Is the camera zoom in function new?, I't looks great, I don't think it works in PvE but it would look really cool if it did.

You DON'T WANT zoom while fighting, it'd restrict your vision and (ranged) enemies would sneak attack from off-screen .
I would be down for that. You get a closer, more lively angle of the action and you've got to be alert of what's going on more than you would. People wanting a harder challenge wouldn't have to go farther than a single click. Plus the view angle can make very decent screenshot possibilities.
Obviously, you have the option to either zoom-in or not. Keen and daunting players can afford themselves the show if they can handle the action focus. In PvP, however, it's a different story: you'd have to be crazy insane to pull that off.
You're forgetting about camera rotation. In Haven, zoom only lets you see 'up', but you have no way to see what's behind you at all.
On clockworks, levels make you go up and down, left and right.
The camera zoom in was add since the new UI was implemented. It only works on haven, but it's still pretty cool.
