How is this thread still around

[Rejarial Galatan]

very simple: PGI/IGP have not yet decided to FORMALLY declare the death of any notion of adding in 3rd person cameras, and until they do, we will NOT stop voicing our dissent to this fatally flawed idea.

They will be leaving this decision in limbo for a LONG time.

They will either bait those who want it along for a good amount of time in hopes they forget about it OR use the silence as a buffer so the community doesn't bleed out to other games while the game is still in Open Beta, creating a joke of a game.

MechAssault Online OHH YA!!

Out of 4662 votes, 90% say no. If there is ever a poll for them to pay attention to, it is this one.

They don't care. They really don't. If it's on a dry erase board as a means to make some profit, it'll happen.

These guys are drunk when they make most BIG decisions and this is a BIG decision.

[Rejarial Galatan]

This game is NOT in ANY Beta, regardless of the Beta tag on it. How so? Simple, once "Open Beta" "ends" will they be charging a subscription fee? Nope. Thus, this game with all its flaws and utter lack of common sense in places, is FULLY released, and NOT in Beta.

Third person view should ONLY be allowed in Training Mode (once implemented).


Once you give players a choice between having an advantage in combat vs NOT having an advantage in combat — in REAL matches — that's when they will notice why it was a mistake to put 3rd person view into the game.

They done fuct up.

If I have to draw matches from a now limited player base, because of a chosen perspective, I'll take myself and my dollars else where.

The game is fine in first person mode, and it should remain fine in first person mode.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Giving players a choice between the two views will only thin out available players per match even more...needlessly.

If they are TRULY doing this because they want to teach new players how to play with torso twist...then offer 3rd person view in Training Mode ONLY.

I agree. What MWO is lacking now is a proper tutorial to teach newcomers how to play before plunging them into a real battle. Imagine this is your first game,u aint familiar with the controls yet, but the only way to get familiar is to play a live battle?? Its like u know nothing about driving, but u have to drive a car and learn as u drive, while not dying to accidents. Not a pretty good experience for newcomers I bet. Once u have the training tutorial in place, u eliminate the need for 3rd person. Have your 3rd person view in the tutorial to illustrate the torso twist + movement direction. Or as a last resort if you really want to implement 3rd person for newcomers, have it available to trial mechs only.

agreed with you up until THIS sentence. Then this segue's into people ONLY playing trial mech's for the advantage of the third person. Nope, not good. Only thing they can do, is not have it at all.

I am 100% sure when the 3rd Person View are a real Feature in MWO Battles. 80-90% of real MechJockeys he want a Simulation BattleTech Game and want more Small or Big Simulation Features in Future. He leave this MWO Project. Thats all... PGI don't do this pls.

Make a Small Map with a MechWarrior Academy School and a Simulator Box with 3rd for New MechJockeys without Practice and Infos about the BattleTech Universe.

Agreed. This will be very disappointing if it makes it to the maingame, and could really be detrimental to the competitive future of the game. I hope I am wrong.

Yeah 3rd person. Cause now theres no way to back up the statistic that 90% of the game doesnt want it and ppl are just gonna think theyre bullshitting those numbers like they do with all other statistics
