I used to be able to zoom my camera right up to my character’s face/bust; but now at maximum zoom I can still see my character’s feet! I hope this is not intentional.

Unable to zoom in camera as far as normal

My friends can’t reproduce the issue so it must not be intentional/widespread. I’m away from my client right now but I encountered this during/after the fight with the Legendary Searing Effigy in Citadel of Flame Path 1. This encounter regularly produces a couple of movement/control bugs for me and my regular groupmates.

Here is a sequence of what happened to me last night:
1. Began fight with the Effigy.

2. Encountered a bug where it’s not possible to switch weapons without entering a transformation or unequipping/re-equipping weapons.

  • When this is happening, the weapon swap icon appears as if it is being held down but does not respond to its keybind or mouse clicks.
  • This is a common complaint during this fight, usually affecting at least one person per run.

3. I Entered Lich Form.

  • Note: Lich Form forces your camera to zoom out.
  • When I exited Lich Form, I was able to switch weapons again.

4. Encountered a bug where my character was completely unable to move or turn.

  • WASD, dodge commands, etc. are totally unresponsive when this happens.
  • The only way to get out of this bug is to be crowd controlled, use a waypoint, or otherwise exit the map (log out/character select/etc.)

5. Defeated the Effigy and completed the dungeon path.

Since I hit a couple of different bugs within a single 5-minute encounter, I think it’s likely my client got into a bad state where my camera zoom thresholds did not go back to normal after exiting Lich Form. What’s particularly odd (and why I didn’t originally make the connection to the Effigy fight) was that the restricted minimum zoom distance persisted even after I switched characters several times.

Sorry for my vague initial post, I hope this is more helpful.

Noticed today (in the middle of playing) that my camera would no longer zoom in to its maximum but will zoom out past its norm. Wasn’t this way yesterday or 30mins before I noticed either. The fact that it happened mid-fight made me wonder if it was just me.

Is there some way to correct this that I’m not seeing?

Sorry I keep replying to myself. I’ve been monitoring my COF path 1 runs more closely and I’ve pinpointed that my camera will always bug out after the cutscene right before the Legendary Searing Effigy end boss. As described previously, I won’t be able to zoom in as far as normal, and the only way to fix it is to restart my client.

Bobby: Do you run COF path 1? If so, do you notice the bug immediately after the cutscene I described? If not, can you pinpoint any particular content you run regularly that causes it?
