    I legit don't know how ArmA's community got hijacked to the point that the majority of the population despises 1st person because they cant see over walls, but its reality. 1st person only solves a ton of issues i see in wasteland / life servers, but it makes people "uncomfortable". 

    A lot of people complaining about tanks & apcs probably wouldn't if they had limited field of view as they do in first person. Lone armor is very easy for infantry to kill.

    Unfortunately 1pp is a population killer. Hopefully the game mode is popular enough that we can have 2 servers, but we'll see. 

    Not only do they not like first person only, they freak out at any mention of it. It's like we're taking candy from babies.

    I understand your point and don't try to scare you away but if the majority of the new bar's visitors will be old customers from the original then it wouldn't be wise to change the music against their liking. A great test would be to run two servers with strife with 1st and 3rd person perspective. Only then you could truly monitor the popularity of different views. All we do now is speculate, i just highly doubt that a reddit poll is any accurate to the actual result.

    Yeah I'm sure that a 1pp only would be less popular, you are right. But as long as it has a high enough population that it's fun, it should work. Unless they just want more donations I guess. However, your same logic applies to other games like COD or BF where you end up with the same experience every time because the developers are too afraid to make content that is different.

    @Hamilton 

    Situation is like this, you're driving down the highway and decide you want a nice beer so you pull up to a bar and go inside and enjoy your beer.

    There is some good old rock 'n roll music playing but you don't like it, so you ask the bartender to put up justin bieber.

    Bartender says people here don't like justin bieber, customers will leave!

    You're like, but he has so many fans! Your bar will start doing great business! Screw those old hags who have come here aslong as this pub is running, it's a new era! *Pulls out phone from pocket* See how many views he gets on his videos!?

    It's more like this, assuming I like Beiber. I go into a bar, I don't like the music. I suck it up and stay, spend a lot of time at the bar. Then, I find out that the owner is opening up a new bar. I lightly suggest that he consider trying some Beiber too because the vast majority of people prefer Beiber over that disgusting Rock. Then, a massive wave of his previous customers decide that they alone get to choose exactly how the new bar is run and everything that goes into it, because hey they are loyal players. BTW I played tanoa life all the time, so it's not like I'm just some new guy who is demanding it be how I want it. I'm part of the community. Just not the same person as everyone else is.

    Hamilton, just stop. If you want to play FPO then go to a FPO server. I think a lot of the community here and many others that would potentially join in the future would be pushed away if FPO. This community isn't going to change and if you don't like that you might as well move on.

     

     

    These kind of posts are why we need a dislike button.

    That is very clear to me now, this community is hellbent on their 3rd person camera and will stop at nothing to belittle anyone who wants any shred of realism.

    How about you try a poll with the Asylum community since it's you know.. thats the player base.

    Asylum people despise first person, unless developers want to take a big gamble and try draw an entire different audience your reddit poll is irrelevant.

    Not trying to offend but i've just been around a long time on Asylum and actively follow suggestions/discussions, the asylum community will not stand behind it.

    You can edit your main post and then insert a poll for this thread, go try it and we'll find out :) 

    Because your argument is nobody would play a 1pp only server, I'm showing that people would join, just maybe not the people from the life servers. I know that asylumers despise it mostly, but you guys aren't the majority of arma players and that's the target audience.

    If we ever determine it would be able to provide a full server the majority of the time, it's something we may would look into.

    But not before launch.

    Maybe a poll then to ask the community? Only way to determine that. No rush though. 

    I don't think it would be a success in your community because they are all so used to 1pp only, but other communities in arma would kill for it, so I'd post a poll on arma reddit, not on this website.
