LOL what the hell? This is akin to saying play some game that has bad controls using your feet for several days then go back to using your hands.

Exactly, you know that kung-fu movie trope about training while wearing weights?
"I laugh at you kung-fu" -> weights off -> "You kung-fu very stronk, I am defecated".

Seriously, you'll get used to it, it was too close for me too and now the camera in other other arpgs feels too far for me, especially TL2, feels like playing snake on nokia 3310.

'get used to it' - yeah thats a great solution. The point is we don't want to get used to it, because we dont like it how it is now. Simple.
The devs could answer every post in this forum with 'get used to it', would it help anyone?

I really dont get you ppl.. If devs increased the max zoomout level you can still play with the zoom% you have played before. It changes nothing for you, but it changes everything for us.

It's probably been mentioned a lot of times already, but it's not a question of good will, skills have range, weapons have range, enemies have range, allies and enemies have detection range. Increasing visible area would require a serious rebalance of all those, it's not a simple matter of 'private O'Tully, raise the periscope x units up' 'Yes Sir, Sir'. And if they adjust those values to a higher vantage point they will create a disadvantage for those that like it as it is, devs are trying for a competitive game here after all.

Anyway, I can personally understand why they treat it as a non-issue, and that's because it is. That's something that will bother you for a week at most and then you'll forget about it, I was extremely bothered by it in the beginning too, and then stopped noticing anything was wrong after a short while.

maybe you can get used to camera...

i just ragequitted the game after a pair of days and now play other games :D
and many friends i tried to suggest poe did the same.
it seems to be a non-problem? xD

balancing issue or just an interface matter, i won't play again until it fixes....if it will ever fix. as many and many players say, camera is just too zoomed in. period.
it's 2013 (2014 in few days).

game is unplayable by me because of this camera - so i stopped playing, occasionally checking patch notes about camera zoom info..

so for now, bye bye, plenty games to play before camera fix

Personally i think camera zoom is just right. If the camera were further away you could see monsters when they aren't a threat, thus the game would lose its action, and since this is ARPG it is good that it has that action element of always be ready for some monsters coming your way. With camera further away chicken players could avoid bigger mobs, so if you complain about the camera zoom.. that kinda makes you a chicken.

Playing on 1920x1080 resolution i dont want to be punished for having decent computer rig, how cant it be that 1366x768 = 1920x1080? Thats kinda lame - we went back in time or what? Without further ado - GrindingGearGames just took an arrow to the knee:

ForumWhiner: "Oh look - ranged combat characters are too go0d killing at "range", kiting mobs and players!"
GGG:"Don't worry - we just lower camera 3x times so no one can see a shit beyond 5m ring"

Thats how GGG solves problems right now.
Game was good, better than D3 in many terms - but with this camera, went from good to unplayable for me.

I think the zoom is fine... I would personally LOVE to have the ability to rotate the camera.


Canyon maps that make you travel south. that is all.

ZOOM OUT is DAMN HORRIBLE. Period.
Quited the game because og this. Not so GG GGG! Work this out pls.
