Not good enough, Garth.

We want "3rd Person -- Never"

You just move 3rd Person to slightly more remote than Hospice length-of-stay in timeline.

Will THAT be enough? You still have the fact that HE said

MechWarrior Online is, and will always be, a game focused on 1st person combat in Mechs. That experience is sacrosanct to the classic Mechwarrior experience.

If it's only in the test grounds, then fine. But in the actual game? No thank you

Soon is a bad word to use there, 40 pages of thread while you were sleeping shows that.



We require a public flogging of 'Twitter Guy' to appease the masses.

Or Cake.

This is even less definitive than all the posts in the past saying we're not getting coolant flush. And yet here we are with coolant flush.

In the latest poll, 1100 voted against 3rd person, 87 voted for. That's not even 10% of those polled want 3rd person.

Just sayin

For every 1 player that voted against 3rd person there was 10x founders that did not vote because they left the game over not having 3rd person tactics content etc. Are players not smart enough to make there own choices now? If they don't want to play 3rd person don't check the box and you will be queued with just first person players DUH if you check 3rd person in the box you will be queues with only 3rd person players DUH its that simple so they would be separated anyway.

Its been said its probably the same guy, not 100% though.

Considering he was over in zvero's thread trolling him too, after zvero has been Defender Prime against us Disappointed Dudes, I have rapidly dwindling faith that any of his personalities are worthy of trust.

MechWarrior Online is being designed to put you the player in the seat of the pilot. It is 100% first person view only. Being the pilot is one of our key design pillars and 3rd person breaks that pillar on multiple levels as seen in many of the other 3rd Person discussions.

That was around about the time he said there wouldn't be any coolant flush either.

About the same time a bunch of idiots gave $5M dollars to some conmen on the interwebs.

[Rattlehead NZ]

To all who remember "Knock Down"

That had a 3rd person view activate when you fell over. While i didn't mind that i always felt sorry for the guys who have built cockpits to feel like they were inside a mech only to have 3rd person view kick in. If it every came back i would love it if they kept it first person the whole time to give this game that "Sim" feeling again.

Oh and COD players won't scramble to play MWO if 3rd person was added, they are too busy already playing COD

You do understand that there is a tactical advantage of 3rd person over 1st person right? Arguments proving that have only played out over the last 44 pages (in this thread alone)

A simple checkbox doesn't address that imbalance, and having a seperate queue for those in 3rd person not being matched against those playing 1st person... well, the way Matchmaking is working now, do you REALLY want to pile another option into that hot mess?

We don't get fooled again..."

[Jonathan Paine]

I think players understand full well the advantage of third person views for themselves. I have my doubts that they understand that everyone else will get that advantage as well. Personally, I enjoy the false sense of being in the cockpit of a giant robot. That is what I want, and that is what I will pay for.

[Damocles69]

Thank you Garth. Thank you. You continue to be the only PGI employee that I moderately respect

[Mechwarrior Buddah]

Seriously though Garth, you should have said "never" not soon

I think maybe more segregation of this type would be good like 3rd or fpv or stock vs stock etc In the MM that way everyone could pick the boxes with the game types they wanted to play and everyone would be happy.
