Invited to Alpha Test

Thx for reminding me about the basics but I'm not asking whether you can change it to above the shoulder TPS or not.
I wonder if you could move camera to some extent to get a larger view 'below' your character (and smaller 'above' accordingly).
Maybe the way it's showed in videos it's because devs think it looks better that way, and you could change it in game to get more 'straight' view.
For me there's too much perspective distortion like in photo done with wide-angle lens, I'd like to get more 'classical' view (same view distance in all directions).
Now it's almost like a blind spot.

2 quick questions
How's the game pace?
Especially later on.

Can you change your field of view or rather camera look/perspective.
I kinda don't like the way it is set in gameplay videos (pretty too narrow especially 'below' your character).
I wonder if player could extend/change it to some extent.

It's hard to answer questions about pacing when the alpha does not have all game content. All I can say is it feels fine right now.

As for the camera angle, I've never really had an issue with it. Like most games of this type, the camera is a fixed angle and I don't really think about it. Chris has spoken in the past on why they chose the current camera angle and the possibility of adding a zoom feature in the following thread:

Any chance they'd let you film some of the gameplay and release it on a private youtube account?

I don't think there would be a problem as long as you don't use any mechanic that hasn't already been introduced. Although, using skills we haven't seen yet may be troublesome.

I'm gonna assume GGG wants full control of all video released of the game at this point. So probably not.

I recently made a thread about tech requiremtns and received no adequate response. I don't see why it would be that hard for him to post his requirements.

Once again, since you seem to have glazed over it, what are your tech specs?

It's a simple question; I don't understand why I'm treated as if I'm a leper...

maybe because you ignored the posts which explained it in your thread


cheers for the updates oasis

Herborist picks up the quad fail.

It ran fine on a: 8800gt 6600 cpu. 3 years old. One of the beta testers said it. Read back through the threads a bit.

:/ Well back again and like i say before still nothing no download nothing back to the other games :/

If there any posts that explained it, they came long after I told everyone to get back on topic. Furthermore, I'm reporting you for needless goating.

Woh that made no sense!

Just wanted to say thanks to the original poster of the thread. I've been following these forums and threads ever since its announcement and it's always awesome to get real feedback from those not affiliated with the games creation.
