Guild Wars 2

It would not be easy to implement this at all..

GW2 already has a first person view. It is in the options panel under ‘developer’, which is only accessible during beta testing (or, probably to anet-symbol players). I discovered it during the edge of the mists beta. It’s what you’d expect. view probably changed with character height – my asura saw a lot of crotches. I highly recommend NEVER to go into battle in 1st person view. But for immersion and JP and screenshots, it would be good to have. only thing I would of changed about it is to be able to quickly get in and out of it via mouse wheel (it was a toggle, so to get in and out of it you had to go into the options)

That is interesting, never knew that. I will check it out

Well having in mind that if you stand close to a wall you can scroll with a wheel into your character’s head, I don’t think that it’s that hard to implement. We need it.

Yes please….. I’d like it for screenshotting! <3

So we don’t have to stand butt to butt look at someone else up close.

Yes, please! When this game was in beta, I asked for it on every evaluation. I love the 1st person view in GW1- it lets you see things closer than what we have now. And with all the beautiful LITTLE details in this game, many go unnoticed unless you stand “butt to butt” as Behellagh.1468 pointed out. I’d read here on the forums what Mystic had mentioned and it REALLY got my hopes up. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that after Anet gets this game fully optimized, we get it with the mouse scroll, like in GW1. This game is too beautiful to not have it.

that’s exactly what happens!

first person camera would have a disastrous FOV angle… i know it sometimes better than having your character blocking the entire screen, but still, it’s terribad.

I’m asking for a camera freeze feature that ignores collision with terrain…

Stopping in to throw in what I always throw in:

We aren’t asking for an in-combat first person view. If the devs want to have it snap us out to third person when in combat (and disable it entirely in PvP and/or WvW,) most of us would still be very happy if it was implemented.

There really is no disadvantage to adding it.

This… I don’t even know how to respond to you. Here goes..

Scrolling into your characters head has absolutely NOTHING in common with FPV at all. All you are doing is scrolling into your head. If you enjoy playing inside your toons head fine enjoy but don’t try tell me you are “going FPV”

Where did I say that I’m going FPV? All I’l saying is that if your character disappears when you scroll into their heads and the camera is obviously able to go that low/ high it shouldn’t be a difficult feature to implement.

Well we know the feature is already in-game, but locked under developer options.
All they need to do is unlock it for everyone else

Also, pretty late response Dehvi ^^

I rather give all tonics the ability to jump for jumping puzzles.

First person view isn’t bad.

use “Potion of Ascalonian Mages”, Works in wvw and i guess it should work fine in jump puzzle or what ever

Maybe enable in in CTRL+SHIFT+H.
