Guild Wars 2

I use the action camera all the time. It’s great. Except when some UI pop-up appears in the middle of a battle (e.g. your server has too few players) and you lose your mouse control and suddenly find yourself spinning on the spot because the A/D keys went from strafing to rotating.

I don’t know what solution to this will accommodate the most players. Some will probably be annoyed if a UI pops up and your mouse is still locked in action-cam.
Maybe a compromise: don’t switch off action cam unless I’m out of combat. But even then.. I could be gliding and suddenly losing mouse control could be fatal. You’re smart, Anet. You’ll think of something.

Okay.. this is getting more than a little annoying. Repeatedly, I’m in the middle of a battle when some prompt comes up and steals my mouse. Is nobody else finding this? Is there some option I’m not away of that prevents the ui from stealing the mouse? Can we have an option to keep the mouse in action cam mode unless we explicitly toggle it?
