Guild Wars 2

I been playing since beta and had this problem randomly, always, especially in WvW/PvP

Running along, spot target, go for my normal rotation .. bang i’m .. immobile/ watching my red bar drain/ dead.

Than I look and see this in chat box “AADDVVVWWSSSWAAADDFATBZSRT”

I admit I am a bit of a rager .. but this is the single most frustrating thing in this game. I know its not just me, there are other posts on REDDIT, and no I am not ‘accidentally’ hitting the chat with my mouse (please!)

Help!!!
has anyone got a work around?
IS it a combo of buttons
Is it my Rig (Orbweaver/ MMO7 / i don’t use a keyboard)?

The return key will do it. Frustratingly if you are already chatting the return at the end of a line will get out of it.

I send messages often in the dailies that look like 121[whatever waypoint].

Never actually seen this and might not be much help, but ill try and suggest something.

What I would try to do is just mess around randomly in a safe area and just try and mimic what you usually do when it happens. Keys you press, movements and even try the keys next to ones you use. Try and find what triggers the chat box to be selected. I would hope that its a key that maybe is being pressed and not a bug. Maybe go through your key binds and double check them all? I’m not completely sure. Another thing to try while doing that is maybe recording. If it IS a bug a recording of how it’s happening or just when it is happening could help the Dev team fix it.

Hope this helps and Good Luck!

you know that’s a great idea .. I hadn’t thought of recording.
the other option is to wipe all the key bindings and start again :P

Thanks for the responses..

you don’t use a keyboard? if you are using xpadder make sure the following keys are not bound somewhere on your setup.

it might just be the position of the mouse as well at times. in my experience with a controller (first 2 months out of beta) the mouse could get away from me and I’d end up announcing word salad to everyone around me.
