Hiding Polearms While Arching

I think it would be fair if archers with polearms on their backs could actually see where they're shooting. A while ago, in the duel server, whenever you drew your bow it would automatically go in this weird first-person-looking mode. Would it be possible to automatically hide a polearm or weapon on your back when you left click to shoot? Other people would be able to see it on your back, but you couldn't for however long you held your left click.

Use First Person mode.

Yeah I remember that "forced FPS" look while aiming though, it wasn't bad.

Play in first person all the time, you'll solve the problem.

Can't play well with the first person view. I don't worry worry about it anymore though because I would never play a polearm archer with the recent patches. :D

Saying, "Play in first-person," isn't a fair thing to say. Melee in first person. Let's see how you like it (referring to the majority of people)!

I was a polearm archer. I noticed this. I switched to first-person. Problem was solved. :rolleyes:

I love it.
It is a fair thing to say, both views have their drawbacks and the drawbacks of first person tend to outweigh those of third person. God forbid that switching views might actually be useful in this one, rare instance. Not to mention that either view is just one instant button push away.

I have no idea why the devs added slots, unability to sheath, and removed all invisibly carried weapons. It was fine as it was.....

i liked carrying a musket, a pistol, 2h sword and bullets... o wait that's fire and sword wrong mod(its a mod not a game). Seriously though i could use a 2h a shield and an arblast before the slot patch, i don't like that i cant but i feel better not being able too cause it felt... like a 1 man army kinda thing. now i have to choose wisely, though i wish heavy bastard sword was 1 slot
The purpose of wearing plate has become nothing more than crippling yourself to look like a knight... or maybe its my lack of athletics

It's still not realistic. The Yumi is larger than the War Bow, yet which takes two slots? If slots were put in to be realistic, then I don't think every other thing in this mod would be unrealistic.

Also, first person and third person aiming is different. You can't just tell someone to go in first person, because you have to aim totally different.
