With 3rd Person view this game will become more arcade and more fail.

Will 3rd person come with 20th patch?

Wouldn't surprise me if it did and if it was an actual pilot module that you have to use GXP on, in practice destroying their excuse of enhancing the new player experience by putting it behind a pay/grindwall. Oh lawd the irony!

20,000 GXP and 5 million c-bills for 3rd person raff raff

Worst idea ever!
Also, it really sucks to see Piranha not giving a **** about promises. I wonder when we get gold ammo.

[GetToTheChoppa84]

for spectator mode i'd say yes. but not for actual gameplay!

[Kurayami]

id say this one should be locked long time ago - i mean just look at the numbers

this game is unlikely to have gold ammo, but it will have gold mechs.

edit: err... actually it already does.

Rest assured t.u.r.d person will come. MWO is inspired by WOT and it is slowly evolving into WOM.

I wouldn't mind a 3rd person death cam, but nothing in-game.

Wait until clan tech roll's around. The same people saying "OMG The dev's already said no way in hell would clan tech be MC only!" are the same people in this thread quoting what Paul said about 3rd person never being implemented. Oh the irony.

gold is fairly brittle for use as armor. Now a gold alloy of some type quite possibly. If it's in and locked behind you it better be locked to the legs direction and not the Torsos. But I do recall PGI saying they would never put 3rd person in.

It's too bad IGP never said that.

This is SIMILATOR. No 3P please. Thanks.

Third Person

Holy kerfuffle Batman…

Third Person is being reviewed internally as an optional gameplay mode. No final decisions or designs have been made yet, however preliminary thoughts include:

• Players would be able to choose 1st or 3rd person or toggle between both.
  
• Players would be able to select how they are matched against other players: Only 1st person, Only 3rd person, or Mixed. This will preserve the integrity of matches and allow players maximum control over their gaming experience.
  
• The concern with a matchmaking solution is player base fragmentation, part of the reason why 3rd person isn’t being rushed to production.
  
• 3rd person would not change how LOS or targeting work.
  
• Players may gain a visual tactical advantage, depending on how much freedom in camera movement is given. This is subject to designing a camera system that feels good.
  
• The game isn’t easier per se in 3rd person, so we do not feel changing the meta rewards is necessary.
  
• For new users, 3rd person could be default or there will be a prompt for new players to select their view point.
  
• New players will benefit from seeing how torso twist and throttle work from the outside. This reduces new user friction and gets them into the game faster, with less frustration.
  
• This feature is designed to maximize player choice, by letting people select which mode they prefer.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yay for wasting time on something we don't want AND fail to address things that are really breaking the game.

Bryan just doesn't get it...

[Sean von Steinike]

Stupidity, absolute stupid waste of resources.

[Windies]

Same thing I said in the other thread, I applaud them trying to implement in a way that doesn't force people to use it. However I think it's completely unneeded and a complete waste of developmental resources.

This isn't about the new player experience anymore, this is simply PGI wanting to make more money at any cost. The irony is it will probably never work.

[Batlin]

I really do wish that PGI would fix bugs, rather than adding features that >90% of people do not want

I cant see anything positive (long term) out of adding 3rd person. It may just make some newbs happy to begin with, whilst ******* the rest of us off big time.
3rd person camera by default.....you have got to be kidding !!

My guess is because they only made XBOX games before, if they fail at this pc project they will port this directly to XBOX.
No need for DX11, No need for matchmaker, big need for 3rd view, back to what they do best, and fully funded by from a bunch of dumb BT MW mugs who threw cash on for their pc dream to happen.

Some people lap up everything they are fed from PGI IGP and defend everything viciously, they have every right to. But I don't think this will work either. A year later, with this, not at this rate.

absolutely no.
even when i dont want to use it, it would ruin my Mechwarrior feeling

Agreed.

It would quite literally change everything about the game-to-be. Most UN-welcome.
