1st or 3rd

[Bboboo]

Scrolled out to 3rd unless in a tight space when first person makes more sense.

The day they remove mouse wheel to third person is the day I might come to a cross roads with P99.

Generally, I use 1st person scrolled out to 3rd. I will switch between that and 1st often in tight quarters, or to control levitate. In open/outdoor areas, I'll use the proper 3rd person view mode since it has a wider view and allows me to see further behind my character (so I can see those rogues coming sooner). I use the two distant, fixed view modes to look behind when chased by other players/mobs to judge distance, or to look around corners w/o exposing my position to other players. Occasionally, I'll use the top-down view to look over structures, on top of buildings, and so forth.

I find the follow camera mode useless.

^ exactly... because lite never told me how to manipulate the camera like he does (used to?) on red.

This, but also the title made me think

"Who's on first?"

Chase cam. From the very beginning.

I used to be a 1st person guy until I started playing Rallos Zek. Then it was 3rd person 24/7 to keep an eye open at all times. I became quite good at turning the camera as my character moved (I would use the mode if you pushed F9 three times) so even while medding I could see my surroundings.
That is how I caught some hacker using MQ once on Rallos Zek. There was a safe island in the middle of Paludal Caverns I would go to meditate. I'm sitting there in 3rd person and this tool literally spawns on top of me with his pet. When I called him out on it he actually admitted right away and asked me not to rat him out. Can't remember if I did or not.

I work third shift here in the States...

I play in the first person perspective, but I hope one day to play the original version once more when you actually saw your weapons swinging. I guess when more and more weapons were being introduced into the game, Sony removed the whole weapon view to avoid creating more graphics.

I know in classic there was a command to go into 2nd person view, but very few knew about it. Does anyone know if this exists here?

Actually you have a larger field of view using a 4:3 resolution than you have with a widescreen resolution. Titanium scales the screen to wider aspect ratios by reducing the vertical field of view rather than by the more usual method of increasing the horizontal. This is similar to older movies which create widescreen formats by chopping off the top and bottom.

I've always done 3rd unless I need it to swim better or look through a wall. I hate not knowing whats surrounding me. Can't get that immersed lol
