Guild Wars 2

Automatically zooming out camera during some events / battles is bad.

Basically, I understand the idea of giving us more distance, so we can see more, but it doesn’t really help. Some battles makes my camera so far away, that I don’t even see my character and it’s really hard to dodge anything. It requires additional scrolling to fight with camera (like boss is not enought).

Just few examples, when it completly breaks experience:
- Snowblind Fractal and Elemental Source encounter. This battle zooms out my camera so much, that it’s almost impossible to see my character. Also when the blizzard starts, nothing on the floor is visible at all! When I zoom in camera to the closest possible range (which is still something like normal max range of the camera), I can see the ground under me.
- Solid Oceanic Fractal – during Jade Maw encounter, when the camera is at max range, red skulls are not visible over my character. I’m also zooming it in to the normal range.

These are the most obvious examples, there is more ofc.

Suggestion:
1. Add checkbox in settings menu, so we can turn it on / off.
- When turned off, we can zoom it out manually if we want to, but it doesn’t change automatically when entering the boss zone.

2. Increase max distance of the camera.
- We can zoom it in and out freely whenever we want and it doesn’t change at all.

You can read everything on this forums lol.I have solution for you,its something i do when my camera is zoomed out during bosses.What i do is i zoom back in.You should try it it really helps.

Your statement makes me even more sure that it should be at least optional. You are doing additional work to fix something by yourself that is broken.
