Guild Wars 2

Am I the only one who finds this frustrating?

After I die, I’m keep trying to see what’s going on around me, so I know if I should wait for a res or just go back to a waypoint. But every 2 seconds the camera insists on forcing my view away from what I am looking at, and I have to continuously wrestle with it.

It’s the single most annoying feature in a game I otherwise really enjoy.

Yeah it’s a pain in the kitten It’s like the game wants me to look at the floor. How do i turn Quasimodo view off?

It annoys me every single time. They did this in GW1 though and it was there in all of the over 5 years I played. Funny it did not bother me all that much there, but here it does.

Same, it annoys me too a lot.

For the very same reasons. To wait or not to wait….

Yes, +1; either make the camera keep still if the player has shown that they want to control it manually, or don’t let the player move the camera at all. Either of those would better serve whatever the design objectives are, the current solution is just a cause for frustration at a time where players are likely to be frustrated enough already.

P.S. Should this have been made a question thread? It’s a query of opinions and there’s no way to select a definitive answer… I thought the Q/A thing was for questions of factual info.

Probably not, but I honestly haven’t seen anyone else talk about the issue and really starting to wonder if it was just me who found it annoying.

Fallout 3, FNV etc did this on death, i’m used to it.

i like the fade-to-greyscale effect also.

I don’t mind the greyscale effect or anything else, just the repeated camera moving.

It’s like trying to watch something on TV and having an annoying sibling keep putting their hand in front of your face every few seconds and laughing. Sure, you can immediately knock their hand out of the way so you don’t miss too much, but it gets old very quickly when repeatedly done every few seconds.
