Guild Wars 2

huh. I thought I had ghosts in the machine till I found this thread.
This is a seriously messed up “feature” to have.

I agree this is a major pain. I am getting tired of targeting when I do not specifically select with my left mouse button. It appears that even as I am running down the road (both right & left buttons depressed) that I will find I’ve targeted the npc standing nearby or the rabbit on the side of the road, or the spider just dropping from a roadside tree.

This is the most annoying aspect of the right mouse button issue.

I use very tiny moves when rotating camera with right mouse button. This makes targeting very unstable, because target changes with those moves. You can see it in video.

Targeting system with right click targeting is very unstable. Many miss clicks there. Now you have to concentrate on controls, not the game. It should be like that, that you consentrate on the game, not controls. Controls should feel natural, not like now when you have to make special attention with controls and gameplay. Please fix this, make it optional.

Add my vote for this, as well. I dislike having my target change due my shifting of the camera angle in combat.

I also want to give support to the mention of not having target changes activate merely on mouse down but instead go with click.

I’ve been looking like crazy for a feature like this. Please add this arenanet! It’s so frustrating being in mid combat and ALWAYS losing my target, because I’m always changing the camera view with the right mouse button. Totally hinders the gameplay.

had no idea this was happening.. hopefully it gets added as an option to disable, right click is for camera rotation only (well.. for me)

yes please. kind of annoying to see i randomly targeted a friendly.

I agree that this would be a huge improvement for me. It seems like such a small thing, but it’s so pervasive. I finally learned how to work around it on my mesmer and now reading MithranArkanere’s comment, I realize it’s the reason my engineer’s turrets keep randomly disappearing.

I also would love this if it was implemented into the game. constantly selecting players or pets while rotating the camera.

jef.4319:

this would be a welcomed change. swiveling the camera and accidentally targeting something i had no business to, then slapping em silly is such a pain. so instead of dealing with 2 or 3 aggro’d jotun, i now have a moa and a snow leopard chasing me; because my rifle pierced an accidental target.

Oh my word! I laughed so hard when I read this because of the visual it brought to mind. But, he has a point. I have inadvertently targeted bunny rabbits and squirrels as well as bushes and npcs just minding their own business because of this problem.

Thanks Jef for this humor. Priceless explanation that really grabs you. hehehehe but is a serious problem.

Really hoping that in next Update, this fix will be there. Next Big Update.

I think this is most important thing to be fixed.

YES please!! This is so frikkin annoying, so please make a fix ASAP!

This I can support whole heartedly! The ammount of times I’ve dragged other mobs into battle unwanted just because I wanted a better camera angle on my ranged ranger I have lost count of. Worst one was a champion troll in Bloodtide coast (think that was the map name) had him and his 3 cronies suddenly run at me.

hmm this has been posted almost a month ago, I hope they have plans to address this.

Get this changed asap, we don’t need 50 buttons to do the same thing.
Left click already selects and does actions, I don’t understand why right clicking ( which is to move the camera ) also has this same function.
It’s like having W also associated with performing actions and targeting.

This is a much needed fix for PvP/PvE/Anything.

Oh yes please fix.

Yes, please. this is bad.

yes please, this is quite annoying. Always attacking stuff i don’t want to attack.

This issue has been brought up multiple times.

I was really surprised when I found out that the right mouse button activates stuff, and really annoyed when I saw how I kept activating stuff all the time all around me whenever I just wanted to quickly make a turn with the camera.

I never, ever use right mouse for activating or selecting stuff, and so it’s only annoying.

Right-click activation should be a toggle.

Just finished COF dungeon, and i say that targeting is pretty bad with right mouse click targeting. Target changes all time. I dont want to learn keep my cursor away from middle of the screen, i see no point to really do so. I use fast ground targeting and autotarget is off, so i always pick target myself with tab or C, which is Nearest Target. I never use autotargeting in games, i want to control things.

Game would be so enjoyable with Stable target. Then you can concentrate a lot better with using skills, and perhaps you can change target back and forth, and you dont have to worry that you lose target.

I play as a warrior, and many times i have wasted my skills with wrong target, or even teammate. Worst things are, for example, when using Greatsword and using Rush, and you have wrong target, for example Teammate, you just run pointless because of right click targeting. This have happened a lot.

Please, really, make right click targetin optional at least.

I have say this many times before. This really effects a gameplay a lot. Game would be much more better.

Many players dont even know that right click changes target, they are just wondering that why target has changed, but dont know how. But everyone i know, that they know about right click targeting, they dont like it at all.

Sry my bad English.

Ty for the Great Game anyway.

Last update we did not get this. Hoping that in next update this will be there!

Great game would be even more great with this update!

I move with double mouse button pressure and pan with my right button, which means any time I get mobile in combat my target untargets.

I fully support toggling to left-click selection only.

I really really hope that right click targeting is changed in a first place! Or make it optional!

Great Game would be much more enjoying without it.

Sry my bad English.

I will chime in as well. I would really like an option to turn off ‘right click to attack’

Please do something about this. Makes me want to put my fist through my monitor when i try to turn the camera and i just see the mouse whiz across the screen.

Way ahead of you:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Option-to-disable-activation-with-right-mouse-button/first#post84676

As an engineer, I keep taking my turrets away when I just want to move the camera.

I keep talking to NPCs or reviving things mid-battle too.

I also keep losing my targets.

I just want a checkbox, like the “double click to activate” one, to disable right click activation.

I want to use the right click to move the camera ONLY.

Yup. Don’t see why it would be so difficult to fix this bug.
