3rd Person perspective is NOT clasic

fallingstar · #1 07-30-2020, 09:09 PM

The ability to use your mouse wheel to zoom into 3rd person wasn't added till PoP era.

The only 3rd person option you had was one of the views in the F9 cameras and it was laaaame.

This is a game-breaking thing because you can target things you can'y in first person by looking around corners that you shouldn't be able to.

You can look around corners with TAB in classic. Mouse-wheel isnt classic, but it provides no advantage to any non pvp everquest gameplay.

But there are not enough mobs in Oasis I believe this is true! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Signed, my level 15 character.

Bud, there's some things they can't change about the titanium client.

But who says this is one of them? the frequency in which I see people on p99 playing outside of first person is certainly non-classic in any event. People almost exclusively only changed views to target shit or see if (or how close) something is following them from behind or perhaps some kind of screenshot they wanted to include themselves in. Having it "wheelable" probably exacerbates the problem by making it too easy to switch around,

The only people who used it with any frequency in standard gameplay tended to be lull/FD classes.

I set my tab to F back in 99 and would smack that baby every 10 seconds. I didn't spend all that time collecting loot to look at other people!

I don't even remember what the hell tab did originally. But I don't recall being able to change the view at all outside of cycling the cameras, which would mean in order to get the camera angle you wanted you'd have to click through a bunch of others. You couldn't flip back and forth between two either, you'd have to entirely cycle through them all to witch between 2 preferred views.

Tab cycled through the same camera angles it does on p99 sans a couple of them (that parascope one i think is unclassic) and it's extremely easy to use, and helpful.

Honestly not using even on p99 to me would be like finding out someone turns with their keyboard. I still smash that f key every 10 seconds.

speaking of periscope cam, you want to talk game breaking, periscope cam really is one of those things I think "man I couldn't live without this if I was sent back to 99" while Im running through practically every outdoor zone looking for things.

I should say, I think there is 100% zero advantage you get from the mousewheel outside of pvp combat, I will die on that mountain. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] So it's not breaking anything. But it is not classic.

Thank god too, no time to fix that when we have the top end guilds to put lists into play for so they have an enjoyable unclassic non competitive raiding system to compete with [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Its also a totally different experience playing in a non 1st person view. The 1sp person view was what made you feel like you where your characters...

Ya, it's probably why i can't stand using the "WoW camera angle" which is what it feels like. It's particularly cringeworthy watching videos of people exclusively playing with that camera angle.
