Camera Controls in A Realm Reborn

[Rukkirii]

Happy Monday forum goers!

I bring forth information about the camera controls for A Realm Reborn since they are an aspect of the game that we have received a large amount of feedback on.

In A Realm Reborn, there will be settings for both standard MMO camera controls as well as the current settings that everyone is used to. On top of that, we will be implementing a type of rear-view mirror feature that will allow players to check behind them! How convenient is that?!

That's great news. I'm interested in trying out whatever the new camera controls are.

Can we get chrome rims as well?

oooh, fancy. rearview. now i can see that level-over-9000 gob basilisk chasing me down to feast on my soul.

nice to see we can keep the current controls too. I generally don't leave my hand on my mouse and play with KB only whenever possible. WASD+IJKL

Hmmm... It appears "strange" for me. Weird, indeed.
But you know what? That's me. I know I'm not forced to use it (hope so...), so I'm not concerned about it.
Next!

As long as mouse-look functions as smoothly and laglessly as it does in other (non-FFXI/XIV) MMOs, I'll be happy.

I just wish we could adjust the left & right sensitivity. Unlike a joystick using the keyboard leads to weird gradual turns and really annoying sharp turns (I use numpad for steering)... something like:

Hold 8 & Press 7
Tap 5
Run w/e distance (notice you need to turn left)
Tap 4
Tap 4
Tap 4
Run w/e distance (notice you need to turn right)
Tap 6
Tap 6
Tap 6
Run w/e distance (notice you missed ramp!)
Tap 5
Tap 7
Tap 2
Tap 5
Hold 8 & Press 7
Hold 6
Hold 4
Hold 6
Tap 7
Hold 8
Tap 5
etc...

Rear view would be so awesome for Hamlets. <3

It wouldn't hurt to be able to raise the angle a bit more, to be able to adjust the positioning/centering and to be able to zoom a bit more further.

Cheers~

You can already adjust the camera height if that's part of what you're looking for.

I wonder what "standard MMO camera controls" are supposed to be... I though that's what this game was already trying to emulate with the current camera controls. I would be plenty happy to go back to using the Directional keys like XI and to actually have a functional target/menu system so I don't have to use a mouse.
