The current 91% of the current player base is 5% of what the player base COULD BE if they implemented features to attract a larger player base.

Going against 91% of your current (paying) customers trying to attract an hypothetical larger audience, what could possibly go wrong?

I love how someone who signed up today is trying to tell everyone who has been playing this game since closed beta, the majority of which are founders who spent up to 120 dollars founding this game what the game should be like. Have you even played the game yet? You signed up like 2 hours ago! Go play the game for a few days and then come back and tell me that you need 3rd person added in, then I might take you seriously. You are the sort of come and go player that PGI should not be listening to!

I have a feeling it's to appease complaints about not being able to see your skins, as sad as that is, and, therefore, it's a way to encourage spending money, either CB or MC, on aesthetics.

After playing years of playing TF2, which is full of in game items you never see unless you taunt or otherwise, I feel that this is going to be a horrible implementation, both economically and from a gameplay standpoint. Tf2 has been wildly successful and proves you dont need to have 3rd person to encourage further spending on items which cannot be seen in game.

Please do not put 3rd person into this game. The simulation feeling is what makes this game.

@Black Alexidor: It is this exact type of comment that my statements were directed to. Stop playing the 'wounded gamer' by portraying yourself as a victim of slander. If you don't like the perspective, don't use it, and you'll have all the 'simulation feel' you can handle.

Have the devs said they were going to actually put it in?

They are more likely someone who has already disagreed with the vast majority of people...was thoroughly put in their place, but still wanted to cry about it. SO they made another account, to pretend to be a new person.

This, somehow, manages to make what would have been a very ignorant, light-weight opinion even more valueless...and is probably the only way to achieve that.

Actually, I've been playing since day one of open beta, and I have already unlocked all my elite skills across the 3 variants of my mechs. So, it's safe to say I've put in quite a few hours.

But thanks for offering a shining example of what's wrong with this community: only those who have gotten into closed beta are entitled to a voice. Awesome attitude!

Trust me, I HATED all Mechwarrior multiplayer until MWO, pretty much because I wanted to play 1PV and be in a "sim" and you simply could not compete against those using 3PV.

I'm truly sorry to hear that Kraven. You should have played in the forced 1pv leagues at least. We lost too many players from attrition - heck, if mw4 still had this many people wanting to play it, it'd still be kicking right now.

If you had you would know that your forum account is tied to your game profile. Stop lying! You either created a new account to ***** or you haven't played the game. I'm not saying you had to be in closed beta to have a voice. I'm saying you had to have played the game for more the 10 minutes to have a voice! GTF0!

Thanks for proving my hypothesis right almost immediately after I post it.

As far as I know they havn't commented since the podcast.

For the CNOX's out there:

If you want to play Checkers, you do not sit down to a Chess match and demand the rules be changed.
You go find the Checkers players and leave the Chess players alone.

I think they already have a game with and out of cockpit view..oh yeah mechwarrior tactics. There really is no reason for 3rd person view in this game for anyone. It will jut make it easier for someone to have a visual advantage over the cockpit view and will take away from the game for others.

How is that? It's seperate...does the mere fact that you know some group of players is out there enjoying a game of MWO in 3pv take away from your game enjoyment somehow?

[Tonberry]

I'm glad that I don't need to add anything to this. The point has been made!

[Cnox]

This is the first time I posted, I read up on things and get all perspectives before I pitch in. But, if there was any other way to prove to you about the mechs i have in my bay and the number of games i've played, I'd show it to you, but if you want to use a forum date as the indication of how long I've been playing, then ... wait for it...another shining example of what's wrong with this community.

I'm actually not DEMANDING anything. With or without 3pv, I'll play the game (as I have been). It's the opposition that is making the demands : "IF you do this, it will RUIN the game", "IF you do this, I'll never play it", etc etc. Please go back and point out where I made any demands, please? until then, please think before you post.

[SmithMPBT]

In World of Tanks 3rd person view makes the match break down to 2 tanks around the corner from each other. Each watching in 3rd person view to see when the other guy starts moving forward. You get slowed gameplay and mexican standoffs.

Right now we have a fast paced mech combat simulator. Please don't turn it into World of Mechs.

One thing, it has been explained a 100 times over, how we will be forced to use it, and to deal with it to stay competitive. You obviously can't be bothered to invest time to read even through a couple of pages, so don't worry about it... That there also shows us what your attention span is like.

PGI how long do you think this guy will stay interested in your game? 3PV or not, with all the bugs that you have? lol

Way to call somebody out, props, likes given

[Cnox]

When I get home tonight, I'll try to find a way to screenshot my mechs and post them somewhere, when I do, I expect an apology...
