Guild Wars 2

I hate the camera in this game. Because of how it’s incorporated you can’t use your left or right click mouse buttons for anything else. I would raterh have my left click for my (1) auto attack ability and my right click for another. using (f) to pick up any items or interact. I’ve looked up several key binding guides and none of them ore really fluid. And you always end up giving up a feature in order to spam your abilities more smoothly.

So my suggestion is completely change the camera feature, this way releasing the mouse buttons from their already useless feature.

The camera becomes dynamic and moves WITH the cursor. The camera operates separately from the character.

You can still use the mouse to engage targets on screen by moving the center of the camera to the object, Think of this camera as a “cross hairs” type.

Now the problem with this would be the using items on the screen. Unfortunately this option would go away HOWEVER there is a way to still make use of it.

by pressing the ALT key you release the “cross hair type camera” and switch to a secondary mode where the cursor is free from controlling the camera. This secondary screen would have limited functionality you wouldn’t be able to play the game this way. This is just for moments where you want to access an item-screen or mailbox in a safe spot.

A prime example of this camera feature would be any type of game that uses a cross hair type camera or a more recent game and where I stole this idea from goes to Dungeons and dragons 2 neverwinter. They’re action based combat system is a breath of fresh air, and should be how games from now on take an approach to mmo’s. It Just works.
