Guild Wars 2

I know. There are many topics posted about this issue – the visibility of the mouse pointer in this game. I’m one of the ppl still struggling with this from time to time, and I know I’m not alone.

Anet, any chance you can work on this and improve the visibility somehow? Whatever you do, if you do anything, make sure it’s a toggle option not to mess it up for the players that think it’s fine as is.

Same thing to a degree can also be said about the target marker above selected enemy, I wouldn’t mind a bit better visibility of that one as well.

For the game in general, there are areas that could use improvements when it comes to visibility and screen clutter – please give us more options!

Have you tried the new combat option? It puts the pointer (a white dot) in the center of your screen and you move the camera around to aim.

Yes I have indeed. Works well for what it does. Does not solve this issue when not using that mode though.

Yes thank you. I’d prefer options ingame though.

Shake the mouse left to right until it reappears.

I also have this issue. I think visability is a big problem but it’s just a game so I don’t get too stressed about it.

Happens to me as well in huge zergs in DS that’s when i convert to my noob 1111111111 spam until i can find my pointer

I do this myself, since I lose my mouse pointer a lot.

Unfortunately, there have been more than a few times (when I do this) where it has ended up on my other monitor, which has thoroughly screwed me over. Lol…whoops.

Where, oh where, can my pointer be?
ANet took it away from me.
It’s gone, and I don’t know where.
I’ve got to be good
So I’ll see it again before I leave this ole Zerg.

If anyone is interested, I made a set of bigger/more visible GW2 mouse cursors for yolomouse:

A video that explains how to tell Yolomouse to use these cursors:

In these forums some time back someone mentioned the Windows option that makes a white circle around your cursor if you press CTRL. I put it on and have found it handy.

I don’t know if newer Windows have that. I am in Win7.

I also have this problem. I like to use full smartcasting so it’s crucial that I know where my cursor is at all times, just it always seems to go into hiding when I need it most. I would love having an option to highlight it.

Thanks for this tip. I’ll try this out when I’m home later.

I struggle with this a lot. I try to camp my cursor at my characters head so I know where it’s at, but that doesn’t always happen.
