Re: Third Person Mode Discussion thread

I don't like Fortnite !

I tried 3rd person in training , HATE it.

I tried 3rd person in LTM, REALLY HATE IT !

I have to force myself to get 1200 damage, then I will STOP play this 3rd person LTM.

I will not torture myself to get the win quest.

This LTM spoliled & waste my weekend.

MIC drop.

  • It's nothing amazing so far but at least it is a change for a minute. 

  • It’s a good idea, but y’all have missed the mark a little. The camera angle should be just above the head and to the right. As it is it’s basically straight out right from the shoulder. So your Legend is blocking visibility unless you aim at the ground. Some tweaking is needed. 

    This is a good idea and I hope in the future it becomes a permanent OPTION. Every player should have the option of first or third person that’s switchable in-game. We should also have the option to have the crosshairs switchable to either side of the weapon being used. 

    Also, like others have stated above, there is something off with loot/environment interaction. 

    Anyway, I applaud the efforts to implement third person and it is very rewarding being able to see the Legend you are playing. This is the right direction but it does need a little work. 

    Remember, third person camera should be just above the head and slightly to to right of the shoulder. You should be able to look forward without impairing visibility.

    @DarthVaapar It shouldn’t be an option imo, players are favouring the right hand peak way too much, changes the game’s mechanics and dynamics.

    Another thing...  When zooming you lose the benefit of the scopes. Other than digital threats and sniper scopes, all other scopes are just another 3rd person zoom with the hip fire reticles. 

    First, the hip fire reticles are dismal for any precision shooting. The 3x scope, for example, is now much less effective. This purple scope has little value at all as a precision tool. Same goes for all other scopes too. They are much less effective. 

    Second, this should also be optional. If some players prefer a hip fire zoom reticle, this should be an imbedded option for all scopes in a quality 3rd person setup. This would be similar to how players can adjust sensitivity per scope already. 

    Again, I like the idea, but it doesn’t work well currently. I hope that this will be a full option for all players down the road. 3rd person as an LTM only is meh. I’d like to think that this was just an initial test. 

    Lastly, remember, the 3rd person camera should be above the head and to the right of the shoulder. Visibility shouldn’t be impaired at all.

    @DarthVaapar When in third person mode, a right hand peak is when you hide behind cover to see your enemy, gives you the edge for a surprise attack, wouldn’t be fair to implement a third person view option for that said reason.

    i got a video of my past game, you see the cameras too low i couldn't see to the left side when i fired. his back was to the wall so his vision wasn't blocked. you need to put the camera higher.

    like the mcg fight i got choked out by the bad camera.

    @Gabrielmojo26 Ok, yeah, the field of view advantage. I’ve seen it work fine in another game, but you may be right. It may not be a good idea for this one.

    They just were lazy on these events. Just like everyone is saying the overall aim/looking sucks so bad. Try throwing Gibbys ult. Might as well have just taken the ultimate out

    I personally do not like the Third person mode.

    I main blood hound and Blood hound gets in the way of the camera when ADSing. He doesn't get in the way when crouched while ADSing but does standing. Also the over the shoulder camera could be a bit higher and more centered over the character and tilted down a little a bit when Adsing too much background[mountian, hills] and ski action going on.

    When ADSing you don't look down the sight of the gun  it just zooms in a bit which I don't care for. May be if it was like Fps mode when ADSing and I'm looking through the sight it be a little better.

    All in all I didn't really like this mode compared to the other mode's Live Die Live and Gold rush so far.
