FoV = Failed makes me sick help!

[Arsonist]

Big time LoL player thought I would give dota 2 a shot considering I started with dota in w3. Gameplay an mechanics were good for the 30 m I was able to handle the game. Long story short game makes me feel ill after playing more then a few minutes.

Ive seen more games lately come out with really wacky Fields of view like these guys completely forgot that really small FoV's make people sick. Guild wars 2 had this problem but with player feedback they increased the fov.

With one quick google search (dota 2 fov) my first two pages filled up with people with the exact same issue. This game has been in BETA how long? Have the devs said anything about Field of View or possibily changing it or giving us a option? Will this game allow mods to change youre fov? I'd like to play but no way without a way to zoom out or change my fov.

I used to get that really ill feeling and a headache when playing DotA2 as well. Switching from LoL to DotA is very noticable but I guess I got used to it, since it doesn't happen anymore.
It feels claustrophobic at first and you will eventually get used to it or just given up on it.

Everywhere I read about it the FOV is some strategic bs.. or at least thats what most people claim when responding to those threads. The UI is supposed to be big on purpose and the camera close, is what I got from most people.

It would not be as bad if we could resize the minimap/hud at least.

There's a mod roaming around that increases the fov, but I do think, as far as mod goes, it gives an advantage to the game so I'm going to leave the link out. There's also the option of wiisndow mode and lowering graphic quality to decrease stimulus. I don't particularly know what links to this dizziness as I don't experience it myself.

(The UI is awful, especially if you're on the radiant, somewhere in the workshop, you'll find a HUD that makes the "design" part of UI transparent. Find it and vote for it.)

Also make sure you're zoomed out.

It gets better, you just have to be used to it.

Go back to League of Losers if you dont like dota.

yea, the FoV is a pain sometimes. but you do get used to it. and the game is free, so if ya dont like it, then you've lost nothing but time, and frankly we all have a little time on our hands.
