Mad king Zoom bug, please let it be a feature
So do I! At first I was like: “WOW did they finally fix the camera zoom?”. Unfortunately no.
Please no.
If I wanted to see the game like this I’d go play league of legends again instead.
And before you say it, yes I do realize that I can just zoom my screen in, but as was brought up in another thread, this would effectively be putting a handicap on myself because a lot of other people would be using the zoomed out view, which from my experience makes things a whole lot easier.

So what you’re saying is that you don’t like it and don’t want others to be able to use it because it creates an advantage that you’re not willing to use as well? This just seems a bit unfair don’t you think? I think it’s a great feature and if you choose to handicap yourself then that’s your choice. Don’t punish other users base on your personal preferences.

If the zoom out feature is disabled in spvp and wvw I would be ok with this.
Biggest problem I see with this is exploiting the camera to see more than you should. That video does a good job showing this exploit. As you see the camera zoomed way out you are actually able to see over the walls on the other side. This would cause problems in pvp and pve if you could see what’s coming long before you get there. Mostly in pvp situations. All you would need to do is zoom out to look over any walls and find the opposing team or players hiding out etc. You can pretty much imagine how that would turn out. There is a max camera zoom for a reason and I think if Anet made it zoom out any further it would cause problems and gameplay issues.
Meh, what problem and game-play issue i don’t get it…what about we fix the players swinging a sword and hitting other players behind a door? The word exploit is used too much today and for very poor reason.
Speaking about PVP, if you run with any semi decent guild you will be on TS, therefore you will know what’s coming regardless of what’s your effective line of sight is.
I don’t know which class/race you guys play, but i do love the ability to be more aware of the surrounding anyway, I don’t understand why u don’t?
Yeah, just keep the current limit for WvW/PvP, I don’t need an increase for PvE but I wouldn’t care then.
