Pretty sure we were promised 3rd person would be released with the option to not play with ppl using it.

Promise Broken??? Yep.

[Karr285]

Here are the facts.

• Yes we are currently working on a 3rd person option for MWO.
  
• There is no ETA for when 3rd person will be available.
  
• Players will never be forced to use or play against other players using 3rd person. <--------

Command Chair post about it went up.

"After designing, developing, and testing the MWO’s 3PV, we quickly realised that 3PV offered no significant advantage over 1PV. In fact we found each mode had pros and cons that played well with each other. This revelation changed our initial 3PV plans and we postponed Hardcore mode (separate queues for 1PV and 3PV), in favor of rethinking the idea and offering up a different solution that also addressed a few more community wish list items."

I'll take this with a pinch of salt but I'll play around with both views before making my opinion.

Know what Im pretty sure "3PV offered no significant advantage over 1PV" is just BS, $50 says they dont know how to slpit the ques without breaking their game OR they realize how small their player base is and splitting the que would lead to 20min ques.

Im sure MWO do not have enough people playing to split the 1pv and 3pv into two groups and still have 12v12 drops and things like that.

The forums went off like a nuke when 3PV was leaked... and now...

Inb4 egomane locks this thread because we have a feedback thread in the patch forum.

Ah the delicious, delicious schadenfreude. I told you all it was coming, the merging of the queues, but no one listened.

I want my PHX pack money back.... Where can I get a refund?

[Braggart]

I would care, but I have already given up on mwo.

Currently playing the **** out of payday 2 and looking at games on the horizon. I might keep mwo installed for a game or 2 again in the future, but I have my doubts.

So many better, and less expensive games out there.

Aye, picked up Mass Effect 3 from Best Buy for $10. It is currently residing in the hard drive space MWO used to take up.

A far better investment than what this came out to be.

You all realize that is still the beta, yes ? People are supposed to test it and THEN they'll decide if and what to do with 3rd person.

[Applecrow]

Well Surprise, Surprise, Surprise.

At first I was sad at the changes in direction. Now that I see how they are implemented I'm just glad I've spent all my gaming bucks on other things.

[Frustro]

I for one love the fact that they added the "drone of shame" to 3rd person....noone serious about this game would ever put themselves out there flying one.

I'm pretty certain a few months from now even the devs will realise they've wasted their time on this one as noone will be using it other then to check on their cool camo patterns in the beginnings of a fight.

From now and onwards it'll be a newb radar.

That would make too much sense though. We can't possibly test things on a Beta. Honestly, I don't have any ***** left to give about 3pv. If somebody wants to use it, I say let them. I'll stick with first person and still kick the {Scrap} out of them. If it helps get more players into the game, I'm all for it. The whining on the forums is solely trolls looking for something to complain about.

You must be new. Here's some useful info. Nothing that they implemented EVER got pulled from the game, except collisions and just because devs got trolled.
It took them half a year to bring ECM in line, a single item. Now imagine 3PV, a whole feature.

I am just sick and tire of PGI completely ignoring their player base. Time for another 3 month vacation I guess. Enjoy playing with all those 3rd person noobs.
