Guild Wars 2

Why is the default mouse sensitivity “Rotation Speed” setting so low? This isn’t an FPS. There’s no reason for that value to be so low. For this reason, multiple people who I’ve tried to get into the game have complained that it feels sluggish. I only noticed it when I actually got on my gf’s computer and tried to move her character around.

The moment I pushed the “Rotation Speed” up to about halfway through the bar, she said the game suddenly didn’t feel as sluggish as before. This poor default setting is giving new players a bad view of the game, especially those that aren’t familiar with mouse sensitivity settings in the first place.

And this is made even worse by the fact that the mouse sensitivity “Position” is already about halfway through the bar. So, if their mouse only seems sluggish while turning but not while moving the mouse around the screen, it wouldn’t click for many users that the problem is their sensitivity.

tl;dr Set default “Rotation Speed” to about 50% instead of 5%

Where is this setting located, please?

I totally agree with this. This is one of the first things I did when I installed the game! The default settings is rubbish you can barely turn to kill anything at all!

The setting can be found at: Options > Camera > Rotation Speed.

Crank rotation speed so it turns 360 degrees moving the mouse 1/1000th of an inch. MUAHAHAHAH.

But yeah I hope you guys aren’t using the keyboard to turn that’s just awful.
