Guild Wars 2

A while ago there was a glitch that gave people the ability to zoom out further.
It made arrow cards horribly OP, i realy don’t want to go back to that.

In addition, if you could zoom way out, the jumping puzzle you are fighting so hard to beat would become much clearer (this is to state that I think it’s a bad idea).

Well, it would seem that if certain boss fights allow you to zoom out farther, then they could easily restrict the amount of zoom in PvP, WvW, and jumping puzzle areas. Why should the rest of the PvE world be punished by this?

I like playing with the camera angles and zooms, I would love to have a super zoom out similar to what we used to get on jade maw making the game look like diablo

I would really, really, really like to be able to zoom my camera out further, and not just one the few boss fights that do it for you automatically. Can we please make this happen?

would be great!

that seems like a silly reason to think that an option for camera zoom is a bad idea.

equal zoom out won’t break the game. no reason to punish any play mode.

Adding a line of sight requirement would make them just as useless as ballistas.

kittening up a whole game mode for something that no one has yet put a real reason for needing is silly.

I think this is a great idea for both practical and aesthetic reasons. I hate it when I’m being attacked by something and I can’t see any of it above the waist. Kind of gross tbh.

I love this idea.

And arrow carts could be adjusted with a maximum distance the AoE can be placed from the arrow cart. No line of sight needed, the AoE just needs to be within a certain distance.

Jumping puzzles won’t change as you need to zoom in on some parts.

The only place I can think of that would get a problem from an increased camera zoom would be PvP because it would increase the field of view making it so you can see all around you at all times.

I agree the zoom out needs to be increased.

Being able to see the world around you would be great.

Solve the arrow cart problem with limiting the range allowed.

you used to be able to lock your camera like this by exiting SAB right after the king toad (without waiting to be taken to the next map).

it allows engis to kill any wall based siege, the things even meteor cant reach, cuz you can get the walltop in your field of view. it allow acs to see over walls into the courtyard beyond. pretty broken in wvw.
