In EQ, first person for the win! Well ok probably not when kiting, or in certain raid situations when you need to see a large field of view, but for general play EQ had the best first person view. Many MMOGs now are not playable in first person at all due to their perspective field of view.

I use the custom camera views for odd targetting as well as for max vision in some dungeon areas. Comes in really handy sometimes. For normal play, its 1st person though.

Only for incriminating screenshots of rogues hugging nuts and catching aggro - otherwise, 1st person.

I've stared at a lot of boss shins and knee caps.

F9x3 or F9x4 is my perpetual camera angle...except for more precise scenarios such as dungeons, then it's first person.

I constantly scan around me for potential adds when kiting, so...

I have that one and first person hotkeyed to F9 and F10. That view I used almost solely on my necro in Live.

My keyboard setup is almost never, ever default.

Funny thing was - for somethings... I just KNEW where I had them bound to the keyboard in EQLive as I would automatically reach for them without a thought.. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm always reallly really surprised at how many folks play in first person. The only times I ever go into first person are to hit U to interact with an NPC under a floor, or to get a screenshot of something.

I use F9 x 3, rather than x 4, but that's really just because it's an easier habit to always hit f9 3 times to switch from one view to the other, there's really no difference between the two.

Yes, when you log in you have to alt up, but it stays that way until you close your eq client out completely. When I log out i /camp server and leave the game at the login screen.

I really got into the habit while killing mammoths in everfrost on my shaman. You can't look around for roaming greens very well in first person and still med up. I've got environmental audio these days so I could probably get by in first person, but it just feels too restrictive. Gotta keep your head on a swivel!

idk about you guys, but this is the best camera angle.

Agreed! Especially the "Sexy Goddess" angle. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
