Guild Wars 2

Never had this problem before.
After patch, occasionally my about face turning seems to fail.
Instead of the whole camera turning, only my character turns 180 degrees. In addition, the about face turning stops working after this occurs.
Any one experiencing similar problem?

I try my best to find out the exact situation that such problem occurs. However, it just seems so random to me. Sometimes, everything just works great. But all of a sudden, the about face turning just fails.

i just use my youthful dexterity to manually turn around in a fraction of a second sorry OLD PERSON

This definitely happens quite often to me. Would be surprised if no one else had the problem.

Your mouse has 2 camera functions.

Left click gives you free rotation of the camera without moving your character (sort of unlinks the camera with the character). Right click rotates the camera WITH your character.

When you click on the ground to deselect your enemy, you’ve switched your camera mode to the free rotation mode. This causes about face to rotate your character but not the camera cos it’s now “unlinked”. You need to right click to lock the camera with your character again and then do your forward phase retreat.

It happened to me before the last patch.

Ty a lot for the detailed explain. I also figured out myself, right clicking fixed my problem!
