3rd person vs 1st person.

[SilnyMaciej]

To make accels and drags better is 3rd person or 1st person?

[Codester]

1st person is best unless you really dislike looking away from an opponent for a half second when initiating a drag. But honestly it just offers far more control and accuracy to place hits way better. 3rd person might help some brand new players with situational awareness. But it serves as a gimp in the end. Like how using a controller is also a gimp. May as well just get used to and stick with 1st so that you can improve yourself that much faster.

Basically what guy above me said. 1st person teaches better. 3rd really only helps w situational awareness.

[Geronimo426]

1st person only for me. 3rd is for people that need a camera to watch their back. They need to make 1st person only servers. I believe they had this in the original game.

I did read most best players do use 3rd person because it gives them an advantage.

[Mr. Do Everything]

Third person when expecting multiple enemies, First person when expecting a single opponent.

Of coarse. Few will admit it, but just watch gameplay of 3rd. Sooooo easy to track people all around you. People come up from the back, especially if they are using a short weapon you will see them and have time to react. If that person was in 1st person, they would have gotten hit in the back. We need 1st person only servers for sure.

I basically only use First Person Perspective with bows and the ballista. The FOV seems too cramped but that may be changable.
Third Person Perspective helps with conveyance of your attacks but hinders conveyance of enemy attacks. You'll hit less teammates because you see the full range of your swings. Somewhat better mob control since you can see more. Duels are harder but not significantly so. I find myself gambling/reading more than I'd like but that's the "only" downside to TPP.

It honestly feels like cheating when I'm in TPP rushing down FPPs in their blind spot. Then I get smoked by some nuanced combat and it balances out.

I absolutely agree.

most of the top players use 3rd because it gives them a slight advantage. But you aren't a top player, so that slight advantage means nothing, so who cares. Just use what feels natural to you.

What advantage?

You lose so much just so you can see 4 feet on your immediate left and right.

Exactly. It’s not hard to look around in 1st.

Or use your ears.

Even if you want to do insane drags or accells you’re only losing sight on the person you’re fighting for a split second. What options does your opponent have in that time? Basically nothing.

Predominately your fine control over dragging your weapon and footwork. You can do it so much easier in first. Not to mention in first you ain’t got yourself blocking your own view.

idk third person is much easier but i suppose its personal choice, i can control drags and accels fine in third person,maybe cause i played chiv 1 and mordhau so im used to it, first person gimps you in group fights so obviously third person is better for this situation.
