What do I have to do to unlock it?

I thought the promise was for seperate queues between 3PV and non

You need to pay more MC to unlock it.

Would kill this game in a matter of seconds and cause a lot of toxicity between players. Right now its fine as is, you can see who is using 3P by that annoying drone following them and know to SHOOT them first if you really hate 3PV.

Personally IDC about it, I used it for 5 seconds to see how cool my mech is, before going back to 1P to kill mechs.

Thats not the point SirLansalot... The point is we were misled... Again.

My guess would be that the hardcore mode will be unlocked around the same time loyalty points go live.

Some people say you will see a complete drop of The 1st person view in a month or two.

There 3PV mode has distinct advantages for certain mechs:
Lights and Mediums are out of this world now as them have perfect vision of hteir surroundings and basically can outmaneuver anyone using 1PV.
Not to mention the aimbot that they have gotten. I tried one of my mechs with pulse lasers in 3PV and the game basically aims for you as long as you hold your crosshair in the general direction of an enemy.

I actually said that way back when they said that the 2 modes would be separate (I really wish I could find the thread, I think someone owes me Internets for being right). I called that 1> If 3PV was "Tested" it would be in the game no matter what from that point on. 2> If we had 2 ques, one of them would have long wait times or "Failed to find Match" (Think 12 man's), followed by both modes being mashed together.

Even I didn't expect them to go right into the Masher Together 3PV/1PV cluster we have now however.

You know that saying "fool me once" and so on? Well this is all on you, those of us with functioning brains saw this coming long before they put 3rd person in the game.

They will probably announce that they have been gathering data and that that data shows no real difference between the win/loss ratios of people in first and third person or that people in 3rd person lose more often. Therefore there is no reason to actually separate the ques.

Never mind that the stated reason for 3rd person was to get more people to play MWO and to improve the new player experience and that if all of this is true the people playing in 3rd person should be losing a hell of a lot more than the people in first person.

Welcome to PGI's vision of Battle tech, **** on the neck-beards and long term fans of the franchise to open a revolving door for the COD crowd.

Yay, kindergarden-mode for everyone.

[Lailoken]

I really hope this game doesn't try to cater to the masses as you guys suggest. It's not right for this game/series. I'd stop playing if they enforced 3rd person view. Despite being a founder and buying a phoenix package.

We gave them all our money, now we can go home and make way for a new bunch of players?

Is that really happening?
