Camera zoom/positioning
Been playing this for a few things, I've found 2 issues with the in game camera
1) the camera zoom is very limited in general
2) the camera tilt is more extreme than other ARPGs at full zoom
3) the camera is fixed at the center of the player

this combination causes the player to be able to see and interact with objects much further to the north. It also gives an unfair advantage to ultra wide resolutions (which i use) over square ones.
this effect is especially bad when using long ranged skills or using any non-rogue movement skill to move about the map, where your movement or range is basically determined by the camera situation

I think a simple fix would be to let the camera slowly pan towards the cursor, giving more visibility/range without sacrificing detail. it could also be biased towards north/south movement and limited in the east/west directions for wide resolutions to level the playing field

lmk what you think
This game is awesome btw

Camera is better than PoE, so there is that.

I think PoE's camera is offset below the character a bit to compensate for the camera tilt, but yeah, I think they could both use some extra zoom

well the most Games of this Genre for some reason dont give a fck about there Cameradesing and field of view. i would also highly prefer a free camera like in league of legends for example. but then the game would need to build a whole new Vision desing so that you cant see anything with camera moving, esspecialy for a MP modus that hopefully soon comes.

yeah for balancing reasons we would need fog of war to make vision standard. but using limited camera for it feels bad and gives ultra wide aspect ratios a leg up. league sorta has that problem too but with free cam its not too bad
