Guild Wars 2

Hello GW2 GD! I have two separate topics but since I am only one person I wont waste space and you can have them both here.

Firstly I would like to say I find the controls in GW2 very awkward. I have not really played another MMO like this before but it I am sure people do not expect me to use Q and E for strafing, I have already changed them to A and D.

What I really want to know is if I can fix my other control related problem. I do not want to have to hold down the right mouse button to have my character face the direction of my camera. It should be the other way around. My character should always walk towards the camera -unless- I press the right mouse button. I am getting super tired of holding it down 90 hours forever all the time.

Please let me know if I can change this somehow!

My next question is about the human story elements. At the time where you pick what element of society you belong to, one of the choices reads:

Commoner — I was raised among the common folk of Divinity’s Reach. We’re the working class, the cogs that keep the city running. I help out at a tavern owned by my friends, Andrew and his daughter Petra

I am wondering if anyone else thinks this is a reference to Ender’s Game or just a coincidence. I have to admit some off the wording on certain class descriptions or even other human story elements have reminded me of Ender’s Game. Am I crazy or just in love?

OK go at it!

I can’t believe Orson Scott Card wrote that in 85. I hope you get a chance to read his other books dealing with that universe, they are very good.

As for the OPs question, sadly there are a lot of key options not available (like where is the Map remap key?). I hope it gets updated soon.

Answer is not optional, at least for the first question!

I don’t remember that Andrew had daughter Petra. I think Andrew had no offsprings at all. Petra was one of his battleschool classmates who got married with Bean.

I’m pretty sure there’s no way to change the mouse button setup. Funnily enough, I like the controls, they’re surprisingly logical and easy – compared to SWTOR, for example – but I’ve also changed the strafing buttons myself. About holding the right mouse button: you could consider buying a special mouse. I have a Cyborg Rat 7 MMO, and you can switch the mouse buttons to be on or off constantly without the need of holding them. I don’t really use the feature, as it requires pressing an extra button, but it’s very useful nevertheless, not to mention the countless programmable features of the above mentioned rodent.

By the way, I’m currently re-reading Ender’s Game, and no, I think it’s just a coincidence.

Use your regular movement keys + R.mouse button to strafe. Or use the ‘autohotkey’ script’ google that + r. mouse button.

Well that is as lame as an upside down turtle. Oh well! I am getting used to it :c poor fingers, so many buttons, I cant imagine what WoW players do.

Well i offered you a solution in which you dont need to hold down the R.mouse button. If you dont want to pursue it then that is your choice.
