    Are there any plans to fix the camera system?

    The camera is a huge annoyance during gameplay.

    Are there any plans to fix this?

    It randomly resets your zoom
    I like to play zoomed all the way out. I'm not sure why but the game randomly will zoom me back in. I get that if I walk past a tall object, the camera will zoom in, and then zoom back out. Sometimes, however, it stays zoomed in.

    It screws with targeting
    I get what it's trying to do here, it's trying to stop you from targeting things you can't see, through walls, etc, but there are several cases where I can fully see an enemy but because some part of the view of the enemy's hit box (an invisible cube around/sometimes inside the enemy, for simplicity's sake), I can't target it.

    point 1.
    yes, it's bugging me too

    point 2.
    more example is in Antaboga fight
    you can't target it if it's blocked by the statue, even though the boss is way bigger than the statue

    i normally only get this problem when im fighting demon wall and sporadically here and there and it is very annoying. also during the titan fight i find myself always trying to zoom out because it likes to reset my camera.

    the camera is designed in such a way that it will not allow you to zoom out of the room you are in so as to prevent your camera from clipping into the walls, try going into enclosed spaces, you can't zoom any further than the walls you are in.

    you can adjust your camera so that there aren't any walls behind though.

    An option to lock the camera would be nice. What I'm experiencing: I zoom out the camera for X distance, then swing my camera to a certain angle where a wall or obstacle or object is blocking my view and the game would force the camera to be set at Y distance for me. That's alright I guess but when I move the camera out of the object's way back to the initial position, the zoom is still at Y distance instead of going back to X, and I will have to rezoom out again manually. An easy fix for mouse and keyboard users, since they only need to flick the mouse wheel but for controller users it's a bit of pain since you have to hold the L1 button and analog to readjust, wasting precious time in combat. I play using both controls depending on the class I'm playing but for the most part, with controllers, the game never returns your camera position. All has to be manual and annoying.

    Reminds me of the old 1.0 MRD's guild. So annoying to navigate inside.

    See, that's obvious and I covered it in my OP, but what's annoying me is that frequently enough, it doesn't zoom back out, which it should, like Gardes said.

    yea it doesn't really bother me since I play on KB and Mouse, i usually re-adjust using the mouse wheel.

    the camera needs to be able to be locked. I quit tanking because of this. Super annoying and many times my camera will force itself to a zoom range where all I can see is the mob up very close and then I have to adjust it back to where I had it which can cause me to not being doing something else i need to do. This is very important on boss fights where i need to be zoomed out max and then all of a sudden the camera resets me to the worst zoom. Its a headache, but I do think the camera has potential. It does other things well, but the zoom needs a lock. it absolutely needs it. One of the only things I can complain about.

    It's not a full solution, but it helps: Ctrl+End (On PC) will Set the current position, so afterwards simply pressing home will slam the camera back to that height and distance, behind character.

    I'd like the option to lock off the zoom in when I run towards the camera though, and have at least ceilings invisible for zoom though, I do agree.
