Don't know if this is a glitch or not, but every once in a while when I get near a bigger enemy or boss the game camera zooms in and gets a close up of it.
Is this suppose to happen? It kinda freaked me out at first, but since it dose not really affect my game, I won't complain.

Lol....it only seems to do a closeup for some bosses, not the other. Any particular reasons?

Working the kinks out of it. I would expect to see numerous additional, more complex story-driven cinematics in future content updates. The ones we have for existing bosses will get cleaned up (and proliferated throughout the 'Boss' monster roster) quite soon.
Thanks!

I like the close-up. It puts you in character when a giant green troll screams in your face!

This sounds awesome. I was a bit distracted the first time I saw the mutant smurf coming at me, but once I was aware it might happen, it didn't interrupt the flow of the game for me at all.

I think its great- Loved it when I first saw it!
I would definitely vote for more cinematic moments, keeping them light, of course, so as to fit in the spirit of the game...
I got to say, the first time it happened, I was so surprised I nearly dropped my iPhone.

This would be much cooler if we could get an over-the-shoulder view.
Have the camera do a clean, smooth, and quick zoom in on the monster. Then zoom back to character. (Instead of just flashing over to the Boss for a sec, then flashing back.)

It also zooms in on your character when you level up, which got me all warm and fuzzy inside when I saw my chicken glow when he hit 28. Helps to emphasize the moment. I actually liked the boss zoom-in thingy... it was actually pretty humorous and startling at first, but I like Ta11on's idea of making it an over-the-shoulder view... that would be sweet.

I like Taiion's idea too. I didn't like the boss zoom at first but it grew on me. I like the lvl up zoom. I too and up for more cinemaitics.
Keep up the great work devs!
I wish you guys handled car repair. This place is pissing me off!

I love the zooms, they add a little bit of in-game coolness. :) Especially when you lvl up, because then it's like YESSSSS. :D

I've had all my chars sitting at 35 since before this started. Can't wait to see what the level up cut scene looks like :)

I LOVE the boss closeups... I've jumped w fright twice! The closeups look very sophisticated and fun! I also like my young character jumping up & down when she levels. Very cool.

I like the Closeups too. They are very smooth. What I do not like... Is 700 ping during battles. I can sit right next to my router.... 400-1000 ping all day. It was not like that before...
