Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

I just noticed that the greatsword swings all sound very metally… Which seemed a bit odd as I am hitting flesh on birds, minotaurs and other creatures, all of whom do not consist of metal. Even if I would hit a mob wearing armor, it wouldn’t sound anywhere near the way is sounds right now.

I understand its a fantasy game, but a bit more realism would actually be nice in this case, anyone feel the same way? Becomes quite annoying to use GS for extended periods of time this way.

I found a fix for it. I very crude one which my eyes still don’t like, but maybe it won’t bother yours as much.

Window your screen, stretch the horizontal view to screen width and the vertical view to slightly over half of your monitors height.

This will do two things (amongst cause other problems like animation no longer fitting the aspect ratio):
1 – Give you a much needed increased zoom range
2 – gets rid of mouse delay

God knows why this works, but it does. Sadly though, like I said, my eyes can’t seem to get used to that half view, but give it a go!

Right, before I get flamed for posting someone else has already done; my apologies, I want to go to bed so I am not reading the 5 previous pages completely but I do want to post what I just found:

• The windowed mode thing is great (yes people know this already) still strange to get used to, but FoV is SO much better. Also it feels like the camera zooms out differently… somehow.

But the better thing:

• When I turned on Vertical Sync in window mode my mouselag disappeared!!!

I have no logical reasoning behind this besides maybe the mouse turning to hardware accelaration with the vertical sync, but that is a complete guess. I hope it helps some people get rid of their terrible delayed mouse issues though! My eyes were thankful for it ;-)

Goodluck! Maybe it’s just time to buy one of those cinema aspect ratio screens and play in windowed mode form now on ;D

EDIT: Equally if not more important, this also solved my keyboard delay! Allround awesomeness!
