What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
As of 10/2, there was a restriction placed where you can no longer use Third Person During Codes 1, 2, and 5.
My suggestion is to remove this restriction.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Considering this was implemented in the first place, I assume that a suggestion got passed to put this restriction into place. However, the general population of the server heavily disagrees with this.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Rids possibilities on GOI Metagame.
Using this, GOI (CI mainly), can use this to their advantage. During a DC, they can use the Third Person to see if they've been called out, or if any SCP's have breached. It also can be the reason a Main Raid happens. CI can use this to their advantage thinking "All MTF must be focused on the Code-5, so it is a great time to raid while there is a distraction".
- As a player who mostly combats, and uses third person, it is very disappointing as 1st person FOV looks like shit for lack of a better term. Third person enhances roleplay experience especially during events. You're given a wider range on everything so you can see more of the event, and it just looks much nicer.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Third Person abusing. This has been an issue on every server, not just Civil Networks, but that has never warranted for a server to restrict 3rd person. If you are worried about 3rd person abusing, just call a staff sit, and request video evidence.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Yes this third person restriction should be removed. Due to the general negative feedback of the community (currently 224 Downvotes to 30 Upvotes in the changelog discord channel). A lot of people are upset with this decision. Also, Third Person during Events and even active Codes allows for a better RP experience despite the possibility of third person abusing.
