    I wouldn't want to play wow like this. The camera would be a giant clusterfuck. Just imagine playing an Demonhunter. Jumping around and so... Nausea incoming. I wouldn't even know how to place all my abilities on my bars and then using them without seeing anything.

    How on earth will you do VR in a third person view? The whole point of VR is immersion and you lose that with a third person view.

    You're right about the demon hunters haha

    I could definitely see some sort of UI overlay that only appears when you want it to. Or mapping abilities to an Xbox controller like most VR games are played with?

    theres plenty of 3rd person vr games. theyre great.

    theres currently 2 main ways 3rd person is done. one where its like you're sam and the main guy is frodo, and one thats like you're looking over a fence into a garden.

    Hypothetically, at least in my dream (lol),it would be from a first person view.

    just wouldnt work with wow. would have to be built from the ground up to even be worthwhile which at that point why not just make a vr warcraft game.

    i could see them adding headtracking and motion controls but not first person.

    The first VR MMORPG will be the new WoW, but I do not think it will be WoW.

    But Ive seen people use the Rift on GTAIV and honestly it looked pretty good. I dont see you playing competitively but I am sure someone is out there right now using the Rift playing WoW for the shiggles.
