    Default Boss Monster Close Ups?

    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.

    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
