First Person view setting not retained

[Juggerlord]

Having an annoying problem with this. Haven't seen anything in the stickies, or through searching the forum. Do people generally not play in 1st person?

Essentially what happens is that the game keeps reverting to using the third person view - each time I log in, each time I move between zones, each time I use the book of binding, each time I respawn after dying. If I go into the general settings the 'use first person' option is still set. I have to untick it, click apply, then tick it again and apply again.

It's not game-breaking but it's a frequent annoyance. Any advice please? Any more information I can provide to help?

An MMORPG in first person? Who would ever want to play like that? Especially in big fights where you can barely see where everyone else is. Third person is the way to go son.

if you get really drunk it's pretty immersive

You shouldn't play in 1st person, lest your situational awareness suffer.

The only mmo were i liked the first person was Elder Scrolls online, because you could see your hands/weapons. In pvp you didnt use first person because it was to slow

I think the fastest way would be to just scroll into first person with the mouse wheel.

As a workaround you can use this macro to toggle the view mode with one button:

Code: Select all

/script SystemData.Settings.Camera.useFirstPersonView = not SystemData.Settings.Camera.useFirstPersonView BroadcastEvent(SystemData.Events.USER_SETTINGS_CHANGED)
