Guild Wars 2

Ok I don’t know about you but have you had times when you dodge by accident? I don’t know why this is but there are times when I’m playing and I’m about to hit a skill or move in one direction and I find myself dodging.

With practice you can cut this down to a minimum and the vast majority of the time it doesn’t happen. The problem is sometimes you can get yourself killed because you end up dodging when you mean to do something else.

You could argue that you just need to learn how to move better but I can tell you something, even if you disable dodge you can still dodge by accident, that’s how bad it is.

In my opinion GW2 is the best fantasy MMO out so far, but this is the only thing which I think is bad about this game and could say that I actually hate. I don’t understand why this hasn’t been dealt with. A player shouldn’t be dodging by accident, you should be able to only dodge when you press the button.

Unbind dodge by double-tapping a move button. (Options → Combat/Movement → Double-Tap to Evade)

I only dodge when I push mouse button 4 – works quite well and 99 % of all my dodges are on purpose.

Ok I think I just said even if you do that you can still dodge by accident.

Yes most of the time my dodges are unpurpose as well. I just don’t understand why it had to be like this. It’s just that odd time when you die when you do it by accident, really annoying.

No it’s not a game breaker and I do love this game.

Look into a new computer or mouse if you dodge to death so many times it kills you. Maybe you’ll find some other people in the woodwork here with the same issue as you.. good luck.

I never said I did actually for the most part it’s fine.

Actually I have met some people online with similar issues but like me they got used to the mechanics. However what I did state is that even if you disable the dodge function completely you still dodge by accident, that shouldn’t happen.

Too me it’s not that big a deal but I think it’s a small issue that could be looked at. Insulting players who politely make suggestions is bad manners.

Oh and by the way it is an issue because it’s even mentioned here in the wiki.

Some keyboards react to key presses more easily, sometimes resulting in unintentionally dodging. It is advisable to disable double tapping when precise movement is required, such as attempting jumping puzzles.

If it is an issue with the keyboard should I really have to get a new keyboard? Clearly there are lots of players with this type of keyboard otherwise it wouldn’t have been mentioned. I appreciate the devs do a lot of good work but this seems like a minor issue that could be fixed. But to be quite honest I don’t really care anymore I’m just going to be careful about making suggestions again.
