Nuff said? What do you guys think.

Either add an FOV slider or stop breaking my mod. Won't play the game again until I can get higher FOV, makes me motion sick. Such a shame to see the devs not taking this seriously. This should be priority number 1!

Yeah same, literally the reason I made the thread is because I was using that mod and the update made it inoperable. The default FOV makes me feel nearsighted.   

Yeah we need it pretty badly. Hopefully we won't have to wait for the next big update for it.

Hopefully, I can't see them doing a quick fix patch though, it'll probably end up in the next big update tbh.

They claim it will ruin the cinematic experience which is a really lame excuse.

It is, I played the mod for it and until the update came out it felt and played great!

basic and important feature ALL games have to HELP people that get motion sickness from this. 

I’ve voted, and I see the threads on the forums and various ideas on Reddit about wanting to use FOV. If the developers are lazy, then let the modders do it, for crying out loud! ​

Not going to happen. From what I understand the main reason is because of PVP and how small the maps already are. As of right now its not braindead obvious to just hold a corner with shoulder view. If the FOV happens then yeah it'll change the way PVP is being played rn. 

The other reason I think is because I think I recall some dev mentioning it'll be too difficult and break things in the campaign and executes

+1 for FOV slider.

If they are worried about the PVP side then for a fixed FOV for PVP. But right now by trying to stop an unfair advantage for the UW players, they have put them at a disadvantage, as we literally see no warnings behind us or when something is approaching behind that needs to be evaded.

I am going to go back to SM1 at this rate as that allows both the UW mod support and FOV support and can still safely play online. Just slap a reshade profile on it and it'll hold up.

Why do we need FOV updates?

IMO: FOV turns into an advantage for those who use it and a disadvantage for those who don't, esp those who can't due to vision. 

 I 100% agree w/no FOV in Campaign and PVP for now.   It is a solid design decision, and I respect it completely.  If one were to experiment, PVE Operations would be a proving ground to determine if it drives unbalance at scale.

I prefer a dynamic camera - the ability to shift from over the right shoulder to over the left shoulder, and one where camera position relative to player, fov, etc, was relative to player speed.  As a starting place...stand still?  Wider field of view.  Sprinting?  Tighter field of view.  Rolling? Super tight.  I would trust the design team to do the right thing here with feel but I can't say this is a huge priority.  I would much rather have beakies :) 

Another option would be to highlight enemy locations that are out of view, when related class abilities are activated.

if everyone has option to adjust FOV then its not an advantage or disadvantage in PvP. And let's be real, this isn't some hyper competitive PvP game, its very causal - so FOV slider isn't going to do anything other than make it more enjoyable for more people.

the other reason is just laziness, which is unacceptable.

Yeah I agree. At least have an option for campaign and operations if nothing else. I don't see a problem with an FOV changer for every gamemode really, if everyone has the option then there is no unfair advantage.

Wide FOV on a high-res PC is 100% advantage over stock console FOV unless you set everyone with the max view and people choose to narrow - otherwise you have visibility on your opponent that they don't have on you.

However, instead, what is the FOV a solution to? What is the problem you are trying to solve, and is there a problem behind the problem?  

If you like wide FOV so that you can see more of your opponents,  I like dynamic cameras because they turn the answer into part of the game, that also mimics how our vision works in reality - although has to be done carefully or it can cause confusion in the player base (wide sings in cameras are unfun), and I'd rather have more cool 40k stuff personally.  

If you were to say, wide FOV ...or... terminator missions assaulting gene-stealers + tyranids, mmm I know which I'd pick :) 

I thought that PC wasn't pairing with console for PvP (i.e. no cross platform PvP)? If that's the case, your note is not relevant. But yea, even if it were the case, set everyone at max and let THE PEOPLE decide on where they want to be with a functional slider.

FOV slider is so standard, it's shocking that it wasn't included at launch. The fact they effectively removed the FOV mod in the latest update is even worse. I mainly play PvE/operations and it was much more enjoyable with adjustable FOV. Basically stopped playing now cause it's hard to go back.
