Kirazy Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Please don't leave the bug as-is. In my opinion, it looks like a bug. Especially for Sith Inquisitors. In addition to the ceiling being clipped off, it's clear when zoomed out that it is just a small square room with the partial background of a cockpit built in. It looks very strange. That and each character is lined up so their face is mid-screen and the bottom cuts off at the knees. Off center and awkward, like a bad photo. I do think a lot of people like to get a good look at their outfit in the selection screen, but I don't think this bug is an acceptable way to allow that. I also think a lot of people like to get a breath of fresh air in how their old familiar login process looks. But I think that will wear off and we'll be left with an ugly bugged screen. If they decide to implement this as a feature, what I would expect to happen is for the bug to be fixed, it to go back to the way it was, and then some time down the line return in a polished and working form, without the issues you are currently seeing.

Kirazy Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Vast majority? Oh dear. As one of the (apparent?) few who like the zoomed in look, please at least let it be an option. Maybe you could scroll from far view into close view just like on the character creation screen? As has been suggested, they could potentially make it a configurable option, between the old and new systems. It would be in line with what they've done in the past, particularly with cooldown flashes/text, rather than just the one system they added options.

exiliox Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Against all odds, I prefer fries! I'll certainly pass on that a vast majority of people seem to like the zoomed out view. No promises, but I'll make sure they know. Sign me up as loving the new perspective. I was hoping it was a bug only in the sense BW was rolling it put in the near future. I have always hated how zoomed in the intro is. We have great armor and great ships...I want to see more of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadDawGe Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 /signed - I like the zoomed out view (obviously fix the issues surrounding camera placement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonelhero Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) I want to also sign this. To my eye, the pulled back view is much better looking. Edited August 1, 2014 by colonelhero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxeDragoneth Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I've always wondered why the Character Select screen doesn't allow for the same zooming the Character Creator does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandFlurry Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I know it's a bug, but I have to say that I like the new perspective we get when first logging in to a character. It lets you see more of your character and their ship instead of an extreme closeup on their face. Sentinel Juggernaut Agreed. This the 1 /bug they did right Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JattaGin Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I dislike the new zoomed out view. If they make it an option, I don't mind. But I prefer the original view a zillion times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCesca Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 They say a closed mouth doesn't get fed, so add me to the list of people that prefer the accidental pulled out view. I think a toggle would be ideal, for the people who prefer their headshot version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillshock Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 To be honest... I think they should make the stronghold the new character-selection place... xD But I do like the "new bug perspective" a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomiSotto Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I thought it was a feature, not a bug. I was starting to hope we get different backgrounds soon, for different classes and all. Aww, well, life is full of disappointments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww, well, life is full of disappointments. I didn't think it was a bug either, I thought that Bioware actually did something great with the character screen.

DarthDymond Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 To be honest... I think they should make the stronghold the new character-selection place... xD But I do like the "new bug perspective" a lot. That would be pretty cool if they really did go all-out and add some customization options to the log-in, being able to select one of your unlocked Strongholds as the background instead of the ship. Of course in reality, since people are only on their log-in screen for a few seconds, there's no way it would be worth the investment to go all-out on customizing that aspect. But hey, sometimes it's fun to imagine what would we'd like if they had unlimited resources. (And I might still hold out hope for a toggle between the close-up/pulled-out views.)

undiess Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 The new accidental view is an improvement. +like and highly prefer retaining the farther out view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonNH Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I like this the way it is. As it stands now, we do get both views, all you have to do is switch between characters. You have plenty of other bugs to fix, so leave this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPlus Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Against all odds, I prefer fries! I'll certainly pass on that a vast majority of people seem to like the zoomed out view. No promises, but I'll make sure they know. It would be nice if we could get an "update" about this. What did the DEVs think about the fact that most players like this bug? Do they intend to fix the character select screen so that it is a) always zoomed out (which would mean fixing some of the ship interiors) or b) give us the ability to alternate between the 2 views (either with a toggle (zoomed out/zoomed in) or a gradual zoom out/in using the mouse scroll wheel)? Are they going to leave it the way it is now? Are they going to revert it back to what it was before (only zoomed in)? Other... Curious minds want to know. (For the record: I like the zoomed out view much much more.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaronBS Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 /signed I prefer this, and have always preferred the whole-character view to the close-up. That said, I don't know why the screen doesn't just let you zoom, rotate, and display/hide weapons. It's easy and makes for better self-admiration (which we all know we want more of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroPlus Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 It would be really nice to get an answer about whether we will (or won't) see the zoomed out view become the norm (or an option). hint hint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoUniverseBC Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yes, when are we going to get the normal screen back? Not everyone likes this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeJarC Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yes, when are we going to get the normal screen back? Not everyone likes this... I hope NEVER, and why would they when it is so damned easy to reset the zoom effect by selecting another toon and flipping back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonNH Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't understand the need to revert it to the way it was before. All you have to do is click on another character and click back and you've got the closeup again. It's perfect as it is because you can get either view.

Kaos_KidSWTOR Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 If they made the zoomed out look less glitchy (ala, the BH Ship when zoomed out has bits of space showing.) i wouldnt mind it... i dont care either way, so meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
