Guild Wars 2

I am not sure if I should be posting here or in tech, but is there anyway to increase my FOV in GW2 because right now the camera feels quite narrow.

Nope, there’s no way to increase the FOV, and Anet will not be providing a fix. Jon Peters responded to this last week and presented a number of reasons why, none of which made sense to most of us. If you search some of the other forums you’ll find many posts related to the FOV issue. It’s been a complaint since at least BWE2.

It’s a strange position to take considering the number of people who have requested an FOV fix. Technically I would have expected this to be one of the easier fixes to address in a modern game, and I’m completely at a loss to understand Anet’s explanation.

I’m here in forums looking for an FOV update, because I’m hardly in game any more due to the FOV. It’s just not an enjoyable experience with the current FOV.

The programmers did say in the recent AMAA on reddit, that they have heard the community on the FOV thing, and they are looking into it, but apparently the process involves a bit more than just hacking in a slider. Take my words with a grain of salt as my memory tends to slip, but as far as I remember, that’s what they said, that they are working on it.

EDIT: I am referring to this post http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/11mz4k/i_am_a_programmer_for_guild_wars_2_amaa/c6nxnfg

FOV already changes when fighting large foes (dragons and the like), so it’s doable just not permitted.

Methinks its another instance where PvE suffers for PvP.

Remember that increasing fov Can lower fps aswell.
