The damned camera follows you and turns onto your butt when you move.Maybe some of us want to see more then our butt when we move, and want to be able to see behind or to the side as we run.

Turn your camera so you have a side view of yourself, then move, the camera spins and centers on your butt.

THis has literally nothing to do with WoW. all other games MMORPGs and single player normally don't force butt view on players
Not if you hold left click while moving. l2p

right now, this is what I do.

I run around. If i want to turn, strafe, etc, I hold right mouse to turn as I run. If I want to survey the field to see where I need to run into the fight, I hold left mouse and look around. As soon as I start running, (or if I was just looking around while running straight) the camera snaps back to back view.

What I wish I could do is have a set up where I could turn and look without holding down a mouse button. In SWG, which I am most familiar with, I could have two set ups, mouse look and mouse pointer. I left it in mouse look. moving my mouse around caused my camera to look around. If I were running, I would always run toward the cursor. If I hit ALT, I then got my mouse pointer. My pointer could go anywhere on the screen and my character would not turn. If I wanted to turn in that mode I had to wasd.

I agree. For me, not being able to turn off the smart camera was a real immersion-breaker at first. I like to look around when I run from A to B, but the smart camera makes it less enjoyable, really. Sort of feels like a video game future, and not a pc game...

I really want the option to turn it off!

Ya sure someone can hold down the left mouse button for it not to pivot back, but for those who actualy know how to play without the camera auto-pivoting back can actualy click other enemy players around them or npc's and get ready ahead of time and own even more, but i guess not every player realizes this because their skillz are mediocre at best.

Question...

Why is it, that every time I start to walk forward, my camera wants to turn face the direction I'm walking?

Man, funk dat.

Question....

Why is it, that every time I try to look for an option to turn off the cameras smart pivot option, it's not in the preferences?!

Maann, FUNK DAT!!

My question is why do people who enjoy the forced butt view get so mad at the players like us who do not enjoy the forced butt view?

What is the problem with you people? Just because you enjoy butt view does not mean the rest of us need to be forced into butt view, WHy are you so angry that we want an option to turn off forced butt view?
