Guild Wars 2

Is it me or is nobody else having issues with the camera sometimes. Especially in tight corners and small JPs like Scavenger’s Chasm. Where the zooming is erratic because you happened to walk behind a stalagmite. Is there no way to have the camera just ignore collision like you find in every single other game out there?

One minute I’m at the normal maximum zoom out. Mid jump trying to find the platform, the camera is completely looking at the bare skin of my back as I’m falling because it’s forced into an incredibly difficult zoom in because I happen to have passed a solid object along the camera’s viewing angle.

Please. Just make the camera NOT do this. I’m surprised I do not see a single post out there complaining about this kind of issue. It’s normally always been a minor thorn, but trying to do some JPs, this makes it completely luck and guess.

I think most of us have long ago given up on them ever fixing this. The Super Adventure Box was supposedly designed to try to avoid camera issues like this, but I doubt they’ll go back and fix the content like this that has been broken since launch.

But who knows, maybe your post will be the one that gets them to make the camera usable, not randomly zoom in and out, and not only want to look at the ground.

There have been countless and very long topics on the buggy camera. But many of them have become buried in the forum. But it is good that people keep bringing it up again. Because maybe the issue will then eventually be addressed.

Every once in a while this topic comes up and honestly, after almost a year since release, I have effectively given up hope that these issues will ever be fixed.

It’s a hard thing to say, but either ArenaNet can’t be bothered, or their teams are just too busy doing living story content with little investment in fixing old bugs like this. Perhaps it’s just too big an undertaking. I don’t know.

The majority of players doesn’t seem to be very vocal about the camera bugs and lack of camera options on the forums. There’s a strong vocal minority, and that unfortunately gives the developers a very false perception of how irritating possibly large scale these issues really are.
