Just make sure to put it in all your open beta surveys.

You know they'll be there.

I don't completely understand the problem. Is it hard to hold onto the left mouse button when you want to stay looking behind you? Or is there something I'm missing here?

I've been digging through the API and Lua to see if there was any options for toggling this camera behavior but there is no such option. So far as I can tell even a MOD wouldn't stop it.

Hopefully they make it a toggle!

If you look behind you as you are moving the camera swings back to the default position unless you counter it with your mouse. That isn't fun if you want to target the guy chasing you or need to click something during a fight.

the auto snapback drives me nuts and is one of my biggest pet peeves in war. i have sent feedback on it several times in CB and PW. if it isn't fixed when i log into OB it will be my first feedback.

"I don't completely understand the problem. Is it hard to hold onto the left mouse button when you want to stay looking behind you? Or is there something I'm missing here?"

Yes it is, because occasionally that mouse is doing other things like clicking on group windows or enemy players;x

IF holding the CTRL key is going to allow me to pan without snapping back and then clicking on whatever I want, that will be
totally exceptable. BUT, when you are targeting and clicking it needs to not snap back until you release CTRL key.

---------------

Exactly!

Moving players + moving camera + your moving avatar + optional lag = high targeting difficulty.

I don't believe it does snapback before you release the control key, but if say you want to use a skill while doing this you better remap all of your hotkeys to ctrl+hotkey or you are out of luck.
