Guild Wars 2

I was clear in my post. I’m adapting to the GW2 controls. It’s part of game originality, and it’s fine for me. Am I asking too much to have an option to rotate the camera if my pointer is on the screen border? Latinkuro, are you sure features like that will screw up the game-play of GW2?

I am ok with new controls. If you read more carefully the bold+italic text I am proposing some helpful features (moreover they are optionals) that can help all players (clickers or not, but mainly clickers). By the way I am clicker since I have additional buttons on my mouse and I setup macros on them. For example in some easy dungeon in WoW I tanked using only 1 mouse button for spellcasting and no keyboard. I do not want that kind of automatization, but I would like to have auto-movement on click/doubleclick, auto-positioning camera behind character and camera movement when mouse is on screen borders. They are honest requests, in my opinion.

Hello to all,
I think GW2 makes the clickers life impossible. I always used to move my characters with WASD and I used the mouse to cast spells. This is not possible in GW2: you MUST move with the mouse when in combat, and sometime you need mouse and WASD! For that it is hard to cast on movement when you are not skilled or you have expansive game controllers.

I am ok with such a kind of system and I am trying to learn how to use it. Moreover I comprehend that GW2 character control system is part of game originality. But why you decided to limit so much the play-style? One or two optional features can enable new play-styles.

For example:
- when I bring the mouse pointer near the screen borders I would like to turn the camera in that direction.
- when I double click (or single click) a given mouse button on the ground or on a target I would like to auto-move toward that point.
- when my character auto-rotate in combat due to foes movement I would like to automatically keep camera behind him.

Precise movements are so hard in GW2. I am not responsive, I can not turn my char quickly. I feel controls so uneffective. I watched the game and I said “wow”. I bought it then I tried to play it and I said “wtf”! (sorry for the term, but it is the truth)

I think more optional features will make GW2 more usable by newbies (I never played GW1). The game will be more attractive for people who played other games for long time and it will not affect the current control system since new features can be optional.

I hope in some help and suggestions about the control system.
