Keen-eyed viewers of today’s developer chat will have noticed something a little different. The zoom level.
During the stream, there was footage showing a more zoomed-out view and it’s been confirmed that players will be able to adjust the zoom level via a slider.
When starting the game it will be at the current standard zoom level but it can be adjusted to be more zoomed out. This is a welcome change because I have always found the zoom level just a little too tight.
Seen some people question if the camera/view distance change is just for Season 4.
Just to be absolutely clear, it is in the game for good. There will be two options.
The “Standard” option which is the distance currently in the game and “Far” which is the expanded distance.…

There has also been some debate about the zoom level being too zoomed in causing players to fall asleep. While I have no evidence for that, it could be possible. Any experts feel free to chime in on that 🙂
In the shot below you can see the zoom level is further out than we are used to. This is much better and closer to what we see in previous Diablo games.
