Talk:Observer Mode

Thoughts on Observer
I really enjoy watching but I still think there's lots of room for improvement. I think it would be more helpful if OM was more like game replays. This way users can watch their favorites whenever they want and also have standard viewing controls(play, pause, rewind etc).--The King Tarosian 20:49, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree. I think my ideal at the moment would be a special version of the GW client, launched by command line and just for replays, like the way City of Heroes does it; COH lets you arbitrarily start and stop recording your play at any time, saves it to a file, and you watch it just by doing something like coh.exe -replay -, frex. The observer chat is so crazy as to be useless right now, so you're not losing anything by taking it offline.
 * I'd probably like to see a menu that you download matches from -- same window as current Observer Mode, right, just a data transfer instead, to your hard drive. And update the Guild Wars website with a "match of the week". --Nunix 22:36, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
