Trees... a love/hate relationship.

Albeit I love the trees and especially the variety of trees in the game, I find myself commonly hunting in woodland areas and the trees are always frustrating since I oft cannot angle my camera appropriately to see what is going on.

The other day, I played a game that had trees (and some other objects that commonly block views, such as bushes etc.) appearing between the avatar and the camera to become nearly transparent, and all the trees, bushes etc. appearing in front of the avatar would remain fully visible.

I found it to be some pretty handy tech, and in our case, might provide significant improvements to a woodland experience.

Just a thought

Love the game! Keep up the great work and take your time, please

 

Certainly one of the more frustrating aspects of SotA.

 

fighting through a screen full of trees truly is a pain. you cant see if things are getting behind you, or how close to death they all are, and I seem to spend half my time trying to find a better spot or view point so I cam see whats going on... I guess the simple answer is the camera needs to be restricted to the character side of the tree. even if that means seeing most of the back of your head

 

I think making trees transparent when they come between the camera and your avatar is a much better solution.

 

Your camera already bounces off the trunk of the tree, which works as that second solution suggestion when you keep your camera low. But when you're looking down as we typically do at a higher angle, that tree's branches be all up in yer face
