SirStriped 19 Posted March 4, 2014 Sorry if this causes an arguement but I was wondering why people think playing one means they are better then the poeple playing the other? Now I mainly play Third person and recently started playing first. After starting to play in first I got a new (bigger and wider) monitor. It allows me to see a lot more in First person. However I noticed something. 3rd person helps people with smaller monitors still see more then some people with bigger monitors. Raising your field of view can cause motion sickness while gaming so might not be a option for some. I understand that third pesron allows you to be cheap and see what wouldnt be realistic, however this game isn't 100% realistic even if you wanted it to be it can't be. The eingine is to clunky. Granted they have fixed a BUNCH from the Arma 2 mod and it runs more fluid and smooth. However being able to cary 2 guns on you back instead of 1 gun and a melee or have the option of both would be realistic. Bleeding would stop after a bit if you got hit. However in DayZ from what I have experience you bleed until dead or bandaged. Which is not realistic. The movement system is clunky but easily bearable. Can't kill critters and birds (assuming for now). Can't open things to look for loot. You can sew your clothing back to worn wihout using any cloth or rags to patch it up. Blood testing I don't think works that way in real life (I could be wrong). You would be able to take your own blood in real life. There is a lot that isn't realistic however it is easily tolerated because it is just part of DayZ and we know it is a game. However when combat is talked about then you guys want it 100% realistic from what I have heard when it will never truely be. Teamspeak and raidcall kind of foil those plans. 3rd person also allows for the lone wolf to survive more easily. In first person if you see someone then they have the possibility of seeing you depending on where they are looking. Now I will say I prefer first person more then third however I see the benefits of both and dont understand the hate. Just hating to hate? Or is there something I'm not seeing.

Nesuma (DayZ) 108 Posted March 4, 2014 People always judge. They want to feel better so they insult the guy killing others "exploiting" his 3rd person view...There are servers for 1rd only!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-MadTommy 367 Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Now I will say I prefer first person more then third however I see the benefits of both and dont understand the hate. Just hating to hate? Or is there something I'm not seeing. As long as there are normal & hardcore options everyone should be happy. Some just like to moan, bitch and stir up emotions on the interwebz Edited March 4, 2014 by MadTommy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weparo 613 Posted March 4, 2014 there is a thousand threads like this and the bottom line is ; #1 people with small monitors can just edit their FoV, #2 I AM friggin 1337 because 1. Person IS better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted March 4, 2014 there is a thousand threads like this and the bottom line is ; #1 people with small monitors can just edit their FoV, Doesn't matter on 16:9 or 16:10 if you use the native resolution. Whoever still has a 4:3 should go back to 1980 #2 I AM friggin 1337 because 1. Person IS better. Yep 1P users have more balls. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weedmasta 784 Posted March 4, 2014 So despite there being numerous threads about this you thought you'd add to the pile with a terrible wall of text. Well congratufuckinglations. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weparo 613 Posted March 4, 2014 @enforcer I meant that you go into your config and change 'FoVtop' and 'FoVleft'. It's amazing :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted March 4, 2014 @enforcer I meant that you go into your config and change 'FoVtop' and 'FoVleft'. It's amazing :D Yeah i know i have like a 30:9 monitor...jk but it does give you a bit more fov ( side mirrors and a bit more show up when inside a car although they are of no use instead of just looking through the front window ) What most wider fov users don't know/complain about is that because the camera is moved backwards into your head they have up to a couple of meters less view distance through this tweak.

Grimey Rick 3417 Posted March 4, 2014 This is a non-issue as there are servers for both. However, anyone who thinks 3PP isn't cheating has lost touch with reality. Anything that lets you see around corners without putting yourself at risk isn't legitimate. /thread 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted March 4, 2014 You don't have to go into config. There is an in-game setting for it in Dayz SA. That should be removed imo due to misuse. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eleventhavenue 204 Posted March 4, 2014 My money is 3pp. He definitely has big height and reach advantage over 1pp. Hell, 1pp won't even see him coming Indeed he won't because 1pp is on the hardcore server while 3pp is periscope sniping in elektro :) I don't think the problem with 3pp is unrealistic, in fact I don't think there is any problem with it at all as long as I get the alternative to play on a server where it is disabled for me and everyone else. Then the periscopers can have fun killing each other on a different server. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then the periscopers can have fun killing each other on a different server.I've stated this multiple times already, some 1pp players have friends who only play 3pp so that kind of forces them, unless they don't play with their friends, to play on a 3pp server and yes, while they have the option to use 3pp they don't which puts them at a sever disadvantage. Their only options is to play the cheap way, don't play the cheap way and get killed more often than they would on a 1pp or don't play with their friends. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is too bad for them :) If their friends like periscope sniping, then maybe they should get other friends...Altough, to be a bit constructive, I think measures can be taken that reduces the amount of exploitation that can be done with 3pp.However, I don't personally feel any problem with it at all, as long as there are alternatives.Really the amount of sadistic murderers I've met has gone down by a huge amount since the addition of the hardcore hive. I really like how it is right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sencha 100 Posted March 4, 2014 I play a lot of 3rd person, but I can't even argue that it's easy mode. You can stand behind a wall and look over it with your magic floating invisible camera of cheatingness. It gives KOS noobs a huge advantage when stalking unsuspecting players.

Most 3p users don't want to admit it but the other player has the same advantage over them when they can't see him but the other one is safe behind cover and kills them...then they whine about the other one beeing a camper bitch. If i wanted to watch a player who is moving into my direction on a 1p server i had to peek around the corner and expose myself giving the other player a chance to see me.
