Will anyone host a forced first-person server?

Would be a lot of fun I think. A lot of players enjoy the thrill of first person but their competitive nature reverts them back to third person. I think if we had a server with forced first person, a lot of us could play without feeling horrendously disadvantaged WHILE maintaining the excitement of first person mode.

It would definitely give us something new to do while we wait for conquest modes and other delicious goodies the devs might be cooking up.

I could be wrong but this definitely sounds like something a dev could make overnight. It seems like it would be a matter of changing a few lines in the code/scripts. Anyways, if this can be done, will it be done?

Preferably for both NA and EU. I would even be happy with 20-30 man servers. Hell, if this was done I would dedicate to making maps specifically for this game mode.

Oh and...

I'm pretty sure it's hard coded, but with the script enhancer I guess they might be able to pull it off.

But the question is, would they?

And the answer is...

I'd rather they focus on fixing Strat and/or adding conquest game modes over a game mode almost no one will play.

What's the point of playing dress up with your char if you dont get to see him in action?

I always play 1st person, and I always get owned.  I tried 3rd on duel server and actually won a couple.  But I can't throw worth shit, which is where I'm most effective, and I can't get used to watching some other toon fight my battles.  I wanna be there, I wanna be me.

Plus it does add a lot more thrills to combat.  In single player I always played 1st person cuz it's so much more immersive.  In cRPG I do too, cuz it's a hell of a lot more thrilling, despite the fact that I almost always lose.  In 1st person you have to visualize where your enemy is, watch what they do and swing or block accordingly.  As a shielder I use a lot of footwork, and you develop a second sense as to your surroundings and as to your enemies position.  I'm sure if people did it on a level playing field they'd love it once they got used to it.  It might stop a few of those people whining that the game has gotten boring compared to when they first played it.  True skill demands 1st person.

If there ever was such a server, for many people it would be like a brand new game.  Every thing they know, every tactic they have would be out the window, and they would have the thrill of trying to master a much more difficult and skill based mode of fighting.

So in summary, nerf 3rd person and buff 1st person.
