Zoom out bug
I also have received this bug.
It happens when you leave the instance after completing an end boss of one of the worlds (the cages or the toad). This is because the game forces you to zoom out for the boss and then when you leave the instance it locks it that way.
The fix for me has been to exit the game completely and log back in. (going to character screen does not work).
Ok I will try that thanks. Hopefully anet will fix it soon or I can see it being abused.
Definately caused by leaving the instance at the end rather than waiting for you to be teleported to the next stage. Got this too by doing the same thing (it also made it so that I didn’t have access to the next level from stage select).
I wasn’t able to fix it by logging, but I didn’t try shutting down the game completely. Definately try that first.
My solution was to go complete another level in SAB and thankfully it fixed itself after that (once I let it transition me to the next stage as normal). It was rather terrible playing through the level with the crazy-zoom camera, though.
I have hit this too. Relogging didn’t fix it, but closing and reopening the game did.
Another trick is to go to the boss to get the camera zoom-out, then leave the boss area and the camera works normally again…. although it’s faster to just re-log. :P
How do I keep my camera that far back? To me it’s heaven when it happens. I can’t zoom out far enough.
