Guild Wars 2

After fighting the Mad King (unfortunately solo) I mapped back to Lions Arch and my FoV was left much greater than the original size.

Travelling to The Heart Of The Mists the FoV remained the same, which of-course gives a person with this FoV a massive advantage in-game. I have not attempted to start a sPvP match because I do not wish to exploit this bug but I’m assuming other players may be playing with their FoV like this.

Me and my guildies got the same FoV right now… Seems like the result of the test that have been made last few days…
I m pretty sure that everybody got the same FoV now

So this is an intentional update?

Because this FoV was only triggered when going in to fight the Mad King. I didn’t have it before entering the instance.

I’m pretty sure this is just an update for everyone

I for hope they keep the max zoom at this distance. I like being able to see what’s around me sometime. The only thing that would make this better would being able to zoom all the way into 1st person mode from waaaay out. It was very convenient in GW1 to have that ability.

My friend who has not entered the instance does not have the FoV change which is making me question if this is intentional or not.

Now you mention that… Ok, let’s just wait a confirmation from Anet about this…

PS: But i ve got to say one thing, this new FoV is really better than the previous/actual one

For your information, that’s not a greater FoV (Field of View), that’s just a higher limit for how far you are allowed to zoom out the camera. While still a possible PvP exploit, it has /nothing/ to do with FoV.

I want a response aswell and it makes me a bit apprehensive to play PvP right now knowing that those who went to the dungeon instance have this FoV change.

This is the best gift possible for Halloween, people who previously had motion sickness from the close zoom level could start playing again.

This happened before I set my game to the new FOV setting, but after I set it to FOV, this problem went away.

Agree, i think it is really great.

So many people here are making false assumption… it’s incredible. I agree with Damian.

This is not FOV related, this is a bugged Boss camera mode that did not reset after leaving Mad King dungeon.

Those who fought Dragons and Swamp, will know this camera mode.

So /facepalm.

Yep. Many people here mistake Zoom and FoV.

Yeah…Dont know about any of you guys but my camera is all over the place now. Was doing AC and trying to navigate it was aweful. Camera was zooming in and out at random times (especially when i got near a wall or pillar or something, and it was very jerky and wild.

I sure hope this is a bug and they fix it.

I like this camera range and hope it stays. Maybe add a slider for max/min camera distance in the options?

I have the same things but I am BEGGING ANet to leave it this way…it has made things so much better being able to zoom out.
