I was also very surprised to find this couldn't be turned off, even in PvE when travelling around I like to take in the vistas from different angles not snap back.

Nonethless as a pvper moreso this is very annoying, and makes pvp like mariokart , or butt ball.

You can make all the voice overs you want (and this is from a Bioware Baldurs Gate fan through all the rest) people eventually get bored of this and the WZ intros, however this camera is basic game play please fix.

If one thing kills this game, it will be the total lack of feedback from Bioware...

^^^^^^

/signed
etc etc. This is one of those interface BASICS that make my brain hurt when I try to think about how the game got all the way through alpha and beta without getting addressed. PLEASE fix this. Then maybe Huttball will be glorious as it was meant to be. I mean, YOU CAN'T THROW THE BALL WHILE MOVING?? REALLY? Cmon.

this is actually already possible. use left mouse button while running
or right mouse button together with strafing.

i have no issues seeing what is behind me etc.

though, this of course does not mean that for some of your the mentioned feature would be useful. it does no harm to others so it would be a nice addition, though one i don't care for.

edit: but i think this is such a low priority feature, especially considering that you actually could see evrything using the available options that i would not expect it coming soon.

edit: also i assume the number of players wanting this is quite low, thus it never got on the todo list for the release.

Ill sign on to this.

I cant even start to explain how many times in Huttball i have wanted to punch my monitor becouse of this.
Trying to pass the ball to the right, while running an other direction, automaticly turns your camera away and makes you loose your target.

But also the problem with camera zooming in everytime your camera is getting blocked.
It makes me having to scroll the camera out every 15 to 30 seconds in Hutball.

Too bad when left clicking to rotate the camera to see the two republic players on your butt you can't in the meantime use your mouse to select one of them as target to fire off an ability.

Anyway people's hitbox are so effing small it's like hitting the target in robbin hood from 1mile away.

Best bet is to right click turn in a sec and tab praying to get the good target at the same time.

or right click+ strafing.


Anyway, the camera taking 5 WHOLE SEC TO ZOOM OUT when you get obstacles out of your butt is way worse for me as a melee, especially in narrow corners or in voidstar doors for eg

i can, using strafe walking, jumping etc. i can use my mouse to place/target every thing everywhere while i run in any other direction.

but this is not my point. i agree it will be easier with the demanded feature. and i agree it would be wellcome and there is no reason to not add it.

so i sustain your wishes. but it is a very low priority feature compared to what work overall there still is to do. even though this feature can be implemented pretty fast.

i do not want to say your wishes are stupid or useless etc. no. but i want to say you you can work around it, it is not ideal but you can. and it has a low priority on the "fixing list".

edit: p.s. you know you can set a hotkey to target the one in the middle of your screen? maybe this should replace your usual tab targeting.

Huh there is a keybind for targeting the middle one person in a group in front of me ? Nice.

I usually stick it with TAB targetting, but sometimes it's a mess

I totaly agree with this Camera auto pivoting bak issue. Bioware you guys need to fix this ASAP, since i've been leveling its been endurable but barely, if I wasn't a Star Wars fan i'd be unsubscribing because of this. It feels like I don't have control of my character and very hard to pvp or anything that requires me moving foward while clicking behind of me for what ever reason need be. Small issue that we should have feedback and timeline at least. If not you will loose alot of players on this issue, good luck hope you guys get with the program soon.
