Guild Wars 2

With the new targeting system, engineers will be able to hold in left mouse button, and continuously throw grenades – what do you guys think of that change?

Personally I love it!

Con is that in pvp you won’t be able to kite and throw grenades behind you. :|

Dood! Seriously, this could be amazing, the one thing I actualy wanted for GW2 and from MMO Games in general is a better Action experience, PSO2 for me is the best form of action combat and this change could bring us so much closer to it. If this is true, GG Anet! This is the direction the gameplay really needs!

Tho it may take a while to break some habits for this particular game. Could be some initial frustrations. Adding it as an option rather than pure conversion is possibly the wisest thing ANET has done since launch

Been using Auto Hotkey to do similar things since launch.

Yeah, it makes life a lot easier.

I’ve been practising old mode since launch. And I got quit a bit of energy in my hands. I don’t need this new option at all, except maybe wvw, to quickly track, super fast moving enemies.

It looked like you could do this, just use the ‘S’ key to run “backwards” and you can still ground target behind your character. This is what it looked like in Joel’s stream anyways. Guess we’ll know soon.

You can disable this action mode with keypress and use the old ways whenever you fancy.
