Guild Wars

I use click to move, why hold down a button when i can just mouse click once and watch my guy go autopilot. Works good when going long distances I dont see any reason to remove it and I dont buy the z axis argument since games with jumping let you click and move. Why get rid of it? Seems like a convenient feature something which GW is known for. All new games from FPS's to mmo's should have click and move, why not?

Because there is such a thing as an auto-run key. If you're travelling long distances, simply press that key and steer your way to where you want to go. Yes, automatically moving there means you don't have to steer, but what's the point of playing a 3D game if you're not going to look around at your environment. The camera angles involved with click-to-move are very awkward, I have found. I'd rather have them spend time developing something more useful than CTM in GW2.

This really sounds like a pointless debate, anyway, since it has already been announced that GW2 will not support the click and move function.

I'm the idiot who uses click-to-move quite a bit.  It's actually because I'm left handed and my laptop's keyboard does not have a number pad thus making it difficult to use the movement controls. 

Dude, just buy a usb number key pad and use it for movement. Then it doesn't matter if you are right or left handed, and they are easy to pack and carry.  I use one becase my laptop keyboard is too small for my hands. They run from $15 to $50 bucks, depending on what you want. Or if you don't really play when you travel you can use something like the FANG gaming key pad.  

 

Just a thought... 

 

Noted.  I actually just put in an order for a new Dell desktop with the ergonomic keyboard.  Looks like it'll be really comfortable for playing GW (and other MMOs). 

Totally off-topic but well worth knowing: don't buy an XPS. You can build your own awesome gaming rig for less than half the price on Newegg.

(Sorry to the mods for making another off topic comment) - I bought it through my PC tech.  so I got an awesome deal...plus software and he even put Windows XP on it so I don't have to deal with the Vista crap.

/agree & Did

Flying at 60 fps in all my games for 250 bucks worth of upgrades NB IMO.(all of witch can transfer to a Socket 775 Mobo) (when I got the money of course)

I just download Guild wars and want to knowmore about it first, thank you in advance.

What would you like to know?

From what I have read they will be giving the game a Z axis. You will be able to slide climb swim ect. They also said they would be giving the game realistic physics.

They're adding an "X-axis" I believe it's called, which allows a person's avatar to jump, swim, and they're adding climb trees (which will be an action more than a movement factor)
