    Playing as a Giant is restricting in more ways than one...

    Hello!
    I originally played as a lalafell and then one night i went to bed and woke up a rogeadyn!
    Besides living upto my name, i've actually had quite alot of trouble in certain dungeons. Generally, it isn't that much of a hassle because zooming in or out is irrelevant to most dungeons but...the Levitahan Extreme is a dungeon that utilizes the zoom out mechanic. If you play/have played as a lalafell, you know that you can zoom out all the way and see the platform your standing on-whether it's titan's platform or the ship from leviathan. In contrast to shorty mc. shorty pants, giant mc gianty pantloons cannot do so. The camera angle is limited and it limits the gameplay!

    I do not want to use phantasia because i enjoy playing as a giant mofo, but i don't want to have this restriction placed on me. So please SE, or some empolyee of SE, or somebody or anybody, get this issue fixed so i can keep playing as a bald, giant, Rogeadyn.

    It's not all good for lalas though. Short characters can't grab the homing missile tether attached to tall characters in T8 without jumping to grab it. (Probably a bug though)

    wow that's new to me. they shouldn't discriminate viewing angles based on race

    yeah.. and short lalas are sometimes tough to see in a bunch of taller toons. my raid used to have problem spotting our lala tank when we were progressing on T5 and it was kinda smoother when he changed to a Roe

    funny things happened when our SMN changed to a lalafell, on T7 at times people wonder why they got hit by circle of flames for nothing but actually he accidentally ran past the lalafell SMN lol.

    i actually hope this is intended to bring out the diversity of races in the mechanics and would hope they'd implement more like it in the future

    I play as a Roegadyn and I have never run into any issues of not being able to see stuff because of the camera.

    You can change your camera angles in character configuration, try positioning it lower or something.
