The interact key is such a mess. When I am next to the NPC or object I can’t interact with it if I am not positioning the camera the right way until an icon shows. How can gw2 make their interact key much better and that is since 2012. You go near the NPC the button shows right away. It should be based on range around the NPC/object and not on camera angle

The ui is perfect and the game is so good atm and we are paying for a good product.

Can’t target something “inside” a rock or tree?
Try using the /tar command to target the mob or item. Then the Interact key will work.
What I need is the interact key to show based on range around the npc/object and not on camera angle.
Far as i noticed it’s a bit redundant for the most part but in the case of, say, warlock portals it’s a godsend.
Anyway, only theory i got is that they pushed an early version of it like with everything else in the new ui and like many things so far, hopefully it’ll be fixed.
The interact key makes it even more accessible to to play with controller for those who want to play with one, far as I’ve heard the game even has official support for controllers now. (legacy control type when? :p)

Its a work in progress … Took only 18 years to add controller support.
Same as the UI still takes a lot of work
I noticed something new. The interact key can not distinguish very well between aoe loot and npc/object interaction. When my stuard is out and there is something to loot I want to take the loot 1st but the stupid camera angle keeps making me target the stuard. I turn the camera the stuard icon shows and until I noticed I have already clicked the interract key. And instead looting I am talking with the stuard. This is so a %#!%
I think the reason it’s done this way is to allow you to select what you are interacting with by aiming with your camera. To be honest, i dont feel it as a bad thing since i play with an Action Mode-like setup (like in Gw2 Action Mode - F12 func) through an addon i use and modified to suit my needs. Doing so, i always face what i want to interact with anyway, but i think i understand why it triggers you.
I do think too GW2 interact button is still better, but the fact we have it on Wow just helped so much with gameplay fluidity i can’t be mad at this.
I find it quite useful, although a little fiddly at times.
I’ve been using the existing Interact button for years and this is better. The old functionality where you had to do a /tar NPC before clicking still works but now I can loot corpses and click quest items (most of the time) quite well.
Perhaps it could be made a bit better, slightly longer range maybe.
next they add woodcutting and rock mineing
