Guild Wars 2

As the title says, my character sometimes suddenly doesn’t folow my camera anymore. I mean that, it only changes directions with manually cliquing directional keys, thus turning VERY slowly.
To be even clearer, my directional keys are W (moving forward) A (move to left) S (moving backwards) D (move to the right). Now let’s say I press W and move my camera around to DIRECT the direction of my character (like I’ve ALWAYS done so far), it simply won’t turn, it will only run in a straight line, where my character is facing. I have to press A or D so it will SLOWLY turn and change its direction. Useless to say it’s absolutely UNPLAYABLE.
I have this weird issue since a few days only and I just can’t figure how to fix it. Sometimes the issue pops up and goes away without any reason though.

You might try a -repair of the client. Top of Page – Support – Knowledge Base – Search for Repair.

Good luck.

Thx for your answer but I really don’t think it would fix the issue. It started appearing at the same time the EU servers quality started dropping some weeks ago. I think it’s more related to that, somehow and thus, on Anet’ side to fix the fecking problem.
But I might try your solution anyway…

Make sure that your camera option isn’t set to Free Mode. What you’re describing sounds exactly like that.

Like OrcishFury mentioned, that sounds like the ‘free camera’ setting. You can remove it by unchecking the box on the first tab of options half way down the page.

Sadly didn’t change anything. The issue keeps appearing and disappearing randomly. Thx for the ideas though!

At this point, I’m just hopelessly hoping it somehow fixes itself with the upcoming patch.
