How do I jump or spin camera around using mouse? - Guild Wars Forums

Anyone know?

No jumping other than /jump emote. It is pointless in this game.

Hold right button and move the mouse, scroll wheel for in/out - those are default settings at least.

You can't jump, as DeanBB stated already.

True story: My brother plays WoW still, and he saw me playing GW not too long ago. He said "This game looks pretty cool...what do you do in it?" So, I explained how GW is basically WoW without the crappy stuff, more PvP, and better....everything.

He said "Wow, and it's free to play after you buy it?" So, I replied with "yep". He said "How come you're not jumping around like you used to in WoW?" I said "Well, you can't jump in this game...it's pretty pointless anyway, and never used for anything important in online games like this."

He seriously said "Oh, well if you can't jump then I won't play it" and he left the room.

I'm not making this up.

Id like to see jumping that allows you to not have to go about a half a mile out of you way with you goal right in front of you, because of a 1 foot dropp beinging too high an angle to walk. If jumpings added in GW2, it should have no effect on combat whatsoever(no bunnyhoppers lol).

That would make it really pointless (no pun).
If you're going to include jumping in any game, it has to have a purpose.
The only reason GW would even need to have jumping would be to, say, jump off a rock to avoid Searing Flames.

But GW isn't that sort of game anyways, so you'll have to make do with pegging it.

I don't see what the point of jumping would be either. People would just use it to try and get to "secret" places. Or be annoying and jump around the whole town.

Question answered.. and this isn't the place to discuss the merits/demerits/etc on jumping/wow/etc.. If you want to discuss bringing in jumping into the game, please go to the Sardelac Sanitarium forum and discuss it there.

thread closed.
