Legion - Max Camera Distance Reduction

[Alcsaar]

Just another company making design changes from the perspective of developers, instead of from the perspective of what an actual player experiences.

A dissapointment.

If you wanted to have maximum situational awareness (you want this while progress raiding mythic) - you would most likely run with this command. If not, you'd have less situational awareness than others and be at a disadvantage. Maybe it's not a big disadvantage, but it certianly is a disadvantage.

So, change the menu slider to the real maximum and problem solved? And people who run WoW on a potato need to tune down spell effects and don't see them right away... so take away the option to make spell effects more visible?

While I am kinda disappointed. I understand their reasoning. Much like FPS games cap their FOV. This is pretty much the exact thing.

Yeah... for each of them you find a thingy to uncap it. And most FPS go up to what? 90 to 140?
But WoW already has 360 fov because it's third person, it's about the range you see. And if you start too see less distance than you can actually heal/attack there is a problem, which people have demonstated happens! You can attack/heal off-screen.

nice , now i can see my ugly armor and not see from where enemies are attacking me
can't wait till wow camera its like gears of war

[kamuimac]

good change - next step should be disabling dbm / weak auras / exorussu tool and all that shit giving people advantage they shouldnt have in first place

[Domeek]

Unfair advantage? Really? Any serious raider that didn't know about this never needed increased camera distance. Instead of these unnecessary fixes blizz should check camera on boss fights like Tectus.

[RippedLife]

honestly I have no words, just a plain stupid change to make this game more console friendly again. Its gonna happen sooner or later.

[otro]

So now I must raid staring at a toe instead of a knee?

FOH blizzard

Hands down the stupidest change they've ever made, with the worst possible reason given for it.

It's like not offering manual transmission cars anymore because people who drive automatics don't like it. Wrong. They don't fucking care. WE DO

He also just told us to use hacks to get it back. What a fucking goofball. Fire this idiot and revert this change

[Bobblefet]

lol. The entire post is just "Ok, you guys arent gonna like it, but we don't care cause some people don't know what they missing so fuck you".

From Uk. For 3 days every hour one bad news after another. This is precisely what i was hoping when I turned off TV News and came to find out some Wow news on MMO. Thanks for making my day brighter!

They want us to actualy see the art and animations they've made, not have a character look like a dot on the screen. I can get fully behind that and I will even say after testing today with "close range" camera- I liked it alot better. Sure less overview but it's just habitt.

Or the bads could learn how to handle the Curse client...since when should the game be restricted with the lowest common denominator in mind? Does that REALLY make for the best experience over having options depending on your playstyle?

Perhaps they'll remove PVP soon, since it's impossible to balance it considering the good will ALWAYS have an advantage over the bads...

I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you...

In that case they should remove every option but ultra, because otherwise you see a poor quality piece of shit....

I can admire their art and animations when I'm playing solo content but in a environment where I want awareness of what is happening, I don't give a single flying fuck about their art and animations.

the change on its own is not really a big deal, and as you say we will all get used to it quickly. the problem is that the "unfair advantage" argument can be used on a lot more stuff, namely ui addons, dbm or weakauras, and that really scares me.

[Primoris]

Poll should of had a third option "No but i would of if i had known it was possible"

Should have, Would have

[Daswolfen]

We strongly believe that there needs to be parity in this area between players who are using the default UI and those who have addons or knowledge of hidden console variables

Once again, PVP ruins PVE

[Queen of Hamsters]

Okay yeah, let's go ahead and try to enforce player parity.

30 FPS hardcap when?
Mandatory 1024x768 resolution when?
Non-modular graphics when?
Removal of add-ons when?
Deletion of all third-party helper sites when?

Not to mention connection. Someone with a shitty connection and 300 MS home and World is CLEARLY at a disadvantage against those that have below 50 ms. Hell, those with 50 MS are probably at some sort of disadvantage compared to those with below 10! I reckon a hardcap of 350 MS just to be sure!

[Thontor]

I answered yes to the poll, but I have no problem with this option being removed. Especially since they are increasing the distance the slider moves the camera. I realize it's not as far, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.

[Magnagarde]

They need to realize that making changes for the sake of just making them and cramming that chanelog up to make it look like they've been busy working isn't always a good idea.
