Petition to re-add first person view

[RedEagle_P1. 905]

The recent Dev diary by ales let us know that they're removing the first person view from ylands. For me and a lot of other people who play this game first person view is the only view which we use. I find it essential to mining building and constructing and I love the close-up feel. If you'd like to have first person view be a long-term proposition please upvote this suggestion (see above). 

UPDATE: They have re-added a basic first-person view:

A 0.11.1 update with first person before Christmas us something we need.

I am having issues sailing. The sails completely blind me. Can they be made to go transparent when they cross the camera view?

Count me in. I didn't buy this game to have my favorite mode of view removed.

 

Basically there's no reason for me to play it without that mode. 

 

For all 3rd person addicts: How would you feel if somebody came in and spray-painted your "front" car window black? See how fun it would be to drive your car from a roof-mounted camera.

As we all know, the game was released in beta, with the targeting system broke. The closest the targeting system came to working accurately was in 1st person view. Now, they have removed 1st person view, breaking the targeting system even more. Now with the 3rd person view, they say be patient we are going to implement a upgraded 3rd person view. 

My question is why would you purposefully breaks the game?
I think the petition should be to have, whomever is running the show, to step down. Maybe they can sweep the parking lot or something, cause they are clearly failing at their job ATM.

Who puts out a game, then makes it so the players won't play it.
You know the player base numbers have fallen off lately.

Hi am new to this game and i think that having a first person view will be awesome for building, underwater exploring and look at the map in general.

I remember Ales said that when we were building we would be able to see through our characters head for fine placement.  Which is sort of true.  But I find being in small spaces, where I do most fine placement, the avatar bounces and jitters.  The view is not at all useful.  I find myself wondering if the devs ever actually play the game.

I do hope first person option is implemented again.   It seems like a must have to me.

should be you have option of first or third with normal viewing, not that only first person when building which frustrating when your wanting look at something in small space

I do want the first person camera back, but I gave up on hoping it will be brought back. 

I think that, by now, the only chance we still have is to ask the devs to give us the option to play the latest version before the first person camera was removed. That could be easily done in the Betas option of the Steam app. That way, they could still keep the first-person-camera lovers engaged until the main version brings it back.

you do have access to it.  It is unsupported aka don't complain if it doesn't work like you want.  /fpscam enable I think is the command.  there might not be a space
