Arenanet, I have been wondering this since the beta: What is it that you guys just cant get the camera right and tight? There are games that are in Beta right now like Overwatch and the camera is very responsive and tight. There are games like Star Wars Battlefront with 80 characters on the screen and explosions everywhere and I still maintain high fps and the camera is responsive. Why is the camera in GW2 so awkward and gliding? I thought it might get fixed a few months after the release, but it still hasn’t happened.
GW2 is 95% of a dream game for me, but those 5% is the responsiveness of the game, which is VERY important. That 5% keeps me away from the game, which is a shame. I think GW2 should be as responsive as games like Overwatch, Battlefront, League of Legends, StarCraft 2 or any other populair game. Comfortable gaming with responsive mechanics should be #1 top priority for any developer. What is it that you guys just can’t change it?
It’s not just the camera, its almost everything basically. Like draging and item icon very quickly. It kinda follows the mouse, instead of being attached to the mouse.
Everytime I loggin, it takes time before UI and sound shows up. It almost feels like that my UI (which should be installed on my PC) has to wait for other content that requires internet to load. Even the green AOE circle on the ground (targeting) has to wait for other things to load. I don’t really understand the way the game is programmed. It kinda feels really messy to me.
Yes yes and yes. So much this. I have said this on forums about 100 times now, WHY is there so much gliding/ camera smoothing in guild wars 2?
The single most revolutionary change you could make to this game is to add a toggle to remove this horrific invention. Right now it just feels like a bad casual console game, extremely unsuited for “fast paced” pvp.
I hoped that the expansion would bring an overhaul to a lot of the mechanics. They added action cam which makes things a bit better, but its still far from what it should be.
