This has been in the game forever, but just in case someone thought it was a feature and didn’t bring it up, I’ll report it for what it is; a bug:
During some boss fights the zoom is messed with. Sometimes it auto-zooms out, usually auto-zooms in. Either way, after the fight, the zoom stays how it was adulterated. This also can happen when you are downed (most often happens when downed during a boss fight).
I usually will have the zoom as far out as it will go, so I can see everything that’s going on with a fight. As an example, I was just at a Tequatl battle. When I left the battle, the zoom was as far in as it’ll go (so my toon’s head was filling half the screen). I then had to zoom out again.
It would be wonderful if this was fixed to either of these options:
1) don’t mess with people’s zoom. Maybe change the limits that they can zoom (such as when fighting lupi), but let them actually change it if they want.
2) when the person leaves the boss fight, change their zoom back to how they had it before it was messed with.
I know from experience that not everyone even knows you are able to zoom in/out. So if you are changing their zoom for them, they wouldn’t even know they could change it back. Then there are the countless times I’ve had to fix it just because the game messed with it. We aren’t watching a movie, we don’t need to be told when to do close-ups for visual effects.
I want a better gaming experience, and I hope you agree this would be a step towards that.
