Guild Wars 2

Any word about this at all? Will there ever be an option to not use right click targeting? Or am I to assume that Leap of faith is exactly that, a leap of faith that I wont suddenly jump off of a cliff because I panned my camera…

Anet probably doesn’t even think its an issue. But it is. By the amount of posts here and on other forums about it you think they would have done something in the last 5 months. Its probably hardcoded in somewhere though, nice and deep where it will take another 5 months to find it, another 1 to test and a final 1 to wait for a patch to come out sigh.

High hopes though. Especially for the pvp part of the game where its is necessary to turn the kittenhing off.

The right click issue comes up constantly and I have avoided posting in any of the threads because I simply hoped that Anet got the message and is working on it. But now I am posting because they have either chosen to ignore it or they have not prioritized this issue properly. It is extremely annoying.

I keep hearing about this issue but Im still not 100% sure what the problem is. I mean I have experienced some camera issue lately but Im not sure is related to THIS.

Can anyone dumb it down for me?

When you right-click an object/enemy, it targets them. So, whenever you pivot the camera with right click to aim your character, it targets whatever random trash is in front of your cursor. The big complaint is that this doesn’t really make any sense, because left-clicking is the standard for targeting something.

I still dont really get what the issue is. I right-click targets so I can auto-attack them when Im in range (is using a range attack) and I use my left-mouse button to turn the camera. I use right-clicking aiming/moving about 50% of the time but the issue I seem to experience is that left-clicking to turn the camera sometimes doesn’t happen. Im unable to determine if its my mouse-old age or the game.

I may be just me, but this issue has gotten worse for me lately. I am losing targets and randomly targeting allies left, right, and centre. I use the right-click for Camera/Player turning since it’s far faster than A and D. In dungeons or swarms, this is TERRIBLE.

I’ll never fathom why two different functions were mapped to the same button…

7 months and not a word from Anet about this issue. It is very very annoying.
On the bright side, the slideshows from the zergs allows you to target the enemy that you want See problem solved!
