Guild Wars 2

I really wish the game had a way to lock the view on the mouse, so I didn’t have to hold the right mouse button CONSTANTLY in combat. I can’t fight without using my mouse like I do in Borderlands 2 and other FPS and TPS on the PC. It would make combat so much smoother for me but I can’t find any settings for this anywhere.

It would be SO simple to just add a button that toggles on what the RMB already does while it’s held. Probably take 10 minutes <.<;

I’d really like this feature as well. I don’t see why it doesn’t already. If I pop open a menu, then a mouse cursor is fine. If I’m just running around and fighting in the world, I can’t recall a moment where I haven’t let up on my right mouse button.

Having this functionality would allow me to keybind my cardinal movement directions to each of my mouse buttons, streamlining my key presses, and saving me from twisting my fingers in combat!

Look up combat mode. Google it.

NO form of coding can ever take only 10 minutes, specially not on a game this size, however yes it would be rather fast from a coding perspective still and i would love it as well

Get a Razer Naga mouse…

I got ALL my skills at thumb’s reach

Plus I have the wheel button set as my interact button. I only use the keyboard for jumping and kiting.

Mods are allowed? I read an article saying you won’t get banned for using Combat Mode but…I’m still a tad leery about it. Though as long as using that mod alone won’t bring the banhammer down on me, I’ll use it. That seems like it’d give me what I need. Would still be nice to have this simple toggle ingame without a mod…

Since Autohotkey sends the same command to your mainboard as your mouse does when holding RMB, there is no way of distinguishing these two. There’s no difference between using combat mode and sticking a piece of toothpick into your mouse (yes, that works for me).

Many skills work only if you are facing he target, so many people end up fighting while holding tight mouse all the time.

If instead holding right mouse button I could simply use a toggle button to switch between camera and selection mode, that would come quite in handy while using some builds, specially melee ones.

i agree, we need mouse look. a simple toggle is all that’s needed to switch between cursor and mouse look mode. i assume most people hold down the RMB anyway so the feature seems like a no brainer.

Bump :P
Just wanna inform a suggestion again, maybe Anet team can look up from example of this game :

Notice she change the camera mode into TPS mode in a click of a button at 0:27.
or a toggle would be nice, and can escape TPS mode via esc button or any button that un assigned.

cheers.

There’s a number of extra software you can use to hold the camera button for you at all times, like The Combat Mod for example. Technically this isn’t a mod itself, you don’t change any of the game files, you just have different keybindings set on your computer, and like people already said it’s allowed because it doesn’t really play the game for you or give you any real advantage.
