Guild Wars 2

Gw2 wants to put stress on competitive gameplay, or as i call it optional mouse combat.
Because the default control setup stinks so much, many better spvp’ers resort to using gaming mouses and some deep customizations in control scheme before they can get anything..manageable.

But two option that imho should be mandatory in control scheme, yet aren’t found anywhere in the menus so far are:

1. camera rotation done with mouse move No right button pressing, simple moving the mouse, moves the camera by default. I find in spvp that i rotate my camera far more often then find myself needing the cursor.

You can check out how to implement that looking at vindictus. They have “action mode” so to speak, where moving mouse moves the camera, and ability to switch at any moment to “gw2 mode” where the cursor pops up and you’re controling it with mouse, and turns are done with right mouse button depressed.

2. Ability to bind the “auto targetting” option to a key. Some situations are screaming for dynamic, player controlled switching between auto target and no auto target.
If i’m running with orb at spirit watch, i don’t want auto targetting on my leap skill. It’s to propel me forward, not send me flying backwards at my pursuers.
But if i got one in font of me, i may opt to target him with auto targetting – decreases chances of my jumping off the ledge by accident, since the target is in safe zone to land my leap.

Such situation require immediate, on the fly ability to choose targetting assist on/off.
Without that lot of “competitive” flies out the window for me.

You say IMHO but nothing about the way this is written is humble.

I disagree with these suggestions and would rather not see the teams waste time developing this.

There is so much wrong with this game right now and so many bugs that they need to seriously think about actually getting it back to a better state before anything else… of course ANET doesn’t think that way and apparently you think like they do so I guess these will probably end up in game over you know, actually fixes.

I don’t see me writing word “humble” in it at all for that matter, in case you’re short on arguments:>

The brought the best (and probably only) argument that is, for that kind of suggestions:

→ I would prefer development-time to spent somewhere more useful.

We all know, that resources are limited otherwise, it would be no problem to fulfill every request. Your suggestions are maybe for some players nice to have, but there are too many far more important (must-have) matters, that needs to be addressed first.
(F.e. let us start with not having the camera options reset after joining spectator mode).
