Guild Wars 2

I used to be able to pan around the mini-map, which is obviously very important in WvW. Now I have to come to a full stop, wait a second, and only then can I pan around without it forcefully recentering itself on me. Is there an option to turn this off? If not, it’s extremely annoying. Opening the full map in WvW is a death sentence.

Edit: I just did some testing and it definitely seems to be a bug because it is not consistent, and I can’t find any pattern to what causes it. I’d estimate more than half the time it bounces back to my location before I can move it very far. If I stop moving completely and then start moving again, it often fixes the issue for one attempt, but if I stop and start again, it will likely recenter too aggressively.

2nd Edit: Found a trigger. Sometimes the “headlight” that shows what direction I’m facing on the mini-map will never appear. If that happens it will always recenter on me. To fix it, I have to come to a complete stop for ~a second.

More experimentation that hopefully helps (this bug is killing me, literally): If I don’t start moving the mini-map will never recenter.

Really slowing down my PvE and ruining my WvW.

+1. It’s been several weeks since I wanted to start exactly the same thread

There a couple of ways to “fix” this in my opinion:

• Put an option in the settings “Disable minimap auto-centering”.
• Change the behaviour in a way that it pans to the hero only if he is moving at the moment.
• Combined (preferable): put a dropdown list in settings with the following options:
  • never auto-center the minimap
  • auto-center the minimap only when character’s moving
  • default (cool-down timer for character’s movement)

Oh, turns out this has been posted at least twice already:

Yeah, please keep posting about the issue. Maybe ArenaNet will listen and fix this soon.

Started December 10th update.

Some observation I made regarding this bug in the past weeks:

• Toggling mini map rotation mode often helps to reset the mini map pan feature to the normal behavior.
• However, sometimes, toggling map rotation will not work, and the toggle button in the mini map will become grayed out. In this case, the mini map pan feature will stay broken.
• Switching to the World Map and back again usually resets the mini map pan feature to the normal behavior (but not always).

And yes, I am also desperately waiting for a fix of that because I rely on the pan feature in WvW. Thanks for your efforts.

Was a couple weeks ago at least, is really annoying, thought it was just me.

Seems random as well, there are time when the minimap does go back to not rubberbanding. Also noticed it has a higher chance of rubberbands if you are moving at the same time as paning.

How / Why does it take 10-15 forums on this – at least (if I could search I would have an exact count) before FINALLY someone from ANET acknowledges this problem?

This has been happening since around Dec 10th, and at least 1 forum posting a day has been started on this issue…

Bumping this again. And thanks to Tyler for acknowledging the bug. Hopefully we can have a fix soon, now.

This happens if you are moving while dragging the mini map with the mouse.

Notice the following on the mini map:
Whenever you character is standing still, you see the O> and
a lighted triangular field of view <////
The field of view disappears when you move the mini map and you only see O>
You can move the mini map fine until it attempts to re-center around the O>
Once the mini map tries to re-center itself, your <///// does not come back while moving
The mini map refuses to not be centered until your <//// comes back
To make the <//// come back, you need to stop moving.

This was definitely in the December 10th update, and it is horribly annoying. It didn’t used to be this way, and it should be reverted if at all possible. Thanks!

That’s when I started noticing it as well. I have in the past had success with the minimap while autorunning, but I can’t get it to work right now. Weird.

Well finally they noticed that…. I hope they will fix that…

ETA on fix ?………

Can we get a fix for this yet? It’s been a while and it still does this. It is very annoying in WvW.
