Guild Wars 2

Button says: “Turn your character 180 degrees”

The bug:

I don’t know why it sometimes does not work. I press and press the key but the character does not want to turn 180 degrees. I am a heavy user of this button because I do not use the right click to turn the camera around. Please fix this bug because it does not allow me to turn 180 when i am on battle or when I have finished a battle. i really do not know what causes this bug. Sometimes the button works flawlessly, but some other times the animation looks like it jams and it does not matter how many times i press the button it wont turn 180.

UPDATE 8/2/14
I managed to replicate the bug with 100% results. The bug is caused when you press (AT THE SAME TIME) the “about face button” + any other skill. If you press those buttons at the same time and then you want to use the “about face” button again, it will jam and wont let you turn around.

I hope this gets fixed really quick because I am a heavy user of this “about face” button and i keep getting this bug over and over again.

If you see it not ‘working’ ask if someone else sees you turning around when you hit it.

I don’t think it is a graphics issue because the character keeps moving forward instead or turning 180 degrees and move back.

could it be relative to the camera, if your camera cant move 180 degrees without hitting something then it wont like it, just an idea maybe worth checking out.

Im not sure what is happening. The only thing I know is that it is more likely to happen when you are in combat. When you push the button it is as if the camera wants to turn 180 degrees but then suddenly goes back to the original position, hence prohibiting you from turning 180.

This is likely it in this case, and this description is something I have seen happen, usually if there is a wall or 2 nearby.

You are referring to “about face” where the character (not only the camera) should turn 180 degrees, right?

If so: the “about face” button only works, while the right mouse button (the one for steering the camera) is not pressed. It is annoying and absolutely unnecessary and bothers me a lot too, since I use the about face option quite often to use skills like burning retreat as a gap closer.

So in order to make it work, you need to release the right mouse button every time you want to use about face. I guess that’s why you notice it in combat a lot – since you steer the camera much more “in action” (at least I guess that’s the reason).

I would also like to see a “fix” to that, even though I don’t think it is considered a real “bug” in the first place.

I do not use the right click at all. I have been using the “about face” button ever since I purchased the game. I think it is a real bug that prohibits you from turning 180. I have experience this bug since I bought the game for that reason I am 100% sure it is a bug. However, I do not know how to duplicate it. The bug seems to occur at random and it is more frequent when i am in combat.

I found out what is causing this bug; the bug is caused when you press (AT THE SAME TIME) the “about face button” + any other skill.

Also: don’t aim your camera with your mouse while using about face

About face only works when:

• You are not using your mouse
• You have not offset your camera
• You are not using a skill

yeah, that is exactly why I use the about face button because I do not use the mouse. The only time I use the mouse is to turn around and look around me.
