Idea: Allowing Spectators in Dungeons

[Kirito]

We can also add spectator mode to colosseum for the same reasons as above... It can be also be a really good show if they offer a once a month competition via the colosseum...

This thread should really get the Dev's attention. Is a spectacular idea and it will be the first MMORPG to use it.

I'm pretty sure the forum moderators will notice with all the likes, but can't really say anything till they get response from HQ. Would be nice if they acknowledged it.

I want everyone to watch you and me fighting in PvP so that's what RPG is for. lol :P

I am sure Yoshi-P also read this forum.

Wait, Dota 2 already have it?

Yes, DOTA 2 has it, but is not MMO, nor a RPG, but is called MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena)

Really I would be happy with any form of spectator mode for arena, but I would prefer an option for third person mode that is like you are watching it from the front row on the arena seating, without any unnecessary wall blocking a small part of your view...

Any spectator mode in any type of competitive PvP type game would have to be on delay if they don't want cheating. Say if you were playing a capture the flag battleground. You could have your friend on Vent spectate the game and tell you where the other teams flag carrier is or call out what the other team is doing or where they are located.

People complain a lot about WoW not having this for their PvP arenas and battlegrounds, but the main reason Blizzard doesn't do this is because people would cheat with it if it was real time. They said something along the lines of they didn't want to do the delay thing because it would be a lot of work to program record save everything that happens then replay it at a later time and they just didn't want to do it.

I hope SE doesn't pass on this because of that. I can completely understand not making it a focus for launch if they feel they already have too much on the table BUT this idea should become a priority ASAP. ARR having a spectator system would be a pretty HUGE selling/marketing point when comparing it to current MMOs, and probably even upcoming ones.

That 'X-factor' that SE needs for ARR to be a huge success.. yeah, this could definitely provide some of that.

Bayohne.. I see you lurking around.. come on tell us what Yoshi saiiiiddd plzzzzzzzzz!!!!

True for normal everyday PvP cases.

Maybe PvP can do another way around or something. like only able to see from a spot or something.
