Guild Wars 2

This can’t be right? the camera is almost past the shoulder height.

On norn rangers, when signet of the wild is activated, the camera angle shifts so high than the norn disappears from the screen!
It’s like a crazy birds eye view, please fix this, i’ve gone completely off playing my Norn characters.

Yep, I can confirm that it has been like this since the Feature Pack. It is pretty frustrating. I really hope it gets reverted to the old camera height. I too have basically stopped playing my Norn characters. I don’t usually play too zoomed out, so it annoys me quite a bit.

My Norn Elemental is the same…just above shoulder height when zoomed in all the way.

Oddly enough human female’s camera is set a few notches lower due to Feature Pack 2. Wanna trade camera heights? =P

The issue seems to still be there. I really hope this gets fixed.

I haven’t seen any difference in the camera positions of my norn. I wonder if it might be specific to certain resolutions. I run the game at 1920×1080, but sometimes windowed to be slightly smaller.

please fix this, its really annoying when I want to take nice screenshots of my characters, for every other race they fit perfectly in the frame, for Norn its WAY too high, doesn’t matter what height the character is, I’d really love to see it changed/fixed

I too play at 1920×1080, usually fullscreen, and I am clearly experiencing this issue.

Here are before and after examples. You can see just how much higher the camera seems to sit than it used to. It is now pretty hard to take good screenshots of my Norn characters.

Edit: Added a better comparison picture, taken in a more similar location to the original screenshot, without my helmet on.

It would make more sense to have the characters feet in the same place since that’s what actually matters when controlling it.

Oh wow, that’s a huge difference. You can barely even see your character now.

I am also experiencing this issue. Haven’t played my Norn in quite some time because of it. Would really like to have this fixed.

Branden Gee.2150:

Perhaps a toggle between ‘consistent feet placement’ and ‘consistent head placement’ would be a good compromise for this?

Seems like the ideal compromise.

Seems like the ideal compromise.

Or better yet a SLIDER with about 7 vertical positions to choose from just like the Horizontal camera position slider we already have. (But the game should remember different settings for different characters).

Btw asura camwra is too low. In wvw sometimes its a serious disadvantage

Or you can just add a vertical slider to the game, like the horizontal slider.

Instead of debating if it’s too high or too low then trying to justify it. Then while you’re at it you can separate the settings that come along with post processing and such into individual settings instead of being just a preset

If my asura stands too close to wall, I can’t see almost anything, 80% ground, 20% wall. It was a shock when I switched from norn to asura, as my norn can see names of enemies on wall just fine if standing in same location.

This still has not been fixed. The camera angle is still far too high.

Slider yes do it! Also, you can’t just ignore this.

Camera angle issues have been complained about from the very beginning, and Arenanet has completely ignored them.

I don’t think the devs understand the code well enough to even touch it.

The real issue to me is that it was changed from what it was. I would refer people to look at the screenshots in my previous post; the camera wasn’t always this high. Now it is harder to see red circles etc. on a Norn now unless you’re at max zoom, which sometimes isn’t easy or possible when you’re in more cluttered interiors, since the camera will collide with walls.

i know im late the party here, but i just came back from a hiatus of GW2 and this camera issue was the first thing i noticed, i cant play my norn with it as messed up as it is.
