To be honest the more I read here, thinking about it the more I realise the issue seems to be one of keeping people new to the game happy. I don't think this will do it.

Hows about you do a tutorial mode, that goes over all the basics, at the end of which you get lets say 1.5 million c-bills, and enough MC for one free paint job (once you roll that out).

Bait the hook to catch the fish? Just an idea.

Third person view will be the single greatest thing that PGI has done.... To help Planetside 2 gain numbers.

WTF PGI? You were doing so good to. Why would you go and implement something so foolish as over the shoulder combat? Are you just trying to accommodate to everyone so as to rake in as much cash as possible? Your going to end up souring your fan base and turning this into another MMO **** like STO.

[Zylo]

So what's next?

Are new players going to complain that they can't hit due to the targeting differences between the arm and torso mounted weapons?

Seriously, at some point PGI needs to realize that these players whining about no 3rd person are going to continue to whine until this game is so easy that everyone leaves.

Then they will complain that they have no one to play against.

Just say NO.

[b1llyb0nes]

No. No. No no no no NO. Don't you ******* do it. I play this game because it's a battlemech sim. If i wanted 3PS mech fighting, i'd go get Hawken.

I'm sorry! I guess I've taken one too many gauss shots to the cockpit. lol

[nemesis271989]

This game is 1st person mech simulator as I thought it was supposed to be. I consider 3rd person view as cheating.
I will quit once it will be added.

Could anybody be so kind to explain this **** storm?

If and only if there is a real advantage in using 3rd Person view... well if you need that advantages even 3rd person view wont do you any good. Stop whining

However it seems that nobody is able to read any post...about 20 pages in less then 2 hours...you have problems haven't you

FFS....

3rd Person & MWO - Link to this when needed

[zrap]

Oh god please dont... I'm all for a better new player experience, but this is NOT the way.

a separate noob queue for the first 10-20 wins / matches, proper matchmaking, and to help control a mech a ******* tutorial Mission.

Wouldn't this fit into 'special game settings' for new players?

No company gives a job to someone who just acts as an 'ideas' guy.

But it's important we appeal to the Skyrim audience. i want to know why they made the cockpit if this was on the schedule all along.

No one's gonna use first person if you can see around corners, and over hills.

Ugh. This.

Also, I hate using a 3rd person view, for entirely aesthetic reasons. Since mixed will be a ******* joke, in which anyone in 1PV just gimps themselves, that'll confine me to a smaller segment to even enjoy playing the game at all.

[Imagine Dragons]

Hmm, not good.

3rd person needs to stay out of the general and meta game.

Not even in spectator mode, because you just have your dead teamates acting as rear view mirrors... I don't want to have my reward for using tactics and positioning to get behind my enemy spoiled because the "ghost" of a dead enemy told the living enemy that I am behind him...

If its a difficulty for new players... why not just enable it for new players? As in a Trial-Mech-Only-Que...

Don't alter a major gameplay aspect for the intermediate and advanced players for the sake of new players when it can be cordoned off temporary...

Give us fun game modes. Capture the flag, respawn ffa, domination. (keep them out of community warfare)

People arent turned off by the walking controls, they're turned off by the fact that theres only one game mode.

You'd be surprised. They're not as common now but there were threads from people in an uproar over not having 3rd person since they couldn't understand movement in any other way. There are also others who get severe motion sickness from anything in first person especially with the bobbing and shaking in this game.

And that is why, because of of all those lovely individuals, MWO should also have:

- MECH WINGS! Added to the upcoming store, as cosmetic, and later to become flying mounts!

- CLOTHES! Yes folks, how about dressing your favourite Atlas in a nice western outfit with a cowboy hat!

- CRAFTING! Omg! i cannot wait to become the #1 MechMerchant lvl 400! WTS: Golden Gauss Riffle of Darkness!

- EMOTES! Dance you mechs dance! Oppa Mechnam Style!....Nuff Said.

P.S.
( I just sent a mail to the Hello Kitty Online devs. I want my kitty head working with my torso!!)

Thank you.

That's what they're proposing though.

Uhhhg! I just had a mental image of an atlas doing a pelvic thrust... Thanks for that....

[Rokuzachi]

Not sure why it matters, nor do I care. If people want to play in 3rd person, go for it. Bads will still be bads regardless of their PoV.

Other people's immersion is of no concern to me, and personally... immersion in a game is a total joke to me. I will always know I'm sitting in a chair, at my desk, playing a game on a monitor against other people doing the same. Maybe when I was 10 and playing with toy guns I could have bought into it, but now? It's just silly.
