Guild Wars 2

No, I don’t have blasting staff traited. Try it yourself, you should see that the outside area of Healing Rain doesn’t proc the combo.

The Healing Rain combo field is too small. When you combo Healing Rain + Arcane Wave to get Area Healing, if you are too close to the edge of the Healing Rain area (but are still within it, and receive the Regen boon), you won’t get the combo.

The Healing Rain reticle consists of 5 concentric circles. If you are outside the 2nd largest circle (but still within the largest circle), the combo does not work. I don’t remember this being a problem until recently, but I may be wrong about that.

I don’t actually care about camera smoothing or acceleration, or the camera in WoW or any other game. The only point I was trying to make is that people who were not experiencing problems with the old camera are now experiencing problems. An option to change it back would have been nice, but you’re right, EverythingXen — those of us complaining are in the minority and I doubt ANet will do anything about it.

My understanding is that there are other problems with the camera besides smoothing. Hopefully ANet will address those problems soon, and maybe that will resolve the dizziness issue some of us are experiencing.

Idolicious.6091:

So, wait, a camera with no artificial lag makes you dizzy? I really don’t understand some of you who are complaining.

Different people are different. Why is this hard to understand?

Have you ever played any FPS (Battlefield, CoD, Doom, etc.)? Do those make you sick, too?
…
What’s the difference?

First, this is an MMO, not an FPS, and I kind of doubt that the CounterStrike camera is the same as the WoW camera. Second, I don’t know what the difference is, I just know that it is not good for some of us.

Edit: this was worded badly. What I meant to say is, I don’t know why I am having issues with the camera in this game but not in other games.

It is not just a personal preference for the old camera. The new camera makes me feel dizzy, and it sounds like I am not the only one experiencing this. It is not an FPS issue because the game almost always runs at a high FPS for me. A slider or toggle for camera smoothing would be ideal, since different people’s eyes/brains work differently.

Edit: I have played WoW, and the camera in that game is good. I am not sure how the camera in this game is different, but currently it is not good.

I agree with ZaneStriker and Evning. The new camera hurts my eyes and makes me feel dizzy now. Turning down the camera sensitivity doesn’t help and just makes it feel cumbersome.

I had no issues with the old camera (possibly because I was used to it from GW1?).
