Hiding Polearms While Arching

[Chaos]

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.

Let's not go for realism because yumi bow is an extra option for archers that like to suck a challenge. Having your polearm visible on your back eliminates archers hiding big weapons in their asses and then pulling them out to the surprise and misfortune of pursuing infantry. Because it's fair.

I know their aiming is different, I'm saying "get used to it" because there should be a drawback to constantly being able to see over your own shoulder and wearing huge weapons on your back simultaneously.

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.

Polearms should not be sheathable. Problem solved together with a bunch of other balancing issues.

It's obvious there are other options: 1st person, use different weapon, etc.

However, there is an issue with certain pole arms blocking the reticle in 3rd person mode. It would be cool to have it addressed rather then "do something else" which is usually a respec to 1h or 2h.... I don't know if it's in the game mechanics to move the position of the sheathed weapon or not as that would be a simple solution.

You obviously haven't read what I said.

Have anyone thought about just binding the view change key to something quick like R and just, you know, switching between the views depending on whether you're shooting or not?

ìt's R standard, but you right


WE HAVE FOUND A FREKIN SOLUTION!!! SO STOP WHINING AND DEAL WITH IT!

First person forces tunnel vision, not ideal if running and gunning.

[Miley]

Yeah, you ignorant poops!

[MrShine]

Agreed.  First person archer is a soon to be dead archer.  There are some cool weapons I'd love to try as a sidearm if they didn't block my sight.

First person archer is a soon to be dead archer.

Almighty bullshit.

[Miley]

Almighty bullshit.

But it's true.

I want to be able to literally watch my own back all the time and use every weapon in the game with no drawbacks. Therefore, cater to my 3rd person view needs!

Say the ex-RS clan that bitched whenever someone shot them or threw something at them because they wanted to play without a shield, therefore everyone cater to their e-peens?

Right. Interesting moments in the TS. 

The point is, 1st person is unusually limited in view.

[Bobthehero]

And yet totally doable.
