Hello!

I love the new camera update but there is one thing that’s bugging me about it:

While in first camera view, there is no free camera. Holding down the left mouse button and looking around behaves exactly like the right mouse button.
I would like to be able to walk into one direction, but still look around in other directions, just like you can do in third person view.

While this doesn’t matter for taking screenshots or normal world exploring, it doesn’t allow for cool camera movments for movie making, and i would still have to stick with using consumables for fake first person like before the patch.

Ditto. I posted a thread about this before and it definitely detracts from the FPV experience.

IE:

Run around in the Charr starter zone in FPV. Go up to one of the mounds with a vista on top and run around the hill in FPV while glancing at the hillside, looking for a path up the hill.

Every time you glance towards the hill you turn into it and smash your face on the hillside. Anyone watching must be laughing themselves to death or thinking that you look like an idiot.

;)

I’m not having an issue with how the first-person camera works at all. I can do everything I want with it and walking while turning or looking backwards or sidewards works just fine for me.

I guess my years of playing First-Person Shooters finally comes in handy. I know how to deal with these type of controls.
