Re: Official Guild Wars 2 Thread You sure you didn't change anything....they've been working on this:
»forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/in···eta-Test
I use it, and it's definitely better with it enabled, imo, but you have to manually turn it on, afaik, so not sure how yours would have been switched on and then off without interaction.

| /sigh Webcentzd. I'll read it when I get home. I don't think I changed anything, at least not intentionally. lol
Thanks for the help.

| I don't see any patch notes posted yet, so you are not missing anything. For some reason I can access the official forums. I suspect one or more of the IT guys plays this game and wants to read it, so made an exception in Websense for it haha.
If there are patch notes/leaks elsewhere, I don't know about it yet. |

This was implemented towards the end of Oct, so this isn't breaking news or anything.
Text from the link I gave above:
FOV (Field of View) Changes Beta Test
We’re ready to beta test a change to our FOV (Field of View) that should provide a better experience for those with widescreen monitors. We want your feedback about the change to help us decide whether to deploy it to all players.
To help test, you’ll need to add a special command line to your GW2 client’s shortcut. Here’s how:
1) Create a shortcut to your GW2 client (right-click -> “Create Shortcut”)
2) Right-click the GW2 client shortcut
3) Click “Properties”
4) Locate text field labeled “Target.”
It should contain the file path of your shortcut, and will look something like this:C:\Games\Gw2\Gw2.exe
5) Type -testVerticalFov at the end of the Target line
Be sure to include a space between .exe and -test.
The line should look like this: C:\Games\Gw2\Gw2.exe -testVerticalFov
Please note that your Target line may or may not have quotation marks. If it does have quotation marks, this tag should go outside of them. So it will look like this:
“C:\Games\Gw2\Gw2.exe” -testVerticalFov
6) Once the command line has been added, click Apply -> OK.
7) That’s it! Jump in and play with this new setting, and post your feedback in the following thread: »forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/su···st551648
If at any time you want to return to the old FOV, simply remove the –testVerticalFov from your target line and it’ll return to normal.

| Well, I'll be damned. Thanks Koil. Funny thing is I never set up anything. It was there for awhile and then gone. lol. I'll fix it when I get home though.

kudos:1 | Just gives you more FOV on the sides for widescreen. |
|
| so is what I am currently seeing now on my widescreen distorted?
like a square being stretched onto a rectangle?
with WoW and Tera, widescreen just means more is visible on teh sides with widescreen vs. square monitor. no distortion |

(These aren't mine...taken from the GW2 forum thread about the FOV: »forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/su···k-Thread )
Just check out the thread to see the different pics. The ones I posted blew the margins big time.

| Seems more zoomed out, and like the toon is more centered in the screen vertically
similar to what happens in large events already in the game
