Please, give us the power to raise the camera

If we could be able to raise the camera, so our feet are at the bottom of the screen, it would make the close in view, not only useable, but bloody perfect! Unfortunately, since our feet are in the center of the screen, the first perspective, the closest view, is only really useful, in looking at our cool gear, and the far away view does not allow us to play, and enjoy your amazing art/world. Your game is great, thank you :slight_smile:

If you were able to raise the camera it wouldn’t be isometric view but 3rd person. And that’s a totally different game engine/mechanic.

That is the purpose of the zoom in isometric games.

Not sure what you mean by this. It’s a standard isometric view used in all ARPGs. Why can’t you play like that?

Holy snaps, thanks for the super fast response. We can play like that, you bet, we have to, cause no one will take the step to add a raise or lower camera option. We have no choice, but I was hoping, being an amazing company to produce such a great game, adding it, could be quite innovating. You are correct sir, it would be something new, which by the looks of your game, you don’t fear, but how is raising the camera, so our feet are lower on the screen, making it third person, a totally different game engine. Its raising the view up, so your feet are closer to the bottom, because when you feet are center screen, you are on purpose, limiting your game an of an incredible view.

Isometric game engines have, by their own nature, a single camera that only zooms in/out. ARPG isometric games are even more limited in that they’re ALWAYS centered on your characters (as opposed to regular RPGs or strategy games where you can shift the camera to the side). That means that the coding for the camera is pretty simple(ish).

Allowing you to raise the camera for 3rd person mode would also require rotating the camera left and right as you’re moving, otherwise you won’t see your enemies. So instead of a fixed camera that is relatively simple to manage, you now have a free camera that will require a lot more managing from the game and can potentially lead to deadly situations where the camera isn’t panning correctly and you can’t see the battlefield.

It might be doable. It’s just a lot more to code/manage and I don’t expect that will be a priority any time soon.

Any significant changes to the camera would have huge cascading effects.

Especially with the 3d Models in the environment. I do not know how EHG handle it, but a lot of the time 3d Models only have hi resolution in the side the player can see. If the camera would be rotateable or would have a different angle this would cause EHG A LOT of work to keep the quality up.

Thank you Heavy. Oh, that is odd. I have them, they just must have to register or something.

I am sorry, I accidentally pressed delete. I am just adding to wish list, if we can get the ability to move the camera up to 2 inches, so your the view of your character is the same perspective, but giving a better view of the battle. Thank you :slight_smile:

Only if you’re mainly moving north, if you’re moving south you’ll have a very limited field of view & a lot of mobs will be attacking you “offscreen”.

When you go to your profile and go to bagdes? There are no badges?

Sounds like you should contact their support. Not sure what the issue is.
