lock even if you have target lock turned off. Please fix. It is driving people crazy.
