How many of you are playing the game wrong?

i played a dorf rogue and never remember seeing weapons/hands go across my first person screen when attacking. though a human or tally i might be able to see the sward go across the screen.

Well you need first person if you draw a bow, unless you have chase cam on maybe. Just depends on the class and the situation. Casters don't matter, they don't need to face the target. Using levitate, best in first person to keep altitude. Swimming, first person. Cross country running, 3rd person. Many melee prefer first in groups. caster-cc's third, melee-cc's first/third. Situational. It's EQ, not WoW, EQ is more intelligent, WoW my cat can play, so poll makes little sense without the both option (cant vote for whats not there).

It's situational.

When pulling, you can get a lot more precision in movements, jumps, quick turns and quick movements out of first person zoomed out. You can't hop around the top of Velk's and avoid those holes as effectively in third person.

When quadding, it's a lot easier in third person since you can see everything that's happening and you can pan around constantly to avoid adds, walls, objects, etc.

You also can't strafe as easily in third person. Sometimes strafing is crucial (non-sowed and trying to escape).

The last time I was playing wow, I made a guild called <Plays In First Person> and made a legit effort to do so. It was pretty fun really.

I made a guild on Wow called "Point and click" back when point and click was a toggle able option for movement during vanilla.

There is no "playing the game wrong." Get off your high horse.

Haha, nice. This thread actually kind of made me want to play wow again just to play it exclusively in first person. I wouldn't play a melee of course, cause I'm just a bit goofy not totally fucking insane, but it'd be fun to see how effective I could be while totally blind to what is going on around me compared to everyone playing with their camera zoomed out 100 yards.

Should have a choice for "both". I like to alternate between the two.

I'm a narcissist, so I have to play in 3rd when available.

It's not narcissism to enjoy looking at a character model's sexiness.
