Hello there.
Yesterdays patch seem to have changed a functionality of about face for a pretty important mesmer movement trick. In my case I was doing it this way (free camera enabled):
Left click( to lock) -> about face -> Phase Retreat -> about face
Today however I noticed the second about face doesnt work. There wouldnt be any problem IF right mouse click right after phase retreat put character in current camera direction, but instead the right click soon after PR moves camera back to characters back (the right click problem was ever since i remember). It makes PR turn pretty impossible to execute if not doing it with manual camera turn which is alot slower).
Is there any reason for this change?
Ultimately it would be really nice to have one of these issues fixed.

Cheers.

PS
Maybe its just me. Could someone confirm the change?

EDIT: The reason i mentioned right click after about faced PR is because when you about face and blink/withdraw(thief)/Initiative roll(thief)/light flash(ele)/shadowstep(thief) you CAN continue to run after right clicking, without camera returning to your back.

Still working as usual for me. I set “change direction” to the X key, so it’s “X>2>X” for me, the 2 being activated with my Logitech G600 mouse.

The point is not to move camera, only your character. Enable free camera, before you do “change direction” try left clicking. You will notice camera locks infront of you and only character turns. With clicking only change direction both character and camera move. So yeah simple change direction > phase retreat > change direction of course works for me too.
