Guild Wars 2

I have had some weird targeting issues for a while. I took about a year break from the game, but still seem to run into them. When I have a target targeted, my attacks will often completely miss and fizzle into the ground/air. I have a screen shot for what I mean

Note: I use action camera mode now, as I like it, but even before this was in the game I had this issue a lot with target abilities, such as auto attack and such from range. Melee I never noticed it, well because I mean you are in melee range.

Settings I have on: Content guide: All AoE loot checked, show enemy names.
Camera: Use free camera
Combat/movement: Lock ground target at max skill range

Any ways to fix this would greatly improve my time in game, as this is kind of really frustrating

Edit: It’s not because of where my mouse is targeting, if that were true, then this would also miss:

But it doesn’t, it still locks on like it’s suppose to.

Would like to also add, my friends can see the bolt just completely miss from their view also.

when you use your skills with the action cam, you attack where your mouse points too, a way to select a target it either to point at it or rightclick at it so it will be locked as a target as long as your dont look too far away

I stated that it happens in non action camera too. Also, the second screen shot has the aim a bit more off and it still hits. They are targeted in both pictures, but i’ll provide more screen shots. This one is on a target that does not move at all, thanks to the pvp area.

I didn’t move from my position and the mouse is in the same area (Just about)

Anyone at all have any idea?

Well, in that second set of images, you may have just been on the edge of hitting or missing considering the distance from the target golem. I don’t use the action cam myself, its just not my preference, but I do have some targeting issues in default. It might just be the game, I don’t know.

Well if that were true as to why it has been missing, then all other shots would follow. Though it isn’t true, all other shots did lock on and hit the golem. It happens randomly and also with abilities. Which hurts my game play really bad, missing an ability for no reason and it going on cooldown

Yeah, I don’t really know for sure, like I said I don’t use action mode.

Yes, but you said it also happens to you without it. I had this issue over a year ago before I took a break from the game. Though it didn’t effect me as much, since I used an eng with kits that used ground targeting. I notice it more now, because I like Mesmer/Necro a lot more now.

A year ago, action camera mode wasn’t a function yet, so normal camera mode had this issue
