I’m with OP here.
I can’t even play for more than 15 minutes at a time because the zoom makes me sick and/or gives me a headache.
Any other issue is trivial until the field of view is fixed.
Why hasn’t blizzard at least acknowledged this request?
They have and they gave a very dubious excuse for not being able to zoom out. Specifically console (PS4) can’t render the game if zoomed out. So everyone is held back because of console players/cross play
Do you have a source for this? AFAIK this is just player hearsay.
The game already zooms out at certain times. When we are on the horse, that is the perfect field of view. If it was a console limitation, then why is it possible during exceptional times?
It was mentioned in the patch 1.1.1 campfire video
Edit to add time 1:31:55.
Just lower the graphics then!
Its a dead console anyway.
Did they get asked about zoom suring last fire chat?
I havent seen it asked since around retail release. they gave some BS excuse about how it couldnt be done.
The zoom aint bugged.
The close zoom in this game gives me headaches as well.

If it was really about PvP and pc / console, couldn’t they do something like just forcing the pc player’s view to zoom in to the current level while in pvp areas and allow more zoom in pve areas?

It’s not the same since the game is in 3D, the perspective changes. You can see the effect by zooming in/out in the game or hopping onto a horse while standing on a bridge. Notice what you can see under the bridge before and after you change the zoom level. But that’s aesthetical preference and is not what people mainly want with an extra zoom out level.
What people want is extra information and the vertical is actually especially important here because it has the shorter range. Back before the NM dg nerf, I always tried to move horizontally in my NM100 attempts since anything could one shot you. Secondly but maybe not less important, being too zoomed in is like watching the road just a couple of meters ahead of you when driving, it feels weird and can make you sleepy.

THIS 100000x times ^^^^^
I read every comment and all that smart talk up there sounds realy really good but i think the simplest answer is the best.
consoles cant handle the extra detail and information. Isnt that why a WB encounter that does zoom out look some terrible ?
thats not how it works at all.
21:9 is not zoomed out any more than 16:9. there’s just a wider horizontal view angle, showing more of the sides.
that has absolutely nothing to do with zoom. view angle and zoom are 2 completely different things.

they never went back over it again after mentioning it there. but no one said they can’t do it
People asked for this since the betas… Blizz goes ahead and fixes the zoom out… wait for it… on the minimap.

Diablo IV is catered to ultra-wide screen monitors.
You have to adjust your aspect ratio to Ultra-wide and you will get double the screen space
Keep the screen in Windowed and drag the top and bottom of the screen into Ultra-Wide.
Uhhhh no, they are still literally rolling out QoL and other changes DURING Season 2. Not only was the game not finished for launch, Season 2 isn’t even finished for the start of Season 2 - it’s absolute insanity. Leaderboards and other QoL Not ready til season 3 … This game wont be where it should have been at launch til Spring or summer - which isn’t surprising, since the reports are they wanted another year to work on it.
