Guild Wars 2

I would much appreciate it if you guys would remove the spinning thing when you’re dead. I wanna watch my team mates without having to constantly fight against the camera.

I agree, I swear this didn’t used to happen though, when did it start forcing the camera to turn even when I right click?

It started good, then they botched it, then they fixed it, recently they botched it, and now were waiting for them to fix it again.

This issue is still pending as developers are currently busy making more minis and outfits instead.

Here’s a recent Dev response to the issue:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Camera-moves-when-you-are-dead/first#post4453846

(They are aware of the ‘bug’ and working on it.)

This idea seems to come up a lot, that “thing I don’t like” is distracting the devs from “thing I do like,” and it’s only sometimes applicable. The developers who make minis and outfits aren’t the same developers that do programming bugs and camera controls.

well,.. a dev posted on the same subject some time ago and he was already on something but the spinning will not be removed, it will be tweaked. If only the forum search works I would share it. Just think about it as your character confused because he is dying.

Am I the only one who read: “It started out as a corpse… and now it’s a corpse again.”

The best part is it used to be like this then they fixed it back in March of 2013

Here is the patch note from March 26, 2013:

• Automatic camera rotation while defeated will no longer restart after the camera is moved.

People didn’t like how it was (which happens to be how it is now, again) so they fixed it. Something happened and the original disliked death cam was restored.

No no no. You’ll die, and you’ll leave a dumb corpse!
