[Nando Neri]

Wait, but, normal players can already do it? its already a thing?

It's a "higher authority" feature...not a player feature. I believe Falm got a little testing love from sts mods during that video.

Actually...Its even worse in Ashral tower (outside only FULL PURPLE) and in windmoore.
Wanna see the picture in windmoore?


Here's why:

This is a picture in Windmoore behind Shazbot (as a Dev I can move the camera around).

Notice that there is no geometry for the rest of Shazbot's wagon? Also, notice that there is nothing out over the water that you can see from Windmoore? The game lacks a lot of "extras" in the environment in an effort to help keep the framerate of your device good when you play. The entire game is built around a fixed camera. If the camera were to be unlocked and freely rotated, users would see all this "broken" stuff. If we fill in all the other stuff, then everyone has to suffer with worse framerate just so that some people can rotate their cameras.

Also, all of our new user testing of Pocket Legends, Star Legends and Dark Legends pointed out problems that the average user has playing the game and dealing with a freely rotating camera. Arcane Legends is simply more user friendly because of a fixed camera.

Sorry, but the camera will not be made to be freely rotated. I hope the above helps you better understand why.

Thanks for playing Arcane Legends!
And, Falm have his own magic, but he cant share his magic, even his magic is a secret.

I looked around in the forums, appearently the camera rotation is already IN the game, it's just locked.

Some people know how to unlock it, it could still not be a feature but the mods could at least tell how to unlock it to us, the players who are intrested in rotating the camera.. i posted a thread about this..

But in that picture, the camera is inside the building, that happens in lots of games and mmos with third-person prespective..

Is there any stuffs inside the building? No, u can just see its inside
I hate camera rotation in SL and other legends games, when I keep hitting enemy, I cant see THE ENEMY so clearly, this is why I should turn off the camera rotation.


Camera rotation for PvE and PvP has been discussed many times already. Devs made it clear this wasn't going to happen because of the way their graphics engine has been set up.

So, I don't think it will happen 'ASAP' or even 'ALAP' (as late as possible ).

Yeah, we've beat this to death. It is not planned to change. As it stands, the fixed camera is something you need to get good at dealing with in PvP. Use it to sneak by people, know your blind spots, etc.

Omg. Do want. I wish that STS would just let the players who want this feature use it. There should be a warning screen when toggling camera lock, saying that some of the maps in-game may not look complete when not using camera lock.

You have now made 2 threads, and Necroed one... Stop.

[inkredible]

falmear made tha video just to prove it is possible but he does not use it, i believe you can get introuble from sts by using camera rotation because
it provides unfair advantage and as from what i heard its not as great as it seems, there are some missing graphics.

i dont recommend this to anyone

Yup.

Just to be clear, camera rotation isn't on the roadmap.
