Tinker.6924 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Is there a way to prevent the camera zoom from automatically changing in combat? I notice this mostly in boss fights where I want to keep as wide a view as possible to see mechanics but then something happens and suddenly the camera is zoomed in dramatically requiring me to zoom out again. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batel.9206 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Sadly, no. It's been a repeated request to stop having the camera auto-zoom during world boss fights, but there's no indication ArenaNet has seen those requests, and there is no option to turn it off. 😞 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega.6801 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Jup, it's a sad story. So far ANet hasn't even acknowledged the reports/threads/requests. 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, there isn't. I have no idea why the programmers thought it would be a great idea to set an auto-zoom at several fight occasions (e.g., everytime you respawn on the main Deimos platform in Wing 4 after doing the chains part). It's super annoying to have to correct the zoom manually. Edit: The person who gave me a reaction obviously enjoys to have to manually correct the zoom factor all the time. 😂 Edited August 19, 2022 by Ashantara.8731 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, a dev worked on the camera options and on camera-zoom a few years ago in 2015 and he also shared some of his obstacles in doing so in the forum with collision-detection of the camera etc. and he also was asking players for their opinion about how the camera zoom and camera collision detection should work. However, it was seen as a "first step" but I guess the dev later on was assigned with other tasks (or was no longer working at Anet) and no one else at Anet cared about this topic enough to further work on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatihso.7258 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) "the camera is zoomed in dramatically requiring me to zoom out again." This has been one of the evercoming issues players have been asking to be fixed for years. Hopefully with the attention being on client performance recently, they will also get this sorted.

SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Turn Zoom Sensetivity and the way up (to the right) and it'll be much more subtle. Edited August 27, 2022 by Mariyuuna.6508 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an unending number of cases this applies to in the game. It's actually absurd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) I should clarify on my earlier post: Turn your Collision Sensetivity and Zoom Sensetivity all the way up, not all the way down, which might seem confusing to some.

AliamRationem.5172 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Yeah, that kitten is annoying. What kind of "feature" takes control of your camera like that? It happens a bunch in the DE meta, too. I'm having to zoom my camera out over and over again. Wish they'd fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just ran through Teq and still zoom-in, zoom-out, zoom-in, zoom-out, ugh. Also, already got Collision Sensitivity, Zoom Sensitivity, and Field of View all the way to the right. I'm glad I don't motion sickness -- bet my brother couldn't play for more than a few minutes in a boss fight. Yes, that module only helps partially. Doesn't stay zoomed out all the time.

It wasn't always like this. 😕 This wasn't a problem at launch. One of the later patches changed it to the current behavior and we have been stuck with it.
