I never said it wouldent be an option DG, you could play in 3rd person as much as you like but when in combat the 1st person player is at a distinct disadvantage to the 3rd person player, how do we fix this ....
you make all COMBAT (not all the game) 1st person by scripting a change in circumstance via the combat mode. you would return to 3rd person after combat DG.
How this would be implimented is the discussion and would take fine balance and extensive testing but since the standalone is already doing that, they could impliment a few changes now and let it be an ADDITIONAL server option so that its not a simple turn off 3rd person and lose all your player base.
I'm not against 3rd person, i like 3rd person while running around, i don't like 3rd person in combat and it's unrealistic and unfair to the 1st person players, unfairness araises change for the better DG.
I'm not against you DG, i don't want to argue with you, i'd like further options and interesting gameplay that everyone can enjoy, therefore i make suggestions on what could be done to increase the playability and enjoyment.
i don't just blanket out any opinions, you would make a poor developer DG, and i'm not trying to be nasty, you just gotta think about everyone and not just yourself. Having the option to change from 1st to 3rd person is great, but to make a more interesting game experiance and fair game experiance, you must develop and impliment new ideas that may or may not work. That's pretty much how all games are made and what makes them different.
