I don't think so, I prefer 3rd person view... I don't want to play a Quake or MO Clone... I'd like that any person can choose... If you prefer 1st view, you're wellcome... but I love 3rd. thank you!
Archery should be all first person.
But not everything.
No thanks, I like 3rdQuote:

NO....next!
Go back to MO.
Considering this game is mainly about freedom id say no.

It was a good idea that worked well in Darkfall.
Doesn't mean it's a good idea here. One of the worst things about every game is players that want it to be like their last favorite game.
No first person limits your view to much. But i think it should be a close 3th person view like in my thread were i suggest it
http://www.xsyon.com/forum/showthrea...166-The-Camera
Another no vote.
nah, the best way is to let ppl get the view they want.
Am I the only one to be bothered by the current camera views ? I mean, I feel like I'm looking through binoculars all the time (and it's worst in 1st person). Never got this feeling in other third person games.
So I say fix the damn FOV, and no to forced 1st person.
No, and no for a forced closer view as well. Everyone has the option to scroll the view as close as you like, use it if you want to but don't force others to do so.

That's a NO from me. In fact, I'd like a LARGER viewing angle.
Same.Quote:

Thats a big fat NOOOOOOOOOO from me as well.... I hate first person view because it not only limiting, but makes me very very very sick i'm not kidding,, I get headaches and i fell like i will vomit every time i play first person.
Without forced first person view, expect all pvpers to be using bows because it's nearly impossible to sneak up on anyone half competent when you are melee.
Ok.Quote:

ZOMG!!! THE HORROR!!! HOW WILL THE CRAFTZORZ GET TO ADMIRE THEIR PRETTY COUTURE?!?!
Leave it as it is for simply because of this imo .Quote:

hate 1st person.Quote:

* need body to go translucent when you scroll in...currently you scroll in and just get a back of your head shot *
If there was no third person how could I view people at impossible angles while I'm hiding in a rock, waiting to gank them?
Typically, I am for enforcement of first person view. As an avid shooter fan I avoid the 3rd person view games but I see the need for it here.
I would be for it if the first person view was enforced only during combat mode or outside of homestead/tribe area. Would add to the suspense and realism IMO. Just would have to be balance appropriately.

This. Spent 10 minutes in First Person View right now and I'm sick as hell. The horrid head-bob motion combined with weapons/tools blocking LoS and complete (more than most games) tunnel vision makes it a terrible way to play even though I prefer FPV...Quote:

The reason hiding makes you less visible is because this is a 3rd person game. We can't rely on the player being in 1st person view. I don't plan to ever make Xsyon an exclusively 1st person view game.
pft, sneaking up on someone and getting the first strike isn't a prerequisite to pvp'ing. In fact, as long as I know they're not going to run for their safe zone (which admittedly is a pretty large if) I'd rather them be ready and willing.Quote:

I prefer 3rd person view and I don't understand why people want to force 1st person. There are other games that do this and I really hope Xsyon does not become one of them. Nothing should be forced at least give people a choice ffs.
lol u forgot this part:Quote:

Thanks to Jadzia for pulling up a previous dev post... So, the thread is “closed”. But wanted to point something out that may bring some understanding regarding such a request...
The camera is a HUGE variable in regards to combat, obviously each have there own pros and cons. Forget about all the preconceived ideas about MMO’s, just think about PVP combat in general...
Compare Call of Duty to Gears of War... The largest variable is how the cameras work. It greatly affects player tactics.
im sorry but i love third person, and have always disliked playing in first, keep in mind your not the only person that is going to be playing this game, currently the game has both first and third person to offer players, therefore being attractive to more people.
