Third Person Combat

[Komfy598]

Using a Compound Bow or any ranged weapon when shooting the accuracy is all over the place. shoot an arrow from compound bow and it goes veering off in to a random direction. shoot a gun in third person at a puppet regardless if you aim specifically the bullets dont follow a straight line. has been a long running issue. Firing guns or shooting arrows in first person seems fine, issue only occurs in third person.

Hello :),

This is less of a bug and more of an intended game mechanic. Shooting in 3rd person gave too many advantages over first person players and in the process got an overhaul where there is no longer a 3rd person crosshair and shooting should be done from first person perspective in general to make sure the shots hit . :)

Just my opinion but i'm sure i'm going to get stoned for it.

3pp view shouldn't have been in a pvp game in the first place since they cause more problems than good and mean extra work for the devs. If you want to see your character get the supportter pack and use the camera.
3pp view still isn't bug free you can see a vehicle moving around f.e. a bike without a rider....but the shaky camera has to go especially on the bikes and atv. Whenever i ride my quad irl and have bumps on the road my body and brain compensates for it.

Just let the admins decide. Some servers don't have PVP. Why not give them a choice?

@Deathwhisper, @Enforcer:

That would be assuming everyone who owns this game is going to play on PvP servers, won't it? There are folks over here who don't want to have go into PvP territories for whatever reasons and I fail to see why a simple option is often out of the table. It shouldn't boil down to: "Hmm, this will compromise PvP, so let's just remove this feature that's already in the game for everyone else".

I was just thinking about this. archery have nice 3rd person animations, shame it's just useless trying to use it as is. Also the new mainstream 1st person camera don't help the cause.

If for wathever reason developers decide that combat shouldn't be in 3rd person and screw everyone and their mothers, at least make them auto-switch to 1st person when aiming and back to 3rd person when not, even weapons that don't have sights like some bows.
