I think I recall comments like this back near launch, how people wanted to capture the landscape without the character being seen, and the closest they came up with was having the character /sleep then zooming in as close as possible. ArenaNet has said that they don’t want to make a first-person view because they feel seeing the character is important, but I guess there are other ways to deal with the issue.
Random thoughts:
*I do know there is a way to remove the UI, but I don’t know how off-hand.
*Perhaps one day, an inventor can come up with some kind of camera to take photographs. It could be a fun device you just pull out and take random snapshots of the world. It could even have a scavenger hunt element to it, like photograph certain landmarks, or the different enemies. That would certainly be a way to re-introduce the information books from the betas: a photo of the bandits will give a lore-dump on their motives.
*I have to admit, while the landscape is very pretty there, I’m not exactly certain what you’re trying to capture in that specific screenshot. It might be artistic; I admit I don’t truly appreciate some of the photographic art out there.
You said everything I said but in better words than I ever could have, so, I thank you for spending your time on completing my “suggestion”. And ofc, I agree on everything you said
On a minor note, I tried to snap shot the Moon xD (I LOVE “night art”).
I am such a big fan of this type of “Art” that GW2 have. The soundtrack, the story’s script, The Vistas, the environment, is all beautiful. But, it quite bugs me not having a more “professional” way to “print screen” some random moments on the environment itself. I mean, the Vistas is awesome but there is also others “awesome” “pictures” that you may find at total random while you are walking towards a Quest. I am simply asking the consideration of creating some sort of “print screen” where it will only take “the part of the environment you are seeing”. I have taken some screen shot to help me exemplify my argument. I hope you all understand what I am asking, if not, let me know.
I know this is a small thing, and irrelevant thing to ask, but maybe to you, I take Art on Gaming a little bit too serious, and I feel such a waste of not able to take full advantage of these beautiful random moments.
PS: If I am the only one who thinks like this, I will understand the denying of this “idea” (if you can call it like that)..
