* UPDATE * For this to work, make sure to have "Free Camera" ticked in options and "Use either mouse button to change direction" has to be not ticked, otherwise left-click movement will not work. ❤️
If only holding S just made you turn around AND move like with action camera. Or in so many other games except this. Going forward to go backwards just feels horrid. Controls have been my main issue trying to get into this game. Ah well. Nothing for it but to learn it, I suppose. Thanks for the vid!
Been watching too many Guild Jen videos mate! She's got a more seductive voice so you'll have to do with 2nd place for now! Nice vid. About face is severely under utilised by a lot of players and opens up a lot of options that can turn fight fast. Catching an enemy com or squad off guard with this is priceless. Never fall for it with you though. I know you're going to do it. 😉
I’ll have to try more ASMR next time 😂 I definitely agree, and I hope some new players see this video so that it can help them learn advanced movement. Gosh… I don’t think I’ve fought you guys in a very long time hahah 😉
@@mech3840 it honestly should be taught the moment you step into any competitive mode. it enables so many kiting, disengaging/engaging, baiting and bursting strategies. from about face to bait and turn faster, learning to use movement skills esp. backward directed ones more efficently to bursting and reacting to enemy movement with los/directional skills.
It works but it feels really counterintuitive to me. It's like my character is moving backwards while I'm moving forward (pressing W). For now, a simpler alternative is to just use action camera. But I really wish Anet adds something similar to legacy controls in FFXIV (which is basically GW2's action camera movement but with your mouse cursor still available).
Problem with action camera is that you slow down when you perform an action. So if you attack someone or perform an action, you cannot about face immediately. You can only about face in every direction when you're not in combat and or performing an action. This is why about face is still superior to action cam. Which sucks because I like action cam and like to use it, but these issues hinder it.
Is it really sufficient to hold LMB? I feel like I have to hold LMB and drag slightly to get a lock first. Does anyone else experience that? If I dont "lock it" it still works but it's not realiable.
Hi, I have a question about how you solved the problem with LShift which throws skills or highlighted things into the chat window. Do you have this problem at all? I do and it annoys me terribly, would it be possible to switch somehow.

@@TheDinkyDreamer not just us mate, no.
About face should be a standard thing for any organised guild.
Very effective!
