Guild Wars 2

Wondering if someone can point me to information on when we can expect a return of High Resolution screenshots. I know they took the option away because they bugged, but I hope it’s high on their list. I use screens a lot in my art as well as in guild forums and guild publicity.

Only asking cause the game camera kinda stinks and I can’t zoom in on my characters enough OR it zooms in on their crotch or above their head. I await the day I can get quality head shots again.

not only headshots. first person view… , close up shots…. high quality screenshots no matter what your settings are….

Totally BlakThornArrow!

The lack of first person and close up capabilities is what I meant by “the game camera stinks”.

Also, the original High Res screens took pictures at a dpi much much much beyond maximum setting, including super-sample regardless of the settings you used. It EVEN automatically hid the interface! I was so looking forward to it after BWE2. It’s a serious step in the right direction for graphic enthusiasts… which I hope everyone will be able to be in the future because the game is effing gorgeous!

I’m stuck using special pixel density increasing software (like Genuine Fractals) to blow up my characters for publicity adverts, biographies and albums. I can run max settings for the purpose of taking the screens but it’s no where near close to the option they had before launch

I would also like to know if anet have said anything about this.
The forums’ search function is god-awful so I couldn’t find anything there.

The amount of screenshots I took dropped by a whole lot when the high-res screenshots option was removed. Literally half of my screenshots are the high-res screenshots, even though all of those were taken only during the first BWEs.

I loved the High-Res Screenshots — they were so amazing I was completely surprised they didn’t have it at launch. The bugs were minor compared to how wonderful and useful they were. I really, really, really, really, REALLY would like to see them back, asap.

I play on the lowest settings, and having to go into settings every time you want to take a screenshot is time-consuming and annoying. Not to mention, if you wanted a close-up of your character it was so much easier to do so because of the size of the image.

Darn straight.

Also, I appreciate the removal of this option simply because it was bugged. They don’t have to make it perfect though! Settings like postprocessing and supersampling WARN users if it’s for “high end graphics cards” only. Before ANet released an update close to launch (it was already supposed to be compatibile) my computer would crash immediately if I even selected a drop-down menu in graphics options. They fixed that soon enough.

@ ANet: Please let us know when you plan to return this beloved feature to us, or at least that you have it in your sights. Please don’t scrap the hard work you did implementing this amazing boon in the BWEs

I hope somehow everyone has access to this feature when it returns, but it’s likely it will cause problems on some machines… but it’s an optional feature, and no reason to deny it to everyone.

I’d also like this back in-game!

ETA from the devs would be nice.
