Guild Wars 2

+1 to this option.

Wow… four months and still nothing. Thank GOD I only start re-playing GW2 a couple of weeks ago…

Already started feeling that I reach the edge with the current issues: lack of FoV slider, mouse smoothing, low FPS and the complete bollocks use of right-click mouse button.

Another patch, still not addressed.

Please, for the love of all the gods of Tyria, implement a toggle option to disable right click targeting!

This “bug” needs to be squashed ASAP because it negatively affects (see previous posts, supra) every single aspect of the game; leading to what should have been a fun gaming experience to a frustrating one.

Gaile Gray.6028:

Our development team reviews play input on a regular basis. They are aware of this suggestion, but have not yet reached a decision on what changes, if any, they will make to targeting.

There is a lot going on right now with the upcoming event, but after that, the team will take a look at a lot of different game elements, and may make some changes in the future.

Sorry I don’t have more specific information, but you can be sure this is not being ignored or rejected without due consideration.

Thanks for understanding.

Gaile, if you are following this thread at all can you please give us some indication as to whether or not this issue is at least understood to be problematic by the game developers?

This is a serious problem for many, many players and not just those who are vocal about it on the forums. It’s been months now and we have not heard a single thing from the developer’s perspective despite over 200 posts on this thread alone (there are several other threads regarding this same issue).

As far as we know right now, this may not even be considered as an issue at all by the developers. Please can you give us something a bit more substantial than your initial 3 month old post?

And not only for those vocal about it.

There’s many people who does not notice this is happening to them.

I cant coun’t how many times something like this happens at the start of AC story:
Me> “Careful with right click, you may open coffins when moving the camera.”
Some other player> “Aaaaah! So that was it! I though they opened at random!”.

adding my two cents’ worth!!! please can we has please please please?

…fix this plz…

+1 on that. This is an extremely annoying bug.

This problem annoys me more and more by the time -.-’

• I’m trying to catch up an event, but my GS ranger autoaims something backwards that I didn’t even had on my screen. I’m talking about 10k ranges.
• Shooting an enemy in front of me, then it automatically shoots up a champion that I didn’t meant to lure in yet. Party death, how good is that!

I’d like to see this brought in too, +1

I’d like to register my +1.

This is affecting me because I use both mouse buttons to move around and I’m frequently losing my targets.

Also, this would not be a friendly experience for customers with twitchy fingers (essential tremors and other nerve conditions). Think about this for a second. If your fingers twitch and/or you don’t have complete motor control of your fingers, this bug makes the game unplayable. It’s okay to move the camera a bit when you didn’t intend to, or to accidentally double-tap an attack key when you’re in combat; you’re still in the fight. It is NOT okay though to lose your target. That’s debilitating.

I wouldn’t hold your breath while waiting/hoping for a response……

This issue is close to being a game breaker and we haven’t had a response worth d1ck in over 5 months!

Is this customer service to be proud of?

Unfortunately, in a lot of situations the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If we all bump this daily, eventually we will get a response.

Hi Chovel,

Generally speaking I’d agree with your ‘squeaky wheel’ analogy but after 5 months of bumping this thread, posting in other threads about the same issue and linking back to this one and even posting in unrelated threads (e.g. dueling) to suggest that more fundamental issues (this issue) should be the priority for ANet, I am beginning to lose all hope of a fix!

There are a few other guys who have posted repeatedly about this issue too (Patu, Mithran etc. You know who you are!) and yet 5 months + have gone by. In another couple of weeks it will be half a year that this massive problem has been ignored by the devs!!

Hm, not sure how closely these forums are moderated or browsed by the ANet team, but maybe there’s someone else I should be addressing this to. Maybe it’s time to escalate to tier 2 support!

There is an ingame bug reporting tool. I would think the user inteface issues would be a top priority to fix.

This really is the number one problem in the game. But if it is finally addressed, targeting as a whole also needs to be fixed. The right click deselect is annoying, but targeting as a whole has been broken since release.

I never noticed how serious of an issue this is until I read this thread. I always wondered why occasionally I’d de-target but have never clicked anything. It’s definitely frequent and very frustrating. Love to see this fixed.

lol 4 months and this issue still hasn’t been resolved. Maybe I should just take a break for a year and then come back when all issues have been fixed. This bug is so annoying.

Hi RoShamBo. Yes, we all have done very important job, all posters in this thread and others.

We have many kinds of examples, we have videos, we have a big list of happenings because of this issue. Many hours spent with this issue.

We have done very much job because of this issue. This needs to be fixed asap.

Faux Play.6104:

That’s an idea. Maybe we should all report it as a bug ingame since doing so here seems to be a complete waste of time…and effort.

This appears as such a easy feature to add…

• Option Sticky Targeting, no target drop on clicks onto the botany
• Option Targeting with: left/right mouse button

Hey ANet, I hereby promise I’ll buy a ton of gems once it’s in the game! ^.^ (also shamelessly pushing the thread up)

+1 to this! This should be such a minor change to the game. And it’s so freakishly annoying. Every time there is a crowd and I turn my camera, I accidentally select another target…

I think to get some more attention to this fix, we should be tweeting to Guild Wars consistently to get some kind of response. Usually being that vocal tends to get the wheels in motion.

I’ve already tweeted about it once.

Bumped for great justice!

For the love of Balthazar make it happen Anet!

Tweeted to Guild Wars again, I’m getting very involved in this fix now

I don’t do any form of ‘social networking’ online.

Anyhoo, let’s hope the response to ‘a tweet’ is not ‘a twaat’!

(had to double up the ‘a’ there due to that kitten kitten thing)

I believe this has caused the majority of the stress and playtime lost from trying to figure out wtf is wrong with my controls.

If right click did not target, I believe that the thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Mouse-losing-focus-right-click-to-turn-not-working-Merged/first would not exist.

haha fair enough. I’m going to try to rally up some communication through their Facebook page & twitter. Maybe enough player response right at them will get this option brought in.

I think we should send links to everyone that is activly seeking parties in GWLFG to this thread. Kill two birds with one stone.

If this is not fixed today i will laugh. Four months later and such a minor but very annoying thing is still in the game lol

Looks like the game is going free-to-play soon, with some paid-for DLC to keep us happy.

Citation Needed? Where did you read this?

Hasn’t it always been ‘free to play’ once you’ve bought the game?

As an aside, I’ve received warnings from the mods for bumping 10 other threads regarding this right mouse button issue. I suppose the upside is that we can at least rest assured that someone from ANet is reading these forums even if it’s no guarantee that the details get passed on to someone who can do something about it.

Here’s my response from emailing tech support… (https://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/ask/)

“Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. Unfortunately we are not ArenaNet, and thus cannot address the issues you have linked. The suggestion forum is the best place to get a response directly from ArenaNet about specific issues with the game.

RoShamBo has apparently gotten the mods to see the thread, but that really means nothing until we get a response. I’ll believe it when I see it. So frustrating.

Lol that’s funny, What’s not funny is this dumb right click fix it!

Also what’s not funny is the lack of coordination between customer service and tech support. Who’s running this show anyway?

I just came across this thread (and the dev response), and all I can say is…lol.

Most of the time, I play with a 360 controller using XPadder, so this issue doesn’t effect me much. But sometimes when I’m playing a ranged build, or anything with a large amount of ground targeting, I switch to keyboard and mouse. Once I do, I got back to the 360 controller in about 15 minutes, because I remember just how laughably bad the right-click targetting is.

I can’t believe this has been a known issue for 4 months and the devs are still twiddling their thumbs about it. How the hell do you brush off a bug with such a basic feature?

they are more worried about adding a trading post preview,
We can go to a website to see the preview! we can’t go to a website to fix the right click!.
this topic alone is 5 months old

another patch full of cool new stuff but not the one and only thing i want… sigh

7663 views and only 240 replies and many of the posters in this thread have posted several times (like me!).

Guys, if you read this thread and you know that your game experience or performance is being impacted by this issue (basically anyone who uses the mouse to move and right mouse to pan the camera) then add your voice to the chorus of complaints by posting here. As Choval said earlier, if we make enough noise we may eventually get heard.

And once more to ArenaNet, if you are aware of this issue and have plans to do something about it then a little bit of feedback would just be common courtesy after all this time (5 months +) don’t you think?

I love this game, think they have done a great job with it. My only gripes are DR and right click targeting. Its a shame that any DR related thread just gets deleted by the mods now but the right click targeting thing surely is a relatively quick fix? Every update i check the options to see if the magical toggle has been added but still no dice :-(

This issue needs fixing really interrupts the flow of play and is a major pain. Especially in a game where constant movement is required to be any good.

DR..Divinity’s Reach?

Obsidian.1328:

DR..Divinity’s Reach?

DR is diminishing returns, where drop-rate falls if you repeat an action too many times.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Diminishing_returns

Its claimed that its inclusion is ‘anti-farm code implemented to prevent bots and exploits’.

I think its universally hated, and its a ridiculously heavy handed approach to potentially punish everyone in the hope of stopping botters (which there is no evidence that it does)

Maybe this will get fixed in the next patch?

Are there any other “losing target” issues that people have found? I’d like to have a list ready to present any suggestions. For example, during Shatterer event, I often lose my target on his arm when he rears up in the air for a couple seconds. Not sure what is causing this, but sometimes i’ll end up standing around like an idiot not attacking anything because my target has been lost for a while.

Please, Arenanet, comment on this thread.

It’s absolute madness that this is still in the game. This has gone on for far too long. How many people have to ask for a fix before ArenaNet even begins to listen? So many minor things have been addressed yet this major frustration among players is left alone.

So please ArenaNet, at least acknowledge that this is an issue, even if you are not fixing it yet, it would make a lot of people happier if you said it was in the pipeline at least.
