Guild Wars 2

I would like to be able to see my cursor when I hold right click to move the camera.

I dont know why the decision was to make it invisible, but its not helping me in any situation and its annoying.

Thank you and sorry for my english.

Yes, this would be very good option!

Hoping that controls will be fixed in this game.

This is getting really annoying for me.
Im really curious about the reason behind this decision.

Why? The cursor doesn’t move when you look around with the right mouse click, so there’s no need for it to be there blocking your view.

Im constantly moving my camera to get more field of view and in this game I dont need to use my mouse to move, so I use it to do two things: select targets and move my camera so i can see what surrounds me.
I do change targets a lot, but aiming and clicking is really fast, so I dont spend too much time on that.
The rest of the time, im moving my camera, which is more than 80% of the time.
The cursor dosnt block my view because its relatively small if you consider that you cant zoom out too much.

And my suggestion is not to make it always visible, its to create an option that allows you to do it, if you preffer it that way.

Yes, as said, this would be good option. And cursor does move when you move, you could change place, cursor change place and you could use for example ground targeting skill if cursor would be visible. Very Usefull!

Agreed, I’ve been hunting around for a way of achieving this- it’s the one thing that bothers me about the control setup!

I just bumb this. This option would make gameplay better.

I would really like this as an option for those that want it. I use a lot of fast-cast ground target abilities while moving with mouse and it can be very hard to keep track of cursor (have to release right mouse button to see where it is and that stops me all together).

I have tried to position cursor just above my character before I right-click so I know where it is and it works on closer distances, but it is not precise enough for longer ranges.

Option to have cursor visible when right mouse button is held would be great for those that move with mouse and use fast-cast ground targeting.

Here is me hoping for that option some time in the future

I agree i would kill every moa in the maw 20 times over for this option.

After making some testing, I found that targeting works a little different while in camera mode.

There’s actually two things working:

- Aim for projectiles and melee centers to the middle of the screeen and changs when moving the camera. To show this one, you’ll need a crosshair in the middle of the screen.
- Aim for AoEs stays in the place where the pointer lass was. To show this one, you’ll need to show something indicating where pointer is on the screen, otherwise you’ll see it only if you activate ground-targeted AoEs while the fast-casting ground targeting option is not enabled.

My recommendation is either:
- Make two icons while in camera mode, a crosshair for the middle of the screen, and one that replaces the pointer arrow with something like a reticle, less intrusive, so you can differentiate between mouse select and camera mode, and still know where the pointer is.
- Add just the crosshair in the middle of the screen, and change AoE targeting while in camera mode to also use the screen center aim.

Here’s other suggestions asking for crosshairs:

Bump this suggestion.
After this new patch I’ve dived into WVW again (with culling sorted it’s very nice now) but in huge fights where you MUST move a lot it’s just impossible to keep track of cursor when I have either of 2 mouse buttons pressed. Since I play grenadier Engineer I use Fast-cast all time and it sucks that i have to release my mouse (and that means stop most of the time) to be able to see where my grenades will end up.
Option to have cursor visible would help soooo much. Please consider that

Important Bumb!

Many times i have lost cursor during battle because of this also!

Also more showing cursor colour would be perfect!
