GG bow !
Hadn't thought of that. mostly because I'm not that good. I can definitely see how that would be annoying. I've recently graduated to looking around and tabbing. So looking and clicking is beyond me at the moment.

It is not just about what is better, it is about choice and freedom.

If you don't PVP it's not really a strategic loss, since all PVE is scripted so you just know what's going to happen, so you don't really need to see behind you, cause the battle is scripted and you should just know when and where monsters will be and what they are doing.

But in PVP you need to be able to see where ever you want to see at all times, Players are not predictable like NPC's.

Tab is nice for targeting sometimes, but in PVP you do not want to waste time tabbing through say 3-5 targets,you want to click the enemy you want targeted immediately, and if you happen to be running in any direction besides towards them, forced butt view screws you.

SO to sum up: forced butt view should be optional butt view, not forced.

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?
I hate the forced butt view. I would like the option to turn off the forced butt view. I would like to manually control my camera, not the game.

I guess my post is beyond your time.

Many people keep mouselook clicked to avoid the very issue the OP is talking about. I would rather keep it clicked and be able to strafe with wasd than use the mouse to pan around in a direction I am not heading. I may do this periodically but not nearly as much as I keep it pressed down. Unfortunately for me, we cannot remap right/left click for camera controls currently.

In DAoC this was called Camera Snap Back. You could disable it, and also control how fast it would return to the default position.

Something to do with the cameras that is much more important is this auto-zoom feature. When ever your camera is obstructed in-game - hitting a wall, tunnel, objective, etc - it sucks up behind your character. I'm constantly having to scroll back w/ the mouse wheel to get zoomed out. It's infuriating and really makes playing a melee class a chore.

I talked with a CSR about it, and they said it was a known issue that they are working on a fix for. I'm not sure if this was a BS line or not, but BioWare will owe me a new Razer pretty soon.

well I use my mouse for more then just holding off the forced butt camera angle, they need to fix this immediately

This seems like such an easy implementation I'm astonished that it never made it into the game...
