There is a bug in third person view. If someone bumps into you, or you walk backwards into a wall, you can glitch into first person view.

Third person view is an ill concieved glitch by itself lol. They can only get people to use this widely unwanted "feature" by bribing them with premium time in an event.

This is a great first step PGI, to make matches more interesting. What you need to do next though, is integrate these conditions into the actual match win/lose conditions. Once we get past Team Death Match as the win conditions, then we have a game.

You could have win/win lose/lose draw/draw all depending on conditions.


One I was thinking of is a simple escort mission. Team A has to get player A5 from Nav Beta to Nav Zeta. Team B has to prevent this, without killing player A5 or else everyone loses. Call it a los tech retrieval.

Something else could be purposely mis-matched unit numbers. 12 v 8. Team B is ambushing team A. Team B must kill X number of 'mechs and still exit 3 'mechs off the southern edge or they lose. Team A wins a decisive victory if they destroy X Team B 'mechs without losing Y 'mechs. Degrees of victory and loss would be good in this situation.

This is a novel idea. This may even encourage team play by default for such an event. Nice idea.

Glad to see Faction play included on some of these challenges!

Why do we even have 3rd person? It is painful.

Emphatically agree. Thankfully they removed this being on by default. Talk about crippling new players. They finally got wise and fixed it. Wish they would do the same with arm lock and throttle decay but they aren't nearly as bad as 3pv.

Ummm.. some matches are not registering..

[Seddrik]

This event.... has ruined the game play.


It is turning out to be everyone one narcing, 50 UAVs, 5 LRMs...


And playing third person?


And the 3rd person 1 kill win didn't even register.


I'm a compulsive completionist... but this one is already irking me.

Well yeah, the 3rd person part...it had been already 3 or 4 matches with all the requirements passed, but i still have 0 on the counter because if i turn the camera and there is mech or building or something else behind me and it switches me to the 1st person view for mere seconds...and looks like that's the cause...

DID YOU enable "start in 3rd person view" in your game settings prior to going to seek a match ? I may skip that one anyway. There's no "achieve every goal" reward to chase. i HAVE YEARS of premium time. 3 more days is not something i will notice and miss the absence of.

Third Person view is totally bugged, unable to aim correctly, even with missles its unimpossible because it switches automatically to first person view when you stand in Front of a wall or another mech.
You have no Minimap, cant move with the team an last but not least - i made one kill, survived, we won the match, Third person view was active during the match but it didnt count.

(start in third person view was active)

So this is really ********,
sorry

I think i will not play MWO during this event. It transforms the game into a bunch of Narc Syphilis combined with LRM Cancer.

Whoever got the idea with this narc and tag score thing, congrats, it almost matches the frustrating disappointment when ED got live on PTS.

Yep... I should already have one... and judging by the matches I have played, around 11 it has done the same to me. If I walk backing up into a building, my cockpit comes back up. Yes, I followed the directions and enabled it in the settings menu. All I know is I better get credit for my matches that I play in this jacked up view mode. It really sucks, and it is the worst! Still no credit for my match I killed one, lived, and we won.

Update... I now have 2 wins and kills and survives under my belt, still not showing. In this last match I made sure I didn't face hug any mechs and didn't back up into the walls. We was on Canyon.

Whoever came up with the idea for a 3rd person POV event should be fired along with whoever approved it.
It's a spit in the face of all the Founders (if any are still around anyway) who were promised that the 3rd person POV BS from MW4 wouldn't be implemented in the first place.

Someone needs to take a look at this. It's definitely not counting all cases. I've had three already and only one counted.

Ha ha... that would be Russ that wanted, approved it, and gave it to us...NO?


Yeah.... somebody tweet Russ so he gets the memo Yo! Your feature you wanted isn't working or counting in this event!

This is one of two matches that have not shown up as 1 on the event page.....
488115694564073471 286 1 0 402 1 1 0 2016-09-03 00:13:30

It was a win, I got the kill, and survived. This is extremely hard to do in 3rd person, and will really suck if when we pull it off, it doesn't count.

Well I just got my third match in 3rd that I met the terms..... lets hope this gets taken care of, as of now its only showing one.

[ImperialKnight]

is the purpose of the 3PV challenge to show how bad 3PV is? if so, it's doing great

[Wing 0]

"She flipped the van" LMAO. Must have been paul's quote. This event will do nicely.

[GI Journalist]

Parody might not be the best form of promotion. I am more likely to go binge watch the show than play.

[Deanihilator]

I finished 3PV challenge and It's still showing zero.

[Seddrik]

The third person thing is glitching. I have completed it several times and it still doesn't register.

It may be that if u back by a wall... and your thingy zooms in... then it cancels ur 3rd person win.

[Initium Thoth]

2/3 in 3rd person view, but not according to the log!
It says 0/3.
Not sure about giving into my OCD demons on this challenge.

[045]

I hate 3rd person view so much. I have never wanted to accomplish a challenge more, but I hate PGI for doing this to me.
