Targeting
The targeting system in this game is quite unique. It blends in elements of FPS(First person shooter), TPS(Third person shooter) and Focus Fire(RPG Target locking) together with specific advantages and disadvantages. Toggling through combat modes is a key aspect of this game. You cannot rely on a single mode at all times. This gives player a strategic decision to make on when to choose a particular kind of combat targeting mode.

The target system allows for the following:

• Target Locking mode: While you can aim and shoot by clicking your mouse button. You can focus all your fire on one player by pressing the C or Page Down key (Focus fire) to "lock" onto them. Once focus fire is enabled by pressing C or Page Down, all your weapon and physical attacks will be made against that player depending on your accuracy. You can disable target locking by clicking the targeting window on your HUD. Once Focus Fire is disabled, you can shoot or attack anyone in front of you and within your aiming reticle governed by your accuracy attribute which will be discussed later. Toggling focus fire OFF may come in handy when fighting multiple players at the same time where you need to switch quickly between targets or ON for picking out your target hiding within a bunch of enemies. Only weapon and physical attacks can be made when Focus Fire is turned OFF. To perform Mental Attacks your target must be locked.
• FPS mode: You can go under Mouse look mode by pressing 'M'. Doing this activates FPS mode. FPS mode allows for more accuracy and range with ballistic weapon based attacks but limits you on using mental or physical attacks or any healing abilities. This mode is affective in sniping and range weapon combat. Most effective in tactical and group battles where you are not taking direct enemy fire.
• Third person Mode (Toggle your mouse look by pressing M to go into this mode. All abilities(Evasive,Healing and Resting) and attacks (Weapon, Physical and Mental) are available under this mode. However weapon damage is slightly reduced. This mode is most affective in fast paced 'one-on-one' or close range fights when you have to constantly keep yourself healed and use evasive and mental abilities. This mode is the most commonly used combat targeting mode.

• Another way to find new lands is by inspecting player profiles and going under their "picks" option.
• You can also utilize our "Land Search" page to find lands owned by other players. However any unclaimed lands need to be discovered and claimed before it will appear in our database.
• There are several ways you can find new unclaimed territory its only a matter of time that you master them all and rule the game!
• Claim a few lands by using the stamps bonus provided to you as a sign on bonus.
• Learn how to manage the lands you own. Namely, adding of supplies, gathering, constructing structures etc.
• Familiarize yourself with factions and faction skills.
• Understand Lands, Siege Operations and Claiming.
• Invite other friends to join the game and practice combat.
• Don't hesitate to join global "grid events" are start your path towards being the ultimate player! Don't be scared to take on a global challenge from another player.
• Claim lands by force!

• Remember Land is power. It is your road to advancement. The more lands you conquer and hold on to. The more powerful you will become.
• With great power comes great responsibility, remember that while you can gain immense power by conquering new lands, that same power can be lost if you don't maintain and manage your lands. You have to make sure that your lands are strong enough to withstand an attack from another player or a group of players long enough for you and your army to fend them off. However, sometimes you are faced against a more powerful enemy and defending your land might not be such an easy task. For those times, search for new unclaimed land begins.
• Network lag. When teleporting into a new region, give yourself a couple of minutes of 'loading time'. Most regions load within 1-2 minutes so be patient.
• Courtesy, remember you have the power but a little courtesy goes a long way.
