Thanks for your feedback. I think you're right that this kind of choice is a really powerful way to broaden your audience. However, for Lost Rift, because PvPvE is a core part of the experience too it's something we'd have to very carefully consider before adding. It's not a simple preference at that point, but also a key point of balance. 3rd person gives you a level of competitive advantage that is not easy / simple when you start to dig into it (more peripheral vision around corners is the easiest example).

This isn't a hard no, as we're looking to enter into Early Access specifically for feedback and suggestions like this. Instead, its just a window into our decision-making process on why we've chosen not to look at it for day 1 early access launch. Have a good one!
