PvP Discussion - Camera Angle Too Narrow in Team Fights - Forum

I can't see where I'm shooting and I can't see where my teammates are running to ( and the faster their movement speed is, the worse this becomes ). I see my ally run off to the left of the screen and then, poof, they're out of sight. Often by the time you get close enough to a suspected area of interest, you've already put yourself in a less than ideal position; either the wrong place to be able to attack or the wrong place to be able to defend. There needs to be an option to roll the camera up so players can see more of the field in PvP. I know there is a minimap, but you can miss some crucial info if all you can see is little X's as your teammates.

Now adjust your aspect ratio in a way that you can see the whole map. Problem solved. http://imgur.com/a/kzJRe As a side note, is GGG planning to fix this any time soon? Or is it too hard/impossible to prevent it?	Posted by lapiz on Mar 4, 2015, 4:07:42 AM Quote this Post

can't you plug the pc to a big flat screen tv? I don't even own a tv but If I did I'd give it a try :P LLD BOTW spark/arc caster guide http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1133731 Last edited by andkamen on Mar 4, 2015, 2:09:16 PM	Posted by andkamen on Mar 4, 2015, 2:08:46 PM Quote this Post
I think it's based around aspect ratio. If you make your monitor tall, you could get more vertical view. If you make your monitor wide, you get more horizontal view. If you make it both, it just stretches and shows no additional view range.	Posted by jcostello1 on Mar 4, 2015, 2:31:52 PM Quote this Post
btw if by "make monitor tall" you mean use ctrl+ alt + arrows to flip your monitor then flip the monitor itself, the game client bugs out to 800x600 :P LLD BOTW spark/arc caster guide http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1133731	Posted by andkamen on Mar 4, 2015, 3:17:41 PM Quote this Post
Yeah it would be great if someone could tell Willy not to intentionally use this on stream. The last thing we need to do is support that kind of playstyle...	Posted by mimivirus on Mar 6, 2015, 9:29:35 PM Quote this Post
This is cheating no matter what anyone says. The game isnt meant to played like that. Make it stop GGG, please.	Posted by lapiz on Mar 7, 2015, 12:32:16 PM Quote this Post
