Suggestion for spectator and learning mode

[Thaliss]

Spectator not bad idea.
But having someone that could help from outside the group I don't think they would allow it.
Even if no in-game chat for the spectator, have someone on voice that could call for phases, warn people etc...not game breaking but clearly an advantage.

I am not against it, just I don't think they will do it.

As for learning/god mode, the fear itself should be enough (yeah hydra pun intended ) Try and retry is the learning process.

If there was the death penalties from ancient mmos, I would say why not.

Spectator mode is only for watching, not meant for help from the outside, that's what PUG's are for.

It would still be the same with learning mode, only difference would be that you can concentrate on the phases you have problems with instead of having to go through the phases you have already finished in your learning curve. Plus the option to slow the fight down as mentioned to learn the phase quicker. And in the end, you still have to kill him in the normal game mode with regular speed and regular fierce attacks. :P So no cheating or "easy Titan for bad players", just a different approach weeding out a few of the difficulties people have with particular fights.

I know it is just for watching.
You have a 8 players from a FC in a dungeon then a 9th member of the FC goes in as a spectator.
The 9th could be in charge to warn the others of incoming phases, positioning of ennemies whatever..

As I said not gamebreaking. But giving a small advantage I don't think they will.

And players will find ways to abuse systems

Everyone who uses VOIPs (vent, mumble, teamspeak, etc) are already doing this. The only difference is the person calling out the abilities is doing the fighting as well. If anything what they can do is allow spectating with a delay of 30 seconds. That way it's not live to the second, but they can still see the fight unfold.

It's not different than watching a video on YouTube with a commentary which would make any in-game recordings or spectating almost pointless. Spectating could serve as a way of having someone watch you and help make suggestions for the next attempt, but at most that would be it.
