Do you play in 1st person - Guild Wars Forums

Brandon1107 · Mar 27, 2007, 01:53 AM // 01:53

This is more of a general question because I was wondering if anyone ACTUALLY plays in first person. I don't for many reasons but I tried it out and its pretty cool looking form your characters point of veiw.

For half a year probably I didn't even know I could go into first person. When I found out I could, I changed just to see what it was like, then switched back, haven't done it again since. Yes, it was interesting, but I prefer to see when an assassin stabs me in the back.

If I play in first-person, it's most probably in an exploration part (realm of torment and dwarven mining facilities are incredible in first-person) or with a ranger during some fights (you actually see your bow getting into position and firing). Some (very) rare spell casting animations are also visible in first-person.

But over-all First-person is there for screenshots.

Can you please enlighten those of us who don't know how to switch, how to do it?

Thank you.

scroll your mouse wheele all the way up(i think, maybe down)

and no, its just for screenshots

Steps Ascending · Mar 27, 2007, 02:38 AM // 02:38

Default controls are : mouse scroll up (or down, not sure) untill you zoom inside your char's head.

Oh I see, that. Thought it was something more sophisticated

First person view gives me a headache. I have to keep my camera zoomed completely out while I play, or it bugs me.

Yes every now and then mostly just to get a good view at places where the 3e persson kamera dosent moved the way as you want.

I sometimes roll into 1st person just for the novelty - but not usually when I'm doing missions and questing. It just makes it harder to see what is going on around you. I guess when you get used to having the camera zoomed out it is a bit like playing with blinkers on.

Certainly gives a whole new perspective on the game though.
