Guild Wars 2

I think that we need to do something about this as well. I’d really like to make my curser an obnoxious green so I can find it. I think if there was a way to snap it to the center this would help.

Yes that too would be useful (re-centering the mouse)

A pulsing or bright animating graphic for the mouse (as an option) would be useful. I’ve lost my mouse cursor many times as it is not that different from the background color a lot of the time

Bump. I’m at the point where I’m going to need to turn Fast Cast Ground Target off.

The forum route does not seem to be working! Twitter does not work, reporting it as bug does not work! Seems the lovely people at arena.net are not interested is this small but vital fix

If they are so dead set about not fixing this I wish they would open it up to customized mods like Skyrim, true they don’t always work but the ones that do work are phenomenal and add to game play!

This is so frustrating along with the whole rubbish auto-targeting!!!

+1

I don’t understand why the mouse pointer has to disappear while turning, or why right click (to turn) also selects new targets, or why all the windows have the same colour/shade background and overlay each other so you inevitably close the wrong one.

Seems to me that the interface was designed by half a dozen different people, none of whom bothered to attend the team meetings, so they all went off and did their own thing.

+1

I’ve turned on auto casting to win that 1sec of placing the aoe circle. But yup I agree with this topic, sometimes (on vital moment) I miss my mouse button. :-/

Can more people keep bumping this thread up as it’s something which has been requested right from beta!

Main points:
Larger/more obvious pointer during battles
Pointer disappears when turning
New enemy selected when you turn
‘Next enemy’ command selects non-aggressive npcs creating mobs where none need to be

add you own to the list and maybe someone might listen

I don’t understand ….. why right click (to turn) also selects new targets

There is an option now to disable it.

And to the Original Post.

Yes more visible mouse pointer is needed asap!

We need more voice!

I can surely bumb this somedays. We may try to do this thread as a main thread of this More visual mouse pointer thing.

“We dont need situations, when fast action is needed, and you have lost your mouse cursor and you just blind attack, wrong direction usually.”

If the cursor stuck in the place where it disappeared when right click was held down it would be infinitely easier to keep track of it. That’s always where I lose it.

If that’s not possible though, I really like the idea of being able to change the cursor. Maybe to something bigger, or something with a different shape/bold outline.

Bumb. Most important asap fix in the game!

bloodyyel

BUMP, +1 and everything else

I opened another thread regarding the same topic, don’t want to hijack this but I’m using it just to reinforce the statement!

MAKE THE MOUSE POINTER MORE VISIBLE and/or CUSTOMIZABLE!

I don’t care about non combat mouse pointer, sure it’s annoying but during battle it does my head in – PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

CROSSHAIRS IN BATTLE !!!!

+1

I was just telling my husband this once culling was turned off. Unless I’m calling up an AOE and have a huge green circle around my cursor, it’s just lost somewhere in a sea of zerg and mobs.

As said. Asap fix. As said. Controls are most important thing in gameplay. Im repeating myself. This is needed. This is bumb. Many situations have been ruined because of this issue since last bumb.

Because nothing says, ‘Oh, this is fun’ like stopping in the middle of a fight to wave the cursor around on the screen so you can find it again.

I thought it was just me.
Case of the missing mouse pointer solved!

This is still an issue. Priority one. Most first asap fixes in the game.

Yes, please, both my wife and I have suffered with this. Such an easy fix that could help so many players…

Yes this is a problem. Also it is hard to tell if you are actually doing damage. It would be nice if there was a line above the map that had numbers of damage and damage given. Always in the same place. You can keep it as it is most of the time it’s fine but sometimes a second place to check would be nice.

I agree a more visual mouse pointer would improve situational awareness. Make it bright green, large, and blink on target recognition until lock, when it turns red and changes shape from a cross to a round reticle. So many MMO don’t know cute kittens from HMI GW2 is refreshing.

Idk – just a perspective from mil-aero.

This is still an issue. This is same kind as right click targeting was. This is asap fix.

Its so wrong that these kind of things are in Guild Wars 2 a year after

YES! I am always losing track of the location of my mouse pointer. It is so frustrating. There are times when my character is just standing there getting beat on while I try to find my pointer.

As much as I think this needs to be changed, I have previously bumped it was a plus +1. Now a comment. I don’t foresee this QoL change, no matter how much we need it.

Yes please. I lose track of the mouse way too easily which has lead to my death a number of times in PvP. Another thing that might help is to have some sort of indicator where the cursor is currently at while you’re holding down the right mouse button.

Nah. Just give me kitten crosshair and mouse lock. Would solve about 90% of lost pointer in big battles.

Oops, I found this topic after making mine

Looks like there is no way

I’ve suffered from this for ages and constantly have to wave my mouse clutching hand around for a few seconds until I can find it again. There’s enough monster skills that take control away from me for a few seconds without having to suffer it with finding my cursor too. Also, Locust Swarm = Nightmare.

I agree, i love using fast casting but with the actual pointer i always have to pray that faint cursor shadow i saw in the middle of enemy group is my pointer
(and sometimes my marks appear in the middle of nowhere -.-")

Well. Heres a video. I lost (10001001 time) mouse cursor, and this is what happened.

I have no idea why these kind of issues are still in game.

Clearly, players being able to interact with the game is not on the priority list.

Bump.

I have this same problem, a fix would be appreciated.
