Guild Wars 2

Yes, I get the concept of it, but I would like to be able to actually watch the combat happening around me.

I think it should be disabled completely in PvE, but enebled exclusively, such that you can’t mouse look at all, in WvW and PvP.

its just annoying period…and it makes me dizzy while im waiting for my friends to kill the enemies so they can rez me.

It’s probably to stop dead people being spy cameras.

This +1. I can’t stand it. :c

I think it’s a cool effect if you’re idle, but when you really want to watch something while you’re dead the camera just taking off as soon as you let go of it becomes a huge annoyance when the point of it seems to just be adding flavor to the game.

I think the automatic camera movement should just be disabled after you have manually moved the camera—or at the very least, a longer wait period before auto camera takes over.

Except it doesn’t stop that at all since you can still look where you please when you want to.

I’m pretty sure it’s a bug not a feature.

That’s why I think it should be disabled only for PvE, and mouse look while dead should be disabled in PvP and WvW. That way in dungeons, or out in the world, where it doesn’t matter you can look at what you want, and don’t have to keep wiggling the mouse to make it stay, but in seiges you are stuck looking at what the game shows you and not “troop movements.”

Agree completely, the spinning camera is beyond irritating!

As for WvWs/PvP, players dead can still move the camera to continue spying, I`d prefer the map just to open instantly when a player is downed as they can still see green dots nearby to know of a possibility of getting a res.

In Guild Wars, when dead the camera would spin, until you moved the mouse & then that was it, the camera would just sit exactly where you put it.
Why the hell they ever decided on a permanently resetting, re-spinning one is beyond me.

This is especially worse due to playing a huge Charr wherein if I am downed anywhere near a wall, building, blade of grass, the majority of the time I see inside my body until I move the camera, only for it to be reset every other second :$

Get rid of it. It is annoying.

agree it is really annoying

aye, there should be an option to freeze it where u want or stop it completely

Can’t Anet make enemies out of combat invisible? That way you can watch your team fight without communicating the positions of enemies not fighting to your team.

So true! I’m already dead why wanting to punish me more by giving me motion sickness?

Already a thread, please add your voice to it. “I get it… I’m dead”. I think thats what it was named.

Reason I’m saying to add your voice THERE, is that a DEV already replied to it.

I haven’t tried it so I don’t know, has anyone tried checking the box for free camera movement. It would mean that the camera would not snap back to “follow” you and you have manual control of the camera, but would that stop the rotating death cam?

Agreed. Most annoying thing in the world.

It’s locked, your post is invalid. Some of us do, in fact, use the search feature.

If they aren’t going to fully remove the spinning camera, at least give us an option to opt out of it. Like with dodge roll….

I’d also like to see an option to disable this. Sure it’s an ok feature sometimes but when you’re in a dungeon dead (and no waypoints) it can be a pain when all you can do is watch the combat. Especially when suddenly NOPE I’m a camera and I’m panning away from what you’re watching.

Id rather just have the ability to watch my party members fight back since that was in GW1

Motion seconded. I could see a point in this if it wasn’t totally circumventable by using the mouse, but given the fact that you can direct what you want to see, I’m inclined to believe this is more for aesthetics than anything. And in that regard, it’s only annoying.

Please get rid of this feature. I’d like to be able to tell is help is fighting it’s way to me to decide to wait or to release. Plus it just makes me a bit ill.

Rotating Death Camera is extremely annoying, i agree it needs to be changed, at the least make it so that if we manipulate the camera…IT STAYS THERE, and doesnt begin rotating again shortly after
