Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’m a content creator on YouTube. I was looking for tools that I can use to record my PvP gameplay on Guild Wars 2. (I’m not talking about video recording programs like Fraps btw.) I think what GW2 lacks is in game PvP replay option.

Think about it. If you prepare a tool like that we can replay and see our mistakes, record our maches, publish them on social media, learn from better players by watching their matches etc.

Let me give you an example. There is a game called League of Legends. A MOBA game. In that game you can watch other peoples matches, see their items, slow down the time, can watch the whole thing from different perspectives.

Yes, you can watch matches in LoL but can not view those matches after closing the client. (GW2 also has something like that, spactating live matches. But it’s not replaying.)

Like that’s not enough, there is a third party tool called League Replays. You can do more with that tool. After you record your match in a file. You can open it wheneveryou like with League Replay, then you can do almost anything with it.

Watch the whole match again, free camera view, key camera positions, adjust speed, change the sky color, take green screen footage from the characters.

Think about possibilites. Think about what YouTubers can do with it!

I like the idea and sounds like it would interface with PvP coaching very well (dragon rank, must have made it to the semi-finals in a ranked tournament, and to once have obtained the equivalent of 2200 Elo to use a WoW analogy so even if they dip below that threshold sometime will still be flagged as eligible for coaching) where you could charge gold based on your demand and reputation. There would be classes of 10 students and reservations, group play in something similar to a guild hall but located in The Mist for practice rounds (classes involving 1v1 and 1v2, including yes it’s okay to try escaping when the side with 2 obtains their logical advantage) where the footage is watched by a coach (e.g., “consider rebinding ‘2’ to ‘W’ as it’s far more convenient and easily accessed from home row” or, “The more essential an ability the closer to home row it should be” or, “What were you thinking engaging a reaper 1v1?” etc.)
