Guild Wars 2

I recently broke my mouse so I struggled with keyboard turning until I got a new one. This got me thinking of an option to play the solely with a keyboard.

Right now, keyboard turning is slooowwwwwww. What could be improved is an option to do Camera Lock on Target.

Let’s look at the Up, Down, Left and Right Keys:

- Hold Up Arrow to engage Camera Lock on Target. Basically, your camera is focused and locked on your target. So when you jump behind your target, your camera is still fixated on your target. This would also be great if Camera Lock would bring it to First Person View or Over-the-should View.

- Left and Right Arrow will switch targets, like an improved tab-targeting. This function only happens when you have Camera Lock toggled on. If Camera Lock is off, keyboard turning will be on.

- Down Arrow will be bound to About Face, which turns your character around. If Camera Lock is toggled on, pressing the down button will dodge your character depending on the direction you’re holding in WASD or ESDF.

Just my suggestion… especially those who will lose their mouse from overuse while playing this game. :-)

I sort of agree with this one. I’m not entirely sure whether it’d be considered game-breaking or not depending on how it’s implemented, but with the Thief’s dual-dagger combo skill (forget what it’s called at the moment), it would be insanely helpful with keeping the camera on-target while still moving and dodging after that flip. Also would be insanely helpful in WvW when your target leaps in some random direction, causing you to lose sight of him (since the “this is who you’re targeting” highlight isn’t too clear), and you’re just like “son of a sandwich, where did he go!?”

And on top of all that, I could orient both my hands to keyboard functions and have WAY better access to skills and activations. It’d be something to get used to, but I would love having that feature around.
