Or am I the only one in CoH who uses TP almost exclusively?

I think you're just the only one who feels the need to zoom out 3 times further than we already can in order to use Teleport effectively.

Really? So you never wish you could TP to a roof by zooming out rather than TPing straight up then back down again?

I teleport to the roof with one jump all the time.

I teleport to the edge, then over to the roof while the Hover holds. And, no, I've never wished I could zoom out far enough to lose sight of my character.

Having a wider camdist would be good for super widescreen spanning like the new eyefinity systems with ATi.
It would be nice for hami raids. Sometimes it's still hard to see everything even at camdist 300.

If the building is taller than your Teleport range you will need several hops, but you never need to overshoot it. Simply look up, aim your reticle at the edge of the building right before the roof begins and you'll teleport just below it. Once you do, look down and you'll see the top edge of the roof, which you can teleport to. This can be done even without Hover, as the normal Teleport hover time is more than enough.|

It's still not as easy as teleporting directly on top of the roof, but it's not actually much of a problem, and it's a technique that helps in tight quarters where you want to teleport to a ledge that's near the ceiling of the room.

I can do that, too. But it's a pain to swing the camera down and get your own crotch in your view.|

All I'm saying is that I prefer to be able to zoom out more than currently allowed sometimes.
And why the difference between how far you can zoom out with the scroll wheel and the /camdist command?

So we've had several rounds of "adjustments" to Teleport, can we get /camdist set back to a larger distance now? I'm thinking 600 yds should be good.
I just want to be able to TP to a ledge or rooftop again without staring up my character's crotch to TP straight up, then whipping the camera back around to point downward to TP again to the desired location.
