Boss fights in first person

I play in first person about 50% of the time. I would love some kind of indicator on screen when I'm standing in bad. Plz read zos :)

    You taking erroneous damage and debuff indicator not enough?

    Hmm I don't have the debuff icons turned on. When I play destiny2 and I'm standing in something that is or will hurt me a big red arrow blinks on the bottom of the screen while my controller rumbles. I like that
    I guess I could just ask zos to redesign all boss fights with 1st person players in mind but that seems unlikely.

    First person was tacked onto a third person game, and many of the indicators and stuff doesn't exist. Might in an add-on.

    Further proof first person is mostly a afterthought is many of the new emotes and stuff lack first person animations. Like /summonbat doesn't have anything play in first person.

    When I play 1st person against big nasties I take my cue from red damage numbers popping up on my screen.

    I agree with your request, just giving you a currently available work around.

    First person is hardcore mode.

    Either you accept that, even though nobody will give you credit for it, or you eventually give in and switch to third person.

    I used to be a hardcore fundamentalist, but I have to admit I can do so much more after succumbing to the lure of third person easy mode.

    No need for such “all or nothing.” Use third for group competitive play, first person for immersive solo play. Fighting dragons in first person with everything off your HUD is very epic. 😁

    Whether you are playing 1st or 3rd person pov, the effects are the same. You decide to experience the immersion and realism, so it's up to you to live with the consequences of your choice and look down on the ground every once in a while. Just like you would do in RL.

    And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
    And if there is no room upon the hill
    And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
    I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
