Scuba Mask..... @Devs
Can you pls remove the black frame in the field of view if being in 3rd person.... ( i also don't have ugly annyoing frame when wearing one of the helmets or the nerdy glass skin...ect..ect )



as well, i have no idea what the intention of the mask was...... was it just to see colors under water... so far the mast just adds colors.... you don't really get a clear sharp view, like if you wear real life scuba masks.... just saying..

I think the shape is wrong. Wouldnt be so oval versus rounded square

Here is an example.

(Minus nose blocking of course)

Lol it makes perfect sense, because then you'd just being ignoring the 'drawback' to having the overlay in the first place. I mean, personally I think they should just ditch it, because its not like we have to put up with it for flak helms, but w/e.

Here is another example of how the border should look.

While it may not make sense, it would give third person an advantage over first. So they would have to get rid of the overlay for all or none.

yeah the tunnel vision is weird---but whats weirder for me is the reflection from the surface. it reflects my spear as though its a mile long---really messes with depth perception.

Drawback? what for? so far the mask add just a bit color, nothing, really nothing else.... i mean the view is still blurred.... so there is really noting usefull in it so far.

Edited link above. Vision is just darkened versus blocked. Seems good compromise for ff=irst and third.

The mask makes it easier to see underwater. The drawback is the black outline. If you were able to get rid of the black outline by going 3rd person, you'd be able to get the enhanced vision with no negatives.

I'm not sure if it's just your settings, but with Epic I can see significantly farther than without the mask on. Makes it easier to spot claims and oil.

I run everything on epic too and i can see as far as i want with and without goggle....

So... you are saying that people should not be able to use the mask in 3rd person?
I've not gotten my game patch to see what the view is like yet.....


Why? Many people don't and can't play in first person because of vertigo issues.

No, he wants the overlay borders gone. I'm suggesting just make that area darker. Seems good compromise without turning overlay off for both.

Why does the view change back to the default one if wearing a mask but riding a plesio for example
