Third Person Shooter Controls for GW2 (including my workaround)

[hotdogtesting]

Only thing they need to change about controls imo is the mouse acceleration, as OP showed if you really want this kind of control scheme it's not very hard to make a workaround for it.

Definitely mouse acceleration was what prompted me to look for this workaround in the first place.

However after playing with it all of last BWE, I do find it to be easier to play my Staff necro...


Like all games though, Mouse Acceleration should be an option.

Use the acceleration slider in your mouse driver then.

I would prefer to NOT have mouse acceleration in the in-game control settings as it interferes with the precision and speed of a high resolution mouse.

Don't use it then.

We're talking about further settings you can choose not to use. So don't enable them (assuming they are disabled by default) or disable them otherwise.

Yes, and I'm just saying that most games do that in the most horrible way imaginable (from a control perspective at least.) - if it's done right with 0 acceleration actually meaning 0 acceleration then all is good...

However, that's not always the case. And that just makes things worse - the alternative is of course to just crank down the resolution of the mouse to counter it, but you still wind up with less precise controls that way.
