Well said.

An good Fair Poll, PGI can learn from OP how to do Polls. +1


I throwed my Votes in, to show my opinion.

I am surprised this poll is still here...

I understand that you guys want to add 3rd person but it kills the game for me.
Have any of your staff ever played a 3rd person view game???
It kills the whole atmosphere of the game. I pretty much quit playing because of the time lag from "Beta" to Gold.
You guys took one of the best games ever put on a PC and you're ruining it.
Its simple....huge robots with guns and you shoot each other....It's always been from the cockpit.
That's why people like the game.....Giant Robot FPS......3rd person isn't the MW it's some other abortion.
Go reinvent the wheel somewhere else.

Well as long as this get's more votes then the Official Poll that only lasted one day to gather enough data.Then you should be golden here, you have to beat 983 votes.

3PV as-is is not all that bad. What's bad is forcing people to play against others using it, especially after having said it wouldn't happen.

CW being 1PV only is the easy way to fix things, and the same goes for competitive play (if PGI ever adds a "ranked" game mode or whatever).

Allowing 3PV for Instant Action (essentially what we have now) seems fine to me.

I voted, thanks for setting this up Tice!

[CaldeteisX]

So I guess if this gets more than 983 votes (number of 'Yes' votes in Bryan's poll) for any answer than it should be acted on seeing as that's a precedent for PGI taking action on something now, right? .......yeah I wish..

[Conan Librarian]

3pv is a failure (spoken by a fairly new player).

Focus on introducing fun game modes and bug fixes, not pointless features.

I hope this poll gets at least this amount. And the other in my sig is pushing 600 total votes.
Lets spread both of them around

I don't really care about 3PV, it's {Scrap}, whatever. Just don't split queues! Thats just a bad idea.

What they NEED to do is make the drone killable, and once it dies, it stays dead. Then they need to give you the option to have a module, and burn GXP and C-bills to turn it into a viable 3PV, not the {Scrap} it is now, but REAL 3PV where it GIVES you an advantage, give the drone like 1HP, and make it so it takes splash damage, and BAM! I workable version of 3PV, and maybe a 1 to a 1.5 second cool down from drone view to cockpit view if your drone gets sploded.

But even if PGI doesn't change it and leaves it the way it is, it's still so crappy it's not worth using.

JUST DON'T SPLIT QUEUES!!! RaWr!

3pv was implemented to help new players , how does making it destructible help them?

[MrZakalwe]

I continue to be amused by the PGI 'silent majority' mandate.

As if they can some how tell through telepathy what those who haven't spoken think.

This 100 people total who played at the conventions couldn't figure out how to play in the 5 minutes they had I guess

Give up, we lost. The silent majority defeated us without even uttering so much as a word. Just except that your not the target demogrhapic. The course is set, PGI is not ever going to change, its over folks. The September creative director update was a final signal that PGI has won and finally vanquished its greatest enemy, the MW, BT, and competitve players. Now that were out of the way PGI can focus on the silent majority, who by silence aprrove every decsision PGI makes.

Accept your defeat and withdraw from the field save what little face we Mechwarriors have left.

Correction. The fight was lost in 1999. Like I said. You all should have stood up then. You're almost 15 years too late. This is why we have what we have.

[Tice Daurus]

Again, I appreciate people voting, and I'm not trying to silence anyone's opinion, but the goal is to get people to vote and express their viewpoint in a intelligent and classy manner. Keep it up people and post your vote. It does matter.

[Toolan]

the silent Majority of Players who want 3PV is evaluated out of Statistics of Gamerpoll. The average "Gamer" prefers 3PV in Computer Games. But I think the avreage MECHWARRIOR prefers 1PV, regardless of Loud or silent


And PGI: please make a e-mail Poll involving all forum-members. then you have the answer

Correction. You're being disingenuous, as you know full well that the experiences of 3pv in MW2-4 multiplayer is precisely why people are so against it for MWO.

Well, whenever the 350 "vocal Minority" speak, it really speaks volumes. LOL

[Zentraedi57]

I had thought to get a refund on the Phoenix project but decided to wait it out and see where things go. To the issue of the vote I doubt PGI is gonna give it much notice especially since theres not even 400 votes cast on it.
