Guild Wars 2

I’ve been experiencing this bug for a while now, even after it was supposedly fixed, but I’ve only now figured out what is actually happening that causes it.

When you reach the boss at the end of Zone 1 and 2 the camera zooms way back, regardless of your previous level, so you can see the whole cage and the boss. It zooms farther back than the farthest you can normally zoom. This is fine, but if you leave SAB while at this zoom level the camera gets stuck there. Since it’s farther back than you can normall go you can’t zoom back in because slightly zoomed in from there is still outside the accepted zoom levels.

If you step out of the boss area so the camera zooms in again, or you wait to get to the next area where the camera is zoomed in, there is no problem. It is only when leaving SAB from the boss area that the camera gets stuck, and it stays stuck until you reboot. It may also go unstuck if you complete a Zone and let it transition to the next Zone, but that’s only useful if you intend to do more SAB.

Doing a world boss also fixes it.
