Guild Wars 2

Something that annoys me greatly and that I also don’t feel will ever be addressed unless someone speak up about it is the following:

Why aren’t we allowed to fully rebind actions to our mouse buttons or ESC for that matter. In a otherwise rather well done client, we are still forced things like game menu on ESC or targeting on mouse1 and 2 no matter what we’d like to have there instead.

My suggestion is simply that you “unlock” these keys (and other keys that I might not know of myself) and add their actions (if needed) into key bindings for us to have proper full customization possibilities when it comes to the controls. This is at such a profoundly basic level of good game design after all. So please, do something about it.

I like this game a lot and I can live with all the bugged skill point challenges, dungeons, graphical issues and what else everyone’s crying about as I feel positive that you’ll have it all fixed eventually.

Why aren’t we allowed to fully rebind actions to our mouse buttons or ESC for that matter. In a otherwise rather well done client, we are still forced game menu on ESC or targeting on mouse1 and 2 down our throats no matter what we’d like to have there instead.

OH and the bugged part I forgot to mention. My party member died, waypointed, and right when he did, he died right away right in front of me.. juts out of no where.. This patch for dungeons was TERRIBLE. All I’m hearing about SE is that it’s even worse. I didn’t know that was possible

Is your friend by any chance a warrior? There’s this bug(?) with the downed skill Vengeance that will make you die if you were defeated and waypointed back before the duration of the skill ran out. It seems to happen more frequently for me in AC than anywhere else though.

Corrupted Orrian Masque purchased with tokens from the Arah dungeon merchant in Lion’s Arch has a nasty visual bug on fully bearded characters. The beard doesn’t become hidden but ends up on top instead, covering half the masque. Give us a barber npc or fix it as it’s discriminating towards us full beards.

This is how it looks

Question:
What’s that awesome music you used for the clip? :p
And nice run. Which traits did you use btw?

Yea, this skill is definitely in need of a fix. Imo it should prioritize targeted first and if multi-res the AI should be lowest priority. Simple as that. Not only does it have this issue but sometimes it won’t trigger at all even though the skill goes through and everything, then I sit there with a dead mate and a massive cooldown on my hands.

According to some I spoke to this not only occurs on mouse2 but on all mousebuttons used so perhaps an option to force targeting on mouse1 only would be preferable. In any case it makes no sense having other buttons than mouse1 target things in a game where there’s no click-to-move by default.

You have tab to change target, never used esc. for that. I changed c to other key for easyer use.

Read my post again. This has nothing to do with target switching. While on the subject though, tab targeting could work better than it currently does as well.

EliteZ: not sure if I’ve already tried that option out but I will look into it. Thanks for the hint.

Again, in short, what I would like to see here is:
1. A possibility to rebind Game Menu (currently locked to ESC key).
2. An option to disable targeting with mouse2 button to avoid switching targets by mistake when adjusting cam mid fight.

First of all I’d like to thank you for a great game which has brought me great joy playing so far. Now to the issue at hand:

I, and I will be so bold to say that I’m not alone about this, prefer to cancel targeting/attacking with the ESC key. Quite often this works just fine but sometimes, perhaps due to lag, you’re force to tap ESC several times. What happens? Thekittengame menu pops up in the middle of a fight. Surely it can’t be that much job putting it in among other keybindings so we can use another key for accessing the game menu? It would also be nice if the avatar stops attacking properly when hitting ESC a few times. Atm it doesn’t feel 100%.

Another issue regarding this that I’d say is just as important is that there’s no feature for disabling targeting with mouse2 button (not that I’ve found at least). Some of us prefer to do small adjustments to the cam midfight and when the screen is all cluttered with other players, mobs etc. you often end up targeting something else by mistake.

I sincerely hope these issues will be addressed in a near future as they seem like minor tweaks and would improve the experience for not only me but plenty others as well.

Thanks.
