Zooming Out

Are there any types of macros which would enable me to zoom out further than the default cap? Max zoom atm is still too close for me. And also is there any macros to change the size of the cast bar?

    I've been saying this for ages, and filed at least one bug about it. I want to zoom out so that I am *at least* another 50% further from my character than the current maximum zoom.

    This is a particular pain for those of us with large displays. Everything looks really up-close.

    /bind camdist <value> will set the distance your camera is from you. I think the default distance is 30. It goes from 0 - at least 75. You should be able to bind that to a key but I haven't played around with it yet. Wodah used to have a thread about keybinding, but now that they've archived the beta stuff I don't know if we can get to it or not.

    I will try the keybind and see how that works. However, something in settings should be there for us to play around with if that's possible.

    Thanks a lot, it works perfectly. I set my keybind as '/bind F12 camdist 50'.

    You can change the size of the cast bar by hitting F12 (assuming your new camdist bind isn't on it) and resizing the green box.

    Excellent, thank you for this tip!

    /Camdist 1000 for epic screenshots.

    Not working, everything is resizable except for the cast bar. :confused:

    I've used the camdist command in game, but the issue I have is that as soon as I move the mousewheel, it springs back to the default max.

    Does this keybind command prevent that?

    I'm constantly adjusting camera distance based on circumstance, and what i'd really like to do is adjust the MAXIMUM camera distance, moreso than the current

    Well, that sounds like a possible bug. Let me see what the UI team says.

    /agreed and /signed

    please permit us a greater range of scrolled camera distance...
