Camera Angle while swimming

[Lurian]

Is there a way to turn off the camera feature that forces your camera below the water line when swimming in water? It's annoying and i have to constantly jump out of the water to see the object i am swimming to.


Also, with quests in my quest log I can't see the stats of the items in the rewards section-anyone else having this issue?

there is an option in the camera section of settings, i think its labelled something like "camera collision with water" turning it off gives you control over whether your camera is above or below the waterline, regardless of if youre underwater or not

as for the second question, i think i have had that issue, cant tell you if its common or not though, i rarely do quests that reward items that im interesting in hovering over anymore

Thank you, that makes a huge difference-I wonder why they have that set as a default setting...

yes i've noticed this issue after the last hot fix / downtime.It could have been happening before but i didn't notice until recently.

It happened a few months ago. For some it was disconcerting having the camera jump around all over the place while swimming on the surface, hence the ability to enable/disable depending on taste.

I have tried unchecking this option and I am still stuck viewing under the water line while swimming. Tried rechecking it and still under the water line. It's hugely annoying not being able to see where I am going without having to jump above the water line every few seconds.

Make sure there is no Apply/Save option you're not clicking. I've unchecked that box on multiple toons without a problem.
