    Fixed Camera in 2.0

    Not sure if this has been discussed yet on the forums or not, but I and several of my friends are not too fond of the whole locked camera thing in 2.0. In case anyone doesn't know what I mean, basically as you rotate the camera, your character's facing direction rotates with it. Not only is this unrealistic but it's also inconvenient if you want to rotate the camera without changing the direction you're walking in (it's present in both of the alpha videos they released, so rewatch those if you haven't noticed). I'm hoping this is just an alpha thing but I thought I would make a post about it just in case, and to make sure I'm not the only one who has a problem with it.

    Go to 1:29:00 near the end as you can see full camera 360 degree rotation standing still.

    Ah good eye. So I guess there's multiple ways of rotating the camera/multiple camera settings.

    I'd really like to see a free form camera so you can move it around like in 3D worlds such as SecondLife, so you can get that PERFECT angle and your character doesn't have to be in the middle of the screenshot. some people don't really like that, would help for group screenshots too.

    Matoya: And that should give you a notion of how sick and tired I was of those spineless wretches of the Forum. All talk and no trousers, that lot.

    There are, both rotating camera with your character and w/o it, so there's nothing for you to worry about.

    I think it would nice to have the character try to look in the same direction as the camera when it's behind the character, and at the camera when it's in front, as an option when nothing is targetted; instead of only moving its head when something is targetted.
    It would help for many screenshots and also indicate to other players where to look. Head movements like that would help add more liveliness in parties and groups, as opposed to having characters stare in front of them all the time when they are not focused on a target -- especially noticeable while waiting for party members or whatever.

    I think it would be one of those small detail that would add more impact to the game. ^^

    I don't like it, I don't like looking like a soldier... ;_;
    (simply not the image I have of my character)
    Oh well (hopefully we get some stances/walking options, haha).

    LOL cash shop! SE's way to tell their player how they appreciate them... pull the carrot and empty your pockets $$$
    And to those who support it: you are kicking yourselves. -- We just need to sit back and laugh at people with cash shop items.

    Idk i gotta try it for myself, but as a tank this may be a blessing, we all know the lock issues in the game i hope this function becomes more adjustable.
    Curious as to addons know if they allow first one will be threat meter, dps, healing
    If they dont improve the lock system then hopefuly someone does with a addon.
