Guild Wars 2

First of all I’d like to thank you for a great game which has brought me great joy playing so far. Now to the issue at hand:

I, and I will be so bold to say that I’m not alone about this, prefer to cancel targeting/attacking with the ESC key. Quite often this works just fine but sometimes, perhaps due to lag, you’re force to tap ESC several times. What happens? Thekittengame menu pops up in the middle of a fight. Surely it can’t be that much job putting it in among other keybindings so we can use another key for accessing the game menu? It would also be nice if the avatar stops attacking properly when hitting ESC a few times. Atm it doesn’t feel 100%.

Another issue regarding this that I’d say is just as important is that there’s no feature for disabling targeting with mouse2 button (not that I’ve found at least). Some of us prefer to do small adjustments to the cam midfight and when the screen is all cluttered with other players, mobs etc. you often end up targeting something else by mistake.

I sincerely hope these issues will be addressed in a near future as they seem like minor tweaks and would improve the experience for not only me but plenty others as well.

Thanks.

A reasonable idea. Personally I’d be a happy camper (quite jolly as it is) if they somehow fixed the bug where you midfight loose your target for no reason, or circling your target and loose it, or when it runs to the side and you loose target focus… or as you said, when you pan your camera, and loose it

I was about to post the same kind of post.

Mouse 2 targeting should absolutely be optional. Game is pain because of it. Small areas with many players in melee range, you always pick those to be targets, not the enemy, when changin camera angle. Now you have to all time press C, if not, you surely have wrong target.

It would be perfect gameplay if Mouse 2 would only be for camera rotation, absolutely no takeing target.

Please, please fix this as soon as possebly. Or make it optional.

(and sorry my bad English)

There is an option that is set as defult to stop autoattacking when you change target, if you turn it off it should help with the second problem you’re getting, then the only way to stop attacking is if the target dies, you auto attack a different target or as you do, by pressing esc

EliteZ: not sure if I’ve already tried that option out but I will look into it. Thanks for the hint.

Again, in short, what I would like to see here is:
1. A possibility to rebind Game Menu (currently locked to ESC key).
2. An option to disable targeting with mouse2 button to avoid switching targets by mistake when adjusting cam mid fight.

I totally agree with OP. There should really be a way to unbind ESC gamemenu. For the mouse2 targeting as others said before, pain in the a** when you’re in a small area with lots of other players/mobs.

I agree with what was said before, this feature is really a lack. This little add will put a lot more comfort into gameplay.

You have tab to change target, never used esc. for that. I changed c to other key for easyer use.

Issue i have is when fight is coming up in pvp, i want to alert my friends quickly like when guarding a point, it’s a nightmare to go in and out of chat for me, i use esc key but doesn’t always work.
Or suddenly im in chat by accidently pressing some button and im frozen.
So make going in and out chat easyer pls if possible.
I know we can use voicechat for that but not always like in random.

Great idea, i fully support this.

Read my post again. This has nothing to do with target switching. While on the subject though, tab targeting could work better than it currently does as well.

I fully support it. I have experienced the thing with the Esc-Button some times.
It really comes in handy to keybind Esc to a different thing or not at all.
I would also like to see more options as to what can be keybinded and what not, but a small start is nevertheless essential.

According to some I spoke to this not only occurs on mouse2 but on all mousebuttons used so perhaps an option to force targeting on mouse1 only would be preferable. In any case it makes no sense having other buttons than mouse1 target things in a game where there’s no click-to-move by default.
