Forced First person

I propose a (possibly) simple idea to freshen up the usual zerg rush that is most battles.

My proposition is that on a possibly random chance 1:20 rounds or what have you; that the server upon loading a new map that map is forced first person.   

 Now I understand the reluctance of removing player options like these,  but it would , in my mind, freshen the fighting just a bit.  Give everyone a new prespective, and a chance for more fun if only through novelty.  It being forced means everyone is on an even playing field. 

 I can't for the life of me see a reason why this would be bad, so if you see a glaring reason why not please let me know.   



Okay I get it most of you guys just enjoy vanilla battle with no changes.




Reset poll because of wording, but honestly seems kinda pointless.

I won't play this game with forced first person. It's made for 3rd person.

You can still look around in first person.
Sadly, it is hard to see what your character is doing.
No.

Ever died in first person? The deathspin makes me feel like throwing up.
Maybe you are not bad, but you are a boring person. Well, that's the end of the matter.

If warband came out as first person only this would work, you can't expect to force first person on a game that's like 3 or 4 years old (well for me anyways since the beta was so long for warband) and then this mod has been out for almost 2 years (maybe it's already been 2).  And not including the first M&B...

To remove the view that 75+% of the players use for melee combat would be game breaking.  Although I wish Warband was a first person only game from the beginning (you'd probably have to have a larger Field of View however to see what your weapon was doing when you swung it).



Disclosure:  I play 99% of my time on cavalry lancer in 1st person, sometimes I switch to 3rd if I don't think I'll be thrusting my lance in the immediate future.  For infantry I'm always in 3rd person, and for archer or xbow I'm in 3rd person when moving/melee'ing, and 1st person when shooting.

Just an idea to spice things up a bit.  Since new game modes are kinda outta the question.  I play in first person pretty much all the time when I'm pole/ throwing.

I mean just for a single map on a radom basis not a new server or anything just something to pop up and change the pace a bit that's all.  NOT ALL THE TIME.

The 1st person in Warband sucks hardcore. It's totally unplayable, I would support this idea if it would be even somewhat decent and playable... But no, just no.

Once is too much.
You can play 1st person whenever you want. But dont include us /myself.

Well just an idea I had.  Do you have a better idea to spice things up some?  Or is the 3 game modes enough for you?

I'm satisfied with battle alone, playing battle every day since more than 2 years. :)

Sometimes 1st person, but only with crossbow and bow.

Ahh okay,  well I like more random events  personally, if they did a "only gear worth 10k and below"  night or something I would love it.  But its not for everyone, the purpose of this thread was more to get some idea's flowing see if devs are at all receptive to the idea of game modes/ server settings like this.

Damn, too stupid to read. Voted "no", in reference to the thread title : "Forced first person" and forgot to read the question : "would you mind if..."

And i expect i'm not the only one. Just allow to change votes... else it sometimes looks like you try to change the result.
