Guild Wars 2

kurtosis.9526:

A couple pros and cons for this:

1. Love the new viewport, can actually see this beautiful world in all its glory now (esp with the post-Mad King dungeon bug, amazing).

2. Nice in WvW as well, can better see what’s going on around me.

3. Can’t see enemy weapon swaps as well, which makes for an interesting tradeoff – do I zoom in close to watch for weapon swaps to anticipate their next move, at the cost of having to pan and scan alot to maintain situational awareness? Or do I zoom out for better awareness at the cost of not catching a weapon swap as quickly as I might have?

So, I hope you guys keep it, and provide an FoV slider and longer range zoom, and let the players decide which they prioritize. There are tradeoffs to the wider FoV and zoom range, and allowing the choice still keeps things interesting and strategic.

Excellently put. So it was the post Mad King bug that hit me and I thought ArenaNet had finally done the right thing(((

ArenaNet, please increase the zoom. The gameplay is so much better. I am actually one of those players that will eventually stop playing if the zoom isnt optimal. its strenuos, especially when playing larger characters, like the Charr. They block your whole screen!!!

Please enable more zooming.

OMG, please make this standard – this is what i have been missing for so long. Why has it taken so long to get this through? It should have come standard with the launch of the game. Without it i am struggling to really immerse myself in the game-play. Wow and others definitely allow you to zoom out much further.

Please install permanently ASAP!!!
