How the ♥♥♥♥ do you not see the point? Are you blind?

If you go into settings you can change the view from FPV to TPV.

1st person making you sick in that dino game is only because devs think it is cool to shake the screen. They disregard reality that eye movements counter head movements so your vision does not actually move. The dino game does have a server config to allow 3rd person, but they would be better off getting rid of screen shaking (which there is a config for but does not work).

This is NOT an issue in WURM because the game does NOT shake your head - it uses a stable guardian angel view at a constant eye level - you can even see your own head when farming. You can increase FOV to accomodate any tunnel vision sickness you might have. Your FOV will only swing when you use mouselook or turn keys, not when you do actions.

The choice has to be a server config because of the PVP/PVE advantages of 360 visuals that 3rd person gives you, it cannot be a client config because it puts those who prefer first person for immersion and VR play at a tactical disadvantage - everyone on the server has to agree on that choice.

Its been asked for for years. This must be some heck of a testing phase.

Welcome to Wurn ;)

I religiously use first person whenever I can, but I like to see my own character from time to time.

As it's a slow paced game it would be nice to switch to 3rd sometimes e.g. while digging.

1st person is nice, but I feel like it's never quite 100% right, maybe VR headsets will fix that soon.

Any chance of VR support?

I know how to enable 3rd person, but it's really more of a very zoomed in over-the-shoulder camera. Is there any way to have the camera zoomed out a little? I tried messing with other settings, like FOV, but no joy.

where?

When you click on "settings" in-game, it opens up the settings window, but it runs behind the game so you can't see it unless you switch to windowed mode. These settings have a couple of options that don't show up in the launcher menu, such as 3rd person.

Be warned however - every time I tried to change back to full screen on the fly, it crashed the game.

As I said, it's really more of an over-the-shoulder view. Kind of annoying to look at. If you could zoom out a little and have the camera more centered like a traditional 3rd person view, it would be much easier on the eyes.

If anyone knows if there's a way to do this, I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise we'll just have to wait and see if they ever improve it. From what I understand though, it's been "experimental" for an abnormally long time.

I get that the primary concern is combat advantage in PVP. However, as someone who hates PVP and almost always plays alone, I would love to have the option. The option should be made to whoever is hosting. And if guests don't like it, they simply don't have to join.

Thanks Michael.

So many opinionated people throwing out their self-righteous indignation about an aspect of POV in a game, and being rude in the process by not even answering the question. Sad world.

[Romen]

The question was answered by one of the devs already. As far as people throwing out their opinions that's fine by me as long as they aren't rude about it. Personally I don't buy the argument that we shouldn't have 3rd person because it gives an unfair advantage over people who don't use it. One could just as easily say we shouldn't have mouselook or strafing because people who don't use it are at a disadvantage.

There are people that prefer third person because it can decrease dizziness, i am an example.

[Ozgamer]

i prefer first person because it actually feels like your doing the work at hand and not watching someone else do it.

Well that certainly is a good reason. Hope that helps you then.
