Maximum camera distance

Hello.

I just wanted to give feedback on thing that most annoy me in PoE.

Overall I play PoE for years, I always come back to the game now and then, but am super irritated for one thing that is obscuring normal gameplay.

The camera is way too close.

Current camera zoom and angles allow you basically to fight in melee range. There is nothing like ranged on current max cam distance, when your character can actually see only few meters away. Equipped with bows or any ranged magic it makes it simply ridiculous.

I find many amazing features in PoE but surely, camera distance is one that is worst and still makes me rethink - why am I still here?

Right now even when you have ranged weapons and skills, you are melee, because you lack vision. I really hoped that this feature would be at last changed through patches, but somehow everyone skips it over and over again.

That's just my personal feedback.

And only bad thing about PoE I really encountered. All the rest of complexity in game, many builds and different systems are amazing! Thank you for creating this amazing game, GGG. You always make me come back here, because of how good PoE is.

And ofc every wise player knows that PoE is already better than D4.

POE 2 has camera zoomed out further and POE already zoomed out at least once if not twice.

The issue is performance is a big reason not to continue to zoom further and further out. It also gives ranged builds more advantages zooming out further, then melee in many cases.

It could probably be adjusted maybe a little bit more, but IMO it doesn't need to be super far out, like some ARPG games.

Remove MF from POE, make juiced map the new MF.
I would be satisfied with max camera twice as it is now. Ranged would get advantage, indeed, that's why you make ranged skills not as strong and melee skills stronger, because of lack of advantage - tho they still have vision, which gives them a lot.

Anyway, you know my feeling. The max camera is simply not enough at this point. Too many skills have range way out of your camera at this point, even while being ranged you feel melee.
