First Person v Third Person view

[Jibartik]

Actually, funny that you mention that, I think turning will stop you from coming to a stop from running (which has a super short slow down to stopping, not sure if thats a latency thing or if you actually do slow to a stop in this game, or if its just a placebo effect) which is why you see many players do this before casting while running, it is more of a natural reflex, but I think there is a science to it. Not 100% sure though.

If you play in first person exclusively chances are you are real bad at eq. That dude in your group or raid who doesn’t realize something is going down for a few seconds.

Always 3rd, unless in cramped dungeon hallways or swimming.

Always 1st and it probably has something to do with the initial creation of characters having that view. EQ has always been the only game I like to play in 1st. I tried playing WoW in 1st once and that was pretty awful.

So is playing EQ in 1st.... unless you're in a spot where it makes sense. There is seriously are no pluses to playing in 1st besides seeing straight infront of you.

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] it's hard to tell in text, plus I figured that even if you were, someone else out there might genuinely not know about it.

Really surprised to see 1st person is 31% of the vote. Unless you are swimming due to the bugged camera or inside some tunnel like Solusek then 3rd person is far superior for awareness. Although it's kind of fun playing in 1st person the novelty wears off pretty quickly after a returning train or roaming mob pins you down from behind.

I wouldn't mind seeing one of the green recycles be 1st person only just for the meme of it. Also old UI at the same time. Full masochist run.

3rd person self-targeting with self-inspect message spam is the most annoying thing. Any way to 100% prevent self-clicking in 3rd person?
