Third Person View?

[Andy Nord]

Or is it First Person only?

[Ear]

Currently, it is FPP. We do plan to give server owners the ability to have third person in the future!

[Andy Nord]

Ok. That would be great.

I personally don't like 3rd person but I respect that you and others do, BUT. Allowing 3rd person view is very tricky to balance unless you just slap it on and call it good. They could pretty easily "just add" a 3rd person mode but that would lead to a lot more problems and bugs. 3rd person peeking could be a huge issue, but that is pretty hard to fix so it's kept in in most 3rd person games, but it could also potentially allow people to clip their cameras into environments/buildings to see through walls.
But that being said. An update on the progress would be nice for those who care though!

How we are thinking of handling 3rd person would be that it is a toggle-able factor when starting a save. also, server owners would have the ability to make their server have the option for 3rd person!

So when you release your server files this month is third person going live?

The update for this month will include the public dedicated server tool, a German translation for our game, and other small tweaks and fixes.

Then, the following update, will include a massive overhaul of the combat system. This will most likely be the update we would be able to introduce the option of third person. However, if for some reason we run into many issues with the combat system overhaul and run out of time before pushing the update, it would be in the next one :)

So are you saying that 3rd person will only be available to the multi-player mode and not Single-player.. and what is Server Owners.. i don't play multi-player mods Im a Single-player only type of gamer.. it that a Paid Server..

Third person will be an option available to everyone. Both single player and multiplayer!

Here[www.playzsgo.com] is an article better explaining whats going on behind the scenes. The third person option would be arriving with the System Overhauls update. :)
