(Update 8/5) https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/4w81l9/watcher_ion_hazzikostas_on_max/

(Update 9/17) in patch 7.1 the default UI slider was removed and the cvar renamed to cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor

You can also use this command instead of this addon

/console cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor 2.6

Is there a way to change the Zoom Increment with a command or with a Cvar browser?

No, you need to prehook the zoom functions with a script or addon, it could alternatively maybe be done with a weakaura

Blizzard did not provide any command or CVar for convenience

local increment = 4 -- default is 1 local oldZoomIn = CameraZoomIn local oldZoomOut = CameraZoomOut function CameraZoomIn(v) oldZoomIn(increment) end function CameraZoomOut(v) oldZoomOut(increment) end

Are you satisfied with the current 39 yards distance or do you miss the old 50 yards distance?

just heared about this addon. Tryed it out but the max camera didnt change for me. Did blizzard break max camera addons or does it just need to be updated for 7.3 ?

Are you using DynamicCam?

MaxCam won't load if that addon is loaded, since DynamicCam has the same features and more

Ow, MaxCam indeed also won't work if FasterCamera is loaded since they are basically the same addon

This one borders on cheating but I'll give it a go.

The 50 to 1000 yards camera distance was only possible for one week in August 2016 if you read the reddit thread, now it's limited to 39 yards like any other addon

I did post those screenshots below but they were for nostalgic purposes and only taken during that time

There were no camera changes for this minor patch so there is no need for an update

So are we going to be getting an update for 7.1?
I know we can just issue the command once now, but I like the increased scroll speed.

Blizzard just announced that they will be hotfixing so this add-on will not work no more...

From Game Designer Watcher:

Recently, a number of players have reported some relief through using a new addon that allows them to bypass any and all limits on zoom distance. That addon takes advantage of a bug that has existed for some time but gone unnoticed (passing a negative value into a function). In an upcoming hotfix, we will be fixing that bug and thus causing that addon (and others like it) to honor the standard camera limits.

See : http://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20748204616?page=8#post-147

Give the proper information friend...

''However, in that same hotfix, we will also be raising the hard cap on camera zoom to a midway point between what was possible prior to 7.0, and what is possible through the in-game interface options. This increased cap will allow power users to once again be able to extend their camera distance via a console command, should they so desire. The choice of the new max was informed by reports from players regarding what zoom distance eased the discomfort they were experiencing. Ultimately, we would prefer to address the underlying issues rather than relying on increased zoom to mask those issues, but now that patch 7.0.3 is live and we cannot properly iterate on the sort of changes that would be required, reapplying the band-aid is preferable to leaving an open wound.''
