Idea: Allowing Spectators in Dungeons

[Shougun]

Wasn't going to translate OP but got one comment from Rep on JP side today about this so I translated the OP and posted it on the JP thread.

I don't agree with all the stuff that's in the OP's list but I do believe this will be good system to have for those that couldn't make the spot. I know how it was running Dynamis and HNMLS for 8 years in XI lol.

For you guys wanting this to be pushed through, I suggest pushing like on that translated one so the JP rep can see how serious you guys are.

Just curious, but have you previously moved EN posts to JP? Keep us updated XD I'm interested in what they will say about us - we are so damn chatty and maybe that has gained us fame (negative or positive).


Just an aside to the OP ideas, though far less feasible*, I thought SE saving server side replays of the fastest runs / perfect runs (if the party allows their run to be archived) would be very cool. Then you could easier learn from players, or just know how it was done. Also comes with bragging rights, proof, and encouragement to redo content even though there would be little other reason (guild trying to spotlight).

* OP's is a spectator mode, what I'm saying is more of a replay. Replays need to be saved server side to make learning how the server behaves harder (you can learn the requests easier if its all neatly logged in an offline file). Being only a few saved replays it wont be much of a strain for SE but it would still require a different kind of code, perhaps their cutscenes code can be used to get a leg up on it..

If they can compress the replay data then it wouldn't be so hard to allow all players to save a few replays to the server. Still, more code - down the road feature maybe..

Couple of times. Translated this big one once, had major attention in all region forums and JP side didn't have one so I took part in help translating it in Japanese for JP players to see, which turned out very well. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...82%A2%E3%81%A7
