IIRC, players were told that snipers "would not be left hanging" when the vision mode changed. Thermal had been changed to remove it as a tool for long-range zoom sniping. I seem to remember them implying they were going to be working on advanced zoom in those patch notes. Not sure, tho.

If PiP is the cause of the terrible performance of advanced zoom, just get rid of the PiP. Simply enable a higher-power zoom that also has the outer area of the FoV blacked out as if players were looking through a scope. Seems like that would be a pretty easy thing to implement.

Not sure the game really needs a high-power zoom though, given that Gauss/PPC builds still dominate sniping.

if picture in picture is too hard for you THEN JUST MAKE IT A 6x ZOOM

It is a shame that they haven't removed this module from the game as it serves no purpose and leaves a bad taste in the mouths of any player who unsuspectingly buys it. GXP is hard to come by for people who aren't prolific players or paying money to convert. All this module does now is punish casual or new players who haven't been around long enough to know it is horribly broken and there is no fix in sight.

Seriously simply remove the module and refund the GXP until a better solution can be found.

Give me 6x zoom or give me my GXP back.

Also - as bad as this is - I almost forgot that the game still is beta and beta is beta, after all. So I'll save my rightious anger for the final version.

I look forward to your fury in two weeks, as I guarantee you that it will not be fixed by then. I am 100% sure of this.

good news, looks like it was tweaked in the patch released today! Hopfully it delivers.

PS. this too was my first module purchase

You should really look at today's patch notes:

Advanced Zoom Module's implementation slightly changed giving it increased picture fidelity. Instead of returning to the default FoV before overlaying the PIP, it now zooms in closer and then applies the PIP zoom.

Sounds like Adv Zoom is worth retesting once the patch hits.
