Physically uncomfortable to play - lots of neck strain

[Brad]

To see the unit stats and the board simultaneously, you have to keep the board below you and stare at the floor while supporting a VR headset with your neck. Super uncomfortable. Can't play for more than 10 minutes without wanting to take a break because my neck hurts.

The table tilt is great, but why do you make it impossible to see unit stats when looking at the table top-down?

I have the same problem. I tried playing again today, but it's just too painful. Granted, I do have medical neck issues, but they've never stopped me from playing any other VR game until this one.

I tried the tilted map, but it's really awkward. I really want to just zoom in and walk among the game pieces, but the bizarre grab-to-move mechanic makes that untenable. It takes forever (well, relative to other VR games) to just do the very basic task of moving/turning myself, so I end up trying to just play from a far enough vantage point, at which point the neck pain returns.

I want to like this game, but it just leaves me feeling disappointed by the poor camera controls, and/or the pain in my neck.

Tilt the board with your left thumbstick up to 90° ...

I've had the best experience by honestly sitting cross-legged in the center of the play area, and dragged the environment to eye level for me so I'm looking straight at all the pieces. Obviously I have to pan it all around at times but it's helped.

I'm well aware you can tilt the board, and even mentioned it in the post. However, this is useless because you can no longer see unit data from the top-down view.

I'd like to think at some point they will correct the unit data to tilt with the view eventually, however, playing from a top down view isn't practical right now, i find tilting the board 3-4 notches is enough to relieve neck strain and see unit data. Imo it's also very weird looking at a 3d board from the top down anyway, angled about half way is ideal imo, but to each their own.

Guys... Just tilt the board a tiny bit. But yeah it would be cool to see the data rotate with the camera angle so a more top down view gives the same data
