Character turning speed

[Kraggy]

Please, PLEASE can we have it like XI where when you turn a character round it moves at the same speed as when moving, unlike XIV where 'keyboard turning' is just painful, especially when trying to turn to target a mob in battle.

This isn't a game where the mouse is particularly useful I find, I can't use the mouse for movement like I can in other games like WOW, Rift, LOTRO, etc. because I can't remap buttons like I want to, so I play it keyboard-only like XI (except for occasional clicks to target when /targetnpc fails totally).

I like keyboard-only play, but turning is sooooooooooooo painful.

What do you mean, camera turning speed? I don't understand, our characters can turn really fast while still having a graceful motion. I use a controller turning is fast, it's the camera that can't keep up.

A good thing would be adding an instant camera pop behind your character. When I do a 180° turn, I press the button and the camera automatically gets behind my character. It would allow for faster reaction when monsters run everywhere!
(On the controller, I would map it to the current button for switching view and keep view switch on the keyboard instead)

I know exactly what he means, turning IN FIRST PERSON VIEW

First person view is very handy, I hope they dont fix this->... but in first person view, as long as you have the Auto Attack ok'd for a target, you dont need to face it to swing, where in 3rd person you must face it. If you do ever change that SE...... I will be very mad!

However, while in first person, turning is very very very slow

Could we have a button to make our characters do a 180? Atm, I have to change out of first person, tap the way i wanna face (and not have an action complete while im doing this, since they make you face your target in 3rd person) then quickly tap first person view. Would love to tap a button while in first person view and be facing the way i just came from.
