Guild Wars 2

Currently, jumping into the mad king dungeon allows a player to zoom out significantly farther until they log out.

Finally, the game is fun instead of annoying to play. I can actually see the battlefield around me. I can use siege equipment the way it was meant to.

I’m dreading the end of the event because I’ll have to play with the horrible claustrophobic (did i spell that right?) zoomed-in view again. The force-zoomed view has been making it hard to like this game since I started playing.

Please consider allowing us to permanently keep this zoom-out range.

i agree my camera my veiw ifin ya please.

Eh… what? Could you elaborate on that please?

What Poe is saying is that he agrees. It’s his camera, he should be able to set it to his view. And yeah, this is a great idea. You can always zoom it in if you want.

The one big downside with zooming out too far, is that as a ranger, I can already lay traps and barrage in WvW on top of towers and gates. If you give people room to place ground targeted AoE in more creative places, it could easily get exploited or get out of hand.

Agree, maybe 1-2 scroll ticks less but, yes please

+1 for infinite zoom out and camera not rendering things near lens objects (walking in the forest maybe a pain at times . )

No… The zoom distance takes away a lot of the gaming element in the game that its barely a 3d game.

It becomes more like diablo 3 with wasd….

You cant even see the cue from monsters and players’ skills with that distance, and it also kills the details of the modeling because of the distance.

I understand its great to be able to play this game on top view like lol or d3, but long term wise it will kill the gameplay and immersion.

I think what people are talking about is being able to zoom out farther than we can now. That won’t impact being able to zoom in close – it just means that people who like zooming out will be able to. If you want to stay in close you can, other people are just asking for their favorite zoom distance to be supported also.

It would be nice to be able to zoom out more when just moving around, then quickly scroll back in for combat. This game does feel too closed in. You can’t enjoy your surroundings or see what’s around you as easily as in Guild Wars 1. I understand they did it this way for combat reasons but we should have the option to adjust the camera to our comfort level and just adjust it on the fly as needed.
