How many resources are being used on improving third person?

Recommended Posts

I was wondering how many programmers/resources are being used on improving third person mode? Rather than finishing the core game?

3 and a quarter.

 

Poor chap had to give a leg and an arm for this.

 

Why?

I doubt much... there's a lot of discussion on it but the developer time to change the camera angle to over shoulder and play with some other things I'd imagine would be minimal.

You had me laughing thinking of a twist of an old joke, "What do you call a developer with no arms and no legs in the middle of the ocean?" ... Bob.

We've never had a new forumer come here and question the allocation of dev resources before.

 

Thank you.

 

Now, with this enlightenment, the game will magically become the first Alpha to skip Beta altogether and go straight to 1.0 without ever flagging in performance or expressing another new bug.

 

My hero.

Poor fellow.. Who knew game development was that dangerous!

 

Edit: I was just curious. That's all.

I saw your yarded post in regards to 1st person experimental servers, I assume this post is articulated from the angle that since you hate third person you feel that they are wasting their time improving it.

 

Rest assured you are in the minority.

 

BUT REJOICE! The dev's have kept you in mind and I have heard no whispers that tell tale of the death of the 1st person view. Server owners (an exclusive club to which you could become a member at any time) are, and will always be, allowed to force 1st person view for those whom desire that playstyle. Its a wonderful compromise that seems to displease those whom march to the beat of the "ERMAGERD WALLHACKS!"  drum but satiate most other players. 

 

It's an argument I find strange and unnecessary, but I am just a weak voice in a large crowd so far be it from me to attempt to further pacify your 3rd person bloodlust.

Actually, I don't mind third person. I want people to be able to play the game their way. If that includes third person, lasers or robot attack ponies, I say, knock yourself out.

 

I'll play my way, you play your way. Nothing will be lost for either of us.

 

Edit: I was really just curious as to how many resources goes to third person.

I assume you've taken away the first person EXP servers because we're suppose to tell you about the third person camera, but I personally think third person is too stupid to even bother testing. So please keep a few first person EXP servers..

Considering how fundamentally important it is and how much it could improve gameplay I would hope all of them right.

Let me clarify. I meant the camera mode. It cannot be helped, and I do believe it's stupid to waste any more time on it.

Hello there

 

TBH your personal opinion  that it's stupid to devote any resources has little  value to the devs.

 

This "issue" wont hinder the games progress in any way.

 

Also, your first post in this thread is very passive aggressive and i can see the flames growing, so as you've had your answer I shall close this to save you from the masses.
