you can zoom out and zoom in your camera with the scroll wheel on your mouse0

Are you at max resolution? If not that will make the screen bigger which will increase your field of vision. :eek:0

My resolution is "almost" 1280x1024.
I play in Windowed Mode and my desktop is 1280x1024.
For some odd reason, if in full mode (not windowed), my computer (windows xp) will not give PWI back mouse control when I alt-tab back into the PWI client. So, I switched PWI to windows mode to combat this.
I would prefer to play PWI in full mode at 1280x1024 and alt-tab in/out as needed.
But this is a topic for another thread and headache.
Now the issue I'm asking about doesn't isn't about any degrees of Field of Vision (FoV).
I'm asking about zoom out distance in 3rd person perspective.
I want to zoom out and see little ant people/monsters on the landscape... if I so choose.
Bottom line: I can't pull the camera (zoom out) out far enough and therefore can't see enough of the landscape to my liking.[Insert Sig Here]

If your laptop doesn't do that, then I have no idea ...0 -
I personally have that feature of the touchpad disabled due to it's general awkwardness ._.
However, F9 activates the 'camera mode' which although a zoom feature, has no functionality outside of preparing a screenshot.Any errors in thought, spelling or content have occurred during transmission.0 -

At the initial screen (before you even login), click on the Settings button and change your Resolution to something bigger. The default is 640x480, and at that resolution the controls do overlap a bit (I'm assuming the 'rectangle's you're refering to are the mob info, skill bar, etc)0 -

Thanks to Torhn for coloring!0 -
well you could change the hotkey functions - click on the gears at the bottom right corner and click the hotkey options. then change the key for zoom in/out to whichever key you want.0

Bad start. First post and its a one year old necro.I was early taught to work as well as play,
My life has been one long, happy holiday;
Full of work and full of play-
I dropped the worry on the way-
And God was good to me everyday.0 -
Closing this for necro.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0
