Broadicea.8294:

It is pretty simple. Toggle button in options menu to disable right click selecting targets. Done.

^
This.

Happy customers, possibly hundreds or thousands, that may start paying for gems etc again…

Wow, never heard of anyone using both buttons to move, seems bizarre to me, but as an option that`d be best for all

You don’t always have both your hands on the desk. Moving with both buttons can sometimes be pretty handy when you’re lazily going from the TP to the bank in LA, or when you’re drinking a cup of tea with your left hand

Ah, another leftie eh?
Black no sugar please, got biccies?
I`ve never used both, but I`ve gone from a keyboard turner many moons ago to a full on meece pest, but as r`click, this should be an option also.

Either way, I bet it`ll be a cold day in he, I mean Tyria before we ever see these

Their latest response…..

“Disabling right-click to attack/interact is certainly the safest approach to this issue. There are two problems, though. Anytime you have camera-look and targeting on the same input, you will have conflicting behavior. There isn’t a bug that targets are randomly selected, but rather the game trying to be smart at recognizing clicks versus camera movement. Even when you think you’re perfectly clicking on a target, most of the time you’re also moving the camera a tiny, tiny bit. There is a small threshold that determines whether your tiny movement should actually be a target selection. Lowering this threshold will reduce the chances of this happening, but is one of those numbers where we need to sit on it for a while to see if it ‘feels right’. The problem could also be solved by completely separating the different functionality of selection, auto-attacking, and camera movement. However, this is not something we’re prepared to work on at the moment as it is a much broader-reaching change. I hope this helps clear up what’s happening and what steps we’ll take to change it. Thank you again for all the feedback!”

Fishbait.6723:

Whilst you`re at it, can you code the game not to move forwards when LMB & RMB pressed at the same time?

Whoa! That’s a completely different issue and would completely screw up how I move in this game (and in every other MMO I’ve played, all of them have used double button press to move). I don’t use the keyboard to move or turn except for short position adjustments.

If it’s a toggle, as most everyone is asking on the right click targeting which is the focus of this thread, fine.

Wow, never heard of anyone using both buttons to move, seems bizarre to me, but as an option that`d be best for all

I suggested this prior to them releasing Arrow Carts 2 into the game, got loads going against the idea.

Yet for those that say “think where you want to put them before selecting…” how are you meant to know new things are going to be added or not?

Anyhoe, Gamebreaker & some digging about along with Anet live stream courtesy of Grouch et al, had Anet saying there will be a “one off” reset points at some point in the future.

Should be permanent option, but meh.

Woah, paragraph alert!!

So in other words, there will not be a sensible option to disable/enable this?

/sigh

I`d definitely been there long enough to damage it enough.
The last one I just did, it was all of 5%hp when I got there, hit it a few times with 1 necro staff spam & chest dropped, so something is buggish.

Running about during a fight spamming F to pick loot you can barely see, end up talking to some random vendor, ressing someone or worse, an npc, picking up Warriors banners, looting herb/mining or random weapons laying about….

Definitely needs a change.

isn`t always spawning, on underworld server. The instigator*

I`ve had it not appear twice today so far & seen few more on chat with the same bug.

Whilst you`re at it, can you code the game not to move forwards when LMB & RMB pressed at the same time?

Vandal.8029:

Reloading.3260:

I thought this was a mistake when I first saw it in notes.

Anet dev says keys are for turning, left mouse is for skill clicking, right mouse is for targeting. Deal with it.

Did a dev really say that or are you just joking? Thats breaking two of the cardinal rules in pvp. Might as well go for the trifecta and make the “s” key unable to be remapped so we can backpedal as much as possible..

I hope you were just joking.

It is believable, I`ve seen some of them play live & they even click /cringe

Yet more folk miffed at this stupid mess…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Right-click-targeting-re-enabled/first#post2120136

Page 12 & 13 is their “reasoning” for this mess.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/An-option-to-disable-right-click-targeting/page/12

Apparently it was a fix to allow spectators to r`click someone to follow them or similar.

Anyone else get the feeling that Anet don`t know wtk they`re doing at the worst of times?

Was it a typo/not completed sentence on the new patch notes then?

Quote:
“Structured PvP Right-click targeting of enemy players has been re-enabled.
"

Nowhere does it mention anything about spectating….

Good luck but as usual they`re ignoring it.

As for the Kermit wannabe earlier in the thread read the forums & you`ll see why Ele` needs it, I know the search is crap, but you`ll find it, eventually

Folk.2093:

The price to make those or farm the mats to make those is insanely high. Don’t let jealousy or hatred of another meta blind you from shear fairness. All I am suggesting is a laurel vendor be available for fractalers to buy double stat infusions as well.

Heck they should also add a double stat infusion vendor for utility ones as well.

Also fishbait’s response is absurd; I’m not going to keep reinfusing items depending on which meta I’d like to do for the next several hours; I don’t want the WvW stat itself; just the +5 stat.

I never said anything about reinfusing anywhere.

Olba.5376:

Fishbait.6723:

thieves can still use that & weapon swap to their op toys

They could, but that would hinder their mobility. And that’s something most Thieves won’t risk. And it’s not like Cloak and Dagger is cheap either.

Whereas Ele` now has the worst or second worst mobility & non stealth, I`d change to stealth if we were given the option.

P.S. underwater Ele` stealth doesn`t count

Ah, had forgotten they`d put it in a silly 30 point for warriors, almost as dumb as Ele` only 20 pointer for fall damage (when they finally gave us it ;p)

thieves can still use that & weapon swap to their op toys

Way I see it, have you ever been Moa`d?
There is feck all you can do, they even made the “oh shizz I must Moa run” spell lower escape, yet you`re not allowed to use stun breakers etc.

Almost forgot, yeah Ele` has good boons, but Thieves & I heard Warriors got boon hate/steals, so even our defences are killing us now ;p

I`d place Anets business on the nerf due to either the new map that has orb (despite rtl can bug out in that map more then others lol) or that players complained that they couldn`t stop them in WvWs.

The WvWs part is probably due to the criers, the amount of times I`ve gone into there (in past, don`t bother any more, waste of time) & not one of them has stunned/immobilised me & plenty afterwards grouped me to say “why runqq” etc

The “We don`t whack-a-mole nerf” crap that Anet lied about has proven itself big time, RTL is the only escape/catch-up spell that has been nerfed over 133% (someone correct figures?) within any time at all, but to also do the no heals or utilities or elites when in mist, is just kittened & showing their cluelessness.

Rezzet.3614:

it has a perfectly fine 20 cooldowns if you land the skill on someone as for 40s you’re obviously ignoring Ele’s super condition and boon management if you cant fight without a super runaway button then you need to learn how to use your class.

Scroll up, it bugs, constantly.
Also wtk does having good condition removal do if you can`t attack back? ;p

milo.6942:

what gap closer allows you to heal or fight?
nicknamenick comparison to rush is valid.

/effort…

I didn`t state gap closers allow you to heal, I`m stating that you can heal, pewpew or whatever either at same time or if you weapon swap or wtk you want.

Ele` as I`ve stated can`t do any of that.

But it stands that if one class, that being the Ele` got over 100% nerf in a few weeks, then why should any other class that has the same ability, albeit better, not be nerfed also?

I`ve no problem with Rush etc not being affected by slows, that is Anets problem, but Warriors do have Shake it off

Ele` RTL nerf was stupid & then some, to the point in WvWs & sPvP if someone is running from me, I know that RTL will probably fail or not catch up or bug & even if on a straight run & I can catch up, they can still easily outrun Ele`..

lol no I don`t.
Somebody slowed can still heal, fight back or just feck about, someone in RTL whetherr stuck, immobilized, stuck on a bit of ground or wtk can`t do kitten

milo.6942:

would you say it’s worse to be stoppable & slowable, or unslowable but still stoppable? please note, if you haven’t already, that rtl is very nearly functionally equivalent to a 1200 range teleport.

I`d rather have spells on the bar to protect/attack then none at all. The best they could of done is put a cancel on the RTL bar, insted of sod all

RTL may be close to teleports, but unlike Lightning Flash, Shadowsteps or wtk thieves use, Mesmer teleport etc, RTL doesn`t remove the immobilize, it just leaves you stuck as a fuzzy ball of useless static

You can be stopped in RTL, which is worse then slows ;p, I`ve had it happen plenty of times.
RTL puts you with no spells, anyone else can still go pew pew.

& yet my ranger can leap 1100 every 12 seconds & also has range/melee options, range giving another 1200-1500 targetting. (also a pet that out ranges that by miles, literally ;p)
My Necro could outrun Ele` easily before with Spectral & speed signet & also has range 1200 & melee swap. Now it can even more so.
Warriors the same, actually think even faster.
Thieves are fastest in game & also have ranged/melee swap & high damage output.

Ele` has melee Or range, if using D/D you`re now at 40 seccond cd if anyone blinks, dodges, blocks, moves to one side & the pathing says kitten it, let`s head to some wall etc because let`s face it, RTL is the biggest telegraphed spell in the game.

Not everyone used it for escape, but why shouldn`t they?
Lowest hp isn`t always made up for what once were great heals.

Some of us used it to catch up with anyone & their gran that could kite, because, you guessed it, no range ;p

40 seconds I bet was put in because of spiritwatch, but even in there it bugs out so much it has kittened us over….

If you want those stats, go into WvW` & earn them like everyone else has had to, or wait ten months for them to be released in your PvE, like the WvWers have had to.

/fixed.

Then what the kitten is this!?

Not bad enough dodgy death gfx, table results mid screen, you had to add this!?

Must be a bug in game or peoples heads…

Stealth.9324:

BlackBeard.2873:

Calae.1738:

I don’t know what you see in the focus.

You are right, it is useless on the whole, but incredibly useful when it does have an application. For instance, go to southsun cove and compare killing a karka with focus (reflect their spit attack and they basically kill themselves) vs. killing one with a dagger offhand. In other situations, where ranged damage management or reflection isn’t as mandatory, the focus performs quite poorly. Still, it does have situational uses in some endgame content where damage mitigation is key.

Why restricted yourself with a VERY situational set while you could be more diverse??

Talk about RtL, I was downed yesterday by BS after I RtL. No immobilise, no poison, yet Thief able to catch up with me 1200 range after ,in stealth and BS me???

No shock there, they could do it before the stupid nerf with ease.

sticks players in the animation regardless of them having already looted or not.
This is terribad & then some.

It also makes the sound of pick axe on metal.

LilMcGinley.3890:

Rising Dusk.2408:

VOLKON.1290:

If you consider the number of chest per person and the number of people (especially those getting 2 chests at a time now), that’s a crapload of ectos being squirted into the system in short order. I can see why they’re doing it this way.

On the flipside, consider the number of people doing world events for daily reward chests of 1-3 rare+ items per event. Rares guaranteed for each WvW rank reward chest would be a drop in the water by comparison.

TinkTinkPOOF.9201:

And being that you get WXP from more things and even more total XP from things, leveling up will be easier than ever, I could do 2-3 ranks in a night easy, now it’s looking like 6+ a night will be doable.

Anyone can do 6+ world events for anywhere from 6-18 rares in around an hour. Greens for these WvW rank chests are terrible.

Go Farm southsun with 400+% MF.. I got 22 rares in 2 hours + exotic hammer which sold for 5G last night… And all the PvE’ers get the rewards WE earn for them in WvW without stepping foot in the Mists… just sad

I was taking kitten out of some PvErs once when I said at least the WvWers earned you lot the extra hp etc, when at least three on /m said there was no such thing.

I guess they thought they`d magically gained weight <cough stats> since Friday

Curious, how many of you have had a rare or exotic since beta/live. One exotic & around four rares I`ve had. including JPs which take more effort then dragon 1 spamming guarantee you rares.
(This is without the new chests.)

I`d complain about the backlog as I got sick of chasing groups/zergs just to have to flip a camp & so gave up wvws.
Having said that, the outside world is just as, actually a fair bit more, tedious, but guess I`ll just have to do without ;p

P.S. Holy kitten, you can make tonnes of gold, loots, rares, exotics etc just sitting at one wp in Southsun compared to spending what little you get in wvw

runeblade.7514:

So, Elementalists should be able to use 40 weapon skills in combat?

While other professions have to use 15 skills including weapon + utility.

So an elementalist should be stuck with kitten sceptre or permanenetly melee unlike every other class?

Placing bets it is due to lack of funds, so everything gets made temp` & put on their one spare server, before being returned to the box next to the server hamster.

Stop feckin` about, give elementalists weapon swap.

I`ve just gone into the Canach crap & got stuck in combat with sceptre & there`s no way out of that place except for alt f4 & nowhere to get out of range.

You said prior to release you`d keep an eye on it.
Remove that eye from where you`ve stuck it & get on with it!!

Elementalist

Ring of Earth skill: No longer destroys unblockable projectiles.
Lightning Whip skill: Now strikes targets in a similar angle to other melee ranged skills.
Elemental Surge trait: Now functions correctly with the Arcane Shield skill while the player is attuned to air.
Conjure skill: Summoned weapons now correctly appear in the player’s hands if certain on-swap sigils are equipped.
Arcane Energy trait: Now works properly with the Arcane Power, Arcane Shield, and Signet of Restoration skills.
Rock Anchor skill: No longer able to affect targets at infinite range. Now respects line of sight.
Air Bubble skill: No longer able to affect targets at infinite range. Now respects line of sight.

Wasn`t aware they had infinite & I`ve used them often.
Rest is Meh! as usual…

Rogues in warcraft were a hell of a lot easier to handle then scum, I mean thieves in gw2.
Sure stun lock could get you, but a well timed trinket & pew pew, fight is balanced.
I used to fight three of the best rogues on our server (as a fire mage, foolkin or shadowpest) & did more then well enough.

Biggest screw up with thieves in gw2 is the constant stealth, silly ranges of escaping & insane damage, but also one of gw2s main huge problems is the amount of time this game takes to get you out of combat.

If a thief stands within (whatever range) it is that this game sticks you at. (like when hit a player/wall etc then step back, you`re in combat for hours unless go out of range)

In warcraft if you weren`t hit for (a fairly) short amount of time, you were out of combat. This is how it should be in all games, but gw2….. /facepalm

But this has been like this since beta & having seen the way they snail around to things will probably never change.

Ah well, Wild Star is out soon

Best thing you can do is check where they normally post the patch times etc.
Twitter,
Facebook, probably even Tumblr or Myspace, but not the forums ;p

Stormcrow.7513:

CONGRATS ANET!!! on reaching 16000 views for a 9 month old issue that hasn’t been addressed in over 6 months!
Keep up the great work!!!

As a reward for this I sent them a box of clues & a nice big cake.
Unfortunately when I went to right click send, I think it clicked screw with our game play instead

Autobalancing text is blocking the target players have selected.
This is BAD!

PvE, not PvP.
Your version isn`t even accurate & is just a huge blob of crap on the screen, options to get rid of this should`ve been in from the start.

Also, it bugs….
Several times last two days this has popped up after I`m alive again.

rank/balancing.
Did you add any? I`d heard there was, but wtf is this mess?

aren`t working. I tried using forums “search” function, but we all know what that is like ;p

Tried using this & selecting Kyhlo, Nif` & Forefire only maps, yet it still puts me into the other three which I don`t want to do.

Also, why can`t we name these?

<spvp voice> You have taken Raven.
Ooh, a Warrior was coming, has done a runner, time to give chase.
Moves camera, presses RTL &…..hits a feckin` wall, because RMB has targetted a Raven that happened to be sat doing sod all nearby & camera turn decided to select it after I`d selected the player… :$

Here we are, still stuck with this crap :$

There is so much junk top right that it is even competing with the rest of the crap to open/close up other parts.

In the picture, level 80 ranger (same for my necro, mesmer, warrior etc…) showing Daily (& when I`ve HAD to do that it switches to) monthly, Southsun (or any other new story/seasonal event crap that is out at the time…), the event that I`m engaged in or just passing by, & last but largest is the story, which as you can tell I`m a level 80 ranger & haven`t & will never be doing the story, but am forced to stare at this EVERY time I do anything, because all of these reset any time I get another event complete shield.

I don`t even care about the dailies/monthlies & whatever Laurels etc that I`d gain, when I load a game I want to play it the way I want to play it (does that ring a bell Anet? “We want you to play….”) not having to do dailies/monthlies just to clear this crap.

Same goes for spvp, why the hell hasn`t an option been added to turn this off already?

40sec is stupid, 30 second just as bad.
Especially as it can bug on blocks, pebbles or someone blinks/stealths soon as they see our huge telegraphed spell.
20 seconds was as lengthy as it should ever of been for the class that is strictly melee only with no weapon swap.

As for the one that said Ele` is top tier in mobility. Wow, how long since you`ve logged on?

My Necro can outrun Ele` & has 1200 range at hand.
My Ranger has 1100 leap every 12 seconds & can weapon swap to hit at 1200-1500 range.
Show me an Ele` that can do that.

I can understand the whack-a-mole nerfs for two of the “pvp” maps, but for anything else it was idiotic, but not remotely surprising after seeing how they “balance” since launch.

Alas you can`t, only way to see title is in “H” panel or ask others

Ommu.1649:

According to ANet devs:
“Just move on. You aren’t going to kill him.”

^ this.

Oh, another way is to swing a sword, swing a sword & swing a sword again ;p

ArtemusHunter.9521:

Is it still in the game? I’ve been Dodge-jumping since beta and now all of a sudden I cannot do it on any character anymore T-T

Are you on a Norn by any chance?
I`ve noticed on my bank alt norn it doesn`t dodge jump half the time.

Have to agree here, sort of.
Well, apart from thieves with daggers, they can do one ;p

If it wasn`t for me having HoM daggers I`d not have any interest in their designs at all.
Having said that, Mystic ones tend to be popular, even though they`re lack lustre…
