Max camera zoom?

[Zaketherake]

Is there a setting in game to increase the max distance i view my character?I know scrolling or using the - + on numpad control it, but i was wondering if it could zoom out any further than that?

Yes, there is an option in there, probabbly under Graphics, for setting your maximum zoom distance.If I remember right, it was a slider bar, in one of the top two Expander Boxes, using a selection on the left that did not apply to the camera view.  Check through all the options, and check the first or second expander box for that slider bar, and it should be in there somewhere.

Yea i've been looking through graphic settings for 20 minutes but I can't find what it's called..Wait, i think i found it.Under controls, it is View options. That is the furthest it goes correct, if max camera distance is set to max?

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">If you want to increase the view distance even further, you can add the following line to your eq2.ini file:ics_maxcameradistance <1-20>That should increase the maximum distance from Everquest 2's default.</span></span>

<p>FYI: the default max is set to 10 and the eq2.ini command can max out at 15. It's been reported as 20 but minimal testing will show that there is no difference between 15 and any number above that.</p>

Well, I had just sent them /feedback just a couple of days ago on increasing the max camera distance so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

That's because they changed the max setting to 35, although it has been reported by others that if you set the max via the ini file to greater than the actual max that you may still experience a bit of an additional gain. I currently have mine set to 60.

Oh no, not even close. I can see about 15 steps in all directions. Meaning that if I were to stand at the mailbox and Walk forward I could see the mailbox up to the 16th step, or so. Before the change it was about 6 steps.
