do you guys zoom in and play with first person or do you play the game zoomed out?

Whispering Siren · Aug 24, 2006, 05:46 PM // 17:46

zoomed out. i don't spend all that money on armor to not look at it!

CHUIU · Aug 24, 2006, 06:05 PM // 18:05

Zoomed out because I like to see whats going on to react to it, and first person is too limited in visability.

I zoom in against a boss to see what the weapon he is weilding. But typically I played zoomed out.

I zoom in when I need to pick something up. As in Riverside, when the tower guards drop something and I have no way of getting up there to pick it up. All other times, I zoom out. Good to see your surroundings, prevents dp.

I zoom in often when sniping from cliffs or mountains with my ranger.

Mrscoombes · Aug 24, 2006, 07:38 PM // 19:38

Zoomed in nearly all the time, because there was this advert on TV where this guy took a pic of this woman falling through the air from a skyscraper whilst smacking a tennis ball with a racket in mid air. And at the end it said 'NEVER MISS A SHOT.' It sort of inspired me to be in first person 95% of the time so I never miss a memorable screeny.

I almost always play zoomed out because I like to see what is going on behind my character(good if an assasin/warrior sneaks up to you). Only time I am zoomed in is if I am fighting from a corner or in a tight space(including parts of the Canthan City).

Scutilla · Aug 24, 2006, 08:11 PM // 20:11

Zoomed in, two mousewheel-clicks in from the default level to be precise. I like being able to see things in detail, and it's not zoomed in so far that it affects my performance (I mean mine, not my computer's).

Plushie Penguin · Aug 24, 2006, 09:02 PM // 21:02

I have my camera set to show my entire character, and a little of the ground behind the feet, works most of the time, unless I'm in the mosh pit

greenchylde · Aug 24, 2006, 09:21 PM // 21:21

zoomed out completely. i miss a lot of detail which saddens me but i feel that i need it that way to see whats around me enough. i also am working on cartographer most of the time and i really need it to see where to click next and assess my footing. 100% cantha now and tyria to go!!

Carl Butanananowski · Aug 24, 2006, 09:25 PM // 21:25

O.o Good job?

I like to have it a little farther back then midways, but if Im feeling stupid-happy or am in a corner, ill go in 1st person.

Its fun when your fighting in PvE on a war.

Truong · Aug 24, 2006, 09:42 PM // 21:42

I zoom into first-person randomly, but I usually play zoomed out to be able to see the environment.

icedragon981 · Aug 24, 2006, 10:43 PM // 22:43

I almost always play fully zoomed out, get a good feel for my surroundings and so on.
