Guild Wars 2

With weapon. looks awesome…pls do it

and 1st person shooter option. for ranged weapon. can be enabled and disabled

That would be a lot of work for something that would be barely used, as having the camera as far as possible is best in most combat situations, as it allows better tactical maneuvers.

This. Even in Skyrim, I only do first person in tight dungeons, and positions matter much less in that game.

While I do enjoy playing Skyrim/oblivion/morrowind/etc entirely in first person mode. I don’t think that it would really be worth it in this game.

Here’s a thread for your reading pleasure.

At first it was hypothetical, then it turned into the camera improvements that we received, many of them based on feedback in that thread. I believe visible weapons in first person were discussed in some detail in that thread, and the possibility in this game dismissed based on technical limitations.

Waste of time and resources.

Its immersive, no doubt about that. For a game like Skyrim, it works great. But this is an MMO. An MMO where half the game is competetive WvW/sPvP and the other half is mindless PvE farming. If you can see behind a wall by being in 3rd person, you will use that to your advantage.

Secondly, GW2 was never designed for first person. Its just not the same when there is no sense of proper scale on most maps (later generation EoTM/Silverwaste/Drytop being far more impressive than original maps). Dont get me wrong, GW2 is a beautiful game and look great. But when you go close to the ground, you’ll realize that things look weird. To compare with ESO, its visuals went in the complete opposite direction – everything looked wrong due to scaling being way off, but that made 1st person “work” because it made the world feel big and more immersive (nowhere near Skyrim though, the intricate details just wasnt there).

Having a 1st person camera mode is great for screenshots. If you want a true 1st person game… GW2 is not it. Maybe you’ll get lucky and see it in GW3, who knows.

Only the Enhanced Camera version can be truly called an amazing 1st person mode.

Dungeons and trying to pick stuff up off of tables.
