Hello!
I’d like to suggest some more advanced camera options, like ‘follow terrain’. I Often encounter watching only the ground in front me, especially when walking up on a hill, or stairs… The ideal camera direction should be such that i can always see the further most part of the area in front of me, so i don’t run into a bunch of mobs without actually seeing them.

I know this ‘looking at the ground’ camera is to make it easier to place ground targeted spells, but it absolutely ruins the scenery of the game. As you mentioned in the Manifesto, you don’t want people to watch the interface, instead they should enjoy the fight. ~ This could be solved by adding an option to cast ground targeted spells right under the target (exactly how Elementalists’ Dragon’s Tooth, or Mesmers’ Feedback work)

Another thing about cameras. Its height. At short characters, or humans it’s not an issue. But Norns body cover most of the screen, the camera focuses on the middle of its back. @attachment
This problem is present at charrs too, except when they are running on 4 legs.

Please adjust camera height so the characters’ head is in the center of the screen. At the tiniest asura its also weird to look at things from such height
