The black color in powers. Avatar view distance

The color black in powers is supposed to be black, not invisible. If you want that, make a separate color. It is possible to have real black in powers - in the Fiery Melee set, for example. There you can have a black scrimitar and breathe a cone of blackness, so transparency instead is some problem with interpreting it elsewhere. And why are powers set to all-black or Dark wine-red instead?

Playing with tall characters is inconvenient, because they block most of the view. One has to scroll the camera out constantly. I have a wonderful character grown out to the maximum eight feet, but he is more or less unplayable. The default camera distance should be configurable.

That doesn't make the character unplayable. It just means you need to scroll out first. Setting aside that comment, being able to set a camera preset distance by character would be a nice option.

There's likely a keybind or macro that can be created with the /camdist # command. You'd have to ask the folks that are familiar with such wizardry. FYI, the max distance using /camdist is 120 and will take you out further than the scroll wheel can manage which is camdist 80, default camdist is 10.

 

A quick search down in 'Guides' section and I was able to come up with this:

/bind v "camdist 25"

 

This puts the camera back far enough to show the full character and a good bit of floor between their feet and the bottom of the screen.
