As title says, let 3rd person PoV for Private & Coop Servers be an option. Overwatch, Star Wars Battlefront, Battlefield, etc...so many games allow this option for those that prefer and/or can't play first person too long without getting dizzy or headache.
Vision and intent of games can change over time, and this would open SoT to so many more gamers.
Thanks
The years I've been playing this game, it's never been an issue for me. Just because World of Warcraft let's you ride dragons, doesn't mean Sea of Thieves should have them too. This is Sea of Thieves. If I were to go to those game forums and ask if they could implement what Sea of Thieves has, those players would tell me the same thing.

I wonder how fun it's gonna be once you forget to switch to 1st person, and clip with 3rd person camera right before you enter the cabin. I also wonder how you're gonna aim with it in a small place as under the deck (or again, cabin)
They barely agreed to allow 110 FoV, after years of crybabies on the forum.
Nah, it ain't happening, as it doesn't make any sense in terms of gameplay.

What do those games have in common compared to SoT?? (They are all FPS shooters...)
and frankly idk how people play BF or OW in 3rd person, it nightmare.

7 years and first Ive heard of this 1st person dizzy/headache argument. It always the FOV issue. :/

Well, as long its part of the Private and Coop servers, the ones you...Pay for...sure I can see Rare doing this :/
But picture this, you go into a cramped tight dark cave. How is the camera gonna function in such a tight space? Or below Deck of a ship?
Or better, Swimming below the waters, that make me sick thinking about it.

Those games were designed with both perspectives in mind, but Sea of Thieves was built specifically for first-person gameplay. Just because other games offer third-person options doesn't mean it's a good fit for every title. The design choices in SoT are intentional and core to its experience.
Some of you really need to cut screen time, w/1k-10k posts... pov options are a good thing. Clearly Rare is moving away from their initial philosophy behind SoT with Coop and private servers.
With recent Microsoft news Rare's priority should be bringing in new players, not listening to the old: we don't like change, they can't do X, sot wasn't made that way, oh no small spaces!
From my search Rare in SoT development tried both pov's, but first-person was chosen for a subjective "immersion".
Post is for the devs, not the minority sot forum community. No big deal if it ever happens, but if it does great. Plenty of games to play and support, and pirate games on the horizon.

Yea, chosen, and ran with for ~8y. For a good reason.

Post is from minority, for minority, and on a public forum* 😉 Also, it seems that "minority" against this, is higher than people agreeing with this. So there's that lol
