As suggested before, it is the mouse. Either repair it or replace it (sometimes disassembling and cleaning the contacts is enough). I have assembled a brandnew rig since I last posted in this thread and am no longer experiencing said issue with my new hardware (including a new SteelSeries mouse). It's not the mouse, stop this fanboy defense stuff or whatever it is, for 8 years it's been a well documented issue. It covers brand new mice, several brands etc https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Camera-control-issues-a-documented-list Either the developers can't fix it, or don't want to. Going by the fact revenant has a game breaking bug that's been reported for ages but still isn't acknowledged or fixed, I'm pretty sure they just don't want to. It's demoralizing and frustrating for all people who love this game, and the last thing needed is someone saying "it's the mouse 4head" just because they don't realize that assembling a brand new rig means the somewhat persistent issue hasn't triggered for them yet, that doesn't guarantee it won't for you down the line. Don't you realize most these people have played just fine till the bug hit them? when a physical issue happens to a mouse, it's consistent over every, single, game. you can test it, so when you do and you get a somewhat reliable issue on this game vs a non existent issue on other games. it's not the mouse. good news is, you have a spare mouse somewhere you can reuse sometime, bad news is, you have zero critical thinking skills. Merry Christmas.

Even if that's true (which is debatable) ... there isn't a sensible business case for Anet to convert GW2 to trinity. ... and no, you can't conclude trinity is NEEDED in an MMO. That's absurd. In fact, GW2 shows you DON'T. Seems what I meant went over your head or you just decided to skip it to go straight to the "GW2 is perfect" notion even tho there are so many glaring issues, What I was saying isn't that GW2 needs to go for the trinity, I'm saying it would have been better off if it had from the start. The game has so much going for it, the lack of the trinity is NOT one of them, it's a half truth that there is no trinity in this because in the end of the day we still try to half in half out the roles that trinity does, we still have tanks, we still dps, we still have support. sounds awfully similar to the trinity doesn't it? and that's what I mean, they knew it wasn't working for most people, they tried to make it more, brought in things we requested from other games like raids etc. I mean what's the point in healing Armour, tanking Armour? no trinity right? have you seen games like ff14 and wow, you want to go healer? you can dps still in solo, but you chose a role because that's what you like. this game you go for a class and you usually have to build some specific way that's absolutely made to fit a certain role, you got stuff like "hey you build this because this is the best way for a raid or whatever to get x boon" and so basically you become a boon bot, like a heal bot, but more boring. do you see the irony in this? this game is less flexible than modern trinity games in that sense, and yes I know you can bring some mediocre build but most of the time in reality you'll be told nah, see you guys have the view point of someone whose got a bubble where everything just right, bonds made over years etc, but I'm thinking the big picture, especially the new player experience, which is terrible. Empty world, difficulty balance disrupted by changes never addressed, having relevelled a new char recently it was such a horrible experience, like no one doing the dungeons, no queue, no people wanting to do stuff together, hearts are so archaic, exploration is yikes, all the fun of the game at this point is lvl 80+ and when I'm running around at lvl 70 on my alt and I meet a warrior and he doesn't know what he's doing, have no idea about specs, and he looks stuff up that has him so confused. and he's so clearly lost and that's before level 80 where your options explode open? That's a damn shame because at that stage, you are looking at an empty map with no one there except one person in a blue moon running past you, and I would never blame that guy for quitting right there, which is a shame because the game has some amazing things, mainly later on due to lack of qol features but whatever. I'd rather they go through the whole game, removing/merge a ton of currencies, fix the balance, make the classes good at what they should be and make build versatility an actual thing for other classes than a couple, like mesmer in fractals oh my god... than release a new expansion. and the focus on boon "trinities of a sort" is so counter to that promise of a lack of trinity, like it doesn't help that some specialisations are basically "hey you can take the stuff from this other class that's meant to be their thing but hey whatever right?" like what happened to being special? DH? rangers traps? FB's mesmer mantra's? Yay, let's trample on the identity of other classes, which begs the question, why not just get rid of classes then lol. there's so much contradictory design philosophy in this game, and you want to defend that? adding quality of life features like a queue for dungeons, etc you know, it's not like it's 2020 or anything. I like talking about this stuff but acknowledging the issues would be good because it isn't an affront to what you like, these issues fixed would be best for the game, because otherwise it's this awkward endless conversation about how this game isn't the wonderful rose tinted bubble you believe it to be because you are lvl 80 in a guild with friends thinking the community is wonderful but meanwhile the reality is for the lonely new players, especially those who hit up spvp it's a whole different story. And that while your perspective is that of someone who loves the game, do know that for most new players the lifeblood of the future, as old players do trickle away, this game is requires dedication before getting to the good stuff and then it's usually worth staying for a pocket of players that you run content with all the time. which tbh you can find on almost any mmo nowadays. just because there's a loud vocal minority praising this game doesn't mean that experience translate well to those it's being praised to. GW2 isn't a supreme success story, it's a interesting idea that's gotten way out of hand and has an identity crisis, with some horrible aspects like the spvp hacking and toxic side of the community, insane amounts of bloat, a complete and utter lack of stream lining or clean up after years of patches leading to horrible experiences for some. It's so fustrating, because there's this huge amount of potential, but one foot is in the new the other in the old, and the small vocal side of the dedicated community is absolutely not helping by pretending this game doesn't have glaring issues. One look at sPVP's hacking issues and sPVP's community, like, seriously?

So you can name a few that survived. If I went through my memory, though, I could name a few that didn't, some with significant resources and IP behind them, and there are probably even more that I've forgotten. Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 maintain a fairly strong core that don't drift to those other MMOs because of the things that the franchise does differently. As for Guild Wars 2 not doing so well at the moment... I don't have the figures to hand, but I'm pretty sure a large part of that has to do with the lack of real updates, not due to the lack of a trinity structure. There was a pretty strong feeling going around that Guild Wars 2 was going to be abandoned at the end of Season 4, and as it turns out, that feeling was justified - Season 4 had the strong ending it did largely because ArenaNet wanted to end on a high note if that was going to be the end, and the decision to continue didn't come until afterwards. Nothing kills an MMO faster than the perception that the developers have or soon will abandon it. With respect to WoW - you can say Blizzard earned it, because their war chest was built by the successes of Diablo and the RTS games, but the truth of the matter is that Blizzard went into WoW with more resources to throw at the project than any other MMO developer. Part of the way they use that is that if another MMO comes up with something that can be incorporated into WoW, that's what Blizzard does, often iterated to a better state than the developer who came up with the idea could achieve. The only way to survive is to offer something that WoW doesn't. EVE, for instance, has a very different setting based around spaceships, and while it may have a trinity-like mechanic, it has a very different gameplay to WoW. I mean it's clear you want to cherry pick hard no matter the counter view, but the audience for mmo's isn't that big, not all of them can thrive, the fact that the biggest ones that have thrived for so many years, like we are talking 15 years+, we are talking as old as GW1, while facing competition from so many similar clones etc speaks depths of my point and how ridiculous your approach against it is, outside like one of them which is unique and has no competition to be fair (dofus). In fact, Dofus was the first game by it's developer, It cost not a fifth of what GW2 got in development fees even tho every single map was hand made in flash, it at it's time was revolutionary, nothing has been made before or since, this developer then went on to improve, change, evolve and thrive. They are at the stage where they have another mmo which failed (for trying something different, which ultimately failed, players govern nations by voting a leader, economy is 100% player maintained, level up skills by using them, stuff that sounds cool in theory but in practice killed it). they are making another mmo that's based on an old arena version of dofus gameplay wise, they have two side single player games, a physical board game which uses statues, an anime, yeah, an anime and we aren't talking made by japanese we are talking french made, as in they made their own animation studio to make anime, they have movies in the work. So money is your argument? because that's a objective, factual, example of something that contradicts the very foundation of what you are saying. GW2 tried to do things different, has no competition, still spent half the amount on it that wow did to be made and quite frankly half is still an incredible amount, to talk of success like it's down to how much money you put into it initially is naive as can be, there are mmo's that failed so hard that spent more. Cannibalizing GW1's population by making an IP that plays vastly different and splitting the pop between both was never going to be smart either. NC has a history of neglecting their mmo's, it's not funding it's just simply decision making most the time, nevermind the controversies like stolen code etc but there's always a theme with these games, they get thrown out, earn, then neglected outside minimal support, usually in form of either closing the game down like wildstar, or just releasing an expansion every few years like gw2. This isn't a money issue, it's a philosophy on how they want to make money. In the end of the day I can't blame them they are a business. but stop making excuses for them and trying your best to spin your perspective into something that protects a fragile image that in the end of the day doesn't help you one bit. Because outside of comparing to other mmo's, you can just ignore that and compare it to it's previous IP and the issues are glaring still. And in a genre that was over saturated, and the only one's thriving are the one's who are following the trinity, that means something. that means something huge and glaring, it means the trinity is the unfortunate tried and true thing that people want or don't want, but definitely need in an mmo.

Hard to say. A lot of MMOs that did have trinities failed. In the MMO space, you need to have something that distinguishes your game from WoW, or WoW is just going to beat you with Blizzard's greater resources. Taking a different approach might well have attracted just as many players who don't like the idea of classes being strictly limited to roles as people it turned away who do like strict roles. Keeping in mind, of course, that after HoT at least roles certainly exist, it's just that it's generally a matter of your choice of build within your profession, rather than monks always being support and so on. Not really tho... FF14, WOW, DOFUS, even EVE in a weird fleet logi way all are doing well. Experimental games like GW2, Wakfu aren't. Wakfu is in fact joked as a single player mmo now, that's how low pop it is, I know that it's rough to hear the opinion that GW2 isn't doing well but hear me out, it's not thriving; It's neglected, it's obvious they realized the lack of trinity didn't work/appeal to most and so they went for a best of both merge, and that's smart but the issue is that it's also trying too hard to be both. The game has got glaring issues in the support side of the game, bloat, currency bloat, bugs, an incredibly toxic spvp scene and i'm not even going to start on the hackers, or how asking to report them universally gets a "but that won't do anything" reply from both teams, which is in no way or world a good thing. An absolute total lack of modern features, quality of life features, like group finding is so archaic compared to other said mmo's being able to queue to find people. A skeleton crew of devs, balance issues left and right, people who love classes quitting them for others because they get nerfed in a way that rips the fun out, people trying to make whole builds viable but ending in frustration, let's be real now. FF14 & wow are much more alive and thriving, and those are expansion bought + sub games, this is a game with a f2p core and no sub game, getting people shouldn't be hard with that, the gw2 game state is dire tho, you got people arguing openly in /m, you got people debunking on reddit the gw2 community is so nice reputation, essentially it's strongest strength is old data. Balance has messed up the low level experience too, low level dungeons are way harder than at release due to the changes made, still not yet addressed. I'm not a fan of wow, but Blizzard's greater resources? that's an excuse, you know it is, they earned it and they invested in it. It's also not THE mmo people are trying to beat, that's an excuse communities of mmo's use instead of looking at the glaring issues of said mmo, at the time there were other mmo's doing absolutely fine, isometric ones, sidescrolling ones, turn based ones, but WOW had the marketing & that's the one thing they did amazingly, nothing stops any other dev of GW's size from doing the same. The ton's of money people spend on cosmetics in this game do you really think that they invest those back into the game at the same level as some other devs? come on... Archeage thrived till the devs released a patch that was so controversial mass quitting happened, I've never seen a server feel smoother in real time in my life outside that experience. Any south korean mmo? they usually are cash grabs and the korean audience likes p2w where as we hate it, that's gonna not work over here, it's the truth. Terra? Still going strong, even with the huge controversy early on and the bad look it's players receive due to it. The worst part as a fan of GW2, is I have absolutely no faith in GW2's early game experience keeping people, the game's best things right now are all later, all 80+, the leveling experience is dead, I just leveled up an alt and it was like... every mob had 800 to 1k+ bonus exp, I met a single group whom I had fun with & a single guy who was level 70 and didn't know a single thing about his class, he was asking about where to spend his points, what gear to use, I asked him about joining a guild to help him and he said no one would answer him etc. Trinity based mmo's have one thing so good going for them, you know exactly what you need and where you going, you a healer? better healing, you dying too fast, better survivability, you a dps? get more damage etc. I absolutely adore Path of fire tho, and that's the shame, outside a 80 boost you gotta go through a massive turn off to get to the good stuff, and even then most the area's of PoF are somewhat dead. Yet to this day I still see people wanting a healer class lol, yet the pseudo healers don't do it, aren't viable in x content or y content, druid in spvp for example is a joke. I do love the idea of the lack of a trinity for this game, it was a good theory, it ultimately appeals to few and pushes away more, and it doesn't help that in practice it's not doing what it says, it's an illusion that bogs down the potential of teamwork and gameplay, as you can look at how it works in reality and look at say raids and see that there is basically a non trinity trinity going on, you still need guardians, you still need druids, you still need x, y, z for A, B or C content. Basically, this non trinity thing is shallow, lacks depth, buff providing isn't something unique to this game, and when so many classes have moves almost identical through them it makes identity shallow. GW2 is a fun game, but if you are going to compare it to giants, please remember that those giants earned their title and there's absolutely no reason GW2 couldn't have done so too.

Honestly I feel like while the lack of trinity is part of what makes GW2 what it is, it's also it's most glaring flaw. I think this path ultimately stunted the popularity of GW2.
