Multiboxing friendly patch in 2.7?

Quick Ground Target Activation - When active, pressing a hotkey that belongs to a GTAoE twice should cast the ability at the feet of the Player's target. Example: Player has the Pass the Huttball ability saved to Hotkey #3. Player targets an ally and then presses 3 two times. The Huttball Pass should be activated at the feet of the targeted ally. If this option is turned off, then there should be no changes to the existing behavior.

From the 2.7 patch notes that are on the public test server now. Multiboxing just got a lot easier.

OMG! This would be awesome.

I used to play PTS, and I may have to go check this out.

Just a FYI: I played on the PTS to test this out briefly and so far it works pretty well. The only problem I really encountered was that sometimes focusing on one target as the center isn't as efficient as being able to place the AOE for maximum damage.

This is going live tomorrow and it is the first I had heard of it. I nearly wept with joy.

Yep. I stopped leveling my gunslinger and trooper a week ago just to wait for this patch. Fingers crossed.

Yay! Just used Quick Ground Target Activation in game with the new patch 2.7. Now I can use Mortar Volley with my 4 man Commando Team. By default, after the patch was installed, the option (Quick Ground Target Activation) was already activated. Just had to change My key map, hotkey, step execution for Mortar Volley, from (released) to (pressed or released). Now I target an enemy on my main, Press the Mortar Volley hotkey, and all 3 Mortar Volleys land right on the enemy's feet. Mwaaaaaa haaaa haaaaa! :lol:

No need to steer the AOE ground target reticle any more YAY! :P
