These are some bizarre talking points. Third person is now carebear?

It's no wonder they can shove all kinds of retarded shit into games. And I'm not even talking about this one. Gamers are fucking idiots.

What event are you referencing? When did this happen and to what game(s)?

Vanguard. They all bullied Silius into removing faction and killed on sight faction and bullied him into giving them flying mount travel hubs and a bunch of other nonsense. Then they all quit.

Vanguard was dead on arrival. People quit because the game sucked from day one.

Next.

Classic EQ had a bad case of difficulty vs reward, more so than bad dundgeon design etc.

Like befallen, one the the “biggest” loots there the bone bladed claymore was crap when compared to a similar camp elsewhere with better and more plentiful rewards.

Etc. OG paw etc

I haven't read all of the retarded drivel on the past couple pages but I will put forward that as much as I love M&M, if the boat ride is actually 4 hours long then you can bet I will never ride it (except when I'm planning on logging off for the day - I heard that you can log out on it and then log back in at your destination later). Max I could stand to ride an in-game boat would be 1 hour, and that's only if I can fish on it or fight pirates.

Third person is definitely lame and misses a lot of what made EQ great.

except everquest literally had 3rd person camera so wtf are you talking about?

Default was 1st person in a tiny window with massive grey UI surrounding it but you could flip through views to full screen and then full screen 3rd person.

you only stayed in first person when you were in some safe ass camp waiting on respawns clearing shit, shooting the shit with people. any time you needed any kind of situational awareness you went into 3rd person view.

starting to think some of you motherfuckers never played everquest you just romanticized some idea of it from old stories off the internet

I played all 3 years(?) of Everquest (from release until WoW release) in 1st person and though it was great (mostly quad kiting druid and rogue for group stuff).

Tried it in this game, Adrullan, and THJ but just couldn't go back to it. It's very hard to return to relying on sound to hear shit sneaking up on you when sight in 3rd person is so much more superior for situational awareness. Moreso when getting a single add usually means XP loss death and long run backs.

First person also feels extremely claustrophobic after playing so long in 3rd person.

The F9 camera switches were not the default for exploring areas because they were kinda shitty. I definitely used them in super open areas to kite though
