i play in first person, but i think a lot of third person people would prefer a straight on view over the annoying over the shoulder view where you have to zoom all the way out to get centered. does anyone know if anything is being done about this? i know i can't be the only one that hates the over the shoulder.
You can have it. I don't even like sweetrolls. <Crying on Inside>
...Yes, someone did steal my sweetroll.

    I had some trouble getting used to the off center way of viewing while playing Warframe, but once I played for a time I came to love it. I think it really enhances the horse riding view and I cannot wait to try it while role playing. I was really delighted to see it in this game as well.

    It's actually a superior camera view in terms of information gathered, as your character doesn't squarely block whatever you are looking at. It's one of those things that takes a while to get used to but is better in the long run.

    oh i agree its very artistic and great for RP. just be nice to have something in setting like a check box. normal, and over the shoulder. ill give an example of why it can be annoying

    one boss i had to fight would summon spheres that if they reached her would completely heal hear, so you had to smash them. this was nearly impossible in first person, not seeing all around. but in over the shoulder you could do it... but still had a sizable blind spot.

    That's mostly the point. That's why it became prevalent in shooters that used 3rd person. If the camera is centered behind the character then the only way to see what your character is blocking is to look slightly down. This presents its own problems when you think about how far away your point of focus is. There is no correct angle that covers all distances. For shooters where you aim the camera is where you aim your weapon, so improved visual input of the exact point you are aiming the camera is important.

    They could get by without using it here...but there's not a compelling reason to use centered besides "it's what I'm used to".

    What I'd like to be able to do with the third person camera is zoom out much further.

    Right now I can't even use first person because I feel like I'm looking through a magnifying glass with everything so close. That FOV slider can't come soon enough, imo.

    I'm just a simple player but this tp camera make me sick. I'm grew up in wow now with this camera view i just simply always missclick my targets, and moving always a bit right instead of straight. I think I'm not alone with this problem and I think it is not only an idiot player's crying (its me :) ) but it is an important business policy question. myself subscribed for 180 days already.... and already thinking about cancel it because i get headache when I'm playing.

    You know that if you zoom all the way out, the camera automatically centers the mouse instead of having it on the right.

    But granted, it is a little work getting used to it.

    I'm happy with Your opinion, thanks I hope you already used to it :) I also hope You enjoy to play a mile away from your character when You playing in third person, mode but I'm NOT HAPPY with that :) I see You DO NOT want to see my point and it is ok for me :) So I wish You a lot of enjoyed hours in Parrot mode, but this is my not my style :) so I'm quirt now :)
