Guild Wars 2

I use the right mouse button to move camera a whole lot, but as a result, it keeps detecting clicks all over the place, and since right clicks activate things for some reason, I keep activating things I don’t want to activate, which can be deadly in some places.

As I absolutely never use right click to activate and use double click and F instead, I’d like to be able to disable right click activation to prevent all these annoying and game-breaking accidental activations with the right mouse button.

SIGNED. I agree completely. My right click gets interrupted frequently and I end up autoattacking something by accident, with attack 1, wihch is almost never my opening attack. They also need to enable mouse button editing and combinations with keystrokes. And an option to simply toggle between turning and pointer control with a right click.

I agree, even with a top grade ergonomic mouse my hand would still cramp and wear itself * perhaps creating muscle tears / I’m a really casual player*. It has become a health hazard especially for people with computer related occupations. I can only imagine the majority with bad mouses.

Right click targetting is the most annoying thing i can think of in this game, i see no reason why it’s there in the first place but if you don’t want to remove then at least give us an option to disable it.

This has to be fixed ASAP! all that festival crap while still main mechanics of the game are broken… I bought the collector’s edition of the game because i believed in it, and yet i got the tunnelvision FOV (without a sufficient justification other than: “our game was’t meant to be like that”) and no right click target disable… i am losing fate…

Well now. I dont have any idea, why this thread is locked now.

We have spent manhours because of this issue.

We have done work because of this issue.

Still we have been played this game.

Thread is a kind, most posts are like. “Please Anet, fix this issue”.

Many posters there.

This really is a gamebreaking issue, as you can see, many players suffers because of this issue.

Its not from us being nasty. All posts are because we really feel that this is ruining our gaming experience. It does.

I can say, that I would definetly play more GW2 if this issue would not be in game!

Anet unlock our main thread, there you can see how big this proplem is.

Now I feel that we were kickin in teeth right now.

No listening, no answers. Not even from Support, I have made a Support ticket because of this. No single answers. And finally our mainthread is locked! This Is Nasty from you Anet!

I have no idea. Very disappointed. Have no words.

I just cant believe that this happened.

I don’t find it game breaking but it can be annoying when trying to use a trebuche or mortar or something of the like, I find myself getting off the thing instead of fireing it.

I find the autotargeting issues to be more game breaking as I often die because the autotargeting system isn’t working as it should.

I just saw RoShambos post about locked thread " https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/An-option-to-disable-right-click-targeting/page/6#post1606947 " Guess that thread is also deleted, I didnt saw any answers. Why?

No answers why our main thread is locked. This is very strange.

Kindly ask, why this thread is locked right now? For what?

We have spent hours and hours because of this right click issue. We have our opinion.

I have no words.

Sry my bad English.

Hi Patu, my post asking why the original ‘right click targeting’ thread was closed has been infracted and deleted because moderator actions should not be questioned!

Too bad.

Well then, we have seen it before, when original post https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/An-option-to-disable-right-click-targeting/page/6#post1606947 is not on top.

New threads with same problem will arrive.

And why?

Because this right click targeting issue is a serious problem.

I have no idea why to keep Controls in this Great Game as Guild Wars is, so laggy and undone. Controls sucks in Guild Wars 2, is my honest opinion.

And we are only trying to suggest better controls. We are not trying to be nasty, as now i feel, we are somekind of criminals, feels so.

Well, actually this thread is over a month older than that one that got closed. And with suggestions there’s never an ‘original’ as many people playing the same game will often have similar ideas.

I made it right away as soon as I noticed the problems right click activation were causing, and most of those problems still stand.

For example:
- Opening coffins in AC, bringing up more enemies to the fight.
- Opening buds in TA, with similar results.
- Selecting tentacles in Jade fractal when the kraken’s head was already selected when moving the camera quickly to face its direction, wasting crystals in the process.
- Accidentally using the cannons in Arah when trying to quickly move the camera and dodge away from a red circle, getting stuck for enough time to be hit.
- Using the cauldrons too soon in the dredge fractal.
- Picking turrets in the middle of a fight.
- Picking bundles when not needed.
- Starting to revive allies when not intended, often resulting in getting stuck for an instant, that sometimes resulting on defeat.

But I guess that if the closed that one, the reason why it got closed may be applied to this one too, so this one may get closed too.

I hope the reason they closed it was because they already have plans to add the option and so there’s no need to keep the discussion.
Otherwise people will keep brining the issue up again and again.

Hey Mithran! If this was the case then a little bit of feedback or information from ArenaNet would be nice! You know, show your customers a little bit of courtesy and respect.

Right now it seems that when you get a job as a moderator on these forums you are also issued a pair of jack-boots. Thread closures with no explanation and threads querying closures deleted with a ‘moderators must not be questioned’ warning. From my personal perspective I know how this will end and I won’t be playing this game any more I can assure you.

Sadly this is the way of most forums these days, gaming forums or otherwise, forum mods become in a sense power freaks and also tend to close a lot of repeat threads instead of answering the obviously growing problems. Imho no threads involving a specific issue should be closed unless said issue has been resolved or for some reason is no longer an issue.(or an unpopular issue that few people care about).

Hi Xephier, I couldn’t agree more with what you’ve said above. I have sent an e-mail off to ‘forums@arena.net’ asking for an explanation of the ‘Main’ thread’s closure (linked by Patu above) and for consideration to be given to unlocking it, all in the nicest possible way of course.

The response I get (if any) will help me decide whether I keep playing this game or not.

In every mmo I move my character exclusively with mouse if not possible I dont play such games
In gw2 its possible to move char exclusively with mouse but there are 2 big problems with that
1. I need to hold both mouse buttons to move forward (not possible to bind only right click to move forward)
2. Right click targeting/interaction

The second problem was such a frustrating/annoying thing for me that I wanted to entirely quit the game for good

But I have found workaround for both of those problems
For the workaround you need
1. Mouse capable of macro recording
2. Combat mode addon v 1.1

So I installed combad mode which does this when enabled
It sticks crosshair in the middle of the screen.
When moving mouse, it moves the camera (not only the mouse cursor)

Then using the mouse software to macro right click as W
I can now move my char. forward only with rightclick, without interacting with environment

Using third-party applications is never an acceptable solution to a problem like this one.

First and foremost, using third party applications always comes with a risk.

No matter how small, that risk is always there with them. So it’s always better not to touch them at all in the first place.

There could be better bindings to make what you want, but that would take longer, and this particular thread is simply asking for an option in the General options tab to disable right-click selection and activation, nothing else.

I wanted to add my 2 cents to the main thread but found that it was locked, and with no explanation as to why.

I may be overly optimistic, but it may mean that the problem is being addressed?

Either way, I’ve noticed the problem more and more lately. It’s getting worse for me as I’m running more and more dungeons and am constantly losing my target or spontaneously targeting allies, merely by moving my camera.

Please, please, please, give us the option to have right-click be ONLY for camera!

You call it better bindings I call it standardly customizable bindings appearing in any MMO, FPS games
people been waiting for 6 months for Anet to dissable right-click selection…
So they can wait another X months or do something about it…
I did it its working and I am not affraid of any banhammer falling on my head as I dont gain any unfair advantage in the game, I am not modifying any game files
btw I use another third party software to run the game in real 3D for 6 months now and I dont see any difference between using that and combat mod
