First-person Camera

Zooming in all the way will allow players to experience a first-person view. First-person mode is available while standing in place, walking, running, jumping, playing PvP and just about anything else. There aren’t any restrictions on where first-person can be used.

Field of View

A much requested feature, the field of view slider is a setting that will allow players to adjust how much can be seen in the game world. Players can use a slider to shrink or enlarge the field of view.

Position Slider

The Position Slider has been split into two different options, horizontal position and vertical position. The horizontal position slider will offset the camera to the left and right. An ‘over-the-shoulder’ view can be created as well to keep the center of the screen clear. The vertical position sets the maximum height the camera can go when the camera is at maximum distance from a character. The actual camera height will adjust the more you zoom in to ensure that your character is always on the screen.

Collision Sensitivity

When enabled, this setting will adjust how much stuff (trees, walls, rocks, etc.) needs to be between a player’s character and camera before the camera snaps in.

Character Height

No matter the race or size, the camera will now focus on a character’s head. This is going to give norn players a relatively taller feeling than their asura-playing friends. This change might affect players who frequent jumping puzzles, so to counteract this, there is an adjust camera to character height toggle. When unchecked, the camera will move to a consistent position above the character’s feet, regardless of how big or small the character is.

3 years for a basic essential MMO feature after previous 5 years development and I am guessing 3 more for a particle effects slider. other MMOs have had this shit like 20 years ago.. oh and I could be wrong in assuming that they will actually let us zoom out more. xD in which case revert previous statement, gw2 still in the stone age.

Actually, most MMOs don't have this.

Have something everybody is asking for > don't give it > people keep asking for it > 3 years later give it > expect people to be super happy.

There are some additions to it that are nice of them to add though, but some of them were removed after beta.

Yes, but coupled with the new sliders I feel it will be much better than it currently is.
