POV is lower, grass is tall, we cant see creatures anymore.

Playing this using the larger preset character model. I noticed the grass was in my view and I cant see over it. I zoomed out and seen my character is much taller than the grass. Zoomed in and I watch the camera POV shift to my waistline. It would be nice if they either forced every ones characters to be tiny or adjusted the POV based on character height.

With the new foliage in mind. I cant see smaller creatures prowling in the grass so I think it would make sense to add sneak and line of sight or something. Immersion seems to be taking a hit for me because of these changes.

Also is it just me or is the blood splatter extremely excessive? I punch a tree at the start and blood goes everywhere.

This is the point dude. This looks freaking awesome. Scary to walk through overgrown bushes like it should be. Dino's should be invisible/hard to see. that's the point of their camouflage skin. Eat or get Eaten.

I agree with the OP. The camera is F'd. It's horrible and loose/sways WAY to much in 1st person. It's coming out of your torso and not your eyes. The problem isn't so much that the grass is tall. The problem is that you can CLEARLY see over the grass in 3rd person, and when you go first, your eyes somehow come out of your nipples.

You want to play Survival Game? Do it. This is better than old ark. You have now to watch over your shoulders

OP has a very good point. If you look closely at your character before you zoom into first person, the camera goes into his chest,not his eyes,making us feel VERY short,its super annoying and makes no sense.

and the grass is way too tall in some places, if they make it half the height(the green lush grass) id be very thankful, because it would make it more of a lawn to have gracing dinos in a fence at. If we put babies in that grass, we will never find them again.

Yep, that is exactly what is up. The 1st person fov is messed up for sure.

I agree the grass is too tall and the character's view is out of their chest not their eyes, that should be adjusted

Don't get me wrong, it looks great and your points are valid! Being a survivor of the Ark, a being that was designed to not only survive in this environment but to thrive and then ascend I feel like we need more awareness and capability. Being able to sneak around and avoid detection by all creatures would be valid as well. The ghillie suit should enhance that capability as well.

The grass can stay as is but my hope is they modify our perspectives in first person to match our characters. If they do some of the additional things I mentioned that would just be a plus.

foliage quality = ground clutter/leafy plant size slider for the most part. at medium you still have more ground coverage than ASE by a large margin but a lot of the thicker/taller stuff is lower/more sparse and out of your way without it looking like a custom PVP server with it all turned off

there is also a ground clutter density ini config but i'd leave it alone and just use the foliage quality slider on medium

you can't do anything about camera height in FPV other than higher FOV but it stretches past 60-70

It is pretty terrifying going through the grass. My party was on a raptor taming mission last night and was attacked by troodons that we couldn't see because of the tall grass. Two people died, but I managed to run away and make it back to the beach.

Is it annoying? Sure! Do I like it? Absolutely!

I Can agree, it enhance the survival aspect a lot, but the FPS view is really messed up, i really expect to see it adapted to our height. That would stop people to create that weird goblin...

[HonoredShadow]

Same. I love the grass. It really adds something amazing.

[Possemaster]

The point of the First Person being lower in case of you having a taller person is that the First person and Third person character are the same. So in order to keep your tools in view it centers the camera so you would still see your tools. If they would move it to eye level you would not see your tools.

setting for shorter grass:

grass.sizeScale X (1 is default, i use 0.5, makes it perfect for me, play around with it)

[mortis7]

Tall grass is great, leave it alone.
And POV from the chest seems to be a balancing issue. No matter the height of your character, all have equal vision.

It reminds me of the scene from Jurassic Park ... 2? "Don't go into the talll graaaaasss!!!"
