✭No we were not, the camera is purposfully off center to allow you to see around your character in 3rd person.Arkay Beta Tester2 -
Foul_Corsair✭✭✭Yea, its annoying to those not used to it, ie me, but its not a bugwould ya mind if I fired me cannon through your porthole?0 -
Inversus✭✭✭✭✭No, this is intentional. Most people have no problem with it, you'll get used to it.VR14 EH Sorc

Foul_Corsair✭✭✭Yea, its not too bad for me as I play zoomed out 100% and its centered at that rangewould ya mind if I fired me cannon through your porthole?0
-
malthol✭✭✭By fix, I mean were told there would be an option added to change this, as there were a number of complaints about disorientation and even nausea. The announcement had seemed to imply before launch, but wasn't specific on that point I suppose.1

There was never a discussion on this by the developers. They are adding a FOV slider for first person, nothing for third person reticle.

Well, it actually makes me feel sick. I also read during beta that they were looking at the issue and a slider would be added to rectify the problem. This is clearly now for 1st person only, which is not my chosen way to play any game. Not sure what I will do now. I felt ill during beta but read the comment regarding the slider so bought the game, my mistake and one I will not make again.
I see no point in actually subscribing after the free month if there is no hope of a fix to this. The game is unplayable for more than 20 mins at a time for me in its current format.
DAoC, EQ1&2, Lotro, SWTOR, GW2 did not have this problem for me, I did not feel ill playing their game. I have not felt like this since playing the original Wolfenstein, which is what, pushing 20 years ago? What is the problem here I wonder.Edited by paul1606b16_ESO on March 30, 2014 2:53PM1 -

✭✭The further you zoom out, the more centered it becomes.
You could try this, but not sure it affects 3rd person.

Foul_Corsair✭✭✭Yea, would be good if they added a toggle to have it centered or the way it is and yes its fine for you if you can play with your character off to the side but I've never seen it in any other mmo I've ever played and its awful. Its not bugged, agreed, but give us a togglewould ya mind if I fired me cannon through your porthole?2

Oh, if that's what they meant, it was absolutely unclear in the announcement we had in the PTS forums a couple of weeks ago. Seems a little silly as there's no problem w/ 1st person, but there's been a good deal of complaint about the off-center character in third and the ridiculous distance of zoom to center it up.

TheBusStop✭✭I like the camera off-centre, I HATE centred third person camera's
But this is my personal opinion, and more options never hurt

Thanks for that. And I'll have to learn how to not quote a quote but just the answer....
Edit . . . Ah ha, it shrinks quoted quotes, nice.Edited by Foul_Corsair on March 30, 2014 3:30PMwould ya mind if I fired me cannon through your porthole?0 -
I don't mind the camera being off centre, I just feel sick after a short period of time using it. I don't in 1st person, but I do not use 1st person and have intention of starting now.1

I'd like to see an option slider to change the camera offset from Zero zo what it it right now. I never had problems with it in another game that has Elins (don't know if it's allowes to "call" other games, so I describe it), it was just a little bit uncomfortalbe at the beginning. But in ESO it seems to matter a lot more, as there are two things different. First, it's a lot farther off centre than in the other game I mentioned. Second: As opposed to the other game, we have to aim for things to inteact with (especially to pick something up) much more precisely at relatively low distances and here come the problems. Two bottles, next to each other, require me to move the mouse not just to one side, but also up or down to get the other one, and this feels absolutely strange. Another problem, I've come across were some tents in which I can pick up things. I've been standing at the entrance and couldn't aim at a sack or other things, because the zoom level keeps switching back and forth as soon as there are some obstructive things behind my characters head, which is not centered. It's just some convenience thing, but I'd really appreciate a slider for the offset, so anybody can play how he's most comfortable with.0

why so big deal to make option for centered third person cam?
i prefer mid third person camera as well... this shoulder cam is simply annoying for me 1 -
Ziz✭✭✭✭✭its stupid, it used to be further back and more centered but ZoS for no reason made the camera closer and off to the side....
been saying this for months but they don't care unless you are a first person console playing elder scrolls lore loving immersion obsessing single player0 -
I hope they will add the middle camera option soon (with scalable distance)
I'm personally waited for this game months ago ( I'm already cancelled my account in W...other games erm
