First or Third Person View

[joppykid]

Woops I clicked first person by accident when I meant always 3rd. I don't know how people play first person only. I can't stand not being able to see all around me in case of a mob coming. Especially being a monk.

I don't know how you maneuver around a dungeon in third person. I've tried, and just run into walls and get turned around.

Red third always.

Just used to it I guess, I will under certain circumstances switch to 1st person but rarely. Main time i use it in combat is when the target has a small hit box and it is being fear kited.

Is there a way to turn off inspect when you hit the right click button? When I'm in third person, I always hit myself when I try to right click the mob to get a con reading. It opens up my inventory, which is annoying.

Is there a way to turn off that retarded chat message you get when you target something?

Back in the old days when I played EQ (1999-2004) I always played in 1st person view.
Only tried 3rd when wanted to take a screenshot of something.

Playing EQ2 and WoW for a short time, forced me to use 3rd person view due to much higher intensity of danger in surrounding area - constantly roaming mobs, very fast re-spawn rates etc. Plus, its practically impossible to play WoW in 1st person for me - when I do, I feel that my view of my surrounding area got somehow reduced

Going back to EQ1 I have tried hard to play it as I did EQ2 AND WoW, but unfortunately EQ1 3rd view camera is heavily obsolete, and no where as fluid and easy to controled as EQ2 or WoW camera is.

I had no idea there was a 3rd person option. but i first played EQmac and my friend says there is no 3rd person view. i will probably keep playing in 1st. it seems easier.
