Guild Wars 2

How do you turn it off?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/FOV-Field-of-View-Changes-Beta-Test-Feedback-Thread

When this was announced, I tried the beta switch. The first thing I noticed is the first ‘notch’ zoomed out from my character was too far away. I set it back, and am (was) very happy with the way it was originally (though, I have complained before that we needed ‘more’ notches between each camera position zooming in and out, but I digress).

After logging in after the patch, it’s like that change identified above is permanently on.

I do NOT like it, and would like to turn it off.

How do I do that?

Here is an example. The first image was taken at camera position 2 (rolled out once from as far as you can zoom in) awhile back. Notice how much of the screen the character fills up.

The second picture was taken after the patch. Same camera position. This is exactly what it looked like when I tried that FoV setting from beta they wanted us to try. I couldn’t stand it, so took the switch off my short cut.

Now we’re forced to have it?

And of course it corrupted the first file in the upload, I’ll try this:

Before…

And after…

(Hyperbole) That’s me way in the distance on the other side of the mountain.

I know it doesn’t look like much, but it’s too far away, and I don’t like it. Yes, sometimes I play a ‘2’ notches out, and it looks like that, maybe a bit further away (before the patch), but now there is ‘nothing’ between position 1 and 2, not to mention everything is kinda skewed looking.

So ‘everyone’ has to have these FoV changes? It was a switch before, how about an “-everythingwasfine” switch for those of us who would like to change it back?

Sweet, got an answer here . Tested. It works!

If anyone else noticed this and doesn’t like it.
