    7.1 Gpose Camera Changes - Please revert/add a toggle!

    7.1 Patch Notes: When adjusting roll angle settings, camera tilt and panning are now tied to roll angle settings by default.
    The new gpose camera changes now make taking vertical images feel VERY confusing, uncomfortable and unintuitive. Now, panning with WASD and tilting the camera with your mouse is anchored to your monitor's up/down/left/right even though the game's world/camera is rotated 90 degrees for vertical shots.

    TL;DR: It’s NOT intuitive to link gpose camera controls to the roll angle, because when we gpose vertically, our brains adjust to the character/world as being upright, and not the top of our monitors

    Please revert this change or add a toggle setting so we can go back to how it was before!

    Here's a graphic I made to explain the frustration:

    I couldn't agree more. This change has made taking vertical shots a nightmare. If SE wants to keep it as an option, that's fine, but the default should be the way it was and then this new way can be toggled on for the few people that would actually use it

    This! Please revert it or add toggle. The new camera movement is utterly confusing and does not move as one want. Ruins the gpose experience and flow of taking and enjoying gposes. This update only made me frustrated while trying to take some pictures. I was hoping there was a disable function but there wasn't.

    I was also confused. This ruined a good and precise experience for me. My brain expects one thing and something else happens entirely. I want it to be reverted or be as an option.

    Adding my support to this. Please, please, please, please return the old controls as an actual option. The patch notes made it sound like the newly added roll angle would be the new "default", not the "only possibility" from here on. I tried taking a vertical shot last night and felt like I was going crazy. It gave me a headache.

    I love the new change but I want it to be a toggle. It's not other people's fault that my brain is weird.

    Options are always better than to just cater to one type.

    I thought it was just a *me* problem! I've found gpose really awkward to use since the GU

    Super agree with this! Especially as someone who's been gposing for a while, the old way made sense to me and was very intuitive. At the end of the day, we're all going to be tilting our heads anyway to see what the picture looks like, so the tools should work relative to that.

    Having this as a toggle seems like the correct way to go about it.
