Guild Wars 2

/Bump…just they know we are STILL annoyed by their camera mechanics.

And make this sticky allready !

It’s one thing if your popular mob does not pop or some event is bugged or some loot looks pink instead of blue. These are all things that you can live with.
Broken content can be avoided while it’s broken, but you can still play.
Broken loot can be avoided while it’s broken , but you can still play.
Broken class abilities can be replaced with others, but you can still play.

Broken camera that make you physically ill can NOT be avoided, and you CAN NOT play at all.

But I guess as we are just a few hundred ppl who have this problem, and the rest of 1.99 milion do not, we are just colateral damage.
If all the people that have this issue will stop playing it’s no big loss for Anet. They got our money from the box anyway.

I didn’t notice on the box saying that the game might cause severe headaches and nausea for some people with sensitive eyes.
If it did I would not have bought it. I wonder if thats not against legal regulations, in which case I might have a chat with my lawyer friend

Baxuz.1943:

Now that the Suggestions forum is open, maybe this whole thread should be moved there? I’m not sure if this topic fits in the Game Bugs section.

This thread should NOT get into Suggestions, because IT IS a bug. People can not play the game because of it.
It’s not some cosmetic fluff that needs to be adressed, it makes ppl sick.

So it should stay here untill they solve this problem

When a game has any other issues that have to do with gameplay/quest/events/pvp etc thats all things you can get used to etc.
But when the game itself is hurting you phisicaly, then the devs SHOULD look into it, esp if it’s something they can prolly fix w/o much hassle.
It’s a 100% gamebreaker for some people, and more and more seem to suffer from it. You just can’t play because your get literally in pain. I have played MMo’s and single player games for more than 10 years and have never ever experienced something like this.
If some can stand it and like it even, thats ok, make it AN OPTION that you can turn off/on.
But for the love of god make the game playable.
I can’t even cancel my sub in protest
They got my money for the box for a game I can not play AT ALL.
I should not have to look for tricks and do all sorts of artificial workarounds to be able to move the camera which is the most basic thing in an mmo.
I am glad at least that they are aware of it and hope that I can play the game in the near future when they fix this horrible bug

Me and my GF are playing MMo’s together since we met. We bought Gw2 together and from the first Beta she could not play more than 10 mins because the camera inertia/FOv/movement literally hurts her eyes to the point where the game is not playable for her. we tried every trick in the book. she has a top end gaming rig etc, nothing worked.
We like the game but she is just refusing to play due to those issues. Hear head hurts up to 1 hour after she plays for 10 mins. No other game gives her this kind of problem and we played every mmo that is out there.

It’s such a shame that a game like this stumbles on idiotic issues like camera inertia.

But as the hoard of fanboys are raising the game to high heavens, I’m sure Anet will not give a kitten about a small minority who can not play because the bloody camera makes their eyes bleed.

I do not know if other players have the same issue, but there is on thing in the game that is making it very hard to play for me.

I always use my keyboard to move my toon and GW2 is almost unplayable for me without steering with the mouse.
The camera inertia while steering with the keyboard keys is making my eyes bleed.
It sounds odd, but after 10 mins of playing my eyes literally hurt and get a horrid headache after 20 mins of playing.

I heard that they would put an option in settings in which you can turn off the camera inertia.

Does anyone know if this is just a rumor or is actually worked on ?
