Kryand Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the characters all appear bottom-heavy because of the stretching toward the edges of the screen, same as with the ship interior. The field-of-view is what's different, which causes that effect. What needs to change is the camera distance from the character. In other words, they would actually have to change something more than just a variable to get this to look right, so they probably won't bother. In some cases, the ship interior would also have to be changed, otherwise the camera would be inside a ship wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUXs Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I haven't seen it yet, but I do like the screen shots players are posting. I'd be all for this being changed for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiDonJorn Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hey I didnt read past the first page of the thread but I have an idea that would be really cool I think...so forgive me Im typing really quick and if someone already suggested this my apologies. I'm not going to start saying I thought of it first.. As well as keeping the zoomed out perspective and being able to rotate your character - have it where when you click on a character he draws his weapon(s) too. So whichever character is selected will be posed in action stance or whatever...gunslinger with his pistols out, sentinel with both saber drawn, sorceror with his saber drawn etc etc.. Pass THAT on to the Devs please Tait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halinalle Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 When I started playing today I was surprised when I saw the new view but then clicked other character... "It is just a bug. :(". Don't fix it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak_fireraker Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 When i 1st logged in the character select showed the zoomed out look, but i dont think i care for it b/c it looked like my ship was breaking apart (you could see stars around the area that you see in normal view - I should've taken a screen shot ) I clicked on a different toon to see how it looks & it reset to normal view & now everyone is back to normal view.

tomcn Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Here are screenshots of all 8 classes in the zoomed-out format for character select, along with my opinion about how good the zoomed-out perspective looks.

Aries_cz Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It is an interesting bug, but I would not want to see it being made permanent. And option, yes, but not permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XiamaraSimi Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) It makes for great character screenshots since the camera angles in game really suck for that... But if you have any kind of image editing software you can edit out the exess interior to make some really nice pictures. Warrior Inquisitor Agent Bounty Hunter Knight Consular Trooper Smuggler (If they put in a option like some suggested to let you zoom in and out as you wanted I would be ecstatic, especially if I could get my feet in the shots as well) Edited July 22, 2014 by XiamaraSimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yeah, keep this concept. I also support the idea of making credits, comms and stuff visable at the screen. Just add a character stat sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skulleader Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I don't know if anyone else has posted this but a minor "bug" with the new perspective is that customized dye selections for different armor parts aren't being shown. It seems like what's appearing is the unified colors version of the character's armor. I know, very minor point for something that may or may be removed anyway but regardless, I am also in favor of the "bugged" view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meglivorn Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) The ships in the background are weird but the less close-up characters look great. My vote is to keep the "bugged" one, too... or make them optional. Edited July 22, 2014 by Meglivorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno about you, but at least on my Smuggler, his dyes are showing right. Also... gotta say this makes for a pretty boss angle for my Warrior...

It seems like what's appearing is the unified colors version of the character's armor. This was a bug in the old version as well. Everything on my sniper is set to be matched to his chest piece except his head piece. In game it is correct, but when I log out, his head piece always shows the dye matched version.

theSCARAYone Posted July 22, 2014 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.

maximumdamages Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I like this new perspective. It makes me want to have them do more to that. Maybe a UI editor for the character selection screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
