MaxCam
Returns the max camera distance
Slash Commands: /mc, /maxcam
(Old video)
- (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 (in Classic)
Only bad thing about zooming out to 50 is fps loss. IN my garrison I lose about 15 fps. I changed max distance to 1000 just for shits and giggles and zoomed all the way out - fps loss of about 30. Couldn't see much due to the fog though lol
So sad when Blizzard decided to take our zoom after 12 years. What a dumb decision! Thank you for being a beacon of hope. Wonderful addon!
Despite this making the game actually enjoyable to play again, as it always has been... I still ended up feeling dizzy and sick at the 50 zoom. Something is severely wrong with the rendering, FoV, camera, all of the above...
The fact that they are rushing out a hotfix to break this addon yet doing nothing to address the thousands of people feeling ill from just trying to play the live game is disgusting.
Time to find a new game.
The best addon in 7.0
Best addon ww since 7.0 !
Thank you so much for this addon.

i can finally enjoy WOW at 2k with max camera distance... such a huge change Kreygasm
I downloaded the addon and upon logging in... I felt freedom once more.
It's not going to last long for this world, sadly, but thank you for giving us one last round with the old camera max distance. /salute
This is the most fun I've had in WoW post pre-patch.
I "BOW" before you addon Author.
And to Blizzard, I have nothing to say to you.
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH... i STARTED hating wow after they nerfed the camera....
im so happy its back to normal with this addon. THANK YOU!!!!
Great addon, hope no one uses it to break the "#fantasy" and force blizz to hotfix it
Just ---- DO IT!
This bug was already scheduled to be fixed in an upcoming patch, but the addon now forced Blizzard to move it into a hotfix
@Ketho
Yeah, I guess I just don't want them to have an extra reason. If they break it, it should be clear they're breaking it strictly for the old distance *shrugs*. Anyway, thanks again. I haven't been able to play in weeks!
@Keyimin
Even if it was hard capped at 50, Blizzard probably would have nuked the addon from orbit anyway... at least that was my reasoning behind not capping it
First, thank you so very much. This is a godsend! I'm wondering if you might consider actually capping the max distance at 50 so as not to, shall we say, push our luck beyond what we're already pushing it?
Yep, they made it soooooooooooo much faster than it used to be, it's nauseating :/
Ah well, if you notice anything that an addon could use to effect zoom speed in other situations, please make it known. It would be a huuuuuuge boon to those of us who have been having motion sickness issues in 7.0 (:
Has Blizzard actually said this is bannable, or are people just assuming?
Curse addons are not bannable blizzard has mentioned this multiple times. The people saying that it is are trolls and nothing more. This addon is legit and it works.
Thank you so much for this . I dont have my hopes up high but lets hope blizzard aren't the dumb douche bags they seem to have become and leave this addon alone at least for those of us unable to play the game due to motion sickness.
Again thank you for this addon.
