Vildiil Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I was just coming here to post that I really like the zoomed out perspective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBBP Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 LOL, oddly enough, it is enough of a change to freshen things up a tiny bit. I like it. Let's keep it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryand Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Make the mouse wheel zoom in and out on the character screen like it should have since release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurkoz Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 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. Awesome! Happy to hear this! It can be a small addition that would bring a fresh new look to the login screen. The regular "up-close" view is still cool but that really relies on good quality textures. I personally feels the "zoomed out" view is more pleasing with the current texture quality on the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsKNives Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 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. Awesome, thanks Tait! Hopefully they add this or at least make it optional. I much prefer the zoomed out view. Well it wouldn't be the first time a bug was declared as intended lol. I don't think it could be used exactly as-is, since there are some visual issues with it right now, but if they shifted the player position and camera it would probably look great. It's a bit broken for Inquisitors and also for other classes the perspective is a bit wonky or dark. For the Inquisitors part of the roof is missing and also the floor kind of drops off. You can also see in the picture of my sentinel that I posted, the little platform just outside the cockpit is really stretched out from that view. This leads me to believe that the ships in the character select screen are more like a television set than the actual ship, i.e., really stripped down and only look real because of the viewing angle. This would make sense because they want to load them as quick as possible and you can't move or change the camera angle anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBBP Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 NOOOOOOOOO! Mine went back to normal. Break it again!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurkoz Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 NOOOOOOOOO! Mine went back to normal. Break it again!!!!! It seems to reset on every log out. So pick a character, log in and then log out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XiamaraSimi Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm in the "please keep this new view" camp. The pose is a bit stiff, but I still prefer it to the zoomed in look, I spent a lot of money on how my chars look, the "bugged" panned view shows it nicely ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow us to set the view distance and apply any emote we have unlocked to our character log-ins! (Note: I'm kidding. In a perfect world, that would be great! But I'm sure actually implementing a change like that would take way more time and effort than would be justified for such a minor improvement to our overall game experience.)

Irongut Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Well it wouldn't be the first time a bug was declared as intended lol. That's not a bug, it's a feature! I too approve of our accidentally better character select screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandi Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I forgot to say in my last post that I like this way better as well. I most certainly hope they keep it this way, just fix the bug with it so it doesn't reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediRelentless Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 They couldn't fix the previous Character Select screen bug so they replaced it with a more attractive looking bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No promises, but I'll make sure they know. The characters look better from far away, please tell them to leave this one as long as it isn't causing any other issues.

Vhaegrant Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Not too keen on the perspective as it stands. The background looks too distorted. However, I do like seeing a little more of my characters on the log in screen than just the head-and-shoulders. Maybe, if an option the devs could leave the camera position fixed but push the character model back a little bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raansu Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) A bug thats actually good? lol. I actually like this. I always hated that the character select was zoomed in so much and it bugged me that I couldn't zoom out. Hopefully they turn it into a feature instead of fixing a bug.

Darth_Wicked Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 BURN IT! BURN THE WITCH!!!! I'm trying but I really can't see what other people are seeing. Maybe once I log in, the difference actually feels good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarlettDiablo Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The game doesn't look that good on my screen... and... yeah, what he said, creds and stuff info at the main screen would be nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurin Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 If you have to do anything at all, how about enabling mouse wheel to zoom in/out?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruskaeth Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It wasn't bad, But I'd rather they showed the characters credits and comms, myself. Yep. That would be awesome. Even better if that would be visible on legacy/family portrait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
