Can anything be done about the view distance?

Recommended Posts

Title for reference;

View distance is still super short. Can we get a word on when this issue will be addressed?

I have the settings changed to max via ingame console. The problem must rely on a server imposed limitation due to the overpopulation.

Thanks for replying Xerox. Unfortunately I have already done this, but to no avail.

I just want to know when or if it'll be back to normal.

It'll be back to normal when the server isnt strained, they opened zeth'kur for this reason but people still seem to be attached to overpopulation and queue's.

Thats not view distance, thats camera distance.

 

The view distance he's talking about is limited by the server no matter what you have set in video settings.

Ahhh I see.

Discomforting, but most likely the most truthful answer.

It is indeed server controlled. But will the servers ever get to a point where the population is low enough to give a "normal" nameplate view distance?
I am playing on ZK, and since any range addon is a hack of spell range etc, its hard to know for sure. But i think its about 10y on ZK atm.

What "view distance" is it you are talking about? Often times when people use this term they are talking about farclip. this doesn't seem to be the case here lol, especially considering that is capped at 777 client side in vanila.  

the distance you can see mobs and players, i supose

Client sided: Landscape (Static objects like trees, houses, fences...)

Server sided: Players, NPCs, spawnable objects...

 

I guess he means the server sided part which can be only server sided configured, mostly depending on the map (Open world, BGs, Instances...). Some cores allow also dynamic view distances depending on the load / amount of players in the same grid.
