[Camera] It's too close!

Can we get a response from the devs please?
i havent played yet but they should just have zoom options like you just scroll up or down on the scroll thingy on your mouse

What about making it a talent, something like "Hawk Eye" increases your sight,

I would have to agree with the general idea behind moving the camera further away from the player. One of my first thoughts when I started playing the game was 'Boy, my character sure takes up a lot of my screen'.

If you are concerned that letting people zoom out more would increase system requirements it could easily be made a video option (thus when checked you can zoom out more, but when it isn't checked you are not rendering the extra stuff on the edges of the screen)

My biggest issue with the camera comes mostly from combat. Nothing annoys me more than being shot at by a monster that is off the edge of my screen. Sure most missiles in the game are easy to avoid if you are paying attention but it feels a bit... wrong that a monster can become aware of me and start shooting me when I can't even shoot them until they are on my screen. The player should have the option to zoom out far enough that monsters who are not on their screen (and are not scripted in some way to be aware of the player when they spawn) are not shooting them. That is not to say you can walk and move a monster off the edge of your screen to 'reset' the monster, just that a monster becomes aware of you as soon as they cross your screen edge.
They have to address this problem sooner or later because it will make all the difference in pvp so might as well do it now.

The connection between aspect ratio and visual range is disgusting.
I can imagine using really wide custom resolutions to exploit the horizontal vision in pvp later on.

Now tell me that's not exploitative!
Agreed, I also play as a Ranger, and have res. 1680x1050... however still think it could have a little more zoom-out...

I got some other ARPG games below for comparison, all of them are far more zoommed-out:

Diablo2

Titan Quest (has a zoom-in function really close)

As everyone, I really expect an answer from devs.

This great game!!!
Thanks
Just a little zoom out would help a bit. But not too much otherwise the character would look small, then combat wouldn't get same feeling, that close and intense, etc... I personally like the zoom as it is now. But wouldn't mind a LITTLE zoom out.
