Kyosji✭✭✭Well...that changes everything. If your field of vision is no different than what any other player can see in 3rd person, I don't see any issue with that.0 -

Here's the reddit thread that talks about it and with proof that a ZOS customer support guy Approved it (kind of).

Sorry for the delay on my answer.
I HOPE YOU READ THIS GinaBruno! Don't leave this thread!

Ciovala✭✭✭I hope they allow this to be changed - this is the only game that gives me serious eye strain. No idea why so I just hope it's related to the FoV.Looking for a mature and helpful social guild - play PvE, PvP, and like crafting.0 -

Awesome... is there any chance we'll be seeing a max camera zoom distance option at some point, in the game options, by the way?
EDIT: Oh wow, adjusting the FOV on thirdperson mode since it's vertical is increasing the camera zoom too

You're argument here is basically saying "I feel this should have been in the game, but it wasn't, so I'm putting it in anyways"
It's no different than someone saying "God mode should have been in this game, but it wasn't, so I'm putting it in anyways", or "giant arrows should have been put in this game to let me see where all active chests and nodes are in this game, but it wasn't, so I'm putting it in anyways".
Not sure what your post has to do with anything this thread is talking about.... we had higher max zoom in beta and it was taken lower for no apparent reason. It's not any stat-altering or particularly gameplay altering thing, you can see a little bit more around you like you used to be able to and that's it. Arguably the option should have been in and is already slated for a postlaunch patch regardless for FOV. Max camera zoom should be too.-First-Wave Closed Beta Tester of the Psijic Order, aka the 0.016 percent.

We're still waiting to hear back from the team about this particular mod. In the meantime, we do plan on eventually implementing an FOV slider for what that's worth.6 -

Please ensure it works for third-person view as well, it's a major feature for people using that instead of just first-person, as well. Looking forward to seeing it in-game. Edited by Attorneyatlawl on April 12, 2014 4:48AM-First-Wave Closed Beta Tester of the Psijic Order, aka the 0.016 percent.

If you guys are adding one in soon anyway, I don't see what the issue is. Should be an easy yes, right? After learning that this actually does work well for third person, I'm gonna have to say that my joke earlier in the thread is true afterall. Member of the Psijic Order PTS Group1 -
Dryyab✭If it patches memory it could mean a security issue for the servers... it might have a hidden purpose that we don't know about...0

I think the concern is to ensure it doesn't have any kind of security-affecting aspects to it both clientside and for the players (i.e. keylogger/other malware). They additionally need to consider the effects of allowing any third-party program, even if benign.Edited by Attorneyatlawl on April 13, 2014 1:39AM-First-Wave Closed Beta Tester of the Psijic Order, aka the 0.016 percent.

Lenny✭✭✭I really don't see why this wasn't added in by ZoS to be done through the client itself...LOTS of people BEGGING for it before release!1 -
heidraSoul ShrivenGlad to see ZoS actively interested & responding to these sorts of things. Hope the answer is yes, and if it is then I'll gladly install such an awesome addon.What is the color of night?
Sanguine, my brother0 -
FezzikVizzini✭✭✭Please stop referring this as an addon. It is not. It is a stand alone .exe that alters memory in the client.
With all the actual bugs that there are already in the game you actually want to run a program that could do who knows what to your client ?
The whole thread is a complete waste of time anway because:
1) It would almost certainly be against ToC to inject into the client's memory.
2) Even if it was against ToC do you really think that ZOS would have any method of detecting it. Jeez, people are changing map coordiantes in the client to transport under the map to mining nodes and not getting detected let alone a minor FOV change.Yeah, I got a PC. I just don't feel the need to post it's specifications for an ego boost.2 -

Hah, I was under the impression it was a real addon. Didn't realize this was an actual program. I certainly won't be using it now I guess.Member of the Psijic Order PTS Group0 -

It was never put in, just a promised feature. Along with disabling cyrodiil bolstering which as a VR player is downscaling my stats. Edited by Attorneyatlawl on April 13, 2014 3:51AM-First-Wave Closed Beta Tester of the Psijic Order, aka the 0.016 percent.
