[zinner62]

<p><span ><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span><p>I log on to Test and  find that  the zoom  feature has been changed  WHY  WHY  I ask you   would you  change  this  as far as I can tell  it was not broken in any way   and was  fine   but  you chose to change it  to this  1st person or 3rd person view  Why  I ask   Why  I HATE THIS    HATE IT   Please  change it back  I do not get  these  changes   who comes up with this   I would  think that   the time  spent on makeing this change would have been better  spent  on other things. not this  foolish  change  I can not see changing   something as basic  to the game play as this change.do  you  think  to ask  what  we think  NO   you just  change this   for  as far as I can see NO GOOD REASON  this is WRONG  WRONG  I TELLL YOU !!!!! I am not the only one   that feels  this way.</p><p>I do not complain  but  this  takes  the cake </p><p>FAIRHAIR</p></span></p>

<p>Err....punctuation plz?  And I'm having a little bit of a difficult time understanding, what was the change?</p>

<p>I do not believe it was an intentional change I think its more a bug than anything.</p><p>What it does is is only give you 1st person view, or pans the camera all the way out when using the scroll wheel with no in between settings.</p>

I use my wheel to adjust how far I view all the time and especially for screenshots.</p>

<p>Oh good, not just me.</p><p>I don't have a mouse wheel, I use a trackball mouse, but I do use the - and + keys on the num pad to zoom in and out.</p><p>I can get right into first person, or waaaay out far.  It won't stop just behind my toon.</p>

<p>I think it's pretty clearly a bug. There's also an issue with some armor not showing correctly; the textures aren't being drawn, and all you see is the underlying "wire mesh" for the various pieces. They're obviously doing some work with the client graphics, and a few things got screwed up in the process.</p>

<p>I sure hope this is a bug.  I am constantly using the scroll while moving around zones to pan the view back and forth to my liking.  It's hard for me to play my toons at all on the test server.  I've sent in a bug report on it.  Hope it gets resolved and back to the way it was.</p>

<p>Looks like a bug...on Testcopy even the keyboard control (numpad +/- by default) are doing the same thing.</p><p>Would be nice to see a red name comment as this is a seriously big issue.</p>

<p>Also.. reflections aren't working either.</p>

[Brasse]

<p>I have the issue as well, and only on Test Server. The zoom function works just fine on live servers.</p><p>Like others who have posted here, using either the mouse scroll button or keyboard (keypad +, -), my character switches from first person to max zoom distance in third person, with absolutely nothing in between.</p><p>As I get motion sickness in first person, and the max distance is incredibly awkward anywhere other than open plains zones, I hope that this is addressed soon. Pleeeeaaaase!</p><p>;-)#</p><p>Brasse</p>

<p>Mouse wheel is a bug and they are aware..</p><p>From SOE Dev Kaitheel:</p><p>  And although I know that the camera issue is being dealt with, I would suggest you focus your feedback about that particular problem on the already established threads pertaining to that topic.</p><p><a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=441148" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #b5c7c2;">Mouse Wheel Zoom</span></span></a></p>

<p>Hi All,</p><p>I was reading through the feedback and noticed a lot of people are bothered with the mouse wheel change.  I wanted to make sure everyone knew that it is a bug, we have a fix internally and we'll be getting it out probably in the next test patch as soon as it passes QA.</p><p>Thanks for your patience and the great feedback.</p><p>- Kirstie</p>
