Guild Wars 2

In the demo I’ve been having some trouble with changing directions on my mount, and I think I figured out the problem.

So I tend to move around by holding the W button (or just R) and then keeping the right mouse button clicked so I move by moving the camera. And it works like a charm for me. However, for the mount it does not. I’ll be running along and all of the sudden, I’ll be moving the camera and the mount just charges straight ahead instead of changing directions like it was supposed to. I use a Mac, and the problem exists in both the 32 and 64 bit version.

Here’s what I think is the problem, in the options there’s the option “Use either mouse button to change direction”, which I always have enabled. When running around unmounted with my character, this works, I can change directions with both left and right clicks. However, I’ve tested this, the mount doesn’t respond at ALL to left clicks for me.

And this means that when I accidentally left click instead of right (which I do because I use a magic mouse), I run into a ditch.

I tried disabling and re-enabling the either mouse button option, but this did not change anything.
So, please let me change directions with the left mouse button on my mount! ;-)

i’ve had the same problem on my mac with trackpad, tried to move by turning the camera but the raptor keeps dashing straight ahead. thought they just changed the way mounts are controlled but when i use a bluetooth mouse, turning the camera also turns the mount

“use either mouse button to change direction” i have enabled too, though i don’t see a difference turning it on or off and the option “use scrolling gestures to change direction”, which i keep disabled because it made me accidentally zoom when i wanted to change the camera, doesn’t seem to have an impact either when enabled

the easiest way to control the mounts via trackpad is just using WASD and not the mouse at all, because A+D turn the mount and the camera at the same time

Honestly, if I use A or D to turn, I run in a ditch even faster, I find it ridiculously difficult to control that way, so I’d really like the mouse control to be fixed.

I mean, because you can control your character that way, I do believe that it’s a glitch that you (or at least, I) cannot control the mount in the same way.

the mount seams to take a lot of space to turn. controlling it in small area seams hard to do. when running in straight line it is good but when standing still and wanting to turn in another direction if space is constrait is a bit hard.
