For aoe classes the current system gives you precise control over it. So no , the action cam has adv and disadvantages. Just like the current standard.
I believe Action Camera reduces how much you can see behind you compared to Normal Camera.
I don’t think something like this will be restricted in SPvP at all, rather as a toggled option it serves only to benefit everyone who wants to use it, or chooses not to much like how players choose to avoid autotargetting, or set up different options for Ground-Targetting.

There is a toggleable keyboard which can allow you to place your Ground Targetable skills wherever you like in action combat mode.
Not at the same precision and speed of the standard system.
isn’t this mode disadvantageous because you cant look behind without turning the character?
That mode will be great in noobs vs noobs (wvw) but i cannot imagine using it in spvp.
I like how you can instantly say it’s better, as a pure fact, when you didn’t even get to try it yet, nor see it in a pvp environment.
How can you take yourself seriously saying things like that.

I’m not so sure. I believe it’ll depend on the player, ground targeted skill & combination of settings. So long as Right Mouse can be bounded, I see this as a great option for right click (just like scopes in FPS) with binding the targetting to another position.

Wouldn’t you still be able to use the look behind keybind to cover this so long you still moved in the forward direction. This plus camera position should cover an of these issues. The question is how it would interact with look behind:

if you’re talking about the mod it’s really nice for full melee characters. i run it almost exclusively for warrior.
Based on what we saw i can only see action camera as more of a hinderance to true mobility and responsiveness. It can make targetting in pve easier and some pvp. But overall its like ur a bit more locked in forward angle, less able to react to what can happen 180 degrees behind u, which works against true awareness around u for new players.
Other than that its a nice addition to combat and will be loved by many.
I really want this feature to work well in pvp as it looks like a much more fun and intuitive way to play/target and as an engineer looking to avoid carpal tunnel it’s a dream come true. However I strongly suspect it will be much more effective to use the traditional targeting system given the way pvp fights work, especially if you need to kite the way an engineer can. I am really looking forward to seeing if I can make this work though and it will give pve a new lease of life!

Funny isn’t this more like us humans unable to observe what’s 180 degrees behind us without looking. Okay but I think this still has yet to be seen how much of an effect it has & does it’s benefits out weigh it’s disadvantages. At this stage with my game play I see major advantages.
Regarding the 180 degrees behind you I would be interested in how Action Camera Mode interacts with look behind & 180 degree turn. It’s also important to note when in action mode running backwards doesn’t reduce your speed. Meaning you can still look behind yourself without any negative impact to your movement speed in any direction which greatly improves mobility as a whole.

Yeah, that’s the feature I’m most interested in with the new camera. It could really compensate some of the disadvantages this mode have. I believe it could work for a melee warrior or scrapper.
