Default First Person; Third Person an Ability

Cleric and Mage ability. "Divine Sight" for Clerics and "Mage Eye" for Mages. I guess Divine Sight would have higher uptime [more passive] while Mages have to Channel the ability.

While we're at it. . . Rangers pull their arrows and aim left/right of where they're facing lol

Mage gets a dark dark dark inky blue aura radiating further and further in the direction of the player camera based on third person range. Cleric gets soft barely visible illuminance that sorta reaches towards their camera as well. This is visible to other players.

What's different from a Cleric having 3rd person compared to anyone else?

Because they have Divine Sense. Holy Sight. Looking down from above. And everyone else is in first person view.

No, I definitely want 3rd person and definitely want to zoom out a ways when I need to.

I'm sorry but you must roll Cleric for such Divine Sight. To gaze down from the heavens is a Cleric's boon.

In my experience, clerics tend to be quite short-sighted & narrow-minded.

Why would default be first person? 3rd person is the norm and standard having it as an ability is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. Again you want backpacks, first person with 3rd person being an ability, de level on death, character deletion, talking shit about the dev time and classes.

Every post you make is just suggesting survival game systems or talking trash about the game it's absolutely embarrassing. Why don't you just play Rust or DayZ? This is an MMORPG.

Why do you keep citing the genre as if the historically rudimentary and formulaic execution of its moniker will banish me.

First person means lower field of view; hence direction one's facing is relevant in any given scenario. The field of view restriction is too much in my opinion but 180 degrees would be good and immersive. The way it fits onto the screen isn't great but I have suggested some technical solutions that could be imagined or playtested by some programmers.

8 x 8 classes as it is is too much to make each combo distinct. Sharif hopes each of the 64 combos has its own unique 4 sub-specializations as well.

Limitations means certain classes can get certain de-limitations.
In this case I have suggested 2 different third person views but there could be a few more,
such as "Eyes of the Beast" for a Beast Master type character;
visual indications of being watched such as an eye at the top of the HUD to indicate they "Get the Feeling of Being Watched" when players are looking at them from outside their field of view or very far away if they're using a telescope type instrument or "Eyes of the Beast" to spy on them; exclusive to say Rangers and Rogues due to their Perceptiveness.

Shutting shit down leaves no room for growth.

You think this will be easy or something? Just gonna pray or don't care what the outcome is?
People want distinct classes with their own mechanics and niche.
