Cannot see AoE while fighting big Mob

[Gandora]

We're aware that some of the camera behavior when locking onto a large enemy can be less than optimal, and we plan to adjust this sometime after patch 2.2.

With all the respect you deserve, I really think that considering a problem of this importance after something totaly insignificant such as "a hairdresser" is unacceptable.
The camera behavior is more then unconfortable, not only it zoom automaticaly in when you face a huge enemy or when you lock the said enemy, but it does also lock some players on auto-run when you try to fix the problem of the zooming in (target unlocked) I'm on of the concerned players.

I am sorry but with an answer like that we're perfectly entitled to belive that the DEV team doesn't care about a very important problem impacting directly on the game confort and player abilities. This problem should be fixed during a quick emergency maintenance at least.

Agreed that it's insanely annoying, but...

I am assuming that they have a fairly large code team that's fractured into separate areas of focus, so I would be willing to bet that the character model designers/coders who did the heavy lifting on the hairdresser would have to take the time to get up to speed on the battle systems code.

Uh, maybe it's on my client only but my charater will automatically turn to face a targeted enemy as soon as I perform an action on it.

Due to the camera positioning I never lock to enemies.

Tried it and you are correct, your caracter faces the enemy BUT the camera won't, so it's a little weird and not usefull for me at least

Just switch to the Legacy camera mode and all your problems should disappear. Honestly, give that a try. I switched after playing for a few days and raging at the camera and haven't regretted it. Legacy will also let you run backwards instead of backing up at a slow pace.

Kind of a must to dodge AoEs.

Legacy mode has a problem with camera zooming in and never zooming back afterwards.
Remember Producer Yoshida laughing at people fighting Titan with their camera zoomed all in? That's what happens when you fight in a very confined space.

Hum, Titan is anything but a tight space...

But yeah, it doesn't zoom itself back out right now so you have to do it manually, which isn't as bad as it sounds. And it'll get fixed up in 2.1 or 2.2, can't remember exactly when.

[Kletian]

This is kind of a tangential issue, but can something be done about tab targeting not working well on tall mobs unless you pan the camera up to "see" the target, like Titan's Heart?

PS3 has even worse camera view
