Terrible decision. Split the community...

[Steadfast]

3rd Person view would be a reason to try to get a refund for me. No. Don't want a 3rd Person view. Bad idea, Don'Ät know why you even think about this.

[Johnny9s]

Nope. Put a torso lock in for people who can't figure it out.

[Daetrin Voltari]

The short form is I have no interest in playing a MechWarrior game that includes 3^rd person, and would/will not pay money to support it.

A 3^rd person view is instantly destructive to game immersion, and moves MWO from a simulator to an action shooter. In addition, the expanded field of view gives a distinct, and perhaps insurmountable, advantage over anyone in 1^st person, rendering 1^st person play obsolete.

I hope that the preceding 48 pages of negative comments demonstrate to Russ and the other developers that the inclusion of a 3^rd person mode is unacceptable to a community which has supported PGI financially to an unprecedented level.

As a note for those who are concerned with not being able to see their shiny new mech, I believe the appropriate solution to that is a properly implemented mechlab allowing us to view, rotate, and save mechs and designs without having to purchase every option, and a training ground system to allow field testing of designs without dropping them into competitive play.

I don't see much wrong with a third person view during spectation or replays. Being able to see the match AFTERWARDS and being able to have a 360 degree camera during the recording only would be awesome. You can further analyze what happened and study it.

The 'mech's are downright beautiful in this game and you should be able to see your mech in action, just NOT DURING the
action.

If this hubub is all about the newbies then why not spend the dollars to have a practice area like the old Tie Fighter training scenario. Shooting blocks and holographic targets. Have someone yell at how terrible you are over the comms when you miss. The game needs a training or practice map not live-action third person views.

Hope that has been helpful. Still love this game!

I was told today while at work that 3rd person was going to be added into mechwarrior online, and I said to myself "no way". Why in gods name would they do something so blasphimous. This is a terrible day for mechwarrior. I say NO! to this.

Piloting mechs since mechwarrior (on 5 1/4 floppy)

The fact that the first reply has over 115 people who agree with it and the OP has only maybe 4 is telling enough.

[Gleby4]

I make posts in official part of forum not really often, but this information forced me to do this. I think the 3rd person view will kill the way of simulator and spirit of the game as it is (and as it was). I will not spread my thoughts why I'm thinking so, lots of people said right things before me.
NO 3rd person view in this game!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rejarial Galatan]

learn to drive the bloody mech. OR here is an idea, take a quick look at your cockpit. Go ahead, I will wait for you to load a match, then free look around your cockpit. <sits waiting> Okay, back? GREAT! What did you see? Some displays that are blacked out, with a message like: no data feed" or something like that? Okay, here is a simple idea to help those who cannot grasp the concept of torso twisting and leg movement. put in a camera that faces down between your legs, looking just in front of your mech like 3-4 feet ahead, where you STILL see your legs go by. Guess what? You know have a camera that SHOWS direction of travel and now, make that image movement match your main window. OR as Jonny9s said: LOCK THE TORSO options.

lol


already in place: C on defaults.

on topic: 1537 AGAINST
76 FOR.

PGI: We cannot be any more clear, do not do this please.

Hate to be a nitpicker but C centres torso on legs, not legs on torso.
Mechwarrior 2 had both options from memory, and centering legs on torso I think is a great option.

That being said, still no for 3rd person, unless used in a limited way.

[Alex Gorsky]

no!
if it occurs
bb MWO we will miss уоu

[Rejarial Galatan]

look, you want a 3rd person view? Okay, here is how to do it to NOT break the game and make a huge portion of us leave: Make it available during REPLAY footage ONLY. That way it does not break the fight.

[Smokewolf]

I vote no.
please no.

thank you.

[TheUnderking]

This is an awful idea. You would need to play third person to compete with everyone else who does. OR split the player base.
I also remember there distinctly being a promise of no third person perspective.

3rd person for replays/observing is fine though.

[AceTimberwolf]

Yup no Legs to Torso option yet. When I first started playing i was confused to such an oversight yet we still don't have one

[Maleki]

Alright tards. Stand up. Twist your torso left then right. See how that works? See! If you don't, STOP BREEDING!

[Kanaric]

3rd person? lmao what is this some ****** console game now?

If they are going to add a 3rd person cheat mode and not work on things that actually need attention then i'm going to not be very happy. It seems these devs just CAVE to whiners, and not the ones who have legitimate complaints like people not wanting 3rd person mode. Like "oh my jenner is tripping because i am a ****** pilot and can't sit behind an atlas with him walking on me REMOVE TRIPPING" ****. I think if they cave to the shitties on this issue I may just quit the game.

[BatWing]

NO! Nonsense.

You promised Mechwarrioir in a way a Veteran player would love, don t eat your word away.

I trust you, I promoted your job with everyone I know, I bought a Founder pack to show my support....

Put 3d view in.. and I m simply out. Plain and simple. I will refuse to play another abomination. Are you gonna make this slowly a crap like Mechassault?

Tell me know so I can save a lot of my time.
