Just FYI - we've been able to for the past week due to the new addon. The max I've heard someone play with is 70 yards, and that was just to see if he could. Everyone who downloaded and used the addon that I've spoken to and asked haven't gone above 50 yards for comfortable play - which pretty much disproves the entire "WHATEVER THE MAX IS, PLAYERS WOULD USE THAT FOR ADVANTAGE!"-bullshit that Watcher has been clinging to. We have the ability to zoom out as far as we could ever want right now - and we're sticking to what we're *used to*, because it's comfortable, advantage notwithstanding.
Protests in CA against the floods of player tears damagaing the streets and local infrastructure has caused authorities to issue mandates for MMO service providers to adhere to camera zoom demands.
Clearly a victory for the little man today!

"Corrected an issue that would cause Hans'gar and Franzok to reset when a player outside the encounter area was targeted by Body Slam."
Took them long enough...that bug has been reported since what...like over a year ago?
Why no, people don't just like Sylvie for T&A: https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...ery-Cinematic/
I knew they'd fix that bug with the camera, but at least we're getting a compromise
you can do that, you're still wrong though, that's why an addon gained such big attention and made blizzard back down again and give us more distance with our cameras.
and whats with if raiders could, no we need to see what we're doing, are you a non-raider telling raiders how they should play?
Good on blizzard. The people that don't like it don't have to use it.
aren't those casuals the ones paying me for their heroic/mythic archimonde boost because they're not good enough to kill it, or don't even try or just give up half way through HFC normal?
your point is fucking ridiculous because people may be ignorant and don't know things about the game others should have things removed/nerfed to these "casual wow players"
yeh some casuals won't step foot in a raid, some won't bother with the legendary questline, some won't upgrade their gear, some won't do pet battles, lets remove everything these casuals don't do bring the raiders down to their level, sounds like a disaster.

but but but, we're ruining their gaming experience by being better than them with more camera distance
The limit was always 50, not knowing the command pretty much just means you didn't need it in the first place.
And instead of giving everyone the knowledge or the possibility to raise their maxCdistance, enjoying the qol upgrade, they catered to the uninformed/handicapped, punishing those who have the knowledge/capabilities.
It's like taxing the rich more because the majority don't want to put in the effort to learn a new/efficient way of making money, or they don't care.
tl:dr: step up your game instead of complaining about those who did

yeh i'm not going to discuss the thousands of decisions where the playerbase is wrong/right and the same with blizzard, this is about the camera distance and like flying the playerbase is right, you don't remove things for dumb reasons, maybe if blizzard played the game to a good standard they would realise why it matters, and thats melee fighting a boss thats 50ft tall and just completely obscures your view of everything, it's not skill when you can't see anything, and flying was basically "promised" and it's expected and i think blizzard just got lazy and couldn't be bothered to add it, so they could work more on legion, well blizzard need to get a slap on the ass when they're naughty and the playerbase don't let them get away with bad/lazy decisions.
of course there are many who would just play the game and never complain, those are the sheep that should never talk to anyone on mmo-c if you think blizzard should be able to just change whatever they want and we should just be happy and accept it thats stupid. criticism is required and sometimes blizzard doesn't listen, well a lot of the times blizzard don't thats why class balance often gets so terrible, so we have to resort to extremes to be heard.
Thank...the good...lord....

If that's true its pretty disingenuous to try to come up with some other reason for reducing the max distance you can zoom out.
Or in.
PoV camera on m Manno and Archie is fun.
Not really competitive tho.
Anyhow, Blizzard did the right thing.
Things like camera/vision in games needs to be properly discussed before being randomly changed to some random number.
Not only does is impact the feel of the world (No, I don't see WoW as a character driven MMO, I view it as a world driven MMO), it can cause big displeasure and even health issues just changing it.
They should change encounters/spells to show their resolution to the advantage that more vision would give, not the zooming out itself.
