So apparently we're going to get 3'rd person but no rear view camera?
.............................................................................................Impressive.

Probably has something to do with multiple views at the same time slowing your framerate to 1 on engine they use.

Well, that's one way to sign a death sentence.

Are you a plant, or a real MWO player? Just wondering.

Lol, look. Now people are starting to accuse those that disagree with them of being shills. It's an absolute travesty that PGI has to put up with deranged conspiracy theorists like you.

Who is this 3rd person?

Long live the King

To be fair though most MW's have had 3rd person and most actual simulators I seem to have also have it so in a way it seems funny to not be here.

Is that so?

2) say hello to a new wave of PUG players who have no idea of the concept of 'teamwork'

This is quite possibly the perfect example of what's wrong with MWO's community. Here is someone unironically whining about the prospect of more players picking up the game.

It seems pretty fundamental to me. The developers said "we won't do X, Y, or Z." They have indicated a move toward doing X, Y, and Z, not only after saying they wouldn't, but even after they asked the users, and the users said no. I see no further need to continue trusting them. Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me. My money and I will go elsewhere for a few months, see what the future brings, and if it's awesome, great. If it's not, I'll enjoy whatever my new thing is. This kind of crap might have worked back in the EverQuest days when there were only a couple of true MMO's available to play. These days, the market is saturated, and I have so many other companies vying for my attention as a customer.

TL;DR: "Meh."

how do you figure, the player base who posts in forums is a representative of the whole, it's a random sample.

unless for some reason people who want this to play like mechassault don't like forums for a psychological reason

Maybe those people don't like forums because they don't know how to read.

You can't be serious. A poll from a tiny part of the player base is not the majority. Until you poll everyone, the poll you speak of, means absolutey nothing.

Not So! Those NOT participating did not want, by default, any CHANGE, therefore voted AGAINST 3rd Person! LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!!!

Looking at your sig, all I have to say is...

Buffy never fought in 3rd person

When I see his threads all I read is "This post is hidden because you have chosen to ignore posts by zverofaust. View it anyway?"

Yeah, this. I think their biggest mistake was attracting a largely adult userbase. Good luck salvaging this mess without giving people the boot, PGI.

whats shocking is, that, they chose CE3 because it cant HANDLE a rear view camera. Now, they want to double the code in the game, make things even worse? funny thing is, they even wasted time and MONEY on repair and rearm only to scrap it. says alot about them

By this friday. Red5 Studios will have completely overhauled their BattleFrame progression twice, and their crafting thrice. Does that mean the players of FireFall don't trust them? No, it just means that **** didn't work as planned, and needed to be fixed.

I'm not trying to defend PGI, I don't want 3rd person either (and there's a bunch of other **** I have a bone to pick with them for), but please try and use proper arguments and relevant examples.

So are you saying TV Ratings mean absolutely nothing??

[KylleX]

I have an Idea, did anyone ever stop and think, "Hey, maybe they will add an option to enable 3rd person, and when you do, you ONLY play against other people using the 3rd person option. no way of changing back and forth in-game."?

I know I have, know why? I am a rational human being that THINKS about things instead of getting all uppity about NOTHING.

They just mean that, at least here in the US, most people are stupid.

[Asakara]

Back when I first started in closed beta they had 3rd person in the game. For the first few matches I knew about it I found I had bound my power on/off to the same key (Doh!). About a week later they removed it from the game. I preferred playing in the cockpit anyways.

Oh man, and you thought it took a long time to get into a match when ELO first came online? Hooboy.
