Controls: Left/right reversed while moving backwards? - Guild Wars Forums

There is one small, but very annoying thing in GW that's bugging me:

In almost any other game I've played your left/right keys are reversed when you move backwards, just like in a real life car your view turns right when you turn the steering wheel to the left while driving backwards. That's what I'm used to. But in GW it doesn't work this way.

Is there a way to customize your controls to get reversed l/r while moving backwards?

Probably not.

I guess it just makes sense to me to work the way it does. I mean no matter what is going on, if you turn your character to the left, they look left. People don't have 4 wheels, usually.

As for the customizing option, I haven't seen it in the menu system, however since I wasn't looking for it, it might be there.

I would look through the key customizing list, there may be an option there.

l/r? I thought most people just set the l/r to strafe left/strafe right...

I never use the left/right turn key XD, that's what the mouse is for. Try using strafe and see if you get the same problems.
